Linus Torvalds fd1f847350 - The 2 patch series "zram: support algorithm-specific parameters" from
Sergey Senozhatsky adds infrastructure for passing algorithm-specific
   parameters into zram.  A single parameter `winbits' is implemented at
   this time.
 
 - The 5 patch series "memcg: nmi-safe kmem charging" from Shakeel Butt
   makes memcg charging nmi-safe, which is required by BFP, which can
   operate in NMI context.
 
 - The 5 patch series "Some random fixes and cleanup to shmem" from
   Kemeng Shi implements small fixes and cleanups in the shmem code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Skip mm selftests instead when kernel features are
   not present" from Zi Yan fixes some issues in the MM selftest code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: build-enable essential DAMON components
   by default" from SeongJae Park reworks DAMON Kconfig to make it easier
   to enable CONFIG_DAMON.
 
 - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: add statistics of numa balance task
   migration" from Libo Chen adds more info into sysfs and procfs files to
   improve visibility into the NUMA balancer's task migration activity.
 
 - The 4 patch series "selftests/mm: cow and gup_longterm cleanups" from
   Mark Brown provides various updates to some of the MM selftests to make
   them play better with the overall containing framework.

README

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.
