[$] The rest of the 6.17 merge window

The 6.17-rc1 prepatch was released by
Linus Torvalds on August 10; the 6.17 merge window is now closed.
There were 11,404 non-merge changesets pulled into the mainline this time
around, a little over 7,000 of which came in after the first-half merge-window summary was
written. As one would expect, quite a few changes and new features were
included in that work.
