Linus Torvalds bf5f89463f Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:

 - the rest of MM

 - various misc things

 - procfs updates

 - lib/ updates

 - checkpatch updates

 - kdump/kexec updates

 - add kvmalloc helpers, use them

 - time helper updates for Y2038 issues. We're almost ready to remove
   current_fs_time() but that awaits a btrfs merge.

 - add tracepoints to DAX

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.
