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 reStructuredText 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 sysfs fix from Al Viro: "Get rid of lockdep false positives around sysfs/overlayfs syzbot has uncovered a class of lockdep false positives for setups with sysfs being one of the backing layers in overlayfs. The root cause is that of->mutex allocated when opening a sysfs file read-only (which overlayfs might do) is confused with of->mutex of a file opened writable (held in write to sysfs file, which overlayfs won't do). Assigning them separate lockdep classes fixes that bunch and it's obviously safe" * tag 'pull-sysfs-annotation-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: kernfs: annotate different lockdep class for of->mutex of writable files
