Sean Christopherson 71fe70130d KVM: x86/mmu: Add module param to force TLB flush on root reuse
Add a module param, flush_on_reuse, to override skip_tlb_flush and
skip_mmu_sync when performing a so called "fast cr3 switch", i.e. when
reusing a cached root.  The primary motiviation for the control is to
provide a fallback mechanism in the event that TLB flushing and/or MMU
sync bugs are exposed/introduced by upcoming changes to stop
unconditionally flushing on nested VMX transitions.

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.
