- Return -EIO instead of success when the certificate buffer for SEV
guests is not large enough.
- Allow STIPB to be enabled with legacy IBSR. Legacy IBRS is cleared on
return to userspace for performance reasons, but the leaves user space
vulnerable to cross-thread attacks which STIBP prevents. Update the
documentation accordingly.

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.
