Paolo Bonzini add20321af KVM x86 fixes for 6.15-rcN
- Forcibly leave SMM on SHUTDOWN interception on AMD CPUs to avoid causing
    problems due to KVM stuffing INIT on SHUTDOWN (KVM needs to sanitize the
    VMCB as its state is undefined after SHUTDOWN, emulating INIT is the
    least awful choice).
 
  - Track the valid sync/dirty fields in kvm_run as a u64 to ensure KVM
    KVM doesn't goof a sanity check in the future.
 
  - Free obsolete roots when (re)loading the MMU to fix a bug where
    pre-faulting memory can get stuck due to always encountering a stale
    root.
 
  - When dumping GHCB state, use KVM's snapshot instead of the raw GHCB page
    to print state, so that KVM doesn't print stale/wrong information.
 
  - When changing memory attributes (e.g. shared <=> private), add potential
    hugepage ranges to the mmu_invalidate_range_{start,end} set so that KVM
    doesn't create a shared/private hugepage when the the corresponding
    attributes will become mixed (the attributes are commited *after* KVM
    finishes the invalidation).
 
  - Rework the SRSO mitigation to enable BP_SPEC_REDUCE only when KVM has at
    least one active VM.  Effectively BP_SPEC_REDUCE when KVM is loaded led
    to very measurable performance regressions for non-KVM workloads.

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.
