Linus Torvalds babe393974 The number of commits for documentation is not huge this time around, but
there are some significant changes nonetheless:
 
 - Some more Spanish-language and Chinese translations.
 
 - The much-discussed documentation of the confidential-computing threat
   model.
 
 - Powerpc and RISCV documentation move under Documentation/arch - these
   complete this particular bit of documentation churn.
 
 - A large traditional-Chinese documentation update.
 
 - A new document on backporting and conflict resolution.
 
 - Some kernel-doc and Sphinx fixes.
 
 Plus the usual smattering of smaller updates and typo fixes.

README

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.
