Linus Torvalds 92fab77b6b Main MIPS changes for v5.2:
- A set of memblock initialization improvements thanks to Serge Semin,
   tidying up after our conversion from bootmem to memblock back in
   v4.20.
 
 - Our eBPF JIT the previously supported only MIPS64r2 through MIPS64r5
   is improved to also support MIPS64r6. Support for MIPS32 systems is
   introduced, with the caveat that it only works for programs that don't
   use 64 bit registers or operations - those will bail out & need to be
   interpreted.
 
 - Improvements to the allocation & configuration of our exception vector
   that should fix issues seen on some platforms using recent versions of
   U-Boot.
 
 - Some minor improvements to code generated for jump labels, along with
   enabling them by default for generic kernels.

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.
