Linus Torvalds 921d4f67bf This includes two fixes
- Bring back context level recursive protection in ring buffer.
    The simpler counter protection failed, due to a path when
    tracing with trace_clock_global() as it could not be reentrant
    and depended on the ring buffer recursive protection to keep that
    from happening.
 
  - Prevent branch profiling when FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled. It causes
    50 - 60 MB in warning messages. Branch profiling should never be
    run on production systems, so there's no reason that it needs to
    be enabled with FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Bring back context level recursive protection in ring buffer.

   The simpler counter protection failed, due to a path when tracing
   with trace_clock_global() as it could not be reentrant and depended
   on the ring buffer recursive protection to keep that from happening.

 - Prevent branch profiling when FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled.

   It causes 50 - 60 MB in warning messages. Branch profiling should
   never be run on production systems, so there's no reason that it
   needs to be enabled with FORTIFY_SOURCE.

README

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.
