Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"KVM GUEST_MEMFD fixes for 6.8:
- Make KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD mutually exclusive with KVM_MEM_READONLY
to avoid creating an inconsistent ABI (KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD is not
writable from userspace, so there would be no way to write to a
read-only guest_memfd).
- Update documentation for KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM to make it abundantly
clear that such VMs are purely for development and testing.
- Limit KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM guests to the TDP MMU, as the long term
plan is to support confidential VMs with deterministic private
memory (SNP and TDX) only in the TDP MMU.
- Fix a bug in a GUEST_MEMFD dirty logging test that caused false
passes.
x86 fixes:
- Fix missing marking of a guest page as dirty when emulating an
atomic access.
- Check for mmu_notifier invalidation events before faulting in the
pfn, and before acquiring mmu_lock, to avoid unnecessary work and
lock contention with preemptible kernels (including
CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC in non-preemptible mode).
- Disable AMD DebugSwap by default, it breaks VMSA signing and will
be re-enabled with a better VM creation API in 6.10.
- Do the cache flush of converted pages in svm_register_enc_region()
before dropping kvm->lock, to avoid a race with unregistering of
the same region and the consequent use-after-free issue"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
