Linus Torvalds 0338cd9c22 s390 updates for 6.13 merge window
- Add firmware sysfs interface which allows user space to retrieve the dump
   area size of the machine
 
 - Add 'measurement_chars_full' CHPID sysfs attribute to make the complete
   associated Channel-Measurements Characteristics Block available
 
 - Add virtio-mem support
 
 - Move gmap aka KVM page fault handling from the main fault handler to KVM
   code. This is the first step to make s390 KVM page fault handling similar
   to other architectures. With this first step the main fault handler does
   not have any special handling anymore, and therefore convert it to
   support LOCK_MM_AND_FIND_VMA
 
 - With gcc 14 s390 support for flag output operand support for inline
   assemblies was added. This allows for several optimizations
 
   - Provide a cmpxchg inline assembly which makes use of this, and provide
     all variants of arch_try_cmpxchg() so that the compiler can generate
     slightly better code
 
   - Convert a few cmpxchg() loops to try_cmpxchg() loops
 
   - Similar to x86 add a CC_OUT() helper macro (and other macros), and
     convert all inline assemblies to make use of them, so that depending on
     compiler version better code can be generated
 
 - List installed host-key hashes in sysfs if the machine supports the Query
   Ultravisor Keys UVC
 
 - Add 'Retrieve Secret' ioctl which allows user space in protected
   execution guests to retrieve previously stored secrets from the
   Ultravisor
 
 - Add pkey-uv module which supports the conversion of Ultravisor
   retrievable secrets to protected keys
 
 - Extend the existing paes cipher to exploit the full AES-XTS hardware
   acceleration introduced with message-security assist extension 10
 
 - Convert hopefully all sysfs show functions to use sysfs_emit() so that
   the constant flow of such patches stop
 
 - For PCI devices make use of the newly added Topology ID attribute to
   enable whole card multi-function support despite the change to PCHID per
   port. Additionally improve the overall robustness and usability of
   the multifunction support
 
 - Various other small improvements, fixes, and cleanups

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 reStructuredText 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.
