Pull xen fixes from Juergen Gross:
"This contains the following fixes/cleanups:
- the removal of a BUG_ON() which wasn't necessary and which could
trigger now due to a recent change
- a correction of a long standing bug happening very rarely in Xen
dom0 when a hypercall buffer from user land was not accessible by
the hypervisor for very short periods of time due to e.g. page
migration or compaction
- usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL() in a
Xen-related driver (no breakage possible as using those symbols
without others already exported via EXPORT-SYMBOL_GPL() wouldn't
make any sense)
- a simplification for Xen PVH or Xen ARM guests
- some additional error handling for callers of xenbus_printf()"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
