Linus Torvalds f3573b8f90 OpenRISC updates for v4.15
Small Things:
  - Move OpenRISC docs into Documentation and clean them up
  - Document previously undocumented devicetree bindings
  - Update the or1ksim dts to use stdout-path
 
 OpenRISC SMP support details:
  - First the "use shadow registers" and "define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN as true"
    get the architecture ready for SMP.
  - The "add 1 and 2 byte cmpxchg support" and "use qspinlocks and
    qrwlocks" add the SMP locking infrastructure as needed.  Using the
    qspinlocks and qrwlocks as suggested by Peter Z while reviewing the
    original spinlocks implementation.
  - The "support for ompic" adds a new irqchip device which is used for
    IPI communication to support SMP.
  - The "initial SMP support" adds smp.c and makes changes to all of the
    necessary data-structures to be per-cpu.
  - The remaining patches are bug fixes and debug helpers which I wanted
    to keep separate from the "initial SMP support" in order to allow them
    to be reviewed on their own. This includes:
     - add cacheflush support to fix icache aliasing
     - fix initial preempt state for secondary cpu tasks
     - sleep instead of spin on secondary wait
     - support framepointers and STACKTRACE_SUPPORT
     - enable LOCKDEP_SUPPORT and irqflags tracing
     - timer sync: Add tick timer sync logic
     - fix possible deadlock in timer sync, pointed out by mips guys
 
 Note: the irqchip patch was reviewed with Marc and we agreed to push it
 together with these patches.

Pull OpenRISC updates from Stafford Horne:
 "The OpenRISC work is a bit more interesting this time, adding SMP
  support and a few general cleanups.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
