Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"arm64:
- Fix ITS EventID sanitisation when restoring an interrupt
translation table.
- Fix PPI memory leak when failing to initialise a vcpu.
- Correctly return an error when the validation of a hypervisor trace
descriptor fails, and limit this validation to protected mode only.
RISC-V:
- Fix invalid HVA warning in steal-time recording
- Return SBI_ERR_FAILURE to guest upon OOM in pmu_event_info() and
pmu_snapshot_set_shmem()
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in SBI v0.1 SEND_IPI handler
- Fix sign extension of value for MMIO loads
s390:
- Fix bugs in vSIE (nested virtualization) and UCONTROL, caused by
the page table rewrite.
x86:
- Apply erratum #1235 workaround (disable AVIC IPI virtualization) on
Hygon Family 18h, just like on AMD Family 17h.
- When KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS is queried on a specific VM,
return the VM's configured APIC bus frequency instead of the
default. This is less confusing (read: not wrong) and makes it
easier to fill in CPUID information that communicates the APIC bus
frequency to the guest.
Selftests:
- Do not include glibc-internal <bits/endian.h>; it worked by chance
and broke building KVM selftests with musl"
