Paolo Bonzini 1795f81f61 Second set of PPC KVM fixes for 4.19
Two fixes for KVM on POWER machines.  Both of these relate to memory
 corruption and host crashes seen when transparent huge pages are
 enabled.  The first fixes a host crash that can occur when a DMA
 mapping is removed by the guest and the page mapped was part of a
 transparent huge page; the second fixes corruption that could occur
 when a hypervisor page fault for a radix guest is being serviced at
 the same time that the backing page is being collapsed or split.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
