Small Things:
- Move OpenRISC docs into Documentation and clean them up
- Document previously undocumented devicetree bindings
- Update the or1ksim dts to use stdout-path
OpenRISC SMP support details:
- First the "use shadow registers" and "define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN as true"
get the architecture ready for SMP.
- The "add 1 and 2 byte cmpxchg support" and "use qspinlocks and
qrwlocks" add the SMP locking infrastructure as needed. Using the
qspinlocks and qrwlocks as suggested by Peter Z while reviewing the
original spinlocks implementation.
- The "support for ompic" adds a new irqchip device which is used for
IPI communication to support SMP.
- The "initial SMP support" adds smp.c and makes changes to all of the
necessary data-structures to be per-cpu.
- The remaining patches are bug fixes and debug helpers which I wanted
to keep separate from the "initial SMP support" in order to allow them
to be reviewed on their own. This includes:
- add cacheflush support to fix icache aliasing
- fix initial preempt state for secondary cpu tasks
- sleep instead of spin on secondary wait
- support framepointers and STACKTRACE_SUPPORT
- enable LOCKDEP_SUPPORT and irqflags tracing
- timer sync: Add tick timer sync logic
- fix possible deadlock in timer sync, pointed out by mips guys
Note: the irqchip patch was reviewed with Marc and we agreed to push it
together with these patches.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
