Linus Torvalds cbd7b8a76b platform-drivers-x86 for v4.16-1
New model support added for Dell, Ideapad, Acer, Asus, Thinkpad, and GPD
 laptops.  Improvements to the common intel-vbtn driver, including tablet
 mode, rotate, and front button support. Intel CPU support added for
 Cannonlake and platform support for Dollar Cove power button.
 
 Overhaul of the mellanox platform driver, creating a new
 platform/mellanox directory for the newly multi-architecture regmap
 interface.
 
 Significant Intel PMC update with CannonLake support, Coffeelake update,
 CPUID enumeration, module support, new read64 API, refactoring and
 cleanups.
 
 Revert the apple-gmux iGP IO lock, addressing reported issues with
 non-binary drivers, leaving Nvidia binary driver users to comment out
 conflicting code.
 
 Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups.

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.
