Linus Torvalds f5ebe7bb87 LICENSES update for 6.16-rc1
Here is a single patch to the LICENSES/ directory to add the CC0 license
 that is currently used in the kcpuid x86 tool for one of their files.
 This fixes the error that spdxcheck.py currently has with the kcpuid
 file due to a missing LICENSE file for this specific license.
 
 This change has been in linux-next for weeks with no reported issues.

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.
