Linus Torvalds ef688f8b8c The first batch of KVM patches, mostly covering x86, which I
am sending out early due to me travelling next week.  There is a
 lone mm patch for which Andrew gave an informal ack at
 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220817102500.440c6d0a3fce296fdf91bea6@linux-foundation.org.
 
 I will send the bulk of ARM work, as well as other
 architectures, at the end of next week.
 
 ARM:
 
 * Account stage2 page table allocations in memory stats.
 
 x86:
 
 * Account EPT/NPT arm64 page table allocations in memory stats.
 
 * Tracepoint cleanups/fixes for nested VM-Enter and emulated MSR accesses.
 
 * Drop eVMCS controls filtering for KVM on Hyper-V, all known versions of
   Hyper-V now support eVMCS fields associated with features that are
   enumerated to the guest.
 
 * Use KVM's sanitized VMCS config as the basis for the values of nested VMX
   capabilities MSRs.
 
 * A myriad event/exception fixes and cleanups.  Most notably, pending
   exceptions morph into VM-Exits earlier, as soon as the exception is
   queued, instead of waiting until the next vmentry.  This fixed
   a longstanding issue where the exceptions would incorrecly become
   double-faults instead of triggering a vmexit; the common case of
   page-fault vmexits had a special workaround, but now it's fixed
   for good.
 
 * A handful of fixes for memory leaks in error paths.
 
 * Cleanups for VMREAD trampoline and VMX's VM-Exit assembly flow.
 
 * Never write to memory from non-sleepable kvm_vcpu_check_block()
 
 * Selftests refinements and cleanups.
 
 * Misc typo cleanups.
 
 Generic:
 
 * remove KVM_REQ_UNHALT

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.
