Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: - ARM: GICv3 ITS emulation and various fixes. Removal of the old VGIC implementation. - s390: support for trapping software breakpoints, nested virtualization (vSIE), the STHYI opcode, initial extensions for CPU model support. - MIPS: support for MIPS64 hosts (32-bit guests only) and lots of cleanups, preliminary to this and the upcoming support for hardware virtualization extensions. - x86: support for execute-only mappings in nested EPT; reduced vmexit latency for TSC deadline timer (by about 30%) on Intel hosts; support for more than 255 vCPUs. - PPC: bugfixes. * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (302 commits) KVM: PPC: Introduce KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM MIPS: Select HAVE_KVM for MIPS64_R{2,6} MIPS: KVM: Reset CP0_PageMask during host TLB flush MIPS: KVM: Fix ptr->int cast via KVM_GUEST_KSEGX() MIPS: KVM: Sign extend MFC0/RDHWR results MIPS: KVM: Fix 64-bit big endian dynamic translation MIPS: KVM: Fail if ebase doesn't fit in CP0_EBase MIPS: KVM: Use 64-bit CP0_EBase when appropriate MIPS: KVM: Set CP0_Status.KX on MIPS64 MIPS: KVM: Make entry code MIPS64 friendly MIPS: KVM: Use kmap instead of CKSEG0ADDR() MIPS: KVM: Use virt_to_phys() to get commpage PFN MIPS: Fix definition of KSEGX() for 64-bit KVM: VMX: Add VMCS to CPU's loaded VMCSs before VMPTRLD kvm: x86: nVMX: maintain internal copy of current VMCS KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore TM state in H_CEDE KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pull out TM state save/restore into separate procedures KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Simplify MAPI error handling KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Make vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapi similar to other handlers KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Turn device_id validation into generic ID validation ...
