Linux 6.10-rc1

[Linus Torvalds]

Ok, the merge window is over, and 6.10-rc1 is tagged and pushed out.

This seems to be a regular-sized release, maybe even slightly on the
smaller side. All the stats look fairly normal, but "normal" obviously
means "much too big to post the shortlog", so below is - as always -
just my "merge log" that gives an overview of who I've merged from
with just the barest of descriptions.

We don't have any new filesystems, and the xfs online repair work
means that the bcachefs fixes aren't even the biggest filesystem
change any more. But all of that is dwarfed by all the usual driver
updates (and, as is tradition, GPU drivers are in a massive lead, with
networking a distant second and everything else is relatively small).

But we do have all the usual architecture updates, core cleanups and
fixes, tooling and documentation updates.

Please - let the testing commence,

                 Linus
