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.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: - Improve the efficiency and performance of reading nvdimm-namespace labels. Reduce the amount of label data read at driver load time by a few orders of magnitude. Reduce heavyweight call-outs to platform-firmware routines. - Handle media errors located in the 'struct page' array stored on a persistent memory namespace. Let the kernel clear these errors rather than an awkward userspace workaround. - Fix Address Range Scrub (ARS) completion tracking. Correct occasions where the kernel indicates completion of ARS before submission. - Fix asynchronous device registration reference counting. - Add support for reporting an nvdimm dirty-shutdown-count via sysfs. - Fix various small libnvdimm core and uapi issues. * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (21 commits) acpi, nfit: Further restrict userspace ARS start requests acpi, nfit: Fix Address Range Scrub completion tracking UAPI: ndctl: Remove use of PAGE_SIZE UAPI: ndctl: Fix g++-unsupported initialisation in headers tools/testing/nvdimm: Populate dirty shutdown data acpi, nfit: Collect shutdown status acpi, nfit: Introduce nfit_mem flags libnvdimm, label: Fix sparse warning nvdimm: Use namespace index data to reduce number of label reads needed nvdimm: Split label init out from the logic for getting config data nvdimm: Remove empty if statement nvdimm: Clarify comment in sizeof_namespace_index nvdimm: Sanity check labeloff libnvdimm, dimm: Maximize label transfer size libnvdimm, pmem: Fix badblocks population for 'raw' namespaces libnvdimm, namespace: Drop the repeat assignment for variable dev->parent libnvdimm, region: Fail badblocks listing for inactive regions libnvdimm, pfn: during init, clear errors in the metadata area libnvdimm: Set device node in nd_device_register libnvdimm: Hold reference on parent while scheduling async init ...
