Subject: [GIT PULL] RISC-V updates for v6.19-rc5
Linus,
Please pull these RISC-V updates for v6.19-rc5. Notable changes
include a fix to close one common microarchitectural attack vector for
out-of-order cores. Another patch exposed an omission in my boot test
coverage, which is currently missing relocatable kernels. Otherwise,
the fixes seem to be settling down for us.
The following changes since commit f8f9c1f4d0c7a64600e2ca312dec824a0bc2f1da:
Linux 6.19-rc3 (2025-12-28 13:24:26 -0800)

riscv: trace: fix snapshot deadlock with sbi ecall (2026-01-07 13:25:56 -0700)
- Paul
----------------------------------------------------------------
RISC-V updates for v6.19-rc5
- Fix CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y boots by building Image files from vmlinux,
rather than vmlinux.unstripped, now that the .modinfo section is
included in vmlinux.unstripped.
- Prevent branch predictor poisoning microarchitectural attacks that
use the syscall index as a vector by using array_index_nospec() to
clamp the index after the bounds check (as x86 and ARM64 already
do).
- Fix a crash in test_kprobes when building with Clang.
- Fix a deadlock possible when tracing is enabled for SBI ecalls.
- Fix the definition of the Zk standard RISC-V ISA extension bundle,
which was missing the Zknh extension.
- A few other miscellaneous non-functional cleanups, removing unused
macros, fixing an out-of-date path in code comments, resolving a
compile-time warning for a type mismatch in a pr_crit(), and removing
an unnecessary header file inclusion.
