Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM fixes from Radim Krčmář:
"ARM:
- A number of issues in the vgic discovered using SMATCH
- A bit one-off calculation in out stage base address mask (32-bit
and 64-bit)
- Fixes to single-step debugging instructions that trap for other
reasons such as MMMIO aborts
- Printing unavailable hyp mode as error
- Potential spinlock deadlock in the vgic
- Avoid calling vgic vcpu free more than once
- Broken bit calculation for big endian systems
s390:
- SPDX tags
- Fence storage key accesses from problem state
- Make sure that irq_state.flags is not used in the future
x86:
- Intercept port 0x80 accesses to prevent host instability (CVE)
- Use userspace FPU context for guest FPU (mainly an optimization
that fixes a double use of kernel FPU)
- Do not leak one page per module load
- Flush APIC page address cache from MMU invalidation notifiers"
