Linus Torvalds e0152e7481 RISC-V Patches for the 6.6 Merge Window, Part 1
* Support for the new "riscv,isa-extensions" and "riscv,isa-base" device
   tree interfaces for probing extensions.
 * Support for userspace access to the performance counters.
 * Support for more instructions in kprobes.
 * Crash kernels can be allocated above 4GiB.
 * Support for KCFI.
 * Support for ELFs in !MMU configurations.
 * ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN has been reduced to 8.
 * mmap() defaults to sv48-sized addresses, with longer addresses hidden
   behind a hint (similar to Arm and Intel).
 * Also various fixes and cleanups.

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.
