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.

This reverts commit cc1582c2. This commit introduced a regression that broke rr-project, which uses sampling events to receive a signal on overflow (but does not care about the contents of the sample). These signals are critical to the correct operation of rr. There's been some back and forth about how to fix it - but to not keep applications in limbo queue up a revert.
