Linus Torvalds 6f51092301 Char/Misc driver fixes for 5.1-rc3
Here are some binder, habanalabs, and vboxguest driver fixes for
 5.1-rc3.
 
 The Binder fixes resolve some reported issues found by testing, first by
 the selinux developers, and then earlier today by syzbot.
 
 The habanalabs fixes are all minor, resolving a number of tiny things.
 
 The vboxguest patches are a bit larger.  They resolve the fact that
 virtual box decided to change their api in their latest release in a way
 that broke the existing kernel code, despite saying that they were never
 going to do that.  So this is a bit of a "new feature", but is good to
 get merged so that 5.1 will work with the latest release.  The changes
 are not large and of course virtual box "swears" they will not break
 this again, but no one is holding their breath here.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
