Linus Torvalds 6d75c6f40a arm64 updates for 6.9:
* Reorganise the arm64 kernel VA space and add support for LPA2 (at
   stage 1, KVM stage 2 was merged earlier) - 52-bit VA/PA address range
   with 4KB and 16KB pages
 
 * Enable Rust on arm64
 
 * Support for the 2023 dpISA extensions (data processing ISA), host only
 
 * arm64 perf updates:
 
   - StarFive's StarLink (integrates one or more CPU cores with a shared
     L3 memory system) PMU support
 
   - Enable HiSilicon Erratum 162700402 quirk for HIP09
 
   - Several updates for the HiSilicon PCIe PMU driver
 
   - Arm CoreSight PMU support
 
   - Convert all drivers under drivers/perf/ to use .remove_new()
 
 * Miscellaneous:
 
   - Don't enable workarounds for "rare" errata by default
 
   - Clean up the DAIF flags handling for EL0 returns (in preparation for
     NMI support)
 
   - Kselftest update for ptrace()
 
   - Update some of the sysreg field definitions
 
   - Slight improvement in the code generation for inline asm I/O
     accessors to permit offset addressing
 
   - kretprobes: acquire regs via a BRK exception (previously done via a
     trampoline handler)
 
   - SVE/SME cleanups, comment updates
 
   - Allow CALL_OPS+CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE with clang (previously disabled
     due to gcc silently ignoring -falign-functions=N)

Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The major features are support for LPA2 (52-bit VA/PA with 4K and 16K
  pages), the dpISA extension and Rust enabled on arm64. The changes are
  mostly contained within the usual arch/arm64/, drivers/perf, the arm64
  Documentation and kselftests. The exception is the Rust support which
  touches some generic build files.

  Summary:

   - Reorganise the arm64 kernel VA space and add support for LPA2 (at
     stage 1, KVM stage 2 was merged earlier) - 52-bit VA/PA address
     range with 4KB and 16KB pages

   - Enable Rust on arm64

   - Support for the 2023 dpISA extensions (data processing ISA), host
     only

   - arm64 perf updates:

      - StarFive's StarLink (integrates one or more CPU cores with a
        shared L3 memory system) PMU support

      - Enable HiSilicon Erratum 162700402 quirk for HIP09

      - Several updates for the HiSilicon PCIe PMU driver

      - Arm CoreSight PMU support

      - Convert all drivers under drivers/perf/ to use .remove_new()

   - Miscellaneous:

      - Clean up the DAIF flags handling for EL0 returns (in preparation
        for NMI support)

      - Kselftest update for ptrace()

README

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.
