Linus Torvalds 03f51d4efa powerpc updates for 4.16
Highlights:
 
  - Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9 when
    using the hash table MMU.
 
  - Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts as well
    as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement local_t for a ~4x
    speedup vs the current atomics-based implementation.
 
  - A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface
    (OpenCAPI)" devices.
 
  - Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe hotpluggable
    memory and devices.
 
  - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit VDSO.
 
  - Freescale updates from Scott:
      "Contains fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI erratum workaround, plus a
       minor cleanup patch."
 
 As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small fixes and
 cleanups as always.

README

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.
