Linus Torvalds b03c036e6f Urgent RISC-V fix for v5.3 
Last week, Palmer and I learned that there was an error in the RISC-V
 kernel image header format that could make it less compatible with the
 ARM64 kernel image header format.  I had missed this error during my
 original reviews of the patch.
 
 The kernel image header format is an interface that impacts
 bootloaders, QEMU, and other user tools.  Those packages must be
 updated to align with whatever is merged in the kernel.  We would like
 to avoid proliferating these image formats by keeping the RISC-V
 header as close as possible to the existing ARM64 header.  Since the
 arch/riscv patch that adds support for the image header was merged
 with our v5.3-rc1 pull request as commit 0f327f2aaa ("RISC-V: Add
 an Image header that boot loader can parse."), we think it wise to try
 to fix this error before v5.3 is released.
 
 The fix itself should be backwards-compatible with any project that
 has already merged support for premature versions of this interface.
 It primarily involves ensuring that the RISC-V image header has
 something useful in the same field as the ARM64 image header.

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 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.
