Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-6.9-mw2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
- Support for various vector-accelerated crypto routines
- Hibernation is now enabled for portable kernel builds
- mmap_rnd_bits_max is larger on systems with larger VAs
- Support for fast GUP
- Support for membarrier-based instruction cache synchronization
- Support for the Andes hart-level interrupt controller and PMU
- Some cleanups around unaligned access speed probing and Kconfig
settings
- Support for ACPI LPI and CPPC
- Various cleanus related to barriers
- A handful of fixes

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. A hint address passed to mmap will cause the largest -address space that fits entirely into the hint to be used, unless there is no -space left in the address space. If there is no space available in the requested -address space, an address in the next smallest available address space will be -returned. - -For example, in order to obtain 48-bit VA space, a hint address greater than -:code:`1 << 47` must be provided. Note that this is 47 due to sv48 userspace -ending at :code:`1 << 47` and the addresses beyond this are reserved for the -kernel.
