Paolo Bonzini fcce7c1e7d KVM PV clock changes for 6.15:
- Don't take kvm->lock when iterating over vCPUs in the suspend notifier to
    fix a largely theoretical deadlock.
 
  - Use the vCPU's actual Xen PV clock information when starting the Xen timer,
    as the cached state in arch.hv_clock can be stale/bogus.
 
  - Fix a bug where KVM could bleed PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED across different
    PV clocks.
 
  - Restrict PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED to kvmclock, as KVM's suspend notifier only
    accounts for kvmclock, and there's no evidence that the flag is actually
    supported by Xen guests.
 
  - Clean up the per-vCPU "cache" of its reference pvclock, and instead only
    track the vCPU's TSC scaling (multipler+shift) metadata (which is moderately
    expensive to compute, and rarely changes for modern setups).

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.
