Linus Torvalds 8a5f78d98c RISC-V Fixes for 5.9
I have two fixes this week:
 
 * A fix to actually reserve the device tree's memory.  Without this the device
   tree can be overwritten on systems that don't otherwise reserve it.  This
   issue should only manifest on !MMU systems.
 * A workaround for a BUG() that triggers when the memory that originally
   contained initdata is freed and later repurposed.  This triggers a BUG() on
   builds that with HARDENED_USERCOPY enabled.

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.
