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.

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"These are updates for platform specific code on 32-bit ARM machines,
essentially anything that can not (yet) be expressed using DT files.
Noteworthy changes include:
- Added support for the TI DRA71x family of SoCs in mach-omap2, this
is an new variant of the the DRA72x/DRA74x automotive infotainment
chips we already supported for a while.
- Added support for the ST STM32F746 SoC, the first Cortex-M7 based
microcontroller we support, related to the smaller STM32F4 family.
- Renesas adds support for r8a7743 and r8a7745 in mach-shmobile, see
http://elinux.org/RZ-G
- SMP is now supported on the OX820 platform
- A lot of code in mach-omap2 gets removed as a follow-up to removing
support for board files in the previous release
- Davinci has some new work to improve USB support
- For i.MX, the performance monitor now supports profiling the memory
controller using 'perf'"
