Linus Torvalds 3c06e6cbdb TTY fix for 4.12-rc4
Here is a single tty core fix for 4.12-rc4.  It reverts a patch that a
 lot of people reported as causing lockdep and other warnings.  Right
 after I reverted this in my tree, it seems like another "correct" fix
 might have shown up, but it's too late in the release cycle to be
 messing with tty core locking, so let's just revert this for now to go
 back how things always have been and try it again for 4.13.
 
 This has not been in linux-next as I only reverted it a few hours ago.

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.
