* for-next/cpufeature
- Remove ARM64_HAS_NO_HW_PREFETCH copy_page() optimisation for ye olde
Thunder-X machines.
- Avoid mapping KPTI trampoline when it is not required.
- Make CPU capability API more robust during early initialisation.
* for-next/early-idreg-overrides
- Remove dependencies on core kernel helpers from the early
command-line parsing logic in preparation for moving this code
before the kernel is mapped.
* for-next/fpsimd
- Restore kernel-mode fpsimd context lazily, allowing us to run fpsimd
code sequences in the kernel with pre-emption enabled.
* for-next/kbuild
- Install 'vmlinuz.efi' when CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y.
- Makefile cleanups.
* for-next/lpa2-prep
- Preparatory work for enabling the 'LPA2' extension, which will
introduce 52-bit virtual and physical addressing even with 4KiB
pages (including for KVM guests).
* for-next/misc
- Remove dead code and fix a typo.
* for-next/mm
- Pass NUMA node information for IRQ stack allocations.
* for-next/perf
- Add perf support for the Synopsys DesignWare PCIe PMU.
- Add support for event counting thresholds (FEAT_PMUv3_TH) introduced
in Armv8.8.
- Add support for i.MX8DXL SoCs to the IMX DDR PMU driver.
- Minor PMU driver fixes and optimisations.
* for-next/rip-vpipt
- Remove what support we had for the obsolete VPIPT I-cache policy.
* for-next/selftests
- Improvements to the SVE and SME selftests.
* for-next/stacktrace
- Refactor kernel unwind logic so that it can used by BPF unwinding
and, eventually, reliable backtracing.
* for-next/sysregs
- Update a bunch of register definitions based on the latest XML drop
from Arm.

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.
