Linus Torvalds 81e3e04489 UUID/GUID updates:
- introduce the new uuid_t/guid_t types that are going to replace
    the somewhat confusing uuid_be/uuid_le types and make the terminology
    fit the various specs, as well as the userspace libuuid library.
    (me, based on a previous version from Amir)
  - consolidated generic uuid/guid helper functions lifted from XFS
    and libnvdimm (Amir and me)
  - conversions to the new types and helpers (Amir, Andy and me)

Merge tag 'uuid-for-4.13' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/uuid

Pull uuid subsystem from Christoph Hellwig:
 "This is the new uuid subsystem, in which Amir, Andy and I have started
  consolidating our uuid/guid helpers and improving the types used for
  them. Note that various other subsystems have pulled in this tree, so
  I'd like it to go in early.

  UUID/GUID summary:

   - introduce the new uuid_t/guid_t types that are going to replace the
     somewhat confusing uuid_be/uuid_le types and make the terminology
     fit the various specs, as well as the userspace libuuid library.
     (me, based on a previous version from Amir)

   - consolidated generic uuid/guid helper functions lifted from XFS and
     libnvdimm (Amir and me)

   - conversions to the new types and helpers (Amir, Andy and me)"

README

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.
