Linus Torvalds 0756b7fbb6 First batch of KVM changes for 4.14
Common:
  - improve heuristic for boosting preempted spinlocks by ignoring VCPUs
    in user mode
 
 ARM:
  - fix for decoding external abort types from guests
 
  - added support for migrating the active priority of interrupts when
    running a GICv2 guest on a GICv3 host
 
  - minor cleanup
 
 PPC:
  - expose storage keys to userspace
 
  - merge powerpc/topic/ppc-kvm branch that contains
    find_linux_pte_or_hugepte and POWER9 thread management cleanup
 
  - merge kvm-ppc-fixes with a fix that missed 4.13 because of vacations
 
  - fixes
 
 s390:
  - merge of topic branch tlb-flushing from the s390 tree to get the
    no-dat base features
 
  - merge of kvm/master to avoid conflicts with additional sthyi fixes
 
  - wire up the no-dat enhancements in KVM
 
  - multiple epoch facility (z14 feature)
 
  - Configuration z/Architecture Mode
 
  - more sthyi fixes
 
  - gdb server range checking fix
 
  - small code cleanups
 
 x86:
  - emulate Hyper-V TSC frequency MSRs
 
  - add nested INVPCID
 
  - emulate EPTP switching VMFUNC
 
  - support Virtual GIF
 
  - support 5 level page tables
 
  - speedup nested VM exits by packing byte operations
 
  - speedup MMIO by using hardware provided physical address
 
  - a lot of fixes and cleanups, especially nested

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
