With 6.14 being a fairly small release, rc2 follows suit. It's not the
smallest rc2 we've had in the 6.x series, but it's definitely on the
smaller side.

Nothing particularly odd stands out. The diffstat is a bit unusual
just because one of the bigger areas of change was some s390 kvm
cleanups. So the fact that s390 accounts for about a third of the
overall patch is certainly not very common, but it's just a result of
some code movement and the fact that most of the rest of rc2 really is
just very small fixes.

We have a similar pattern (on a much smaller scale) wrt selftests: the
tests show up in the diffstat, but it's due to trivial small fixes
that then triggered a whole new self test to be written.

Anyway, it all looks fine, please give it a try,

Build results:
total: 161 pass: 159 fail: 2
Failed builds:
i386:allyesconfig
i386:allmodconfig
Qemu test results:
total: 544 pass: 544 fail: 0
Unit test results:
pass: 487271 fail: 0

The i386 build failure is still

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/dma/tegra210-adma.o: in function `tegra_adma_probe':
tegra210-adma.c:(.text+0x1322): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

The failure is triggered by commit 68811c928f88 ("dmaengine: tegra210-adma:
Support channel page"). A fix has been submitted a while ago. See [1].
It hasn't been applied to linux-next. I don't know the status.
Copying those involved for feedback.

Hi, I have pushed the series https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d644a35e-7dfd-4eb0-a7c3-8dae96e09657@xxxxxxxxxx/ to fix this issue couple of days back, still waiting to get the change applied. Need someone to help here.
