Paolo Bonzini d1e7b4613e KVM VMX changes for 6.19:
- Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of the
    current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to pave the
    way for tracking per-root TLB flushes so that KVM can elide EPT flushes on
    pCPU migration if KVM has flushed the root at least once.
 
  - Add a few missing nested consistency checks.
 
  - Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware as the
    functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer useful in general,
    and replace it with an off-by-default module param to detected missed
    consistency checks (i.e. WARN if hardware finds a check that KVM does not).
 
  - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
    on VM-Enter.
 
  - Misc cleanups.

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.
