Linus Torvalds 7fdfbe08a2 RISC-V Fixes for 5.8-rc2
This contains three fixes that I'd like to target for rc2:
 
 * A workaround for a compiler surprise related to the "r" inline assembly that
   allows LLVM to boot.
 * A fix to avoid WX-only mappings, which the ISA does not allow.  While this
   probably manifests in many ways, the bug was found in stress-ng.
 * A missing lock in set_direct_map_*(), which due to a recent lockdep change
   started asserting.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - a workaround for a compiler surprise related to the "r" inline
   assembly that allows LLVM to boot.

 - a fix to avoid WX-only mappings, which the ISA does not allow. While
   this probably manifests in many ways, the bug was found in stress-ng.

 - a missing lock in set_direct_map_*(), which due to a recent lockdep
   change started asserting.

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.
