KVM/arm64 updates for 6.3 - Provide a virtual cache topology to the guest to avoid inconsistencies with migration on heterogenous systems. Non secure software has no practical need to traverse the caches by set/way in the first place. - Add support for taking stage-2 access faults in parallel. This was an accidental omission in the original parallel faults implementation, but should provide a marginal improvement to machines w/o FEAT_HAFDBS (such as hardware from the fruit company). - A preamble to adding support for nested virtualization to KVM, including vEL2 register state, rudimentary nested exception handling and masking unsupported features for nested guests. - Fixes to the PSCI relay that avoid an unexpected host SVE trap when resuming a CPU when running pKVM. - VGIC maintenance interrupt support for the AIC - Improvements to the arch timer emulation, primarily aimed at reducing the trap overhead of running nested. - Add CONFIG_USERFAULTFD to the KVM selftests config fragment in the interest of CI systems. - Avoid VM-wide stop-the-world operations when a vCPU accesses its own redistributor. - Serialize when toggling CPACR_EL1.SMEN to avoid unexpected exceptions in the host. - Aesthetic and comment/kerneldoc fixes - Drop the vestiges of the old Columbia mailing list and add [Oliver] as co-maintainer This also drags in arm64's 'for-next/sme2' branch, because both it and the PSCI relay changes touch the EL2 initialization code.
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.
