Linus Torvalds 9f25a8da42 Merge branch 'for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - For cpustat, cgroup has a percpu hierarchical stat mechanism which
   propagates up the hierarchy lazily.

   This contains commits to factor out and generalize the mechanism so
   that it can be used for other cgroup stats too.

   The original intention was to update memcg stats to use it but memcg
   went for a different approach, so still the only user is cpustat. The
   factoring out and generalization still make sense and it's likely
   that this can be used for other purposes in the future.

 - cgroup uses kernfs_notify() (which uses fsnotify()) to inform user
   space of certain events. A rate limiting mechanism is added.

 - Other misc changes.

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.
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.
