Linus Torvalds e2ee2e9b15 KVM/arm64 updates for 6.14
* New features:
 
   - Support for non-protected guest in protected mode, achieving near
     feature parity with the non-protected mode
 
   - Support for the EL2 timers as part of the ongoing NV support
 
   - Allow control of hardware tracing for nVHE/hVHE
 
 * Improvements, fixes and cleanups:
 
   - Massive cleanup of the debug infrastructure, making it a bit less
     awkward and definitely easier to maintain. This should pave the
     way for further optimisations
 
   - Complete rewrite of pKVM's fixed-feature infrastructure, aligning
     it with the rest of KVM and making the code easier to follow
 
   - Large simplification of pKVM's memory protection infrastructure
 
   - Better handling of RES0/RES1 fields for memory-backed system
     registers
 
   - Add a workaround for Qualcomm's Snapdragon X CPUs, which suffer
     from a pretty nasty timer bug
 
   - Small collection of cleanups and low-impact 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 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.
