Hi Linus,

Please pull the following Keselftest update for Linux 5.6-rc5.

This Kselftest update for Linux 5.6-rc5 consists of a cleanup patch to undo changes to global .gitignore that added selftests/lkdtm objects and add them to a local selftests/lkdtm/.gitignore.

Summary of Linus's comments on local vs. global gitignore scope:

- Keep local gitignore patterns in local files. - Put only global gitignore patterns in the top-level gitignore file.

Local scope keeps things much better separated. It also incidentally means that if a directory gets renamed, the gitignore file continues to work unless in the case of renaming the actual files themselves that are named in the gitignore.

Diff is attached.

I took the liberty to include summary of your comments on local vs global gitignore scope in the commit message.

thanks, -- Shuah
