Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-5.13-mw0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
- Support for the memtest= kernel command-line argument.
- Support for building the kernel with FORTIFY_SOURCE.
- Support for generic clockevent broadcasts.
- Support for the buildtar build target.
- Some build system cleanups to pass more LLVM-friendly arguments.
- Support for kprobes.
- A rearranged kernel memory map, the first part of supporting sv48
systems.
- Improvements to kexec, along with support for kdump and crash
kernels.
- An alternatives-based errata framework, along with support for
handling a pair of errata that manifest on some SiFive designs
(including the HiFive Unmatched).
- Support for XIP.
- A device tree for the Microchip PolarFire ICICLE SoC and associated
dev board.
... along with a bunch of cleanups. There are already a handful of fixes
on the list so there will likely be a part 2.
