Linus Torvalds 70cb0d02b5 Added new ext4 debugging ioctls to allow userspace to get information
about the state of the extent status cache.
 
 Dropped workaround for pre-1970 dates which were encoded incorrectly
 in pre-4.4 kernels.  Since both the kernel correctly generates, and
 e2fsck detects and fixes this issue for the past four years, it'e time
 to drop the workaround.  (Also, it's not like files with dates in the
 distant past were all that common in the first place.)
 
 A lot of miscellaneous bug fixes and cleanups, including some ext4
 Documentation fixes.  Also included are two minor bug fixes in
 fs/unicode.

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 Restructured Text 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.
