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.

Pull ARM new SoC family support from Arnd Bergmann:
"Two new SoC families are added this time.
Sugaya Taichi submitted support for the Milbeaut SoC family from
Socionext and explains:
"SC2000 is a SoC of the Milbeaut series. equipped with a DSP
optimized for computer vision. It also features advanced
functionalities such as 360-degree, real-time spherical stitching
with multi cameras, image stabilization for without mechanical
gimbals, and rolling shutter correction. More detail is below:
https://www.socionext.com/en/products/assp/milbeaut/SC2000.html"
Interestingly, this one has a history dating back to older chips made
by Socionext and previously Matsushita/Panasonic based on their own
mn10300 CPU architecture that was removed from the kernel last year.
Manivannan Sadhasivam adds support for another SoC family, this is the
Bitmain BM1880 chip used in the Sophon Edge TPU developer board.
The chip is intended for Deep Learning applications, and comes with
dual-core Arm Cortex-A53 to run Linux as well as a RISC-V
microcontroller core to control the tensor unit. For the moment, the
TPU is not accessible in mainline Linux, so we treat it as a generic
Arm SoC.
