Linus Torvalds 2d3e4866de * ARM: HYP mode stub supports kexec/kdump on 32-bit; improved PMU
support; virtual interrupt controller performance improvements; support
 for userspace virtual interrupt controller (slower, but necessary for
 KVM on the weird Broadcom SoCs used by the Raspberry Pi 3)
 
 * MIPS: basic support for hardware virtualization (ImgTec
 P5600/P6600/I6400 and Cavium Octeon III)
 
 * PPC: in-kernel acceleration for VFIO
 
 * s390: support for guests without storage keys; adapter interruption
 suppression
 
 * x86: usual range of nVMX improvements, notably nested EPT support for
 accessed and dirty bits; emulation of CPL3 CPUID faulting
 
 * generic: first part of VCPU thread request API; kvm_stat improvements

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
