Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-6.11-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
- A revert for the mmap() change that ties the allocation range to the
hint adress, as what we tried to do ended up regressing on other
userspace workloads.
- A fix to avoid a kernel memory leak when emulating misaligned
accesses from userspace.
- A Kconfig fix for toolchain vector detection, which now correctly
detects vector support on toolchains where the V extension depends on
the M extension.
- A fix to avoid failing the linear mapping bootmem bounds check on
NOMMU systems.
- A fix for early alternatives on relocatable kernels.

This default behavior is achieved by -passing 0 into the hint address parameter of mmap. On CPUs with an address space -smaller than sv48, the CPU maximum supported address space will be the default. - -Software can "opt-in" to receiving VAs from another VA space by providing -a hint address to mmap. When a hint address is passed to mmap, the returned -address will never use more bits than the hint address. For example, if a hint -address of `1 << 40` is passed to mmap, a valid returned address will never use -bits 41 through 63. If no mappable addresses are available in that range, mmap -will return `MAP_FAILED`. |
