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.

Pull LKMM (Linux Kernel Memory Model) updates from Paul McKenney: "Documentation updates. Add read-modify-write sequences, which means that stronger primitives more consistently result in stronger ordering, while still remaining in the envelope of the hardware that supports Linux. Address, data, and control dependencies used to ignore data that was stored in temporaries. This update extends these dependency chains to include unmarked intra-thread stores and loads. Note that these unmarked stores and loads should not be concurrently accessed from multiple threads, and doing so will cause LKMM to flag such accesses as data races" * tag 'lkmm.2023.02.15a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: tools: memory-model: Make plain accesses carry dependencies Documentation: Fixed a typo in atomic_t.txt tools: memory-model: Add rmw-sequences to the LKMM locking/memory-barriers.txt: Improve documentation for writel() example
