Linus Torvalds 8815da98e0 Another not-too-busy cycle for documentation, including:
- Some build-system changes to detect the variable fonts installed by some
   distributions that can break the PDF build.
 
 - Various updates and additions to the Spanish, Chinese, Italian, and
   Japanese translations.
 
 - Update the stable-kernel rules to match modern practice
 
 ...and the usual array of corrections, updates, and typo fixes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
