Heiko Carstens 232b8e3b1d KVM: s390: remove change-recording override support
Change-recording override (CO) was never implemented in any
machine. According to the architecture it is unpredictable if a
translation-specification exception will be recognized if the bit is
set and EDAT1 does not apply.
Therefore the easiest solution is to simply ignore the bit.

This also fixes commit cd1836f583 ("KVM: s390:
instruction-execution-protection support"). A guest may enable
instruction-execution-protection (IEP) but not EDAT1. In such a case
the guest_translate() function (arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.c) will report a
specification exception on pages that have the IEP bit set while it
should not.

It might make sense to add full IEP support to guest_translate() and
the GACC_IFETCH case. However, as far as I can tell the GACC_IFETCH
case is currently only used after an instruction was executed in order
to fetch the failing instruction. So there is no additional problem
*currently*.

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.
