Linux kernel source tree

Fix a mostly-theoretical bug where ARM's ucall MMIO setup could result in different VMs stomping on each other by cloberring the global pointer. Fix the most obvious issue by saving the MMIO gpa into the VM. A more subtle bug is that creating VMs in parallel (on multiple tasks) could result in a VM using the wrong address. Synchronizing a global to a guest effectively snapshots the value on a per-VM basis, i.e. the "global" is already prepped to work with multiple VMs, but setting the global in the host is not thread-safe. To fix that bug, add write_guest_global() to allow stuffing a VM's copy of a "global" without modifying the host value.

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 Restructured Text 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.
