Linus Torvalds 2f4c533499 SPDX update for 5.2-rc3, round 1
Here is another set of reviewed patches that adds SPDX tags to different
 kernel files, based on a set of rules that are being used to parse the
 comments to try to determine that the license of the file is
 "GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only".  Only the "obvious" versions of
 these matches are included here, a number of "non-obvious" variants of
 text have been found but those have been postponed for later review and
 analysis.
 
 There is also a patch in here to add the proper SPDX header to a bunch
 of Kbuild files that we have missed in the past due to new files being
 added and forgetting that Kbuild uses two different file names for
 Makefiles.  This issue was reported by the Kbuild maintainer.
 
 These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
 list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
 hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on the
 patches are reviewers.

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.
