Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"RISC-V:
- Avoid redundant allocations when allocating IMSIC page tables
- Apply SBI FWFT LOCK flag only on successful set
- Bound SBI PMU counter mask scan to BITS_PER_LONG, since on RV32 the
PMU SBI start/stop helper can only access 32 PMU counters.
- Skip TLB flush when G-stage PTE becomes valid if the Svvptc
extension is available.
- Always show Zicbo[m|z|p] block sizes in ONE_REG
- Inject instruction access fault on unmapped guest fetch
- Use raw spinlock for irqs_pending and irqs_pending_mask
- Fix Spectre-v1 in vector register access via ONE_REG
x86:
- Fixes to SEV selftests
- Once free_nested() did a VMCLEAR of shadow VMCS, there's no need to
VMCLEAR it again if the kernel is preempted and thread migration
happens
- Preserve nested TDP shadow page tables if they are used as roots,
instead of clearing them unnecessarily
- Fix use of stale data if out-of-memory happens after vendor module
reload
- Check for invalid/obsolete root *after* making MMU pages available,
because the latter can make a page invalid
- Only reset TSC Deadline Timer in apic_timer_expired on KVM_RUN"
