Linus Torvalds 6a4d4b3253 RISC-V Updates for the 4.18 Merge Window
This tag contains some small RISC-V updates I'd like to target for 4.18.
 They are all fairly small this time.  Here's a short summary, there's
 more info in the commits/merges.
 
 * A fix to __clear_user to respect the passed arguments.
 * Enough support for the perf subsystem to work with RISC-V's ISA
   defined performance counters.
 * Support for sparse and cleanups suggested by it.
 * Support for R_RISCV_32 (a relocation, not the 32-bit ISA).
 * Some MAINTAINERS cleanups.
 * The addition of CONFIG_HVC_RISCV_SBI to our defconfig, as it's always
   present.
 
 I've given these a simple build+boot test.

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.
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.
