These are the main MIPS changes for 4.18. Rough overview:
(1) MAINTAINERS: Add Paul Burton as MIPS co-maintainer
(2) Misc: Generic compiler intrinsics, Y2038 improvements, Perf+MT fixes
(3) Platform support: Netgear WNR1000 V3, Microsemi Ocelot integrated
switch, Ingenic watchdog cleanups
Maintainers:
- Add Paul Burton as MIPS co-maintainer
Miscellaneous:
- Use generic GCC library routines from lib/
- Add notrace to generic ucmpdi2 implementation
- Rename compiler intrinsic selects to GENERIC_LIB_*
- vmlinuz: Use generic ashldi3
- y2038: Convert update/read_persistent_clock() to *_clock64()
- sni: Remove read_persistent_clock()
- perf: Fix perf with MT counting other threads
- Probe for per-TC perf counters in cpu-probe.c
- Use correct VPE ID for VPE tracing
Minor cleanups:
- Avoid unneeded built-in.a in DTS dirs
- sc-debugfs: Re-use kstrtobool_from_user
- memset.S: Reinstate delay slot indentation
- VPE: Fix spelling "uneeded" -> "Unneeded"
Platform support:
BCM47xx:
- Add support for Netgear WNR1000 V3
- firmware: Support small NVRAM partitions
- Use __initdata for LEDs platform data
Ingenic:
- Watchdog driver & platform code improvements:
- Disable clock after stopping counter
- Use devm_* functions
- Drop module remove function
- Move platform reset code to restart handler in driver
- JZ4740: Convert watchdog instantiation to DT
- JZ4780: Fix watchdog DT node
- qi_lb60_defconfig: Enable watchdog driver
Microsemi:
- Ocelot: Add support for integrated switch
- pcb123: Connect phys to ports

More detailed summary:
Maintainers:
- Add Paul Burton as MIPS co-maintainer, as I soon won't have access
to much MIPS hardware, nor enough time to properly maintain MIPS on
my own.
Miscellaneous:
- Use generic GCC library routines from lib/
- Add notrace to generic ucmpdi2 implementation
- Rename compiler intrinsic selects to GENERIC_LIB_*
- vmlinuz: Use generic ashldi3

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
