Linus Torvalds 8bbe0dec38 x86 KVM changes:
* The usual accuracy improvements for nested virtualization
 * The usual round of code cleanups from Sean
 * Added back optimizations that were prematurely removed in 5.2
   (the bare minimum needed to fix the regression was in 5.3-rc8,
   here comes the rest)
 * Support for UMWAIT/UMONITOR/TPAUSE
 * Direct L2->L0 TLB flushing when L0 is Hyper-V and L1 is KVM
 * Tell Windows guests if SMT is disabled on the host
 * More accurate detection of vmexit cost
 * Revert a pvqspinlock pessimization

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.
