Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Quite a large pull request due to a selftest API overhaul and some
patches that had come in too late for 5.19.
ARM:
- Unwinder implementations for both nVHE modes (classic and
protected), complete with an overflow stack
- Rework of the sysreg access from userspace, with a complete rewrite
of the vgic-v3 view to allign with the rest of the infrastructure
- Disagregation of the vcpu flags in separate sets to better track
their use model.
- A fix for the GICv2-on-v3 selftest
- A small set of cosmetic fixes
RISC-V:
- Track ISA extensions used by Guest using bitmap
- Added system instruction emulation framework
- Added CSR emulation framework
- Added gfp_custom flag in struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache
- Added G-stage ioremap() and iounmap() functions
- Added support for Svpbmt inside Guest
s390:
- add an interface to provide a hypervisor dump for secure guests
- improve selftests to use TAP interface
- enable interpretive execution of zPCI instructions (for PCI
passthrough)
- First part of deferred teardown
- CPU Topology
- PV attestation
- Minor fixes
x86:
- Permit guests to ignore single-bit ECC errors
- Intel IPI virtualization
- Allow getting/setting pending triple fault with
KVM_GET/SET_VCPU_EVENTS
- PEBS virtualization
- Simplify PMU emulation by just using PERF_TYPE_RAW events
- More accurate event reinjection on SVM (avoid retrying
instructions)
- Allow getting/setting the state of the speaker port data bit
- Refuse starting the kvm-intel module if VM-Entry/VM-Exit controls
are inconsistent
- "Notify" VM exit (detect microarchitectural hangs) for Intel
- Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64
- Ignore benign host accesses to PMU MSRs when PMU is disabled
- Allow disabling KVM's "MONITOR/MWAIT are NOPs!" behavior
- Allow NX huge page mitigation to be disabled on a per-vm basis
- Port eager page splitting to shadow MMU as well
- Enable CMCI capability by default and handle injected UCNA errors
- Expose pid of vcpu threads in debugfs
- x2AVIC support for AMD
- cleanup PIO emulation
- Fixes for LLDT/LTR emulation
- Don't require refcounted "struct page" to create huge SPTEs
- Miscellaneous cleanups:
- MCE MSR emulation
- Use separate namespaces for guest PTEs and shadow PTEs bitmasks
- PIO emulation
- Reorganize rmap API, mostly around rmap destruction
- Do not workaround very old KVM bugs for L0 that runs with nesting enabled
- new selftests API for CPUID
Generic:
- Fix races in gfn->pfn cache refresh; do not pin pages tracked by
the cache
- new selftests API using struct kvm_vcpu instead of a (vm, id)
tuple"
