Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Yet another set of documentation changes:

   - A reworking of PDF generation to yield better results for documents
     using CJK fonts in particular.

   - A new set of translations into traditional Chinese, a dialect for
     which I am assured there is a community of interested readers.

   - A lot more regular Chinese translation work as well.

  ... plus the usual assortment of updates, fixes, typo tweaks, etc"

Core scheduling cannot protect against MDS attacks between an HT running in
user mode and another running in kernel mode. Even though both HTs run tasks
which trust each other, kernel memory is still considered untrusted. Such
attacks are possible for any combination of sibling CPU modes (host or guest mode).
Core scheduling cannot protect against MDS attacks between the siblings
running in user mode and the others running in kernel mode. Even though all

Sometimes SysRq seems to get 'stuck' after using it, what can I do?

That happens to me, also. I've found that tapping shift, alt, and control
on both sides of the keyboard, and hitting an invalid sysrq sequence again
will fix the problem. (i.e., something like :kbd:`alt-sysrq-z`). Switching to
another virtual console (:kbd:`ALT+Fn`) and then back again should also help.

I hit SysRq, but nothing seems to happen, what's wrong?
