Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"On top of a lot of Arm fixes, this includes a massive rename of types
and variables in tools/testing/selftests/kvm - these were
unnecessarily different from what the kernel uses, so they're being
made consistent.
arm64:
- Allow tracing for non-pKVM, which was accidentally disabled when
the series was merged
- Rationalise the way the pKVM hypercall ranges are defined by using
the same mechanism as already used for the vcpu_sysreg enum
- Enforce that SMCCC function numbers relayed by the pKVM proxy are
actually compliant with the specification
- Fix a couple of feature to idreg mappings which resulted in the
wrong sanitisation being applied
- Fix the GICD_IIDR revision number field that could never been
written correctly by userspace
- Make kvm_vcpu_initialized() correctly use its parameter instead of
relying on the surrounding context
- Enforce correct ordering in __pkvm_init_vcpu(), plugging a
potential pin leak at the same time
- Move __pkvm_init_finalise() to a less dangerous spot, avoiding
future problems
- Restore functional userspace irqchip support after a four year
breakage (last functional kernel was 5.18...)
- Spelling fixes
Selftests:
- Rename types across all KVM selftests to more closely align with
types used in the kernel:
vm_vaddr_t -> gva_t
vm_paddr_t -> gpa_t
uint64_t -> u64
uint32_t -> u32
uint16_t -> u16
uint8_t -> u8
int64_t -> s64
int32_t -> s32
int16_t -> s16
int8_t -> s8
- Fix Loongarch compilation"
