Linus Torvalds 18fd049731 arm64 updates for 6.1:
- arm64 perf: DDR PMU driver for Alibaba's T-Head Yitian 710 SoC, SVE
   vector granule register added to the user regs together with SVE perf
   extensions documentation.
 
 - SVE updates: add HWCAP for SVE EBF16, update the SVE ABI documentation
   to match the actual kernel behaviour (zeroing the registers on syscall
   rather than "zeroed or preserved" previously).
 
 - More conversions to automatic system registers generation.
 
 - vDSO: use self-synchronising virtual counter access in gettimeofday()
   if the architecture supports it.
 
 - arm64 stacktrace cleanups and improvements.
 
 - arm64 atomics improvements: always inline assembly, remove LL/SC
   trampolines.
 
 - Improve the reporting of EL1 exceptions: rework BTI and FPAC exception
   handling, better EL1 undefs reporting.
 
 - Cortex-A510 erratum 2658417: remove BF16 support due to incorrect
   result.
 
 - arm64 defconfig updates: build CoreSight as a module, enable options
   necessary for docker, memory hotplug/hotremove, enable all PMUs
   provided by Arm.
 
 - arm64 ptrace() support for TPIDR2_EL0 (register provided with the SME
   extensions).
 
 - arm64 ftraces updates/fixes: fix module PLTs with mcount, remove
   unused function.
 
 - kselftest updates for arm64: simple HWCAP validation, FP stress test
   improvements, validation of ZA regs in signal handlers, include larger
   SVE and SME vector lengths in signal tests, various cleanups.
 
 - arm64 alternatives (code patching) improvements to robustness and
   consistency: replace cpucap static branches with equivalent
   alternatives, associate callback alternatives with a cpucap.
 
 - Miscellaneous updates: optimise kprobe performance of patching
   single-step slots, simplify uaccess_mask_ptr(), move MTE registers
   initialisation to C, support huge vmalloc() mappings, run softirqs on
   the per-CPU IRQ stack, compat (arm32) misalignment fixups for
   multiword accesses.

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 Restructured Text 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.
