Casey Schaufler f28e783ff6 Smack: Use cap_capable in privilege check Use cap_capable() rather than capable() in the Smack privilege check as the former does not invoke other security module privilege check, while the later does. This becomes important when stacking. It may be a problem even with minor modules. Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>		2017-06-01 09:27:21 -07:00

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.
