KVM/arm64 updates for 6.18 - Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM, allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload. - Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised data. - Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker. - Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2 payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups. - Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing to translate a stage-1 walk. - Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform. - Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at least correct. - Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host migration. - Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling NV testing. - Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.
