* Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance. * Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it, though it is disabled by default. * Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE and protected modes. * Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps dealing with the evolution of the architecture. * Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages, avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above. * New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules * Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests even if the host didn't have it. * Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be rather buggy in some specific contexts. * Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a number of issues in the process. * Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a guest. * Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW. * Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2 are heavily synchronised. * Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS tables in a human-friendly fashion. * and the usual random cleanups. LoongArch: * Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks. * Add KVM selftests support. RISC-V: * Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest * VCPU reset related improvements * Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset * Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl x86: * Initial support for TDX in KVM. This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large series, including support for private page tables (managed by the TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from the TDX module. This has been in the works for literally years and it's not really possible to describe everything here, so I'll defer to the various merge commits up to and including commit |

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.
