Linus Torvalds 0f25f0e4ef the bulk of struct fd memory safety stuff
Making sure that struct fd instances are destroyed in the same
 scope where they'd been created, getting rid of reassignments
 and passing them by reference, converting to CLASS(fd{,_pos,_raw}).
 
 We are getting very close to having the memory safety of that stuff
 trivial to verify.

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.
