Linus Torvalds 415be6c256 Various bug fixes:
- Two small memory leaks in error paths.
 
  - A missed return error code on an error path.
 
  - A fix to check the tracing ring buffer CPU when it doesn't
    exist (caused by setting maxcpus on the command line that is less
    than the actual number of CPUs, and then onlining them manually).
 
  - A fix to have the reset of boot tracers called by lateinit_sync()
    instead of just lateinit(). As some of the tracers register via
    lateinit(), and if the clear happens before the tracer is registered,
    it will never start even though it was told to via the kernel command
    line.

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.
