Linus Torvalds cc10ad25bb Here are the main MIPS updates for 4.20:
- kexec support for the generic MIPS platform when running on a CPU
     including the MIPS Coherence Manager & related hardware.
 
   - Improvements to the definition of memory barriers used around MMIO
     accesses, and fixes in their use.
 
   - Switch to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM from Mike Rapoport, finally dropping
     reliance on the old bootmem code.
 
   - A number of fixes & improvements for Loongson 3 systems.
 
   - DT & config updates for the Microsemi Ocelot platform.
 
   - Workaround to enable USB power on the Netgear WNDR3400v3.
 
   - Various cleanups & fixes.

README

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.
