Kernel prepatch 5.1-rc1

[Posted March 17, 2019 by corbet]

Linus has released 5.1-rc1 and closed the merge window for this development cycle. "A somewhat recent development is how the tools/testing/ updates have been quite noticeable lately. That's not new to the 5.1 merge window, it's been going on for a while, but it's maybe just worth a mention that we have more new selftest changes than we have architecture updates, for example. The documentation subdirectory is also quite noticeable."
