Paolo Bonzini e5f62e27b1 KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 6.10
- Move a lot of state that was previously stored on a per vcpu
   basis into a per-CPU area, because it is only pertinent to the
   host while the vcpu is loaded. This results in better state
   tracking, and a smaller vcpu structure.
 
 - Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in
   nested virtualisation. The last two instructions also require
   emulating part of the pointer authentication extension.
   As a result, the trap handling of pointer authentication has
   been greattly simplified.
 
 - Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache
   into a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected
   LPIs much cheaper to make visible to the vcpu.
 
 - A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the
   upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed!
 
 - Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing
   for smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing
   more or less than 32 private IRQs.
 
 - Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR
   map has been created.
 
 - Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset.
 
 - Various minor 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 reStructuredText 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.
