Merge tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-coregrafted
Pull driver core fixes from Danilo Krummrich: - Fix kernfs listxattr() not returning security xattr names (e.g. SELinux labels) when the kernfs node has no allocated kernfs_iattrs - Fix silent truncation of IRQ vector indices in the Rust PCI abstractions - Don't select OF from DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST; skip the test when OF is disabled instead of silently enabling extra kernel functionality - Russ Weight is retiring from kernel development; update the Firmware Loader sysfs contact to the driver-core mailing list, add a CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload, and update MAINTAINERS accordingly * tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core: MAINTAINERS: Remove Russ Weight from Firmware Loader CREDITS: Add CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload firmware_loader: Change contact for sysfs nodes rust: pci: reject IRQ vector indices that do not fit in u32 kernfs: preserve security xattrs without allocating iattrs drivers: base: test: DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST should not select OF

+Configuring Git
+===============
+
+This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.
+
+Tagged branches used in pull requests (see
+Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst) should be signed with the
+developers public GPG key. Signed tags can be created by passing
+``-u <key-id>`` to ``git tag``. However, since you would *usually* use the same
+key for the project, you can set it in the configuration and use the ``-s``
+flag. To set the default ``key-id`` use::
+
+ git config user.signingkey "keyname"
+
+Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand::
+
+ [user]
+ name = Jane Developer
+ email = jd@domain.org
+ signingkey = jd@domain.org
+
+You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``::
+
+ [gpg]
+ program = /path/to/gpg2
+
+You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell
+rc file)::
+
+ export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
