Linus Torvalds 5f6e430f93 powerpc updates for 6.2
- Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system scalability and
    paravirt. See the merge message for more details.
 
  - Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations.
 
  - Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the writable mapping is
    restricted to the patching CPU.
 
  - Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2 ABI.
 
  - Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S.
 
  - Many other small features and fixes.

README

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.
