Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.

The value of the guest_irq argument to vmx_update_pi_irte() is ultimately coming from a KVM_IRQFD API call. Do not BUG() in vmx_update_pi_irte() if the value is out-of bounds. (Especially, since KVM as a whole seems to hang after that.) Instead, print a message only once if we find that we don't have a route for a certain IRQ (which can be out-of-bounds or within the array). This fixes CVE-2017-1000252.
