Add UAPI definitions for the general notification queue, including the
following pieces:
(*) struct watch_notification.
This is the metadata header for notification messages. It includes a
type and subtype that indicate the source of the message
(eg. WATCH_TYPE_MOUNT_NOTIFY) and the kind of the message
(eg. NOTIFY_MOUNT_NEW_MOUNT).
The header also contains an information field that conveys the
following information:
- WATCH_INFO_LENGTH. The size of the entry (entries are variable
length).
- WATCH_INFO_ID. The watch ID specified when the watchpoint was
set.
- WATCH_INFO_TYPE_INFO. (Sub)type-specific information.
- WATCH_INFO_FLAG_*. Flag bits overlain on the type-specific
information. For use by the type.
All the information in the header can be used in filtering messages at
the point of writing into the buffer.
(*) struct watch_notification_removal
This is an extended watch-removal notification record that includes an
'id' field that can indicate the identifier of the object being
removed if available (for instance, a keyring serial number).

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.
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.
