Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86:
- Fixes for Xen emulation. While nobody should be enabling it in the
kernel (the only public users of the feature are the selftests),
the bug effectively allows userspace to read arbitrary memory.
- Correctness fixes for nested hypervisors that do not intercept INIT
or SHUTDOWN on AMD; the subsequent CPU reset can cause a
use-after-free when it disables virtualization extensions. While
downgrading the panic to a WARN is quite easy, the full fix is a
bit more laborious; there are also tests. This is the bulk of the
pull request.
- Fix race condition due to incorrect mmu_lock use around
make_mmu_pages_available().
Generic:
- Obey changes to the kvm.halt_poll_ns module parameter in VMs not
using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL, restoring behavior from before the
introduction of the capability"

============
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.
