KVM/arm64 updates for 6.2 - Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are dirtied by something other than a vcpu. - Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay page table reclaim and giving better performance under load. - Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on. - Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the hypervisor to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state private. - Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that actually exist out there. - Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB pages only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB pages. - Add/Enable/Fix a bunch of selftests covering memslots, breakpoints, stage-2 faults and access tracking. You name it, we got it, we probably broke it. - Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no good merge window would be complete without those. As a side effect, this tag also drags: - The 'kvmarm-fixes-6.1-3' tag as a dependency to the dirty-ring series - A shared branch with the arm64 tree that repaints all the system registers to match the ARM ARM's naming, and resulting in interesting conflicts
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.
