Linus Torvalds f92e3da18b Merge branch 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Transparently fall back to other poweroff method(s) if EFI poweroff
     fails (and returns)

   - Use separate PE/COFF section headers for the RX and RW parts of the
     ARM stub loader so that the firmware can use strict mapping
     permissions

   - Add support for requesting the firmware to wipe RAM at warm reboot

   - Increase the size of the random seed obtained from UEFI so CRNG
     fast init can complete earlier

   - Update the EFI framebuffer address if it points to a BAR that gets
     moved by the PCI resource allocation code

   - Enable "reset attack mitigation" of TPM environments: this is
     enabled if the kernel is configured with
     CONFIG_RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION=y.

   - Clang related fixes

   - Misc cleanups, constification, refactoring, etc"

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.
