Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - shadow variables support, allowing livepatches to associate new
   "shadow" fields to existing data structures, from Joe Lawrence

 - pre/post patch callbacks API, allowing livepatch writers to register
   callbacks to be called before and after patch application, from Joe
   Lawrence

* 'for-linus' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching:
  livepatch: __klp_disable_patch() should never be called for disabled patches
  livepatch: Correctly call klp_post_unpatch_callback() in error paths
  livepatch: add transition notices
  livepatch: move transition "complete" notice into klp_complete_transition()
  livepatch: add (un)patch callbacks
  livepatch: Small shadow variable documentation fixes
  livepatch: __klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() is local to shadow.c
  livepatch: introduce shadow variable API

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.
