- vDSO build improvements including support for building with BSD.
- Cleanup to the AMU support code and initialisation rework to support
cpufreq drivers built as modules.
- Removal of synthetic frame record from exception stack when entering
the kernel from EL0.
- Add support for the TRNG firmware call introduced by Arm spec
DEN0098.
- Cleanup and refactoring across the board.
- Avoid calling arch_get_random_seed_long() from
add_interrupt_randomness()
- Perf and PMU updates including support for Cortex-A78 and the v8.3
SPE extensions.
- Significant steps along the road to leaving the MMU enabled during
kexec relocation.
- Faultaround changes to initialise prefaulted PTEs as 'old' when
hardware access-flag updates are supported, which drastically
improves vmscan performance.
- CPU errata updates for Cortex-A76 (#1463225) and Cortex-A55
(#1024718)
- Preparatory work for yielding the vector unit at a finer granularity
in the crypto code, which in turn will one day allow us to defer
softirq processing when it is in use.
- Support for overriding CPU ID register fields on the command-line.

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.
