Linus Torvalds 9ea7edac83 arm64 fixes for -rc7
- Fix handling of SVE traps from userspace on preemptible kernels when
   converting the saved floating point state into SVE state.
 
 - Remove broken support for the SMCCCv1.3 "SVE discard hint"
   optimisation.
 
 - Disable SME support, as the current support code suffers from numerous
   issues around signal delivery, ptrace access and context-switch which
   can lead to user-visible corruption of the register state.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "Here is a (hopefully) final round of arm64 fixes for 6.12 that address
  some user-visible floating point register corruption. Both of the
  Marks have been working on this for a couple of weeks and we've ended
  up in a position where SVE is solid but SME still has enough pending
  issues that the most pragmatic solution for the release and stable
  backports is to disable the feature. Yes, it's a shame, but the
  hardware is rare as hen's teeth at the moment and we're better off
  getting back to a known good state before fixing it all properly.
  We're also improving the selftests for 6.13 to help avoid merging
  broken code in the future.

  Anyway, the good news is that we're removing a lot more code than
  we're adding.

  Summary:

   - Fix handling of SVE traps from userspace on preemptible kernels
     when converting the saved floating point state into SVE state.

   - Remove broken support for the SMCCCv1.3 "SVE discard hint"
     optimisation.

   - Disable SME support, as the current support code suffers from
     numerous issues around signal delivery, ptrace access and
     context-switch which can lead to user-visible corruption of the
     register state"

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.
