Pull uninitialized_var() macro removal from Kees Cook:
 "This is long overdue, and has hidden too many bugs over the years. The
  series has several "by hand" fixes, and then a trivial treewide
  replacement.

   - Clean up non-trivial uses of uninitialized_var()

   - Update documentation and checkpatch for uninitialized_var() removal

   - Treewide removal of uninitialized_var()"

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.
