ARM:
- Include icache invalidation optimizations, improving VM startup time
- Support for forwarded level-triggered interrupts, improving
performance for timers and passthrough platform devices
- A small fix for power-management notifiers, and some cosmetic changes
PPC:
- Add MMIO emulation for vector loads and stores
- Allow HPT guests to run on a radix host on POWER9 v2.2 CPUs without
requiring the complex thread synchronization of older CPU versions
- Improve the handling of escalation interrupts with the XIVE interrupt
controller
- Support decrement register migration
- Various cleanups and bugfixes.
s390:
- Cornelia Huck passed maintainership to Janosch Frank
- Exitless interrupts for emulated devices
- Cleanup of cpuflag handling
- kvm_stat counter improvements
- VSIE improvements
- mm cleanup
x86:
- Hypervisor part of SEV
- UMIP, RDPID, and MSR_SMI_COUNT emulation
- Paravirtualized TLB shootdown using the new KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED bit
- Allow guests to see TOPOEXT, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, and more AVX512
features
- Show vcpu id in its anonymous inode name
- Many fixes and cleanups
- Per-VCPU MSR bitmaps (already merged through x86/pti branch)
- Stable KVM clock when nesting on Hyper-V (merged through x86/hyperv)

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.
