- Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes - Add new bitwise types and helper functions and use them in s390 specific drivers and code to make it easier to find virtual vs physical address usage bugs. Right now virtual and physical addresses are identical for s390, except for module, vmalloc, and similar areas. This will be changed, hopefully with the next merge window, so that e.g. the kernel image and modules will be located close to each other, allowing for direct branches and also for some other simplifications. As a prerequisite this requires to fix all misuses of virtual and physical addresses. As it turned out people are so used to the concept that virtual and physical addresses are the same, that new bugs got added to code which was already fixed. In order to avoid that even more code gets merged which adds such bugs add and use new bitwise types, so that sparse can be used to find such usage bugs. Most likely the new types can go away again after some time - Provide a simple ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VIRTUAL implementation - Fix kprobe branch handling: if an out-of-line single stepped relative branch instruction has a target address within a certain address area in the entry code, the program check handler may incorrectly execute cleanup code as if KVM code was executed, leading to crashes - Fix reference counting of zcrypt card objects - Various other small fixes and cleanups -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEECMNfWEw3SLnmiLkZIg7DeRspbsIFAmX5lIYACgkQIg7DeRsp bsJYxA//cYGSaopFLuHxQndQi5UcMx0NMcaD9auMyDraPWJH0/F+vIWnLPxgJ1wB zfav3Ssvdd/41rPIXHSGxUzXzv+EHCY5+91t4plfCxWtd1SbpJ8gG2vrXTH512ql RhJ7crRFQqoigIxlsdwUkwGSqd+L6H73ikKzQyAaJFKC/e9BEpCH4zb8NuTqCeJE a81/A8BGSIo4Fk4qj1T5bHZzkznmxtisMPGXzoKa28LKhzwqqbGZYeHohnkaT6co UpY/HMdhGH74kkKqpF0cLDI0Bd8ptfjbcVcKyJ8OD7vCfinIM3bZdYg0KIzyRMhu d49JDXctPiePXTCi8X+AJnhNYFGlHuDciEpTMzkw97kwhmCfAOW5UaAlBo8dJqat zt76Cxbl3D+hYI7Wbs9lt2QsXso4/1fMMNQbu9pwyMKxHlCBVe+ZqNIl0gP8OAXZ 51pghcLlcwYNeYRkSzvfEhO9aeUsRg40O5UBCklVMRScrx7qie2wsllEFavb7vZd Ejv89dvn0KtzYIHG+U5SQ9d0x1JL9qApVM06sCGZGsBM9r4hHFGa8x57Pr+51ZPs j0qbr7iAWgCGXN8c3p/Nrev6eqBio81CpD9PWik7QpJS38EKkussqfPdQitgQpsi 7r0Sx51oBzyAVadmVAf8/flUrbJTvD3BdbkzN99W4BXyARJk7CI= =Vh2x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 's390-6.9-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux Pull more s390 updates from Heiko Carstens: - Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes - Add new bitwise types and helper functions and use them in s390 specific drivers and code to make it easier to find virtual vs physical address usage bugs.

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.
