Linus Torvalds e2ae634014 RISC-V Patches for the 5.11 Merge Window, Part 1
We have a handful of new kernel features for 5.11:
 
 * Support for the contiguous memory allocator.
 * Support for IRQ Time Accounting
 * Support for stack tracing
 * Support for strict /dev/mem
 * Support for kernel section protection
 
 I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the
 timing, so this is all the new development I'm going to take for this
 cycle (even if some of it probably normally would have been OK).  There
 are, however, some fixes on the list that I will likely be sending along
 either later this week or early next week.
 
 There is one issue in here: one of my test configurations
 (PREEMPT{,_DEBUG}=y) fails to boot on QEMU 5.0.0 (from April) as of the
 .text.init alignment patch.  With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but
 given how many bugs get fixed all over the place and how unrelated those
 features seem my guess is that we're just running into something that's
 been lurking for a while and has already been fixed in the newer QEMU
 (though I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of these implicit
 assumptions we have in the boot flow).  If it was hardware I'd be
 strongly inclined to look more closely, but given that users can upgrade
 their simulators I'm less worried about it.
 
 There are two merge conflicts, both in build files.  They're both a bit
 clunky: arch/riscv/Kconfig is out of order (I have a script that's
 supposed to keep them in order, I'll fix it) and lib/Makefile is out of
 order (though GENERIC_LIB here doesn't mean quite what it does above).

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.
