Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik: - Add support for CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK and enable it in debug_defconfig. s390 can only tell user from kernel PTEs via the mm, so mm_struct is now passed into pxx_user_accessible_page() callbacks - Expose the PCI function UID as an arch-specific slot attribute in sysfs so a function can be identified by its user-defined id while still in standby. Introduces a generic ARCH_PCI_SLOT_GROUPS hook in drivers/pci/slot.c - Refresh s390 PCI documentation to reflect current behavior and cover previously undocumented sysfs attributes - zcrypt device driver cleanup series: consistent field types, clearer variable naming, a kernel-doc warning fix, and a comment explaining the intentional synchronize_rcu() in pkey_handler_register() - Provide an s390 arch_raw_cpu_ptr() that avoids the detour via get_lowcore() using alternatives, shrinking defconfig by ~27 kB - Guard identity-base randomization with kaslr_enabled() so nokaslr keeps the identity mapping at 0 even with RANDOMIZE_IDENTITY_BASE=y - Build S390_MODULES_SANITY_TEST as a module only by requiring KUNIT && m, since built-in would not exercise module loading - Remove the permanently commented-out HMCDRV_DEV_CLASS create_class() code in the hmcdrv driver - Drop stale ident_map_size extern conflicting with asm/page.h * tag 's390-7.1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: s390/zcrypt: Fix warning about wrong kernel doc comment PCI: s390: Expose the UID as an arch specific PCI slot attribute docs: s390/pci: Improve and update PCI documentation s390/pkey: Add comment about synchronize_rcu() to pkey base s390/hmcdrv: Remove commented out code s390/zcrypt: Slight rework on the agent_id field s390/zcrypt: Explicitly use a card variable in _zcrypt_send_cprb s390/zcrypt: Rework MKVP fields and handling s390/zcrypt: Make apfs a real unsigned int field s390/zcrypt: Rework domain processing within zcrypt device driver s390/zcrypt: Move inline function rng_type6cprb_msgx from header to code s390/percpu: Provide arch_raw_cpu_ptr() s390: Enable page table check for debug_defconfig s390/pgtable: Add s390 support for page table check s390/pgtable: Use set_pmd_bit() to invalidate PMD entry mm/page_table_check: Pass mm_struct to pxx_user_accessible_page() s390/boot: Respect kaslr_enabled() for identity randomization s390/Kconfig: Make modules sanity test a module-only option s390/setup: Drop stale ident_map_size declaration
