Linux kernel source tree
f617d24606
In v6.8, the size of task_struct on arm64 increased by 528 bytes due to the new 'kernel_fpsimd_state' field. This field was added to allow kernel-mode FPSIMD code to be preempted. Unfortunately, 528 bytes is kind of a lot for task_struct. This regression in the task_struct size was noticed and reported. Recover that space by making this state be allocated on the stack at the beginning of each kernel-mode FPSIMD section. To make it easier for all the users of kernel-mode FPSIMD to do that correctly, introduce and use a 'scoped_ksimd' abstraction. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQSacvsUNc7UX4ntmEPzXCl4vpKOKwUCaSuxbxQcZWJpZ2dlcnNA a2VybmVsLm9yZwAKCRDzXCl4vpKOKysnAQCbN4Jed8IqwGUEkkjZrnMeN0pEO4RI lAhb2Obj3n/grQEAiPBmqWVjXaIPO4lSgLQxY6XoVLr+utMod4TMTYHfnAY= =0zQQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'fpsimd-on-stack-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux Pull arm64 FPSIMD on-stack buffer updates from Eric Biggers: "This is a core arm64 change.

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.
