Linus Torvalds ff2632d7d0 powerpc updates for 6.10
- Enable BPF Kernel Functions (kfuncs) in the powerpc BPF JIT.
 
  - Allow per-process DEXCR (Dynamic Execution Control Register) settings via
    prctl, notably NPHIE which controls hashst/hashchk for ROP protection.
 
  - Install powerpc selftests in sub-directories. Note this changes the way
    run_kselftest.sh needs to be invoked for powerpc selftests.
 
  - Change fadump (Firmware Assisted Dump) to better handle memory add/remove.
 
  - Add support for passing additional parameters to the fadump kernel.
 
  - Add support for updating the kdump image on CPU/memory add/remove events.
 
  - Other small features, 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.
