Andrei Vagin ab9961756e procfs: add seq_put_hex_ll to speed up /proc/pid/maps
seq_put_hex_ll() prints a number in hexadecimal notation and works
faster than seq_printf().

== test.py
  num = 0
  with open("/proc/1/maps") as f:
          while num < 10000 :
                  data = f.read()
                  f.seek(0, 0)
                 num = num + 1

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
