Linus Torvalds dd3e4012dd - Fix guest vtime accounting so that ticks happening while the guest is running
can also be accounted to it. Along with a consolidation to the guest-specific context
 tracking helpers.
 
 - Provide for the host NMI handler running after a VMX VMEXIT to be able to run
 on the kernel stack correctly.
 
 - Initialize MSR_TSC_AUX when RDPID is supported and not RDTSCP (virt relevant -
   real hw supports both)
 
 - A code generation improvement to TASK_SIZE_MAX through the use of alternatives
 
 - The usual misc. and related cleanups and improvements

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.
