Linus Torvalds b286cedd47 powerpc updates for 4.11 part 2
Highlights include:
 
  - An update of the disassembly code used by xmon to the latest versions in
    binutils. We've received permission from all the authors of the relevant
    binutils changes to relicense their changes to the relevant files from GPLv3
    to GPLv2, for inclusion in Linux. Thanks to Peter Bergner for doing the leg
    work to get permission from everyone.
 
  - Addition of the "architected" Power9 CPU table entry, allowing us to boot
    in Power9 architected mode under a hypervisor.
 
  - Updates to the Power9 PMU code.
 
  - Implementation of clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte() to optimise
    unlock_page().
 
  - Freescale updates from Scott: "Highlights include 8xx breakpoints and perf,
    t1042rdb display support, and board updates."
 
 Thanks to:
   Al Viro, Andrew Donnellan, Aneesh Kumar K.V, Balbir Singh, Douglas Miller,
   Frédéric Weisbecker, Gavin Shan, Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Roth, Nathan
   Fontenot, Naveen N. Rao, Nicholas Piggin, Peter Bergner, Paul E. McKenney,
   Rashmica Gupta, Russell Currey, Sahil Mehta, Stewart Smith.

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.
