Marc Zyngier 080612b294 Merge branch kvm-arm64/nv-timers into kvmarm-master/next
* kvm-arm64/nv-timers:
  : .
  : Nested Virt support for the EL2 timers. From the initial cover letter:
  :
  : "Here's another batch of NV-related patches, this time bringing in most
  : of the timer support for EL2 as well as nested guests.
  :
  : The code is pretty convoluted for a bunch of reasons:
  :
  : - FEAT_NV2 breaks the timer semantics by redirecting HW controls to
  :   memory, meaning that a guest could setup a timer and never see it
  :   firing until the next exit
  :
  : - We go try hard to reflect the timer state in memory, but that's not
  :   great.
  :
  : - With FEAT_ECV, we can finally correctly emulate the virtual timer,
  :   but this emulation is pretty costly
  :
  : - As a way to make things suck less, we handle timer reads as early as
  :   possible, and only defer writes to the normal trap handling
  :
  : - Finally, some implementations are badly broken, and require some
  :   hand-holding, irrespective of NV support. So we try and reuse the NV
  :   infrastructure to make them usable. This could be further optimised,
  :   but I'm running out of patience for this sort of HW.
  :
  : [...]"

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.
