Vlastimil Babka dc19745ad0 Merge branch 'slub-tiny-v1r6' into slab/for-next
Merge my series [1] to deprecate the SLOB allocator.
- Renames CONFIG_SLOB to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with deprecation notice.
- The recommended replacement is CONFIG_SLUB, optionally with the new
  CONFIG_SLUB_TINY tweaks for systems with 16MB or less RAM.
- Use cases that stopped working with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY instead of SLOB
  should be reported to linux-mm@kvack.org and slab maintainers,
  otherwise SLOB will be removed in few cycles.

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.
