Linus Torvalds 791a9a666d Kbuild UAPI header export updates for v4.12
Improvement of headers_install by Nicolas Dichtel.
 
 It has been long since the introduction of uapi directories,
 but the de-coupling of exported headers has not been completed.
 Headers listed in header-y are exported whether they exist in
 uapi directories or not.  His work fixes this inconsistency.
 
 All (and only) headers under uapi directories are now exported.
 The asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions, but this is a big
 step forward.

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.
