Linus Torvalds 007dc78fea Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Here are the locking changes in this cycle:

   - rwsem unification and simpler micro-optimizations to prepare for
     more intrusive (and more lucrative) scalability improvements in
     v5.3 (Waiman Long)

   - Lockdep irq state tracking flag usage cleanups (Frederic
     Weisbecker)

   - static key improvements (Jakub Kicinski, Peter Zijlstra)

   - misc updates, cleanups and smaller fixes"

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.
