Linus Torvalds 3b54765cca Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge updates from Andrew Morton:

 - a few misc things

 - ocfs2 updates

 - the v9fs maintainers have been missing for a long time. I've taken
   over v9fs patch slinging.

 - most of MM

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.
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.
