Linus Torvalds 74774e243c fsverity updates for 6.5
Several updates for fs/verity/:
 
 - Do all hashing with the shash API instead of with the ahash API.  This
   simplifies the code and reduces API overhead.  It should also make
   things slightly easier for XFS's upcoming support for fsverity.  It
   does drop fsverity's support for off-CPU hash accelerators, but that
   support was incomplete and not known to be used.
 
 - Update and export fsverity_get_digest() so that it's ready for
   overlayfs's upcoming support for fsverity checking of lowerdata.
 
 - Improve the documentation for builtin signature support.
 
 - Fix a bug in the large folio support.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
