Linus Torvalds 86bcf7be1e RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window (part two)
Second set of RISC-V updates for the v6.18 merge window, consisting
 of:
 
 - Support for the RISC-V-standardized RPMI interface.
 
   RPMI is a platform management communication mechanism between OSes
   running on application processors, and a remote platform management
   processor.  Similar to ARM SCMI, TI SCI, etc.  This includes irqchip,
   mailbox, and clk changes.
 
 - Support for the RISC-V-standardized MPXY SBI extension.
 
   MPXY is a RISC-V-specific standard implementing a shared memory
   mailbox between S-mode operating systems (e.g., Linux) and M-mode
   firmware (e.g., OpenSBI).  It is part of this PR since one of its
   use cases is to enable M-mode firmware to act as a single RPMI client
   for all RPMI activity on a core (including S-mode RPMI activity).
   Includes a mailbox driver.
 
 - Some ACPI-related updates to enable the use of RPMI and MPXY.
 
 - The addition of Linux-wide memcpy_{from,to}_le32() static inline
   functions, for RPMI use.
 
 - An ACPI Kconfig change to enable boot logos on any ACPI-using
   architecture (including RISC-V)
 
 - A RISC-V defconfig change to add GPIO keyboard and event device
   support, for front panel shutdown or reboot buttons
 
 This PR also includes a recent, one-line Kconfig patch from Geert to
 keep non-RISC-V users from being asked about building the RPMI virtual
 clock driver when !COMPILE_TEST.  THere's nothing preventing
 non-RISC-V SoCs from implementing RPMI, but until some users show up,
 let's not annoy others with it.

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.
