Linus Torvalds ddaefe8947 Modules updates for v5.6
Summary of modules changes for the 5.6 merge window:
 
 - Add "MS" (SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRINGS) section flags to __ksymtab_strings to
   indicate to the linker that it can perform string deduplication (i.e.,
   duplicate strings are reduced to a single copy in the string table).
   This means any repeated namespace string would be merged to just one
   entry in __ksymtab_strings.
 
 - Various code cleanups and small fixes (fix small memleak in error path,
   improve moduleparam docs, silence rcu warnings, improve error logging)

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.
