- A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception vectors,
and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The
result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general.
- Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly
intertwined with #ifdefs over the years.
- Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should
hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the
workqueue code and other problems.
- MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and update the
status of others.
- Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix:

vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and
interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code
that is also faster in general.
- Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had

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.
