mainlining shenanigans
Go to file
Linus Torvalds c5951e7c8e The main MIPS changes for 5.6:
- Support mremap() for the VDSO, primarily to allow CRIU to restore the
   VDSO to its checkpointed location.
 
 - Restore the MIPS32 cBPF JIT, after having reverted the enablement of
   the eBPF JIT for MIPS32 systems in the 5.5 cycle.
 
 - Improve cop0 counter synchronization behaviour whilst onlining CPUs by
   running with interrupts disabled.
 
 - Better match FPU behaviour when emulating multiply-accumulate
   instructions on pre-r6 systems that implement IEEE754-2008 style MACs.
 
 - Loongson64 kernels now build using the MIPS64r2 ISA, allowing them to
   take advantage of instructions introduced by r2.
 
 - Support for the Ingenic X1000 SoC & the really nice little CU Neo
   development board that's using it.
 
 - Support for WMAC on GARDENA Smart Gateway devices.
 
 - Lots of cleanup & refactoring of SGI IP27 (Origin 2*) support in
   preparation for introducing IP35 (Origin 3*) support.
 
 - Various Kconfig & Makefile cleanups.

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.
