Pull RISC-V cleanups and ABI fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
"This contains a handful of small cleanups that are a result of
feedback that didn't make it into our original patch set, either
because the feedback hadn't been given yet, I missed the original
emails, or we weren't ready to submit the changes yet.
I've been maintaining the various cleanup patch sets I have as their
own branches, which I then merged together and signed. Each merge
commit has a short summary of the changes, and each branch is based on
your latest tag (4.15-rc1, in this case). If this isn't the right way
to do this then feel free to suggest something else, but it seems sane
to me.
Here's a short summary of the changes, roughly in order of how
interesting they are.
- libgcc.h has been moved from include/lib, where it's the only
member, to include/linux. This is meant to avoid tab completion
conflicts.
- VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added.
These are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them
from the start so we can make them faster later.
- A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so
userspace can flush the instruction cache.
- The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been
removed, as those VDSO entries don't actually exist.
- __io_writes has been corrected to respect the given type.
- A new READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked().
- __test_and_op_bit_ord() is now actually ordered.
- Various small fixes throughout the tree to enable allmodconfig to
build cleanly.
- Removal of some dead code in our atomic support headers.
- Improvements to various comments in our atomic support headers"

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.
