Linux kernel source tree

Wrap all reads of GHCB save fields with READ_ONCE() via a KVM-specific
GHCB get() utility to help guard against TOCTOU bugs. Using READ_ONCE()
doesn't completely prevent such bugs, e.g. doesn't prevent KVM from
redoing get() after checking the initial value, but at least addresses
all potential TOCTOU issues in the current KVM code base.
To prevent unintentional use of the generic helpers, take only @svm for
the kvm_ghcb_get_xxx() helpers and retrieve the ghcb instead of explicitly
passing it in.
Opportunistically reduce the indentation of the macro-defined helpers and
clean up the alignment.

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.
