without OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD. This fixes a warning
"Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!" when running
KVM selftests.
* Fix a mostly benign bug in the gfn_to_pfn_cache infrastructure where KVM
would allow userspace to refresh the cache with a bogus GPA. The bug has
existed for quite some time, but was exposed by a new sanity check added in
6.9 (to ensure a cache is either GPA-based or HVA-based).
* Drop an unused param from gfn_to_pfn_cache_invalidate_start() that got left
behind during a 6.9 cleanup.
* Fix a math goof in x86's hugepage logic for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES that
results in an array overflow (detected by KASAN).
* Fix a bug where KVM incorrectly clears root_role.direct when userspace sets
guest CPUID.
* Fix a dirty logging bug in the where KVM fails to write-protect SPTEs used
by a nested guest, if KVM is using Page-Modification Logging and the nested
hypervisor is NOT using EPT.
x86 PMU:
* Drop support for virtualizing adaptive PEBS, as KVM's implementation is
architecturally broken without an obvious/easy path forward, and because
exposing adaptive PEBS can leak host LBRs to the guest, i.e. can leak
host kernel addresses to the guest.
* Set the enable bits for general purpose counters in PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL at
RESET time, as done by both Intel and AMD processors.
* Disable LBR virtualization on CPUs that don't support LBR callstacks, as
KVM unconditionally uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL_STACK when creating the
perf event, and would fail on such CPUs.
Tests:
* Fix a flaw in the max_guest_memory selftest that results in it exhausting
the supply of ucall structures when run with more than 256 vCPUs.
* Mark KVM_MEM_READONLY as supported for RISC-V in set_memory_region_test.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"This is a bit on the large side, mostly due to two changes:
- Changes to disable some broken PMU virtualization (see below for
details under "x86 PMU")
- Clean up SVM's enter/exit assembly code so that it can be compiled
without OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD. This fixes a warning "Unpatched
return thunk in use. This should not happen!" when running KVM
selftests.
Everything else is small bugfixes and selftest changes:

README
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.
