KVM selftests treewide updates for 6.10: - Define _GNU_SOURCE for all selftests to fix a warning that was introduced by a change to kselftest_harness.h late in the 6.9 cycle, and because forcing every test to #define _GNU_SOURCE is painful. - Provide a global psuedo-RNG instance for all tests, so that library code can generate random, but determinstic numbers. - Use the global pRNG to randomly force emulation of select writes from guest code on x86, e.g. to help validate KVM's emulation of locked accesses. - Rename kvm_util_base.h back to kvm_util.h, as the weird layer of indirection was added purely to avoid manually #including ucall_common.h in a handful of locations. - Allocate and initialize x86's GDT, IDT, TSS, segments, and default exception handlers at VM creation, instead of forcing tests to manually trigger the related setup.
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 reStructuredText 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.
