Linus Torvalds 58ff3b7604 The EFI changes for this cycle are:
- preliminary changes for RISC-V
  - Add support for setting the resolution on the EFI framebuffer
  - Simplify kernel image loading for arm64
  - Move .bss into .data via the linker script instead of relying on symbol
    annotations.
  - Get rid of __pure getters to access global variables
  - Clean up the config table matching arrays
  - Rename pr_efi/pr_efi_err to efi_info/efi_err, and use them consistently
  - Simplify and unify initrd loading
  - Parse the builtin command line on x86 (if provided)
  - Implement printk() support, including support for wide character strings
  - Simplify GDT handling in early mixed mode thunking code
  - Some other minor fixes and cleanups

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.
