Linus Torvalds 63fc9c2348 A collection of x86 and ARM bugfixes, and some improvements to documentation.
On top of this, a cleanup of kvm_para.h headers, which were exported by
 some architectures even though they not support KVM at all.  This is
 responsible for all the Kbuild changes in the diffstat.

README

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.
