Linus Torvalds 346658a5e1 It has been a moderately busy cycle for documentation; some of the
highlights are:
 
 - Numerous PDF-generation improvements
 
 - Kees's new document with guidelines for researchers studying the
   development community.
 
 - The ongoing stream of Chinese translations
 
 - Thorsten's new document on regression handling
 
 - A major reworking of the internal documentation for the kernel-doc
   script.
 
 Plus the usual stream of typo fixes and such.

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.
