Linus Torvalds a57cb1c1d7 Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:

 - a few misc things

 - kexec updates

 - DMA-mapping updates to better support networking DMA operations

 - IPC updates

 - various MM changes to improve DAX fault handling

 - lots of radix-tree changes, mainly to the test suite. All leading up
   to reimplementing the IDA/IDR code to be a wrapper layer over the
   radix-tree. However the final trigger-pulling patch is held off for
   4.11.

  radix tree test suite: delete unused rcupdate.c
  radix tree test suite: add new tag check

  idr: reduce the number of bits per level from 8 to 6
  rxrpc: abstract away knowledge of IDR internals
  tpm: use idr_find(), not idr_find_slowpath()
  idr: add ida_is_empty
  radix tree test suite: check multiorder iteration
  radix-tree: fix replacement for multiorder entries
  radix-tree: add radix_tree_split_preload()

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.
