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.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Two bugfixes"
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm:
KVM: VMX: update PFEC_MASK/PFEC_MATCH together with PF intercept
KVM: arm64: Restore missing ISB on nVHE __tlb_switch_to_guest
Pull xen fix from Juergen Gross:
"Fix a regression introduced in 5.9-rc3 which caused a system running
as fully virtualized guest under Xen to crash when using legacy
devices like a floppy"

KVM/arm64 fixes for 5.9, take #3
- Fix synchronization of VTTBR update on TLB invalidation for nVHE systems
Pull USB/PHY fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are some small USB and PHY driver fixes for 5.9-rc8
The PHY driver fix resolves an issue found by Dan Carpenter for a
memory leak.
The USB fixes fall into two groups:
- usb gadget fix from Bryan that is a fix for a previous security fix
that showed up in in-the-wild testing
- usb core driver matching bugfixes. This fixes a bug that has
plagued the both the usbip driver and syzbot testing tools this -rc
release cycle. All is now working properly so usbip connections
will work, and syzbot can get back to fuzzing USB drivers properly.
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

Since commit c330fb1ddc0a ("XEN uses irqdesc::irq_data_common::handler_data to store a per interrupt XEN data pointer which contains XEN specific information.")
Xen is using the chip_data pointer for storing IRQ specific data. When
running as a HVM domain this can result in problems for legacy IRQs, as
those might use chip_data for their own purposes.
Use a local array for this purpose in case of legacy IRQs, avoiding the
double use.

The PFEC_MASK and PFEC_MATCH fields in the VMCS reverse the meaning of
the #PF intercept bit in the exception bitmap when they do not match.
This means that, if PFEC_MASK and/or PFEC_MATCH are set, the
hypervisor can get a vmexit for #PF exceptions even when the
corresponding bit is clear in the exception bitmap.
This is unexpected and is promptly detected by a WARN_ON_ONCE.
To fix it, reset PFEC_MASK and PFEC_MATCH when the #PF intercept
is disabled (as is common with enable_ept && !allow_smaller_maxphyaddr).

Commit a0e50aa3f4a8 ("KVM: arm64: Factor out stage 2 page table
data from struct kvm") dropped the ISB after __load_guest_stage2(),
only leaving the one that is required when the speculative AT
workaround is in effect.
As Andrew points it: "This alternative is 'backwards' to avoid a
double ISB as there is one in __load_guest_stage2 when the workaround
is active."
Restore the missing ISB, conditionned on the AT workaround not being
active.

The INVD instruction intercept performs emulation. Emulation can't be done
on an SEV guest because the guest memory is encrypted.
Provide a dedicated intercept routine for the INVD intercept. And since
the instruction is emulated as a NOP, just skip it instead.

Now that kvm_vcpu_trap_is_write_fault() checks for S1PTW, there
is no need for kvm_vcpu_dabt_iswrite() to do the same thing, as
we already check for this condition on all existing paths.
Drop the check and add a comment instead.
