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.

Finish up what commit c2febafc ("mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging") started while levelling up P4D huge mapping support at par with PUD and PMD. A new arch call back arch_ioremap_p4d_supported() is added which just maintains status quo (P4D huge map not supported) on x86, arm64 and powerpc. When HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is enabled its just a simple check from the arch about the support, hence runtime effects are minimal.
