Linus Torvalds e61cf2e3a5 Minor code cleanups for PPC.
For x86 this brings in PCID emulation and CR3 caching for shadow page
 tables, nested VMX live migration, nested VMCS shadowing, an optimized
 IPI hypercall, and some optimizations.
 
 ARM will come next week.
 
 There is a semantic conflict because tip also added an .init_platform
 callback to kvm.c.  Please keep the initializer from this branch,
 and add a call to kvmclock_init (added by tip) inside kvm_init_platform
 (added here).
 
 Also, there is a backmerge from 4.18-rc6.  This is because of a
 refactoring that conflicted with a relatively late bugfix and
 resulted in a particularly hellish conflict.  Because the conflict
 was only due to unfortunate timing of the bugfix, I backmerged and
 rebased the refactoring rather than force the resolution on you.

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.
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.
