Linus Torvalds 4e67483a6f PPC:
* user-triggerable use-after-free in HPT resizing
 * stale TLB entries in the guest
 * trap-and-emulate (PR) KVM guests failing to start under pHyp
 
 x86:
 * Another "Spectre" fix.
 * async pagefault fix
 * Revert an old fix for x86 nested virtualization, which turned out
   to do more harm than good
 * Check shrinker registration return code, to avoid warnings from
   upcoming 4.16 -mm patches

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.
