Linus Torvalds 9b9e211360 arm64 updates for 5.17: 
- KCSAN enabled for arm64.
 
 - Additional kselftests to exercise the syscall ABI w.r.t. SVE/FPSIMD.
 
 - Some more SVE clean-ups and refactoring in preparation for SME support
   (scalable matrix extensions).
 
 - BTI clean-ups (SYM_FUNC macros etc.)
 
 - arm64 atomics clean-up and codegen improvements.
 
 - HWCAPs for FEAT_AFP (alternate floating point behaviour) and
   FEAT_RPRESS (increased precision of reciprocal estimate and reciprocal
   square root estimate).
 
 - Use SHA3 instructions to speed-up XOR.
 
 - arm64 unwind code refactoring/unification.
 
 - Avoid DC (data cache maintenance) instructions when DCZID_EL0.DZP == 1
   (potentially set by a hypervisor; user-space already does this).
 
 - Perf updates for arm64: support for CI-700, HiSilicon PCIe PMU,
   Marvell CN10K LLC-TAD PMU, miscellaneous clean-ups.
 
 - Other fixes and clean-ups; highlights: fix the handling of erratum
   1418040, correct the calculation of the nomap region boundaries,
   introduce io_stop_wc() mapped to the new DGH instruction (data
   gathering hint).

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.
