Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"s390:
- More phys_to_virt conversions
- Improvement of AP management for VSIE (nested virtualization)
ARM64:
- Numerous fixes for the pathological lock inversion issue that
plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever.
- New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded
to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features being
moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel.
- Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be
applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a
per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one. This
last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on top.
- A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything
affecting the EL1&0 translation regime just after having having
taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This
ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&0 have completed.
- The usual selftest fixes and improvements.
x86:
- Optimize CR0.WP toggling by avoiding an MMU reload when TDP is
enabled, and by giving the guest control of CR0.WP when EPT is
enabled on VMX (VMX-only because SVM doesn't support per-bit
controls)
- Add CR0/CR4 helpers to query single bits, and clean up related code
where KVM was interpreting kvm_read_cr4_bits()'s "unsigned long"
return as a bool
- Move AMD_PSFD to cpufeatures.h and purge KVM's definition
- Avoid unnecessary writes+flushes when the guest is only adding new
PTEs
- Overhaul .sync_page() and .invlpg() to utilize .sync_page()'s
optimizations when emulating invalidations
- Clean up the range-based flushing APIs
- Revamp the TDP MMU's reaping of Accessed/Dirty bits to clear a
single A/D bit using a LOCK AND instead of XCHG, and skip all of
the "handle changed SPTE" overhead associated with writing the
entire entry
- Track the number of "tail" entries in a pte_list_desc to avoid
having to walk (potentially) all descriptors during insertion and
deletion, which gets quite expensive if the guest is spamming
fork()
- Disallow virtualizing legacy LBRs if architectural LBRs are
available, the two are mutually exclusive in hardware
- Disallow writes to immutable feature MSRs (notably
PERF_CAPABILITIES) after KVM_RUN, similar to CPUID features
- Overhaul the vmx_pmu_caps selftest to better validate
PERF_CAPABILITIES
- Apply PMU filters to emulated events and add test coverage to the
pmu_event_filter selftest
- AMD SVM:
- Add support for virtual NMIs
- Fixes for edge cases related to virtual interrupts
- Intel AMX:
- Don't advertise XTILE_CFG in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID if
XTILE_DATA is not being reported due to userspace not opting in
via prctl()
- Fix a bug in emulation of ENCLS in compatibility mode
- Allow emulation of NOP and PAUSE for L2
- AMX selftests improvements
- Misc cleanups
MIPS:
- Constify MIPS's internal callbacks (a leftover from the hardware
enabling rework that landed in 6.3)
Generic:
- Drop unnecessary casts from "void *" throughout kvm_main.c
- Tweak the layout of "struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache" to shrink the
struct size by 8 bytes on 64-bit kernels by utilizing a padding
hole
Documentation:
- Fix goof introduced by the conversion to rST"
