- Add sorting of mcount locations at build time
- Rework uaccess functions with C exception handling to shorten inline
assembly size and enable full inlining. This yields near-optimal code
for small constant copies with a ~40kb kernel size increase
- Add support for a configurable STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS which allows to
generate better code, but also allows to have type checking for
debug builds
- Optimize get_lowcore() for common callers with alternatives that
nearly revert to the pre-relocated lowcore code, while also slightly
reducing syscall entry and exit time
- Convert MACHINE_HAS_* checks for single facility tests into cpu_has_*
style macros that call test_facility(), and for features with additional
conditions, add a new ALT_TYPE_FEATURE alternative to provide a static
branch via alternative patching. Also, move machine feature detection
to the decompressor for early patching and add debugging functionality
to easily show which alternatives are patched
- Add exception table support to early boot / startup code to get rid
of the open coded exception handling
- Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies with EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE
to ensure correct inlining and unrolling decisions
- Remove 2k page table leftovers now that s390 has been switched to
always allocate 4k page tables
- Split kfence pool into 4k mappings in arch_kfence_init_pool() and
remove the architecture-specific kfence_split_mapping()
- Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() to silence
spurious KASAN warnings from opportunistic ftrace argument tracing
- Force __atomic_add_const() variants on s390 to always return void,
ensuring compile errors for improper usage
- Remove s390's ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough() due to mismatched
semantics and lack of known users, relying on asm-generic fallbacks
- Signal eventfd in vfio-ap to notify userspace when the guest AP
configuration changes, including during mdev removal
- Convert mdev_types from an array to a pointer in vfio-ccw and vfio-ap
drivers to avoid fake flex array confusion
- Cleanup trap code
- Remove references to the outdated linux390@de.ibm.com address
- Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code
