Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-6.6-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
- Support for the new "riscv,isa-extensions" and "riscv,isa-base"
device tree interfaces for probing extensions
- Support for userspace access to the performance counters
- Support for more instructions in kprobes
- Crash kernels can be allocated above 4GiB
- Support for KCFI
- Support for ELFs in !MMU configurations
- ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN has been reduced to 8
- mmap() defaults to sv48-sized addresses, with longer addresses hidden
behind a hint (similar to Arm and Intel)
- Also various fixes and cleanups
