Linus Torvalds c465fc11e5 KVM fixes for v4.15-rc3
ARM:
  * A number of issues in the vgic discovered using SMATCH
  * A bit one-off calculation in out stage base address mask (32-bit and
    64-bit)
  * Fixes to single-step debugging instructions that trap for other
    reasons such as MMMIO aborts
  * Printing unavailable hyp mode as error
  * Potential spinlock deadlock in the vgic
  * Avoid calling vgic vcpu free more than once
  * Broken bit calculation for big endian systems
 
 s390:
  * SPDX tags
  * Fence storage key accesses from problem state
  * Make sure that irq_state.flags is not used in the future
 
 x86:
  * Intercept port 0x80 accesses to prevent host instability (CVE)
  * Use userspace FPU context for guest FPU (mainly an optimization that
    fixes a double use of kernel FPU)
  * Do not leak one page per module load
  * Flush APIC page address cache from MMU invalidation notifiers

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.
