Linus Torvalds 4217fdde34 KVM fixes for v4.12-rc2
ARM:
  - A fix for a build failure introduced in -rc1 when tracepoints are
    enabled on 32-bit ARM.
  - Disabling use of stack pointer protection in the hyp code which can
    cause panics.
  - A handful of VGIC fixes.
  - A fix to the init of the redistributors on GICv3 systems that
    prevented boot with kvmtool on GICv3 systems introduced in -rc1.
  - A number of race conditions fixed in our MMU handling code.
  - A fix for the guest being able to program the debug extensions for
    the host on the 32-bit side.
 
 PPC:
  - Fixes for build failures with PR KVM configurations.
  - A fix for a host crash that can occur on POWER9 with radix guests.
 
 x86:
  - Fixes for nested PML and nested EPT.
  - A fix for crashes caused by reserved bits in SSE MXCSR that could
    have been set by userspace.
  - An optimization of halt polling that fixes high CPU overhead.
  - Fixes for four reports from Dan Carpenter's static checker.
  - A protection around code that shouldn't have been preemptible.
  - A fix for port IO emulation.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
