Paolo Bonzini 7fd55a02a4 KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 5.16
- Simplification of the 'vcpu first run' by integrating it into
   KVM's 'pid change' flow
 
 - Refactoring of the FP and SVE state tracking, also leading to
   a simpler state and less shared data between EL1 and EL2 in
   the nVHE case
 
 - Tidy up the header file usage for the nvhe hyp object
 
 - New HYP unsharing mechanism, finally allowing pages to be
   unmapped from the Stage-1 EL2 page-tables
 
 - Various pKVM cleanups around refcounting and sharing
 
 - A couple of vgic fixes for bugs that would trigger once
   the vcpu xarray rework is merged, but not sooner
 
 - Add minimal support for ARMv8.7's PMU extension
 
 - Rework kvm_pgtable initialisation ahead of the NV work
 
 - New selftest for IRQ injection
 
 - Teach selftests about the lack of default IPA space and
   page sizes
 
 - Expand sysreg selftest to deal with Pointer Authentication
 
 - The usual bunch of cleanups and doc update

README

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.
