Linus Torvalds 143a6252e1 arm64 updates for 5.19:
- Initial support for the ARMv9 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME). SME
   takes the approach used for vectors in SVE and extends this to provide
   architectural support for matrix operations. No KVM support yet, SME
   is disabled in guests.
 
 - Support for crashkernel reservations above ZONE_DMA via the
   'crashkernel=X,high' command line option.
 
 - btrfs search_ioctl() fix for live-lock with sub-page faults.
 
 - arm64 perf updates: support for the Hisilicon "CPA" PMU for monitoring
   coherent I/O traffic, support for Arm's CMN-650 and CMN-700
   interconnect PMUs, minor driver fixes, kerneldoc cleanup.
 
 - Kselftest updates for SME, BTI, MTE.
 
 - Automatic generation of the system register macros from a 'sysreg'
   file describing the register bitfields.
 
 - Update the type of the function argument holding the ESR_ELx register
   value to unsigned long to match the architecture register size
   (originally 32-bit but extended since ARMv8.0).
 
 - stacktrace cleanups.
 
 - ftrace cleanups.
 
 - Miscellaneous updates, most notably: arm64-specific huge_ptep_get(),
   avoid executable mappings in kexec/hibernate code, drop TLB flushing
   from get_clear_flush() (and rename it to get_clear_contig()),
   ARCH_NR_GPIO bumped to 2048 for ARCH_APPLE.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
