Linus Torvalds d3b5d35290 Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 mm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main x86 MM changes in this cycle were:

   - continued native kernel PCID support preparation patches to the TLB
     flushing code (Andy Lutomirski)

   - various fixes related to 32-bit compat syscall returning address
     over 4Gb in applications, launched from 64-bit binaries - motivated
     by C/R frameworks such as Virtuozzo. (Dmitry Safonov)

   - continued Intel 5-level paging enablement: in particular the
     conversion of x86 GUP to the generic GUP code. (Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - x86/mpx ABI corner case fixes/enhancements (Joerg Roedel)

   - ... plus misc updates, fixes and cleanups"

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.
