Linus Torvalds 44ccba3f7b - For the randstruct plugin, enable automatic randomization of structures
that are entirely function pointers (along with a couple designated
   initializer fixes).
 - For the structleak plugin, provide an option to perform zeroing
   initialization of all otherwise uninitialized stack variables that are
   passed by reference (Ard Biesheuvel).

Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
 "This finishes the porting work on randstruct, and introduces a new
  option to structleak, both noted below:

   - For the randstruct plugin, enable automatic randomization of
     structures that are entirely function pointers (along with a couple
     designated initializer fixes).

   - For the structleak plugin, provide an option to perform zeroing
     initialization of all otherwise uninitialized stack variables that
     are passed by reference (Ard Biesheuvel)"

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.
