Linus Torvalds f57091767a Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cache quality monitoring update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides a complete rewrite of the Cache Quality
  Monitoring (CQM) facility.

  The existing CQM support was duct taped into perf with a lot of issues
  and the attempts to fix those turned out to be incomplete and
  horrible.

  After lengthy discussions it was decided to integrate the CQM support
  into the Resource Director Technology (RDT) facility, which is the
  obvious choise as in hardware CQM is part of RDT. This allowed to add
  Memory Bandwidth Monitoring support on top.

  As a result the mechanisms for allocating cache/memory bandwidth and
  the corresponding monitoring mechanisms are integrated into a single
  management facility with a consistent user interface"

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.
