Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "The bulk of the changes here is a largish change to guest_memfd,
  delaying the clearing and encryption of guest-private pages until they
  are actually added to guest page tables. This started as "let's make
  it impossible to misuse the API" for SEV-SNP; but then it ballooned a
  bit.

  The new logic is generally simpler and more ready for hugepage support
  in guest_memfd.

  Summary:

   - fix latent bug in how usage of large pages is determined for
     confidential VMs

   - fix "underline too short" in docs

   - eliminate log spam from limited APIC timer periods

   - disallow pre-faulting of memory before SEV-SNP VMs are initialized

   - delay clearing and encrypting private memory until it is added to
     guest page tables

   - this change also enables another small cleanup: the checks in
     SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE that limit it to non-populated, private pages can
     now be moved in the common kvm_gmem_populate() function

   - fix compilation error that the RISC-V merge introduced in selftests"

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.
