Linus Torvalds b69f9e17a5 powerpc fixes for 4.20 #2
Some things that I missed due to travel, or that came in late.
 
 Two fixes also going to stable:
 
  - A revert of a buggy change to the 8xx TLB miss handlers.
 
  - Our flushing of SPE (Signal Processing Engine) registers on fork was broken.
 
 Other changes:
 
  - A change to the KVM decrementer emulation to use proper APIs.
 
  - Some cleanups to the way we do code patching in the 8xx code.
 
  - Expose the maximum possible memory for the system in /proc/powerpc/lparcfg.
 
  - Merge some updates from Scott: "a couple device tree updates, and a fix for a
    missing prototype warning."
 
 A few other minor fixes and a handful of fixes for our selftests.
 
 Thanks to:
   Aravinda Prasad, Breno Leitao, Camelia Groza, Christophe Leroy, Felipe Rechia,
   Joel Stanley, Naveen N. Rao, Paul Mackerras, Scott Wood, Tyrel Datwyler.

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.
