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.

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.7, take #1
- Avoid mapping vLPIs that have already been mapped
Before performing a map, let's check whether the vLPI has been
mapped.

In both cases, the fortification logic inteprets calls to 'memcpy()' as an
attempts to copy an amount of data which exceeds the size of the specified
field (i.e. more than 8 bytes from __le64 value) and thus issues an overread
warning. Both of these warnings may be silenced by using the convenient
'struct_group()' quirk.

Pull parisc architecture fixes from Helge Deller:
- Include the upper 5 address bits when inserting TLB entries on a
64-bit kernel.
On physical machines those are ignored, but in qemu it's nice to have
them included and to be correct.
- Stop the 64-bit kernel and show a warning if someone tries to boot on
a machine with a 32-bit CPU
- Fix a "no previous prototype" warning in parport-gsc

Pull vfio fixes from Alex Williamson:
- Fix the lifecycle of a mutex in the pds variant driver such that a
reset prior to opening the device won't find it uninitialized.
Implement the release path to symmetrically destroy the mutex. Also
switch a different lock from spinlock to mutex as the code path has
the potential to sleep and doesn't need the spinlock context
otherwise (Brett Creeley)
- Fix an issue detected via randconfig where KVM tries to symbol_get an
undeclared function. The symbol is temporarily declared
unconditionally here, which resolves the problem and avoids churn
relative to a series pending for the next merge window which resolves
some of this symbol ugliness, but also fixes Kconfig dependencies
(Sean Christopherson)

Before running a guest, the host process (e.g., QEMU) FP/VEC registers
are saved if they were being used, similarly to when the kernel uses FP
registers. The guest values are then loaded into regs, and the host
process registers will be restored lazily when it uses FP/VEC.
KVM HV has a bug here: the host process registers do get saved, but the
user MSR bits remain enabled, which indicates the registers are valid
for the process. After they are clobbered by running the guest, this
valid indication causes the host process to take on the FP/VEC register
values of the guest.
