Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- 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.
