Linus Torvalds ba1f9c8fe3 arm64 updates for 6.13:
* Support for running Linux in a protected VM under the Arm Confidential
   Compute Architecture (CCA)
 
 * Guarded Control Stack user-space support. Current patches follow the
   x86 ABI of implicitly creating a shadow stack on clone(). Subsequent
   patches (already on the list) will add support for clone3() allowing
   finer-grained control of the shadow stack size and placement from libc
 
 * AT_HWCAP3 support (not running out of HWCAP2 bits yet but we are
   getting close with the upcoming dpISA support)
 
 * Other arch features:
 
   - In-kernel use of the memcpy instructions, FEAT_MOPS (previously only
     exposed to user; uaccess support not merged yet)
 
   - MTE: hugetlbfs support and the corresponding kselftests
 
   - Optimise CRC32 using the PMULL instructions
 
   - Support for FEAT_HAFT enabling ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG
 
   - Optimise the kernel TLB flushing to use the range operations
 
   - POE/pkey (permission overlays): further cleanups after bringing the
     signal handler in line with the x86 behaviour for 6.12
 
 * arm64 perf updates:
 
   - Support for the NXP i.MX91 PMU in the existing IMX driver
 
   - Support for Ampere SoCs in the Designware PCIe PMU driver
 
   - Support for Marvell's 'PEM' PCIe PMU present in the 'Odyssey' SoC
 
   - Support for Samsung's 'Mongoose' CPU PMU
 
   - Support for PMUv3.9 finer-grained userspace counter access control
 
   - Switch back to platform_driver::remove() now that it returns 'void'
 
   - Add some missing events for the CXL PMU driver
 
 * Miscellaneous arm64 fixes/cleanups:
 
   - Page table accessors cleanup: type updates, drop unused macros,
     reorganise arch_make_huge_pte() and clean up pte_mkcont(), sanity
     check addresses before runtime P4D/PUD folding
 
   - Command line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV (advertising the
     FEAT_ECV for the generic timers) allowing Linux to boot with
     firmware deployments that don't set SCTLR_EL3.ECVEn
 
   - ACPI/arm64: tighten the check for the array of platform timer
     structures and adjust the error handling procedure in
     gtdt_parse_timer_block()
 
   - Optimise the cache flush for the uprobes xol slot (skip if no
     change) and other uprobes/kprobes cleanups
 
   - Fix the context switching of tpidrro_el0 when kpti is enabled
 
   - Dynamic shadow call stack fixes
 
   - Sysreg updates
 
   - Various arm64 kselftest improvements

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.
