Pull RISC-V fixes from Paul Walmsley:
"The notable changes here are the three RISC-V timer compare register
update sequence patches. These only apply to RV32 systems and are
related to the 64-bit timer compare value being split across two
separate 32-bit registers.
We weren't using the appropriate three-write sequence, documented in
the RISC-V ISA specifications, to avoid spurious timer interrupts
during the update sequence; so, these patches now use the recommended
sequence.
This doesn't affect 64-bit RISC-V systems, since the timer compare
value fits inside a single register and can be updated with a single
write.
- Fix the RISC-V timer compare register update sequence on RV32
systems to use the recommended sequence in the RISC-V ISA manual
This avoids spurious interrupts during updates
- Add a dependence on the new CONFIG_CACHEMAINT_FOR_DMA Kconfig
symbol for Renesas and StarFive RISC-V SoCs
- Add a temporary workaround for a Clang compiler bug caused by using
asm_goto_output for get_user()
- Clarify our documentation to specifically state a particular ISA
specification version for a chapter number reference"

Specify that chapter 27 refers to version 20191213 of the RISC-V ISA
Unprivileged Architecture. The chapter numbering differs across
specification versions - for example, in version 20250508, the ISA
Extension Naming Conventions is chapter 36, not chapter 27.
Historical versions of the RISC-V specification can be found via Link [1].

Sphinx reports htmldocs warnings:
Documentation/arch/x86/boot.rst:437: ERROR: Malformed table.
Text in column margin in table line 2.
The table header defined the first column width as 2 characters ("=="),
which is too narrow for entries like "0x10" and "0x13". This caused the

Fix it by extending the first column of assigned boot loader ID to 4

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.
- A lot of Chinese translation additions
- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"

The x86 bootloader ID specification text uses hexadecimal
values without a 0x prefix:
D kexec-tools
E Extended (see ext_loader_type)
F Special (0xFF = undefined)
10 Reserved
11 Minimal Linux Bootloader
<http://sebastian-plotz.blogspot.de>
12 OVMF UEFI virtualization stack
13 barebox
Which beyond the ambiguity of '13' in isolation, also
made me fail a grep -wi '0xd' when I was looking for
the kexec bootloader ID definition and caused quite
a bit of head-scratching before I found out why it
didn't show up.
Furthermore, the actual explanatory text uses the 0x
prefix:
For boot loader IDs above T = 0xD, write T = 0xE to this field and
write the extended ID minus 0x10 to the ext_loader_type field.
Similarly, the ext_loader_ver field can be used to provide more than
four bits for the bootloader version.
So make it all both unambiguous, easy to grep and consistent
across the entire documentation by prefixing the IDs with 0x.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.
The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
(similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
several cleanups/typos.
Summary:
Core features:
- Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API
Perf and PMU:
- Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs
- Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
for NVIDIA implementations
- Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect
- Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs
- Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver
- Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver
Memory managemennt:
- Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault
- Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid
- Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros
- Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()
- Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()
ACPI and EFI:
- Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption
- Remove unused ACPI function
Miscellaneous:
- ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems
- Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor
- Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__
- Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test
- Remove some no longer used macros/functions
- Various spelling corrections"

Currently it is not possible to disable streaming mode via ptrace on SME
only systems, the interface for doing this is to write via NT_ARM_SVE but
such writes will be rejected on a system without SVE support. Enable this
functionality by allowing userspace to write SVE_PT_REGS_FPSIMD format data
via NT_ARM_SVE with the vector length set to 0 on SME only systems. Such
writes currently error since we require that a vector length is specified
which should minimise the risk that existing software is relying on current
behaviour.
Reads are not supported since I am not aware of any use case for this and
there is some risk that an existing userspace application may be confused if
it reads NT_ARM_SVE on a system without SVE. Existing kernels will return
FPSIMD formatted register state from NT_ARM_SVE if full SVE state is not
stored, for example if the task has not used SVE. Returning a vector length
of 0 would create a risk that software would try to do things like allocate
space for register state with zero sizes, while returning a vector length of
128 bits would look like SVE is supported. It seems safer to just not make
the changes to add read support.
It remains possible for userspace to detect a SME only system via the ptrace
interface only since reads of NT_ARM_SSVE and NT_ARM_ZA will succeed while
reads of NT_ARM_SVE will fail. Read/write access to the FPSIMD registers in
non-streaming mode is available via REGSET_FPR.
sve_set_common() already avoids allocating SVE storage when doing a FPSIMD
formatted write and allocating SME storage when doing a NT_ARM_SVE write so
we change the function to validate the new case and skip setting a vector
length for it.
The aim is to make a minimally invasive change, no operation that would
previously have succeeded will be affected, and we use a previously
defined interface in new circumstances rather than define completely new
ABI.

Since the Handover Protocol was deprecated, the recommended approach is
to provide an initrd using a UEFI boot service with the
LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path. Documentation for the new
approach has been no more than an admonition with a link to an existing
implementation.
Provide a short explanation of this functionality, to ease future
implementations without having to reverse engineer existing ones.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"The biggest change here is making TDX and kexec play nicely together.
Before this, the memory encryption hardware (which doesn't respect
cache coherency) could write back old cachelines on top of data in the
new kernel, so kexec and TDX were made mutually exclusive. This
removes the limitation.
There is also some work to tighten up a hardware bug workaround and
some MAINTAINERS updates.
- Make TDX and kexec work together
- Skip TDX bug workaround when the bug is not present
- Update maintainers entries"

HTML redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site
