Pull kgdb updates from Daniel Thompson:
"Nine patches this cycle and they split into just three topics:
- Adopt coccinelle's recommendation to adopt str_plural()
- A set of seven patches to refactor kdb_read() to improve both code
clarity and its discipline with respect to fixed size buffers.
This isn't just a refactor. Between them these also fix a cursor
movement redraw problem and two buffer overflows (one latent and
one real, albeit difficult to tickle).
- Fix an NMI-safety problem when enqueuing kdb's keyboard reset code
I wrote eight of the nine patches in this collection so many thanks to
Doug Anderson for the reviews. The changes that affects
drivers/tty/serial is acked by Greg KH"

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.
