Linus Torvalds b1fdbe77be KVM x86 fixes for 6.13:
- Disable AVIC on SNP-enabled systems that don't allow writes to the virtual
   APIC page, as such hosts will hit unexpected RMP #PFs in the host when
   running VMs of any flavor.
 
 - Fix a WARN in the hypercall completion path due to KVM trying to determine
   if a guest with protected register state is in 64-bit mode (KVM's ABI is to
   assume such guests only make hypercalls in 64-bit mode).
 
 - Allow the guest to write to supported bits in MSR_AMD64_DE_CFG to fix a
   regression with Windows guests, and because KVM's read-only behavior appears
   to be entirely made up.
 
 - Treat TDP MMU faults as spurious if the faulting access is allowed given the
   existing SPTE.  This fixes a benign WARN (other than the WARN itself) due to
   unexpectedly replacing a writable SPTE with a read-only SPTE.
 
 - Emit a warning when KVM is configured with ignore_msrs=1 and also to hide the
   MSRs that the guest is looking for from the kernel logs.  ignore_msrs can
   trick guests into assuming that certain processor features are present, and
   this in turn leads to bogus bug reports.

Pull KVM x86 fixes from Paolo Bonzini:

 - Disable AVIC on SNP-enabled systems that don't allow writes to the
   virtual APIC page, as such hosts will hit unexpected RMP #PFs in the
   host when running VMs of any flavor.

 - Fix a WARN in the hypercall completion path due to KVM trying to
   determine if a guest with protected register state is in 64-bit mode
   (KVM's ABI is to assume such guests only make hypercalls in 64-bit
   mode).

 - Allow the guest to write to supported bits in MSR_AMD64_DE_CFG to fix
   a regression with Windows guests, and because KVM's read-only
   behavior appears to be entirely made up.

 - Treat TDP MMU faults as spurious if the faulting access is allowed
   given the existing SPTE. This fixes a benign WARN (other than the
   WARN itself) due to unexpectedly replacing a writable SPTE with a
   read-only SPTE.

 - Emit a warning when KVM is configured with ignore_msrs=1 and also to
   hide the MSRs that the guest is looking for from the kernel logs.
   ignore_msrs can trick guests into assuming that certain processor
   features are present, and this in turn leads to bogus bug reports.

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.
