+The Linux kernel user's and administrator's guide
+=================================================
+
+The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have been
+added to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order or
+organization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherent
+document! With luck things will improve quickly over time.
+
+General guides to kernel administration
+---------------------------------------
+
+This initial section contains overall information, including the README
+file describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters,
+etc.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ README
+ devices
+
+ features
+
+A big part of the kernel's administrative interface is the /proc and sysfs
+virtual filesystems; these documents describe how to interact with tem

+
+Tracking down and identifying problems
+--------------------------------------
+
+Here is a set of documents aimed at users who are trying to track down
+problems and bugs in particular.

+Core-kernel subsystems
+----------------------
+
+These documents describe core-kernel administration interfaces that are
+likely to be of interest on almost any system.

+ cgroup-v2
+ cgroup-v1/index
+ cpu-isolation
+ cpu-load
+ mm/index

+
+Support for non-native binary formats. Note that some of these
+documents are ... old ...

+
+Workload analysis
+-----------------
+
+This is the beginning of a section with information of interest to
+application developers and system integrators doing analysis of the
+Linux kernel for safety critical applications. Documents supporting
+analysis of kernel interactions with applications, and key kernel
+subsystems expectations will be found here.
