Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "Much x86 work was pushed out to 5.12, but ARM more than made up for it. ARM: - PSCI relay at EL2 when "protected KVM" is enabled - New exception injection code - Simplification of AArch32 system register handling - Fix PMU accesses when no PMU is enabled - Expose CSV3 on non-Meltdown hosts - Cache hierarchy discovery fixes - PV steal-time cleanups - Allow function pointers at EL2 - Various host EL2 entry cleanups - Simplification of the EL2 vector allocation s390: - memcg accouting for s390 specific parts of kvm and gmap - selftest for diag318 - new kvm_stat for when async_pf falls back to sync x86: - Tracepoints for the new pagetable code from 5.10 - Catch VFIO and KVM irqfd events before userspace - Reporting dirty pages to userspace with a ring buffer - SEV-ES host support - Nested VMX support for wait-for-SIPI activity state - New feature flag (AVX512 FP16) - New system ioctl to report Hyper-V-compatible paravirtualization features Generic: - Selftest improvements" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (171 commits) KVM: SVM: fix 32-bit compilation KVM: SVM: Add AP_JUMP_TABLE support in prep for AP booting KVM: SVM: Provide support to launch and run an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Provide an updated VMRUN invocation for SEV-ES guests KVM: SVM: Provide support for SEV-ES vCPU loading KVM: SVM: Provide support for SEV-ES vCPU creation/loading KVM: SVM: Update ASID allocation to support SEV-ES guests KVM: SVM: Set the encryption mask for the SVM host save area KVM: SVM: Add NMI support for an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Guest FPU state save/restore not needed for SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Do not report support for SMM for an SEV-ES guest KVM: x86: Update __get_sregs() / __set_sregs() to support SEV-ES KVM: SVM: Add support for CR8 write traps for an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Add support for CR4 write traps for an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Add support for CR0 write traps for an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Add support for EFER write traps for an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Support string IO operations for an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Support MMIO for an SEV-ES guest KVM: SVM: Create trace events for VMGEXIT MSR protocol processing KVM: SVM: Create trace events for VMGEXIT processing ...
