Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"arm64:
- Add the pKVM side of the workaround for ARM's erratum 4193714,
provided that the EL3 firmware does its part of the job. KVM will
refuse to initialise otherwise
- Correctly handle 52bit VAs for guest EL2 stage-1 translations when
running under NV with E2H==0
- Correctly deal with permission faults in guest_memfd memslots
- Fix the steal-time selftest after the infrastructure was reworked
- Make sure the host cannot pass a non-sensical clock update to the
EL2 tracing infrastructure
- Appoint Steffen Eiden as a reviewer in anticipation of the KVM/s390
ability to run arm64 guests, which will inevitably lead to arm64
code being directly used on s390
- Make sure that EL2 is configured with both exception entry and exit
being Context Synchronization Events
- Handle the current vcpu being NULL on EL2 panic
- Fix the selftest_vcpu memcache being empty at the point of donation
or sharing
- Check that the memcache has enough capacity before engaging on the
share/donate path
- Fix __deactivate_fgt() to use its parameter rather than a variable
in the macro context
s390:
- Fix array overrun with large amounts of PCI devices
x86:
- Never use L0's PAUSE loop exiting while L2 is running, since it's
unlikely that a nested guest will help solving the hypervisor's
spinlock contention
- Fix emulation of MOVNTDQA
- Fix typo in Xen hypercall tracepoint
- Add back an optimization that was left behind when recently fixing
a bug
- Add module parameter to disable CET, whose implementation seems to
have issues. For now it remains enabled by default
Generic:
- Reject offset causing an unsigned overflow in kvm_reset_dirty_gfn()
Documentation:
- Update stale links
Selftests:
- Fix guest_memfd_test with host page size > guest page size"
