Merge tag 's390-5.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:
- Add support for ftrace with direct call and ftrace direct call
samples.
- Add support for kernel command lines longer than current 896 bytes
and make its length configurable.
- Add support for BEAR enhancement facility to improve last breaking
event instruction tracking.
- Add kprobes sanity checks and testcases to prevent kprobe in the mid
of an instruction.
- Allow concurrent access to /dev/hwc for the CPUMF users.
- Various ftrace / jump label improvements.
- Convert unwinder tests to KUnit.
- Add s390_iommu_aperture kernel parameter to tweak the limits on
concurrently usable DMA mappings.
- Add ap.useirq AP module option which can be used to disable interrupt
use.
- Add add_disk() error handling support to block device drivers.
- Drop arch specific and use generic implementation of strlcpy and
strrchr.
- Several __pa/__va usages fixes.
- Various cio, crypto, pci, kernel doc and other small fixes and
improvements all over the code.
[ Merge fixup as per https://lore.kernel.org/all/YXAqZ%2FEszRisunQw@osiris/ ]
