Linus Torvalds 81a84ad3cb Merge branch 'docs-next' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "After a fair amount of churn in the last couple of cycles, docs are
  taking it easier this time around. Lots of fixes and some new
  documentation, but nothing all that radical. Perhaps the most
  interesting change for many is the scripts/sphinx-pre-install tool
  from Mauro; it will tell you exactly which packages you need to
  install to get a working docs toolchain on your system.

  There are two little patches reaching outside of Documentation/; both
  just tweak kerneldoc comments to eliminate warnings and fix some
  dangling doc pointers"

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.
