Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Pull more powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"The change to the Linux page table geometry was delayed for more
testing with 16G pages, and there's the new CPU features stuff which
just needed one more polish before going in. Plus a few changes from
Scott which came in a bit late. And then various fixes, mostly minor.
Summary highlights:
- rework the Linux page table geometry to lower memory usage on
64-bit Book3S (IBM chips) using the Hash MMU.
- support for a new device tree binding for discovering CPU features
on future firmwares.
- Freescale updates from Scott:
"Includes a fix for a powerpc/next mm regression on 64e, a fix for
a kernel hang on 64e when using a debugger inside a relocated
kernel, a qman fix, and misc qe improvements."
Thanks to: Christophe Leroy, Gavin Shan, Horia Geantă, LiuHailong,
Nicholas Piggin, Roy Pledge, Scott Wood, Valentin Longchamp"
