Linus Torvalds 0c1494015f Updates for the generic and architecture entry code:
- Move LoongArch and RISC-V ret_from_fork() implementations to C code so
     that syscall_exit_user_mode() can be inlined.
 
   - Split the RISC-V ret_from_fork() implementation into return to user and
     return to kernel, which gives a measurable performance improvement.
 
   - Inline syscall_exit_user_mode() which benefits all architectures by
     avoiding a function call and letting the compiler do better
     optimizations.

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 reStructuredText 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.
