Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"One of the largest releases for KVM... Hardly any generic
changes, but lots of architecture-specific updates.
ARM:
- VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
- PMU support for guests
- 32bit world switch rewritten in C
- various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.
PPC:
- enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
- optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
- in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
- support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).
s390:
- provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
- separated instruction vs. data accesses
- dirty log improvements for huge guests
- bugfixes and documentation improvements.
x86:
- Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
- alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
- fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
- improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
- generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
virtual GPUs as well
- much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes"
