Linus Torvalds c46e8ece96 Selftest changes:
* Cleanups for the perf test infrastructure and mapping hugepages
 
 * Avoid contention on mmap_sem when the guests start to run
 
 * Add event channel upcall support to xen_shinfo_test
 
 x86 changes:
 
 * Fixes for Xen emulation
 
 * Kill kvm_map_gfn() / kvm_unmap_gfn() and broken gfn_to_pfn_cache
 
 * Fixes for migration of 32-bit nested guests on 64-bit hypervisor
 
 * Compilation fixes
 
 * More SEV cleanups
 
 Generic:
 
 * Cap the return value of KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS to both KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS
 and num_online_cpus().  Most architectures were only using one of the two.

README

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.
