KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 5.16 - Simplification of the 'vcpu first run' by integrating it into KVM's 'pid change' flow - Refactoring of the FP and SVE state tracking, also leading to a simpler state and less shared data between EL1 and EL2 in the nVHE case - Tidy up the header file usage for the nvhe hyp object - New HYP unsharing mechanism, finally allowing pages to be unmapped from the Stage-1 EL2 page-tables - Various pKVM cleanups around refcounting and sharing - A couple of vgic fixes for bugs that would trigger once the vcpu xarray rework is merged, but not sooner - Add minimal support for ARMv8.7's PMU extension - Rework kvm_pgtable initialisation ahead of the NV work - New selftest for IRQ injection - Teach selftests about the lack of default IPA space and page sizes - Expand sysreg selftest to deal with Pointer Authentication - The usual bunch of cleanups and doc update
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.
