Linus Torvalds d772794637 Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main RCU changes in this cycle were:

   - Updates to use cond_resched() instead of cond_resched_rcu_qs()
     where feasible (currently everywhere except in kernel/rcu and in
     kernel/torture.c). Also a couple of fixes to avoid sending IPIs to
     offline CPUs.

   - Updates to simplify RCU's dyntick-idle handling.

   - Updates to remove almost all uses of smp_read_barrier_depends() and
     read_barrier_depends().

   - Torture-test updates.

   - Miscellaneous fixes"

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.
