Linus Torvalds e17ac02b18 kgdb patches for 5.6-rc1
Everything for kgdb this time around is either simplifications or clean
 ups.
 
 In particular Douglas Anderson's modifications to the backtrace machine
 in the *last* dev cycle have enabled Doug to tidy up some MIPS specific
 backtrace code and stop sharing certain data structures across the
 kernel.  Note that The MIPS folks were on Cc: for the MIPS patch and
 reacted positively (but without an explicit Acked-by).
 
 Doug also got rid of the implicit switching between tasks and register
 sets during some but not of kdb's backtrace actions (because the
 implicit switching was either confusing for users, pointless or both).
 
 Finally there is a coverity fix and patch to replace open coded console
 traversal with the proper helper function.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
