Linus Torvalds 2cb54ce9ee Merge branch 'modversions' (modversions fixes for powerpc from Ard)
Merge kcrctab entry fixes from Ard Biesheuvel:
 "This is a followup to [0] 'modversions: redefine kcrctab entries as
  relative CRC pointers', but since relative CRC pointers do not work in
  modules, and are actually only needed by powerpc with
  CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, I have made it a Kconfig selectable feature
  instead.

  First it introduces the MODULE_REL_CRCS Kconfig symbol, and adds the
  kbuild handling of it, i.e., modpost, genksyms and kallsyms.

  Then it switches all architectures to 32-bit CRC entries in kcrctab,
  where all architectures except powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y use
  absolute ELF symbol references as before"

* emailed patches from Ard Biesheuvel:
  module: unify absolute krctab definitions for 32-bit and 64-bit
  modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities
  kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs

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.
