Linus Torvalds cb69d86550 Updates for the interrupt subsystem:
- Core:
 	- Remove a global lock in the affinity setting code
 
 	  The lock protects a cpumask for intermediate results and the lock
 	  causes a bottleneck on simultaneous start of multiple virtual
 	  machines. Replace the lock and the static cpumask with a per CPU
 	  cpumask which is nicely serialized by raw spinlock held when
 	  executing this code.
 
 	- Provide support for giving a suffix to interrupt domain names.
 
 	  That's required to support devices with subfunctions so that the
 	  domain names are distinct even if they originate from the same
 	  device node.
 
 	- The usual set of cleanups and enhancements all over the place
 
   - Drivers:
 
 	- Support for longarch AVEC interrupt chip
 
 	- Refurbishment of the Armada driver so it can be extended for new
           variants.
 
 	- The usual set of cleanups and enhancements all over the place

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 reStructuredText 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.
