David Howells f5b5a164f9 Add sample notification program
The sample program is run like:

	./samples/watch_queue/watch_test

and watches "/" for mount changes and the current session keyring for key
changes:

	# keyctl add user a a @s
	1035096409
	# keyctl unlink 1035096409 @s

producing:

	# ./watch_test
	read() = 16
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
	KEY 2ffc2e5d change=2[linked] aux=1035096409
	read() = 16
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
	KEY 2ffc2e5d change=3[unlinked] aux=1035096409

Other events may be produced, such as with a failing disk:

	read() = 22
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000003 sy=02 i=00000416
	USB 3-7.7 dev-reset e=0 r=0
	read() = 24
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000002 sy=06 i=00000418
	BLOCK 00800050 e=6[critical medium] s=64000ef8

This corresponds to:

	blk_update_request: critical medium error, dev sdf, sector 1677725432 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0

in dmesg.

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.
