Sven Schnelle bc294838cc parisc: add support for TOC (transfer of control)
Almost all PA-RISC machines have either a button that
is labeled with 'TOC' or a BMC function to trigger a TOC.
TOC is a non-maskable interrupt that is sent to the processor.
This can be used for diagnostic purposes like obtaining a
stack trace/register dump or to enter KDB/KGDB.

As an example, on my c8000, TOC can be used with:

CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y

and the 'kgdboc=ttyS0,115200' appended to the command line.

Press ^[( on serial console, which will enter the BMC command line,
and enter 'TOC s':

root@(none):/# (
cli>TOC s
Sending TOC/INIT.

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.
