Pull pstore updates from Kees Cook:
 "Fixes and new features for pstore.

  This is a pretty big set of changes (relative to past pstore pulls),
  but it has been in -next for a while. The biggest change here is the
  ability to support a block device as a pstore backend, which has been
  desired for a while. A lot of additional fixes and refactorings are
  also included, mostly in support of the new features.

   - refactor pstore locking for safer module unloading (Kees Cook)

   - remove orphaned records from pstorefs when backend unloaded (Kees
     Cook)

   - refactor dump_oops parameter into max_reason (Pavel Tatashin)

   - introduce pstore/zone for common code for contiguous storage
     (WeiXiong Liao)

   - introduce pstore/blk for block device backend (WeiXiong Liao)

   - introduce mtd backend (WeiXiong Liao)"

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.
