- VHE optimizations
- EL2 address space randomization
- speculative execution mitigations ("variant 3a", aka execution past invalid
privilege register access)
- bugfixes and cleanups
PPC:
- improvements for the radix page fault handler for HV KVM on POWER9
s390:
- more kvm stat counters
- virtio gpu plumbing
- documentation
- facilities improvements
x86:
- support for VMware magic I/O port and pseudo-PMCs
- AMD pause loop exiting
- support for AMD core performance extensions
- support for synchronous register access
- expose nVMX capabilities to userspace
- support for Hyper-V signaling via eventfd
- use Enlightened VMCS when running on Hyper-V
- allow userspace to disable MWAIT/HLT/PAUSE vmexits
- usual roundup of optimizations and nested virtualization bugfixes
Generic:
- API selftest infrastructure (though the only tests are for x86 as of now)

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.
