Linus Torvalds 5c6bd5de3c Main MIPS changes for v5.4:
- boot_mem_map is removed, providing a nice cleanup made possible by the
   recent removal of bootmem.
 
 - Some fixes to atomics, in general providing compiler barriers for
   smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic plus fixes specific to Loongson CPUs or
   MIPS32 systems using cmpxchg64().
 
 - Conversion to the new generic VDSO infrastructure courtesy of Vincenzo
   Frascino.
 
 - Removal of undefined behavior in set_io_port_base(), fixing the
   behavior of some MIPS kernel configurations when built with recent
   clang versions.
 
 - Initial MIPS32 huge page support, functional on at least Ingenic SoCs.
 
 - pte_special() is now supported for some configurations, allowing among
   other things generic fast GUP to be used.
 
 - Miscellaneous fixes & cleanups.
 
 And platform specific changes:
 
 - Major improvements to Ingenic SoC support from Paul Cercueil, mostly
   enabled by the inclusion of the new TCU (timer-counter unit) drivers
   he's spent a very patient year or so working on. Plus some fixes for
   X1000 SoCs from Zhou Yanjie.
 
 - Netgear R6200 v1 systems are now supported by the bcm47xx platform.
 
 - DT updates for BMIPS, Lantiq & Microsemi Ocelot systems.

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.
