x86 Xen-for-KVM: * Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary * Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured * add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll x86 fixes: * One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0). * Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped a few years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02. * Clean up the MSR filter docs. * Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that params must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64. * Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL irrespective of the current guest CPUID. * Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM incorrectly thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a CPU with a constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC frequency. * Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported * Remove unnecessary exports Selftests: * Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when running on bare metal. * Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent conversions to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard against similar bugs in the future. Anything that tiggers caching of KVM's supported CPUID, kvm_cpu_has() in this case, effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if the caching occurs before the test opts in via prctl(). * Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what is unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message. * Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests Documentation: * Remove deleted ioctls from documentation * Various fixes
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.
