Linus Torvalds 1609d7604b The main change here is a revert of reverts. We recently simplified some
code that was thought unnecessary; however, since then KVM has grown quite
 a few cond_resched()s and for that reason the simplified code is prone to
 livelocks---one CPUs tries to empty a list of guest page tables while the
 others keep adding to them.  This adds back the generation-based zapping of
 guest page tables, which was not unnecessary after all.
 
 On top of this, there is a fix for a kernel memory leak and a couple of
 s390 fixlets as well.

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 Restructured Text 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.
