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.

Pull i2c fix from Wolfram Sang:

the RAS interrupt lines

EDAC/qcom: Correct interrupt enable register configuration

2544 | }
| ^
Fix this by allocating the temporary client structure dynamically, as it
is a rather large structure (1216 bytes, depending on kernel config).
This is basically a revert of the to-be-fixed commit with some
checkpatch improvements.

* tag 'v6.14-rc3-smb3-client-fix-part2' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
smb: client: Add check for next_buffer in receive_encrypted_standard()
The previous implementation incorrectly configured the cmn_interrupt_2_enable
register for interrupt handling. Using cmn_interrupt_2_enable to configure
Tag, Data RAM ECC interrupts would lead to issues like double handling of the
interrupts (EL1 and EL3) as cmn_interrupt_2_enable is meant to be configured
for interrupts which needs to be handled by EL3.
EL1 LLCC EDAC driver needs to use cmn_interrupt_0_enable register to configure
Tag, Data RAM ECC interrupts instead of cmn_interrupt_2_enable.

Pull driver core api addition from Greg KH:
"Here is a driver core new api for 6.14-rc3 that is being added to
allow platform devices from stop being abused.
It adds a new 'faux_device' structure and bus and api to allow almost
a straight or simpler conversion from platform devices that were not
really a platform device. It also comes with a binding for rust, with
an example driver in rust showing how it's used.
I'm adding this now so that the patches that convert the different
drivers and subsystems can all start flowing into linux-next now
through their different development trees, in time for 6.15-rc1.
We have a number that are already reviewed and tested, but adding
those conversions now doesn't seem right. For now, no one is using
this, and it passes all build tests from 0-day and linux-next, so all
should be good"
