The alternative coding patch for parisc in kernel 4.20 broke booting
machines with PA8500-PA8700 CPUs. The problem is, that for such machines
the parisc kernel automatically utilizes huge pages to access kernel
text code, but the set_kernel_text_rw() function, which is used shortly
before applying any alternative patches, didn't used the correctly
hugepage-aligned addresses to remap the kernel text read-writeable.

============
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.
