Linus Torvalds cb7e3669c6 RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window (part one)
First set of RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window, including:
 
 - Replacement of __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in header files (other
   architectures have already merged this type of cleanup)
 
 - The introduction of ioremap_wc() for RISC-V
 
 - Cleanup of the RISC-V kprobes code to use mostly-extant macros rather than
   open code
 
 - A RISC-V kprobes unit test
 
 - An architecture-specific endianness swap macro set implementation,
   leveraging some dedicated RISC-V instructions for this purpose if they
   are available
 
 - The ability to identity and communicate to userspace the presence of a
   MIPS P8700-specific ISA extension, and to leverage its MIPS-specific PAUSE
   implementation in cpu_relax()
 
 - Several other miscellaneous cleanups

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.
