Linus Torvalds f94c128eef metag: Changes for 4.12
These patches primarily make some usercopy improvements (following on
 from the recent usercopy fixes):
 - Reformat and simplify rapf copy loops
 - Add 64-bit get_user support
 
 And fix a couple more uaccess issues, partily pointed out by Al:
 - Fix access_ok() serious shortcomings
 - Fix strncpy_from_user() address validation
 
 Also included is a trivial removal of a redundant increment.

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.
