Linus Torvalds b2064617c7 driver core patches for 4.11-rc1
Here is the "small" driver core patches for 4.11-rc1.
 
 Not much here, some firmware documentation and self-test updates, a
 debugfs code formatting issue, and a new feature for call_usermodehelper
 to make it more robust on systems that want to lock it down in a more
 secure way.
 
 All of these have been linux-next for a while now with no reported
 issues.

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.
