Linus Torvalds 58d40f5f81 asm-generic fixes for 6.11, part 2
There are two more changes to the syscall.tbl conversion: the
 '__NR_newfstat' in the previous bugfix was a mistake and gets reverted
 now, after triple-checking that the contents are now back to what they
 were on all architectures. The __NR_nfsservctl definition is not really
 needed but came up in the same discussion as it had previously been
 defined in uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h and tested for in user space.
 
 TThere are a few more symbols that used to be defined in the old
 unistd.h file, but that are never defined on any other architecture
 using syscall.tbl format. These used to be needed inside of the kernel:
 
    __NR_syscalls
    __NR_arch_specific_syscall
    __NR3264_*
 
 Searching for these on https://codesearch.debian.net/ shows a few packages
 (rustc, golang, clamav, libseccomp, librsvg, strace) that duplicate all
 the macros from asm/unistd.h, but nothing that actually uses the macros,
 so I concluded that they are fine to omit after all.

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.
