Well, we're a week away from the merge window close, and here's rc2.
Things look fairly normal, but honestly, rc2 is usually too early to
tell.  People haven't necessarily had time to notice problems yet.
Which is just another way of saying "please test harder".

Nothing particularly stands out. Yes, we had some fixes for the new
io_ring code for issues that were discussed when merging it. Other
than that, worth noting is that the bulk of the patches are for
tooling, not the core kernel. In fact, about two thirds of the patch
is just for the tools/ subdirectory, most of it due to some late perf
tool updates. The people involved promise they're done.

Hmph.  I'm still looking for the patch that restores the various
CONFIG_DEFAULT_<security> kconfig options to be merged.

since commit 70b62c25665f636c9f6c700b26af7df296b0887e dropped them somehow.

AFAICT we don't have a finalized version of the patch yet.

Kees?
