Linus Torvalds 0be2886307 ARM updates for 5.1-rc1
- An improvement from Ard Biesheuvel, who noted that the identity map
   setup was taking a long time due to flush_cache_louis().
 - Update a comment about dma_ops from Wolfram Sang.
 - Remove use of "-p" with ld, where this flag has been a no-op since
   2004.
 - Remove the printing of the virtual memory layout, which is no longer
   useful since we hide pointers.
 - Correct SCU help text.
 - Remove legacy TWD registration method.
 - Add pgprot_device() implementation for mapping PCI sysfs resource
   files.
 - Initialise PFN limits earlier for kmemleak.
 - Fix argument count to match macro definition (affects clang builds)
 - Use unified assembler language almost everywhere for clang, and
   other clang improvements (from Stefan Agner, Nathan Chancellor).
 - Support security extension for noMMU and other noMMU cleanups
   (from Vladimir Murzin).
 - Remove unnecessary SMP bringup code (which was incorrectly copy'n'
   pasted from the ARM platform implementations) and remove it from
   the arch code to discourge further copys of it appearing.
 - Add Cortex A9 erratum preventing kexec working on some SoCs.
 - AMBA bus identification updates from Mike Leach.
 - More use of raw spinlocks to avoid -RT kernel issues
   (from Yang Shi and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).
 - MCPM hyp/svc mode mismatch fixes from Marek Szyprowski.

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.
