* New features:
- Add large stage-2 mapping support for non-protected pKVM guests,
clawing back some performance.
- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE and
protected modes.
- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it
(yes, it has been a long time coming), though it is disabled by
default.
* Improvements, fixes and cleanups:
- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. This ensures correctness of
emulation (the data is automatically extracted from the published
JSON files), and helps dealing with the evolution of the
architecture.
- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.
- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules
- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.
- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.
- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.
- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.
- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.
- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.
- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.
- and the usual random cleanups.

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.
