I have a signed tag urgent/nolibc.2023.10.12a in the -rcu tree, so
please check the lead-in text for sanity.  (Everything after the digital
signature is automatically generated.)

Testing for urgent/nolibc.2023.10.12a:
make run: 160 test(s): 160 passed,   0 skipped,   0 failed => status: success
make run-user: 160 test(s): 158 passed,   2 skipped,   0 failed => status: warning

Testing for full nolibc stack:
make run: 162 test(s): 162 passed,   0 skipped,   0 failed => status: success
make run-user: 162 test(s): 160 passed,   2 skipped,   0 failed => status: warning

Ah, and have these been posted to a public mailing list?  If not, then I
need to send them out.

We reset the -next testing clock, so if all goes well, then I send the
three urgent commits to Linus on Monday.
