Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
"Main MIPS changes:
- boot_mem_map is removed, providing a nice cleanup made possible by
the recent removal of bootmem.
- Some fixes to atomics, in general providing compiler barriers for
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic plus fixes specific to Loongson CPUs
or MIPS32 systems using cmpxchg64().
- Conversion to the new generic VDSO infrastructure courtesy of
Vincenzo Frascino.
- Removal of undefined behavior in set_io_port_base(), fixing the
behavior of some MIPS kernel configurations when built with recent
clang versions.
- Initial MIPS32 huge page support, functional on at least Ingenic
SoCs.
- pte_special() is now supported for some configurations, allowing
among other things generic fast GUP to be used.
- Miscellaneous fixes & cleanups.
And platform specific changes:
- Major improvements to Ingenic SoC support from Paul Cercueil,
mostly enabled by the inclusion of the new TCU (timer-counter unit)
drivers he's spent a very patient year or so working on. Plus some
fixes for X1000 SoCs from Zhou Yanjie.
- Netgear R6200 v1 systems are now supported by the bcm47xx platform.
- DT updates for BMIPS, Lantiq & Microsemi Ocelot systems"

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.
