Linus Torvalds 892ad5acca Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Add CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y to allow the disabling of the 'full'
     (robustness checked) refcount_t implementation with slightly lower
     runtime overhead. (Kees Cook)

     The lighter weight variant is the default. The two variants use the
     same API. Having this variant was a precondition by some
     maintainers to merge refcount_t cleanups.

   - Add lockdep support for rtmutexes (Peter Zijlstra)

   - liblockdep fixes and improvements (Sasha Levin, Ben Hutchings)

   - ... misc fixes and improvements"

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.
