Linus Torvalds 80a76c60e5 Updates for timekeeping and PTP core:
The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware
   clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation.
 
   That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which requires
   needless exports and exposing internals.
 
   This can be completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using
   them for describing the correlated clock source.
 
   This update adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which
   can be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless
   exports.
 
   This is separate from the timer core changes as it was provided to the
   PTP folks to build further changes on top.
 
   A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has not
   made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next round.

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.
