Linux kernel stable tree
b4845bb638
Add generic hypercall functions usable for all normal (i.e. not iret) hypercalls. Depending on the guest type and the processor vendor different functions need to be used due to the to be used instruction for entering the hypervisor: - PV guests need to use syscall - HVM/PVH guests on Intel need to use vmcall - HVM/PVH guests on AMD and Hygon need to use vmmcall As PVH guests need to issue hypercalls very early during boot, there is a 4th hypercall function needed for HVM/PVH which can be used on Intel and AMD processors. It will check the vendor type and then set the Intel or AMD specific function to use via static_call(). This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.

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.
