Linux kernel source tree
361da275e5
The immediate issue being fixed here is a nVMX bug where KVM fails to detect that, after nested VM-Exit, L1 has a pending IRQ (or NMI). However, checking for a pending interrupt accesses the legacy PIC, and x86's kvm_arch_destroy_vm() currently frees the PIC before destroying vCPUs, i.e. checking for IRQs during the forced nested VM-Exit results in a NULL pointer deref; that's a prerequisite for the nVMX fix. The remaining patches attempt to bring a bit of sanity to x86's VM teardown code, which has accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. E.g. KVM currently unloads each vCPU's MMUs in a separate operation from destroying vCPUs, all because when guest SMP support was added, KVM had a kludgy MMU teardown flow that broke when a VM had more than one 1 vCPU. And that oddity lived on, for 18 years... Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> |

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.
