Linus Torvalds e5a489abcf powerpc fixes for 4.12 #3
The headline is a fix for FP/VMX register corruption when using transactional
 memory, and a new selftest to go with it.
 
 Then there's the virt_addr_valid() fix, currently HARDENDED_USERCOPY is tripping
 on that causing some machines to crash.
 
 A few other fairly minor fixes for long tail things, and a couple of fixes for
 code we just merged.
 
 Thanks to:
   Breno Leitao, Gautham R. Shenoy, Michael Neuling, Naveen N. Rao. Nicholas
   Piggin, Paul Mackerras.

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.
