Linus Torvalds c856863988 Merge branch 'misc.compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro:
 "This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat
  syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a
  bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field
  copyin/copyout killed off.

   - kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the
     copyin/copyout of compat structs. Not all compat syscalls are gone
     from it yet, but it's getting there.

   - ipc/compat_mq.c killed off completely.

   - block/compat_ioctl.c cleaned up; floppy compat ioctls moved to
     drivers/block/floppy.c where they belong. Yes, there are several
     drivers that implement some of the same ioctls. Some are m68k and
     one is 32bit-only pmac. drivers/block/floppy.c is the only one in
     that bunch that can be built on biarch"

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.
