Linus Torvalds 5c6bd5de3c Main MIPS changes for v5.4:
- boot_mem_map is removed, providing a nice cleanup made possible by the
   recent removal of bootmem.
 
 - Some fixes to atomics, in general providing compiler barriers for
   smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic plus fixes specific to Loongson CPUs or
   MIPS32 systems using cmpxchg64().
 
 - Conversion to the new generic VDSO infrastructure courtesy of Vincenzo
   Frascino.
 
 - Removal of undefined behavior in set_io_port_base(), fixing the
   behavior of some MIPS kernel configurations when built with recent
   clang versions.
 
 - Initial MIPS32 huge page support, functional on at least Ingenic SoCs.
 
 - pte_special() is now supported for some configurations, allowing among
   other things generic fast GUP to be used.
 
 - Miscellaneous fixes & cleanups.
 
 And platform specific changes:
 
 - Major improvements to Ingenic SoC support from Paul Cercueil, mostly
   enabled by the inclusion of the new TCU (timer-counter unit) drivers
   he's spent a very patient year or so working on. Plus some fixes for
   X1000 SoCs from Zhou Yanjie.
 
 - Netgear R6200 v1 systems are now supported by the bcm47xx platform.
 
 - DT updates for BMIPS, Lantiq & Microsemi Ocelot systems.

.. The Linux Kernel documentation master file, created by

You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
contain the root `toctree` directive.

The Linux Kernel documentation
==============================
This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
you want to help out.
Licensing documentation
-----------------------
The following describes the license of the Linux kernel source code
(GPLv2), how to properly mark the license of individual files in the source
tree, as well as links to the full license text.
* :ref:`kernel_licensing`
User-oriented documentation
---------------------------
The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
trying to get it to work optimally on a given system.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
admin-guide/index
kbuild/index
Firmware-related documentation
------------------------------
The following holds information on the kernel's expectations regarding the
platform firmwares.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
firmware-guide/index
Application-developer documentation
-----------------------------------
The user-space API manual gathers together documents describing aspects of
the kernel interface as seen by application developers.
.. toctree::

Introduction to kernel development
----------------------------------
These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel.
The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers
contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community,
knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes
merged much easier.

Kernel API documentation
------------------------
These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work
from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here
is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added
as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is
needed).
