This tag contains the fixes we'd like to target for the 4.16 merge
window. It's not as much as I was originally hoping to do but between
glibc, the chip, and FOSDEM there just wasn't enough time to get
everything put together. As such, this merge window is essentially just
going to be small changes. This includes mostly cleanups:
* A build fix failure to the audit test cases. RISC-V doesn't have
renameat because the generic syscall ABI moved to renameat2 by the
time of our port. The syscall audit test cases don't understand this,
so I added a trivial fix. This went through mailing list review
during the 4.15 merge window, but nobody has picked it up so I think
it's best to just do this here.
* The removal of our command-line argument processing code. The
"mem_end" stuff was broken and the rest duplicated generic device tree
code. The generic code was already being called.
* Some unused/redundant code has been removed, including
__ARCH_HAVE_MMU, current_pgdir, and the initialization of init_mm.pgd.
* SUM is disabled upon taking a trap, which means that user memory is
protected during traps taking inside copy_{to,from}_user().
* The sptbr CSR has been renamed to satp in C code. We haven't changed
the assembly code in order to maintain compatibility with binutils
2.29, which doesn't understand the new name.
Additionally, we're adding some new features:
* Basic ftrace support, thanks to Alan Kao!
* Support for ZONE_DMA32. This is necessary for all the normal reasons,
but also to deal with a deficiency in the Xilinx PCIe controller we're
using on our FPGA-based systems. While the ZONE_DMA32 addition should
be sufficient for most uses, it doesn't complete the fix for the
Xilinx controller.
* TLB shootdowns now only target the harts where they're necessary,
instead of applying to all harts in the system.
These patches have all been sitting on our linux-next branch for a while
now. Due to time constraints this is all I feel comfortable submitting
during the 4.16 merge window, hopefully we'll do better next time!

to look that up. - Linus ]
