* Fixes and debugging help for the #VE sanity check. Also disable it by default, even for CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, because it was found to trigger spuriously (most likely a processor erratum as the exact symptoms vary by generation). * Avoid WARN() when two NMIs arrive simultaneously during an NMI-disabled situation (GIF=0 or interrupt shadow) when the processor supports virtual NMI. While generally KVM will not request an NMI window when virtual NMIs are supported, in this case it *does* have to single-step over the interrupt shadow or enable the STGI intercept, in order to deliver the latched second NMI. * Drop support for hand tuning APIC timer advancement from userspace. Since we have adaptive tuning, and it has proved to work well, drop the module parameter for manual configuration and with it a few stupid bugs that it had.
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 reStructuredText 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.
