Ingo Molnar 549a397652 tools include: Sync kernel ABI headers with tooling headers
Time for a sync with ABI/uapi headers with the upcoming v4.14 kernel.

None of the ABI changes require any source code level changes to our
existing in-kernel tooling code:

  - tools/arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h:

      New KVM_S390_VM_TOD_EXT ABI, not used by in-kernel tooling.

  - tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h:
    tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h:

      New PCID, SME and VGIF x86 CPU feature bits defined.

  - tools/include/asm-generic/hugetlb_encode.h:
    tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h:
    tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:

      Two new madvise() flags, plus a hugetlb system call mmap flags
      restructuring/extension changes.

  - tools/include/uapi/drm/drm.h:
    tools/include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h:

      New drm_syncobj_create flags definitions, new drm_syncobj_wait
      and drm_syncobj_array ABIs. DRM_I915_PERF_* calls and a new
      I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_FENCE_ARRAY ABI for the Intel driver.

  - tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:

      New bpf_sock fields (::mark and ::priority), new XDP_REDIRECT
      action, new kvm_ppc_smmu_info fields (::data_keys, instr_keys)

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.
