Linus Torvalds cfeafd9466 Driver core / kernfs changes for 6.0-rc1
Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.0-rc1.
 
 "biggest" thing in here is some scalability improvements for kernfs for
 large systems.  Other than that, included in here are:
 	- arch topology and cache info changes that have been reviewed
 	  and discussed a lot.
 	- potential error path cleanup fixes
 	- deferred driver probe cleanups
 	- firmware loader cleanups and tweaks
 	- documentation updates
 	- other small things
 
 All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while with no
 reported problems.

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.
