Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"Here is a (hopefully) final round of arm64 fixes for 6.12 that address
some user-visible floating point register corruption. Both of the
Marks have been working on this for a couple of weeks and we've ended
up in a position where SVE is solid but SME still has enough pending
issues that the most pragmatic solution for the release and stable
backports is to disable the feature. Yes, it's a shame, but the
hardware is rare as hen's teeth at the moment and we're better off
getting back to a known good state before fixing it all properly.
We're also improving the selftests for 6.13 to help avoid merging
broken code in the future.
Anyway, the good news is that we're removing a lot more code than
we're adding.
Summary:
- Fix handling of SVE traps from userspace on preemptible kernels
when converting the saved floating point state into SVE state.
- Remove broken support for the SMCCCv1.3 "SVE discard hint"
optimisation.
- Disable SME support, as the current support code suffers from
numerous issues around signal delivery, ptrace access and
context-switch which can lead to user-visible corruption of the
register state"

============
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.
