Linux kernel source tree

- Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally
allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of block splitting in the stage-2
fault path.
- Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact with
services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on FF-A calls
to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to the hyp or a
pKVM guest.
- Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as
'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split
hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases
that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2.
- Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace.
KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set configuration
from userspace, but the intent is to relax this limitation and allow
userspace to select a feature set consistent with the CPU.
- Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the
hypervisor.
- Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the hypervisor
when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted at runtime.
- Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure
paths.
- Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization Traps
(FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace.
- Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has broken
hardware A/D state management.
As a consequence of the hVHE series reworking the arm64 software
features framework, the for-next/module-alloc branch from the arm64 tree
comes along for the ride.

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.
