* kvm-arm64/mpidr-reset: : . : Fixes for CLIDR_EL1 and MPIDR_EL1 being accidentally mutable across : a vcpu reset, courtesy of Oliver. From the cover letter: : : "For VM-wide feature ID registers we ensure they get initialized once for : the lifetime of a VM. On the other hand, vCPU-local feature ID registers : get re-initialized on every vCPU reset, potentially clobbering the : values userspace set up. : : MPIDR_EL1 and CLIDR_EL1 are the only registers in this space that we : allow userspace to modify for now. Clobbering the value of MPIDR_EL1 has : some disastrous side effects as the compressed index used by the : MPIDR-to-vCPU lookup table assumes MPIDR_EL1 is immutable after KVM_RUN. : : Series + reproducer test case to address the problem of KVM wiping out : userspace changes to these registers. Note that there are still some : differences between VM and vCPU scoped feature ID registers from the : perspective of userspace. We do not allow the value of VM-scope : registers to change after KVM_RUN, but vCPU registers remain mutable." : .

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 reStructuredText 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.
