Linus Torvalds aad26f55f4 This was a moderately busy cycle for documentation, but nothing all that
earth-shaking:
 
 - More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian translations.
   The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations are
   more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.
 
 - Some build-system performance improvements.
 
 - The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document, with the
   movement of what useful material that remained into other docs.
 
 - Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more useful
   suggestions.
 
 - A number of build-warning fixes
 
 Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, updates, and more.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
