Pull x86 PASID support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Reenable ENQCMD/PASID support:
- Simplify the PASID handling to allocate the PASID once, associate
it to the mm of a process and free it on mm_exit().
The previous attempt of refcounted PASIDs and dynamic
alloc()/free() turned out to be error prone and too complex. The
PASID space is 20bits, so the case of resource exhaustion is a pure
academic concern.
- Populate the PASID MSR on demand via #GP to avoid racy updates via
IPIs.
- Reenable ENQCMD and let objtool check for the forbidden usage of
ENQCMD in the kernel.
- Update the documentation for Shared Virtual Addressing accordingly"

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.
