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 Restructured Text 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.

Enable generic PCIe by default in the RISC-V defconfig, this allows us
to use QEMU's PCIe support out of the box. CONFIG_RAS=y is
automatically selected by generic PCIe, so it has been dropped from
the defconfig.

The cond_resched() can be used to yield the CPU resource if
CONFIG_PREEMPT is not defined. Otherwise, cond_resched() is a dummy
function. In order to avoid kernel thread occupying entire CPU,
when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, the kernel thread needs to follow the
rescheduling mechanism like a user thread.

Yue Hu noticed that when parsing device tree the allocated platform data
was never freed. Since it's not used beyond the function scope, this
switches to using a stack variable instead.
