Linus Torvalds 81576a9a27 ARM64:
* Fix confusion with implicitly-shifted MDCR_EL2 masks breaking
   SPE/TRBE initialization.
 
 * Align nested page table walker with the intended memory attribute
   combining rules of the architecture.
 
 * Prevent userspace from constraining the advertised ASID width,
   avoiding horrors of guest TLBIs not matching the intended context in
   hardware.
 
 * Don't leak references on LPIs when insertion into the translation
   cache fails.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 * Replace csr_write() with csr_set() for HVIEN PMU overflow bit.
 
 x86:
 
 * Cache CPUID.0xD XSTATE offsets+sizes during module init - On Intel's
   Emerald Rapids CPUID costs hundreds of cycles and there are a lot of
   leaves under 0xD.  Getting rid of the CPUIDs during nested VM-Enter and
   VM-Exit is planned for the next release, for now just cache them: even
   on Skylake that is 40% faster.

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.
