Linus Torvalds 13b6931c44 - A segmented Reverse Map table (RMP) is a across-nodes distributed
table of sorts which contains per-node descriptors of each node-local
   4K page, denoting its ownership (hypervisor, guest, etc) in the realm
   of confidential computing.  Add support for such a table in order to
   improve referential locality when accessing or modifying RMP table
   entries
 
 - Add support for reading the TSC in SNP guests by removing any
   interference or influence the hypervisor might have, with the goal of
   making a confidential guest even more independent from the hypervisor

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.
