Paolo Bonzini c9cd0beae9 KVM x86 misc changes for 6.9:
- Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the emulator that
    triggered KMSAN false positives (though in fairness in KMSAN, it's comically
    difficult to see that the uninitialized memory is never truly consumed).
 
  - Fix the deubgregs ABI for 32-bit KVM, and clean up code related to reading
    DR6 and DR7.
 
  - Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code ultimately
    decides how and when to force the exit.  This allows VMX to further optimize
    handling preemption timer exits, and allows SVM to avoid sending a duplicate
    IPI (SVM also has a need to force an exit).
 
  - Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left elevated if
    vCPU creation ultimately failed, and add WARN to guard against similar bugs.
 
  - Provide a dedicated arch hook for checking if a different vCPU was in-kernel
    (for directed yield), and simplify the logic for checking if the currently
    loaded vCPU is in-kernel.
 
  - Misc cleanups and fixes.

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 Restructured Text 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.
