Linus Torvalds f3573b8f90 Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/openrisc/linux
Pull OpenRISC updates from Stafford Horne:
 "The OpenRISC work is a bit more interesting this time, adding SMP
  support and a few general cleanups.

  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"

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.
