Linus Torvalds f90f2145b2 s390 updates for 6.15 merge window
- Add sorting of mcount locations at build time
 
 - Rework uaccess functions with C exception handling to shorten inline
   assembly size and enable full inlining. This yields near-optimal code
   for small constant copies with a ~40kb kernel size increase
 
 - Add support for a configurable STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS which allows to
   generate better code, but also allows to have type checking for
   debug builds
 
 - Optimize get_lowcore() for common callers with alternatives that
   nearly revert to the pre-relocated lowcore code, while also slightly
   reducing syscall entry and exit time
 
 - Convert MACHINE_HAS_* checks for single facility tests into cpu_has_*
   style macros that call test_facility(), and for features with additional
   conditions, add a new ALT_TYPE_FEATURE alternative to provide a static
   branch via alternative patching. Also, move machine feature detection
   to the decompressor for early patching and add debugging functionality
   to easily show which alternatives are patched
 
 - Add exception table support to early boot / startup code to get rid
   of the open coded exception handling
 
 - Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies with EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE
   to ensure correct inlining and unrolling decisions
 
 - Remove 2k page table leftovers now that s390 has been switched to
   always allocate 4k page tables
 
 - Split kfence pool into 4k mappings in arch_kfence_init_pool() and
   remove the architecture-specific kfence_split_mapping()
 
 - Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() to silence
   spurious KASAN warnings from opportunistic ftrace argument tracing
 
 - Force __atomic_add_const() variants on s390 to always return void,
   ensuring compile errors for improper usage
 
 - Remove s390's ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough() due to mismatched
   semantics and lack of known users, relying on asm-generic fallbacks
 
 - Signal eventfd in vfio-ap to notify userspace when the guest AP
   configuration changes, including during mdev removal
 
 - Convert mdev_types from an array to a pointer in vfio-ccw and vfio-ap
   drivers to avoid fake flex array confusion
 
 - Cleanup trap code
 
 - Remove references to the outdated linux390@de.ibm.com address
 
 - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code

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.
