Linus Torvalds 7856a56541 Many singleton patches - please see the various changelogs for details.
Quite a lot of nilfs2 work this time around.
 
 Notable patch series in this pull request are:
 
 "mul_u64_u64_div_u64: new implementation" by Nicolas Pitre, with
 assistance from Uwe Kleine-König.  Reimplement mul_u64_u64_div_u64() to
 provide (much) more accurate results.  The current implementation was
 causing Uwe some issues in the PWM drivers.
 
 "xz: Updates to license, filters, and compression options" from Lasse
 Collin.  Miscellaneous maintenance and kinor feature work to the xz
 decompressor.
 
 "Fix some GDB command error and add some GDB commands" from Kuan-Ying Lee.
 Fixes and enhancements to the gdb scripts.
 
 "treewide: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros" from Jeff Johnson.
 Adds lots of MODULE_DESCRIPTIONs, thus fixing lots of warnings about this.
 
 "nilfs2: add support for some common ioctls" from Ryusuke Konishi.  Adds
 various commonly-available ioctls to nilfs2.
 
 "This series fixes a number of formatting issues in kernel doc comments"
 from Ryusuke Konishi does that.
 
 "nilfs2: prevent unexpected ENOENT propagation" from Ryusuke Konishi.  Fix
 issues where -ENOENT was being unintentionally and inappropriately
 returned to userspace.
 
 "nilfs2: assorted cleanups" from Huang Xiaojia.
 
 "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes" from Ryusuke
 Konishi fixes some issues which can occur on corrupted nilfs2 filesystems.
 
 "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and usability" from
 Luca Ceresoli does those things.

README

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.
