Linus Torvalds 974aa5630b First batch of KVM changes for 4.15
Common:
  - Python 3 support in kvm_stat
 
  - Accounting of slabs to kmemcg
 
 ARM:
  - Optimized arch timer handling for KVM/ARM
 
  - Improvements to the VGIC ITS code and introduction of an ITS reset
    ioctl
 
  - Unification of the 32-bit fault injection logic
 
  - More exact external abort matching logic
 
 PPC:
  - Support for running hashed page table (HPT) MMU mode on a host that
    is using the radix MMU mode;  single threaded mode on POWER 9 is
    added as a pre-requisite
 
  - Resolution of merge conflicts with the last second 4.14 HPT fixes
 
  - Fixes and cleanups
 
 s390:
  - Some initial preparation patches for exitless interrupts and crypto
 
  - New capability for AIS migration
 
  - Fixes
 
 x86:
  - Improved emulation of LAPIC timer mode changes, MCi_STATUS MSRs, and
    after-reset state
 
  - Refined dependencies for VMX features
 
  - Fixes for nested SMI injection
 
  - A lot of cleanups

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.
