Linus Torvalds: Linux 6.5-rc1

Right on schedule two weeks after the 6.4 release, here we are and the
merge window is closed.

Nothing hugely unusual stands out - we had some VM annoyance, but the
fixes for that don't even show in the diffstat, which is (as usual)
dominated by drivers, with tooling and architecture updates a distant
second and third.

And even if you filter out all the drivers, tooling and architecture
changes out, the diff is still dominated by header file updates (much
of it due to some re-organization around our atomic ops) and
documentation updates.

At only after you filter out _that_ do you start seeing the core
changes - various filesystem updates (btrfs, ovlfs, f2fs, ext4), core
networking code, and then core kernel and mm updates.

Anyway, none of it looks hugely unusual. The biggest single mention
probably goes to what wasn't merged, with the bcachefs pull request
resulting in a long thread (we didn't hit a hundred emails yet, but
it's not far away).

Let's calm this party down. I have this slight suspicion that this may
be one of those releases that may drag out, not because there are any
particular issues I expect problems with, but simply due to lot of
Europe going on vacation for the month of August. But who knows...
We'll see how things develop.

And below is obviously just the usual shortlog of my merges, since at
around 12k non-merge commits, the full shortlog is much too big (even
if this was a fairly small merge window).
