"ARM:
- Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for
arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt
translation and wired interrupts
- Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on
GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface
- Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing
userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on
hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally
- Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on
systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to
perform cache maintenance on the address range

Pull tracepoint cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
"Remove or hide unused tracepoints
Tracepoints take up memory (around 5K per tracepoint) even when they
are unused. Changes are being made to detect when a tracepoint is
defined but unused and a warning is shown at build. But those changes
are not yet ready for inclusion.
- Fix some of the unused tracepoints that it detected
Some tracepoints were removed and others were hidden by config
settings to match the config settings of where they are
instantiated. Some tracepoints were moved into architecture
specific code as only one architecture used them.
- Call the ftrace_test_filter tracepoint in an unreachable if
statement

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application
Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have
unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page
faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority
inheritance.
However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these
real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate
as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to
understand, and error-prone.
For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable.
The LTL is more concise and intuitive.

Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Rewind persistent ring buffer on boot
When the persistent ring buffer is being used for live kernel tracing
and the system crashes, the tool that is reading the trace may not
have recorded the data when the system crashed.
Although the persistent ring buffer still has that data, when reading
it after a reboot, it will start where it left off. That is, what was
read will not be accessible.
Instead, on reboot, have the persistent ring buffer restart where the
data starts and this will allow the tooling to recover what was lost
when the crash occurred.

Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not
Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
working as expected.
- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it
As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.

Merge tag 'ktest-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest
Pull ktest updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add new -D option that allows to override variables and options
For example:
./ktest.pl -DPATCH_START:=HEAD~1 -DOUTPUT_DIR=/work/build/urgent config
The above sets the variable "PATCH_START" to HEAD~1 and the
OUTPUT_DIR option to "/work/build/urgent".
This is useful because currently the only way to make a slight change
to a config file is by modifying that config file. For one time
changes, this can be annoying. Having a way to do a one time override
from the command line simplifies the workflow.
Temp variables (PATCH_START) will override every temp variable in the
