Mauro Carvalho Chehab ff14943ea0 .gitignore: ignore Python compiled bytecode
While the building system doesn't create any Python JIT bytecode,
if one manually runs kernel-doc.py or get_abi.py, Python will,
by default, create a bytecode and store it under scripts/lib/*.

This is normal, and not controlled by the Kernel itself. So,
add *.pyc as an extension to be ignored.

README

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.
