Linux 6.19-rc3
Another week, another -rc release.
Except the past week has obviously been the holiday week, and this rc release is pretty small as a result. Very much as expected.
It's pretty much all drivers, with the bulk of it being GPU, sound, and some USB driver updates (mostly reverts).
And "bulk" here is very relative, because even those changes aren't all that big.
The rest is a random collection of fixes and updates, this time the shortlog below is short enough that you might as well just scroll down and scan it. TL;DR: powerpc and RISC-V updates, some filesystem noise (mostly smb and nfsd), and some virtio tooling, and random small commits.
I expect that the upcoming week is still going to be sluggish, as people are slowly getting back to normal.
I hope everybody had a good holiday break, and here's to a happy new year.

New Linux 6.19-rc3 kernel candidate adds CPU idle detection for POWER11
Linus Torvalds has released Linux 6.19-rc3, explaining that the development has remained quiet over the holiday week, which was to be expected as people wind down from work. The release, as a result, is relatively small and consists primarily of driver updates and minor architecture fixes.
The majority of the changes in this release are concentrated in the drivers subsystem. There are significant documentation fixes in kernel-doc for the Snapdragon driver and various reverts in the Display Processing Unit Code. The update also contains solutions for numerous quirks on specific laptops from Asus, HP, Honor, and Medion, as well as resource leak fixes in probe paths. There are also updates for Intel and NXP/Freescale audio components.
