 - Add a mitigation for a cache coherency vulnerability when running an
   SNP guest which makes sure all cache lines belonging to a 4K page are
   evicted after latter has been converted to a guest-private page

[ SNP: Secure Nested Paging - not to be confused with Single Nucleotide
  Polymorphism, which is the more common use of that TLA. I am on a
  mission to write out the more obscure TLAs in order to keep track of
  them.

  Because while math tells us that there are only about 17k different
  combinations of three-letter acronyms using English letters (26^3), I
  am convinced that somehow Intel, AMD and ARM have together figured out
  new mathematics, and have at least a million different TLAs that they
  use.   - Linus ]

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.
