Linus Torvalds 6c51e67b64 Merge branch 'x86-syscall-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull syscall updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Improve the security of set_fs(): we now check the address limit on a
  number of key platforms (x86, arm, arm64) before returning to
  user-space - without adding overhead to the typical system call fast
  path"

* 'x86-syscall-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  arm64/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return
  arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return
  x86/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return

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.
