Linus Torvalds d90696ed61 powerpc fixes for 4.15 #4
One notable fix for kexec on Power9, where we were not clearing MMU PID properly
 which sometimes leads to hangs. Finally debugged to a root cause by Nick.
 
 A revert of a patch which tried to rework our panic handling to get more output
 on the console, but inadvertently broke reporting the panic to the hypervisor,
 which apparently people care about.
 
 Then a fix for an oops in the PMU code, and finally some s/%p/%px/ in xmon.
 
 Thanks to:
   David Gibson, Nicholas Piggin, Ravi Bangoria.

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.
