Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
"This contains what I hope are the last RISC-V changes to go into 4.15.
I know it's a bit last minute, but I think they're all fairly small
changes:
- SR_* constants have been renamed to match the latest ISA
specification.
- Some CONFIG_MMU #ifdef cruft has been removed. We've never
supported !CONFIG_MMU.
- __NR_riscv_flush_icache is now visible to userspace. We were hoping
to avoid making this public in order to force userspace to call the
vDSO entry, but it looks like QEMU's user-mode emulation doesn't
want to emulate a vDSO. In order to allow glibc to fall back to a
system call when the vDSO entry doesn't exist we're just
- Our defconfig is no long empty. This is another one that just
slipped through the cracks. The defconfig isn't perfect, but it's
at least close to what users will want for the first RISC-V
development board. Getting closer is kind of splitting hairs here:
none of the RISC-V specific drivers are in yet, so it's not like
things will boot out of the box.
The only one that's strictly necessary is the __NR_riscv_flush_icache
change, as I want that to be part of the public API starting from our
first kernel so nobody has to worry about it. The others are nice to
haves, but they seem sane for 4.15 to me"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
