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.

on AMD, APIC virtualization needs to dynamicaly inhibit the AVIC in a response to some events, and this is problematic and not efficient to do by enabling/disabling the memslot that covers APIC's mmio range. Plus due to SRCU locking, it makes it more complex to request AVIC inhibition. Instead, the APIC memslot will be always enabled, but be invisible to the guest, such as the MMU code will not install a SPTE for it, when it is inhibited and instead jump straight to emulating the access. When inhibiting the AVIC, this SPTE will be zapped. This code is based on a suggestion from Sean Christopherson: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/19/2970 Suggested-by:Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by:
