Linus Torvalds b731bc5f49 more s390 updates for 6.14 merge window
- The rework that uncoupled physical and virtual address spaces
   inadvertently prevented KASAN shadow mappings from using large
   pages. Restore large page mappings for KASAN shadows
 
 - Add decompressor routine physmem_alloc() that may fail,
   unlike physmem_alloc_or_die(). This allows callers to
   implement fallback paths
 
 - Allow falling back from large pages to smaller pages (1MB or
   4KB) if the allocation of 2GB pages  in the decompressor can
   not be fulfilled
 
 - Add to the decompressor boot print support of "%%" format
   string, width and padding hadnling, length modifiers and
   decimal conversion specifiers
 
 - Add to the decompressor message severity levels similar to
   kernel ones. Support command-line options that control
   console output verbosity
 
 - Replaces boot_printk() calls with appropriate loglevel-
   specific helpers such as boot_emerg(), boot_warn(), and
   boot_debug().
 
 - Collect all boot messages into a ring buffer independent
   of the current log level. This is particularly useful for
   early crash analysis
 
 - If 'earlyprintk' command line parameter is not specified, store
   decompressor boot messages in a ring buffer to be printed later
   by the kernel, once the console driver is registered
 
 - Add 'bootdebug' command line parameter to enable printing of
   decompressor debug messages when needed. That parameters allows
   message supressing and filtering
 
 - Dump boot messages on a decompressor crash, but only if
   'bootdebug' command line parameter is enabled
 
 - When CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, add timestamps to boot
   messages in the same format as regular printk()
 
 - Dump physical memory tracking information on boot:
   online ranges, reserved areas and vmem allocations
 
 - Dump virtual memory layout and randomization details
 
 - Improve decompression error reporting and dump the message
   ring buffer in case the boot failed and system halted
 
 - Add an exception handler which handles exceptions when FPU
   control register is attempted to be set to an invalid value.
   Remove '.fixup' section as result of this change
 
 - Use 'A', 'O', and 'R' inline assembly format flags, which
   allows recent Clang compilers to generate better FPU code
 
 - Rework uaccess code so it reads better and generates more
   efficient code
 
 - Cleanup futex inline assembly code
 
 - Disable KMSAN instrumention for futex inline assemblies, which
   contain dereferenced user pointers. Otherwise, shadows for the
   user pointers would be accessed
 
 - PFs which are not initially configured but in standby create
   only a single-function PCI domain. If they are configured later
   on, sibling PFs and their child VFs will not be added to their
   PCI domain breaking SR-IOV expectations. Fix that by allowing
   initially configured but in standby PFs create multi-function
   PCI domains
 
 - Add '-std=gnu11' to decompressor and purgatory CFLAGS to avoid
   compile errors caused by kernel's own definitions of 'bool',
   'false', and 'true' conflicting with the C23 reserved keywords
 
 - Fix sclp subsystem failure when a sclp console is not present
 
 - Fix misuse of non-NULL terminated strings in vmlogrdr driver
 
 - Various other small improvements, cleanups and fixes

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.
