Pull tasklets API update from Kees Cook:
 "These are the infrastructure updates needed to support converting the
  tasklet API to something more modern (and hopefully for removal
  further down the road).

  There is a 300-patch series waiting in the wings to get set out to
  subsystem maintainers, but these changes need to be present in the
  kernel first. Since this has some treewide changes, I carried this
  series for -next instead of paining Thomas with it in -tip, but it's
  got his Ack.

  This is similar to the timer_struct modernization from a while back,
  but not nearly as messy (I hope). :)

   - Prepare for tasklet API modernization (Romain Perier, Allen Pais,
     Kees Cook)"

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.
