Notable changes:
- Enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK to move thread_info off the stack.
- A big series from Christoph reworking our DMA code to use more of the generic
infrastructure, as he said:
"This series switches the powerpc port to use the generic swiotlb and
noncoherent dma ops, and to use more generic code for the coherent direct
mapping, as well as removing a lot of dead code."
- Increase our vmalloc space to 512T with the Hash MMU on modern CPUs, allowing
us to support machines with larger amounts of total RAM or distance between
nodes.
- Two series from Christophe, one to optimise TLB miss handlers on 6xx, and
another to optimise the way STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is implemented on some 32-bit
CPUs.
- Support for KCOV coverage instrumentation which means we can run syzkaller
and discover even more bugs in our code.
And as always many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

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.
