Linus Torvalds 758f875848 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace update from Eric Biederman:
 "The only change that is production ready this round is the work to
  increase the number of uid and gid mappings a user namespace can
  support from 5 to 340.

  This code was carefully benchmarked and it was confirmed that in the
  existing cases the performance remains the same. In the worst case
  with 340 mappings an cache cold stat times go from 158ns to 248ns.
  That is noticable but still quite small, and only the people who are
  doing crazy things pay the cost.

  This work uncovered some documentation and cleanup opportunities in
  the mapping code, and patches to make those cleanups and improve the
  documentation will be coming in the next merge window"

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.
