Linus Torvalds 275327851e Merge branch 'work.whack-a-mole' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull mode_t whack-a-mole from Al Viro:
 "For all internal uses we want umode_t, which is arch-independent;
  mode_t (or __kernel_mode_t, for that matter) is wrong outside of
  userland ABI.

  Unfortunately, that crap keeps coming back and needs to be put down
  from time to time..."

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.
