Linus Torvalds f306b90c69 Updates for the SMP and CPU hotplug:
- Remove DEFINE_SMP_CALL_CACHE_FUNCTION() which is a left over of the
    original hotplug code and now causing trouble with the ARM64 cache
    topology setup due to the pointless SMP function call. It's not longer
    required as the hotplug callbacks are guaranteed to be invoked on the
    upcoming CPU.
 
  - Remove the deprecated and now unused CPU hotplug functions
 
  - Rewrite the CPU hotplug API documentation

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.
