Linus Torvalds 7ae77150d9 powerpc updates for 5.8
- Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
    accelerator on Power9.
 
  - Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to make it
    safe against parallel page table manipulations without relying on an IPI for
    serialisation.
 
  - A series of fixes & enhancements to make our machine check handling more
    robust.
 
  - Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions on
    Power10.
 
  - Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).
 
  - Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound driver.
 
  - Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.
 
  - Initial support for booting on Power10.
 
  - Lots of other small features, cleanups & fixes.

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.
