Linus Torvalds 4138f02288 VFIO updates for v6.9-rc1
- Add warning in unlikely case that device is not captured with
    driver_override. (Kunwu Chan)
 
  - Error handling improvements in mlx5-vfio-pci to detect firmware
    tracking object error states, logging of firmware error syndrom,
    and releasing of firmware resources in aborted migration sequence.
    (Yishai Hadas)
 
  - Correct an un-alphabetized VFIO MAINTAINERS entry.
    (Alex Williamson)
 
  - Make the mdev_bus_type const and also make the class struct const
    for a couple of the vfio-mdev sample drivers. (Ricardo B. Marliere)
 
  - Addition of a new vfio-pci variant driver for the GPU of NVIDIA's
    Grace-Hopper superchip.  During initialization of the chip-to-chip
    interconnect in this hardware module, the PCI BARs of the device
    become unused in favor of a faster, coherent mechanism for exposing
    device memory.  This driver primarily changes the VFIO
    representation of the device to masquerade this coherent aperture
    to replace the physical PCI BARs for userspace drivers.  This also
    incorporates use of a new vma flag allowing KVM to use write
    combining attributes for uncached device memory.  (Ankit Agrawal)
 
  - Reset fixes and cleanups for the pds-vfio-pci driver.  Save and
    restore files were previously leaked if the device didn't pass
    through an error state, this is resolved and later re-fixed to
    prevent access to the now freed files.  Reset handling is also
    refactored to remove the complicated deferred reset mechanism.
    (Brett Creeley)
 
  - Remove some references to pl330 in the vfio-platform amba
    driver. (Geert Uytterhoeven)
 
  - Remove twice redundant and ugly code to unpin incidental pins
    of the zero-page. (Alex Williamson)
 
  - Deferred reset logic is also removed from the hisi-acc-vfio-pci
    driver as a simplification. (Shameer Kolothum)
 
  - Enforce that mlx5-vfio-pci devices must support PRE_COPY and
    remove resulting unnecessary code.  There is no device firmware
    that has been available publicly without this support.
    (Yishai Hadas)
 
  - Switch over to using the .remove_new callback for vfio-platform
    in support of the broader transition for a void remove function.
    (Uwe Kleine-König)
 
  - Resolve multiple issues in interrupt code for VFIO bus drivers
    that allow calling eventfd_signal() on a NULL context.  This
    also remove a potential race in INTx setup on certain hardware
    for vfio-pci, races with various mechanisms to mask INTx, and
    leaked virqfds in vfio-platform. (Alex Williamson)

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.
