booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined
Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a
lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale.
The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the
evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst
contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the
ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification
are now.All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch
specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same
details documented.Cc: Frank Rowand

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come. Changes include:- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"

There are some new broken doc links due to yaml renames
at DT. Developers should really run:./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check
in order to solve those issues while submitting patches.
This tool can even fix most of the issues with:./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check --fix

Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
"Main MIPS changes:- boot_mem_map is removed, providing a nice cleanup made possible by
the recent removal of bootmem.- Some fixes to atomics, in general providing compiler barriers for
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic plus fixes specific to Loongson CPUs
or MIPS32 systems using cmpxchg64().- Conversion to the new generic VDSO infrastructure courtesy of
Vincenzo Frascino.- Removal of undefined behavior in set_io_port_base(), fixing the
behavior of some MIPS kernel configurations when built with recent
clang versions.- Initial MIPS32 huge page support, functional on at least Ingenic
SoCs.- pte_special() is now supported for some configurations, allowing
among other things generic fast GUP to be used.- Miscellaneous fixes & cleanups.
And platform specific changes:
- Major improvements to Ingenic SoC support from Paul Cercueil,
mostly enabled by the inclusion of the new TCU (timer-counter unit)
drivers he's spent a very patient year or so working on. Plus some
fixes for X1000 SoCs from Zhou Yanjie.- Netgear R6200 v1 systems are now supported by the bcm47xx platform.
- DT updates for BMIPS, Lantiq & Microsemi Ocelot systems"

Add documentation about the Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) present in the
Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs.The Timer/Counter Unit (TCU) in Ingenic JZ47xx SoCs is a multi-function
hardware block. It features up to to eight channels, that can be used as
counters, timers, or PWM.- JZ4725B, JZ4750, JZ4755 only have six TCU channels. The other SoCs all
have eight channels.- JZ4725B introduced a separate channel, called Operating System Timer
(OST). It is a 32-bit programmable timer. On JZ4770 and above, it is
64-bit.- Each one of the TCU channels has its own clock, which can be reparented
to three different clocks (pclk, ext, rtc), gated, and reclocked, through
their TCSR register.
* The watchdog and OST hardware blocks also feature a TCSR register with
the same format in their register space.
* The TCU registers used to gate/ungate can also gate/ungate the watchdog
and OST clocks.- Each TCU channel works in one of two modes:
* mode TCU1: channels cannot work in sleep mode, but are easier to
operate.
* mode TCU2: channels can work in sleep mode, but the operation is a bit
more complicated than with TCU1 channels.- The mode of each TCU channel depends on the SoC used:
* On the oldest SoCs (up to JZ4740), all of the eight channels operate in
TCU1 mode.
* On JZ4725B, channel 5 operates as TCU2, the others operate as TCU1.
* On newest SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channels 1-2 operate as TCU2, the
others operate as TCU1.- Each channel can generate an interrupt. Some channels share an interrupt
line, some don't, and this changes between SoC versions:
* on older SoCs (JZ4740 and below), channel 0 and channel 1 have their
own interrupt line; channels 2-7 share the last interrupt line.
* On JZ4725B, channel 0 has its own interrupt; channels 1-5 share one
interrupt line; the OST uses the last interrupt line.
* on newer SoCs (JZ4750 and above), channel 5 has its own interrupt;
channels 0-4 and (if eight channels) 6-7 all share one interrupt line;
the OST uses the last interrupt line.Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad

Based upon the 2.4 kernel, the information presented in the
Documentation/mips/GT64120.README file is outdated. Worse,
the document contents are plain misleading nowadays because
the text mentions files and directories, which have been
deleted, moved or restructured for 2.6.This patch removes the documentation, which is no more valid.

Since we already moved to GENERIC_TIME, we should implement alternatives
of old do_gettimeoffset routines to get sub-jiffies resolution from
gettimeofday(). This patch includes:* MIPS clocksource support (based on works by Manish Lachwani).
* remove unused gettimeoffset routines and related codes.
* remove unised 64bit do_div64_32().
* simplify mips_hpt_init. (no argument needed, __init tag)
* simplify c0_hpt_timer_init. (no need to write to c0_count)
* remove some hpt_init routines.
* mips_hpt_mask variable to specify bitmask of hpt value.
* convert jmr3927_do_gettimeoffset to jmr3927_hpt_read.
* convert ip27_do_gettimeoffset to ip27_hpt_read.
* convert bcm1480_do_gettimeoffset to bcm1480_hpt_read.
* simplify sb1250 hpt functions. (no need to subtract and shift)Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
