KVM/arm64 updates for 6.4 - Numerous fixes for the pathological lock inversion issue that plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever. - New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features being moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel. - Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one. This last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on top. - A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything affecting the EL1&0 translation regime just after having having taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&0 have completed. - The usual selftest fixes and improvements.
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.
