Build and Boot Report  6.18.23-rc1

I built and tested Linux kernel version 6.18.23 using the default configurations
on both x86_64 and arm64 architectures in a virtualized environment.

The kernel compiled successfully on both architectures and booted
without issues.
I did not observe any regressions or new warnings in dmesg during boot.

Kernel version: 6.18.23-rc1
Configurations tested: x86_64_defconfig, defconfig
Architectures tested: x86_64, arm64
Kernel source: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git
Commit: c600baa82c20a9a0840400b7f5117753647ff9d7

Boot-tested under QEMU for Rust x86_64, arm64 and riscv64; built-tested
for loongarch64:

(arm 32-bit seems to build-test fine as well. Same for UML x86_64 on
a non-debug configuration.)
