The main MIPS changes for 5.6:
- Support mremap() for the VDSO, primarily to allow CRIU to restore the
VDSO to its checkpointed location.
- Restore the MIPS32 cBPF JIT, after having reverted the enablement of
the eBPF JIT for MIPS32 systems in the 5.5 cycle.
- Improve cop0 counter synchronization behaviour whilst onlining CPUs by
running with interrupts disabled.
- Better match FPU behaviour when emulating multiply-accumulate
instructions on pre-r6 systems that implement IEEE754-2008 style MACs.
- Loongson64 kernels now build using the MIPS64r2 ISA, allowing them to
take advantage of instructions introduced by r2.
- Support for the Ingenic X1000 SoC & the really nice little CU Neo
development board that's using it.
- Support for WMAC on GARDENA Smart Gateway devices.
- Lots of cleanup & refactoring of SGI IP27 (Origin 2*) support in
preparation for introducing IP35 (Origin 3*) support.
- Various Kconfig & Makefile cleanups.
