Linus Torvalds d451b075f7 linux_kselftest-next-6.9-rc1
This kselftest next update for Linux 6.9-rc1 consists of:
 
 -- livepatch restructuring to move the module out of lib to be
    built as a out-of-tree modules during kselftest build. This
    change makes it easier change, debug and rebuild the tests by
    running make on the selftests/livepatch directory, which is not
    currently possible since the modules on lib/livepatch are build
    and installed using the main makefile modules target.
 
 -- livepatch restructuring fixes for problems found by kernel test
    robot. The change skips the test if kernel-devel isn't installed
    (default value of KDIR), or if KDIR variable passed doesn't exists.
 
 -- resctrl test restructuring and new non-contiguous CBMs CAT test
 
 -- new ktap_helpers to print diagnostic messages, pass/fail tests
    based on exit code, abort test, and finish the test.
 
 -- a new test verify power supply properties.
 
 -- a new ftrace to exercise function tracer across cpu hotplug.
 
 -- timeout increase for mqueue test to allow the test to run on
    i3.metal AWS instances.
 
 -- minor spelling corrections in several tests.
 
 -- missing gitignore files and changes to existing gitignore files.

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.
