KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ will allow KVM to block all interrupts
while running.

This change is mostly intended for more robust single stepping
of the guest and it has the following benefits when enabled:

* Resuming from a breakpoint is much more reliable.
  When resuming execution from a breakpoint, with interrupts enabled,
  more often than not, KVM would inject an interrupt and make the CPU
  jump immediately to the interrupt handler and eventually return to
  the breakpoint, to trigger it again.

  From the user point of view it looks like the CPU never executed a
  single instruction and in some cases that can even prevent forward
  progress, for example, when the breakpoint is placed by an automated
  script (e.g lx-symbols), which does something in response to the
  breakpoint and then continues the guest automatically.
  If the script execution takes enough time for another interrupt to
  arrive, the guest will be stuck on the same breakpoint RIP forever.

* Normal single stepping is much more predictable, since it won't
  land the debugger into an interrupt handler.

* RFLAGS.TF has less chance to be leaked to the guest:

  We set that flag behind the guest's back to do single stepping
  but if single step lands us into an interrupt/exception handler
  it will be leaked to the guest in the form of being pushed
  to the stack.
  This doesn't completely eliminate this problem as exceptions
  can still happen, but at least this reduces the chances
  of this happening.

Pull x86 fpu updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Fixes and improvements for FPU handling on x86:

   - Prevent sigaltstack out of bounds writes.

     The kernel unconditionally writes the FPU state to the alternate
     stack without checking whether the stack is large enough to
     accomodate it.

     Check the alternate stack size before doing so and in case it's too
     small force a SIGSEGV instead of silently corrupting user space
     data.

   - MINSIGSTKZ and SIGSTKSZ are constants in signal.h and have never
     been updated despite the fact that the FPU state which is stored on
     the signal stack has grown over time which causes trouble in the
     field when AVX512 is available on a CPU. The kernel does not expose
     the minimum requirements for the alternate stack size depending on
     the available and enabled CPU features.

     ARM already added an aux vector AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for the same reason.
     Add it to x86 as well.

   - A major cleanup of the x86 FPU code. The recent discoveries of
     XSTATE related issues unearthed quite some inconsistencies,
     duplicated code and other issues.

     The fine granular overhaul addresses this, makes the code more
     robust and maintainable, which allows to integrate upcoming XSTATE
     related features in sane ways"

This hypercall is used by the SEV guest to notify a change in the page
encryption status to the hypervisor. The hypercall should be invoked
only when the encryption attribute is changed from encrypted -&gt; decrypted
and vice versa. By default all guest pages are considered encrypted.

The hypercall exits to userspace to manage the guest shared regions and
integrate with the userspace VMM's migration code.

This is a new version of KVM_GET_SREGS / KVM_SET_SREGS.

It has the following changes:
   * Has flags for future extensions
   * Has vcpu's PDPTRs, allowing to save/restore them on migration.
   * Lacks obsolete interrupt bitmap (done now via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS)

New capability, KVM_CAP_SREGS2 is added to signal
the userspace of this ioctl.

SVM added support for certain reserved fields to be used by
software or hypervisor. Add the following reserved fields:
  - VMCB offset 0x3e0 - 0x3ff
  - Clean bit 31
  - SVM intercept exit code 0xf0000000

Later patches will make use of this for supporting Hyper-V

<id>urn:sha1:1c33bb0507508af24fd754dd7123bd8e997fab2f</id>
<content type='text'>
Historically, signal.h defines MINSIGSTKSZ (2KB) and SIGSTKSZ (8KB), for
use by all architectures with sigaltstack(2). Over time, the hardware state
size grew, but these constants did not evolve. Today, literal use of these
constants on several architectures may result in signal stack overflow, and
thus user data corruption.

A few years ago, the ARM team addressed this issue by establishing
getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ). This enables the kernel to supply a value
at runtime that is an appropriate replacement on current and future
hardware.

Add getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ) support to x86, analogous to the support
added for ARM in

  94b07c1f8c39 ("arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv").

Also, include a documentation to describe x86-specific auxiliary vectors.

   - Guest SVE support when running in nVHE mode

   - Force W^X hypervisor mappings in nVHE mode

   - ITS save/restore for guests using direct injection with GICv4.1

   - nVHE panics now produce readable backtraces

   - Guest support for PTP using the ptp_kvm driver

   - Performance improvements in the S2 fault handler

  x86:

   - AMD PSP driver changes

   - Optimizations and cleanup of nested SVM code

   - AMD: Support for virtual SPEC_CTRL

   - Optimizations of the new MMU code: fast invalidation, zap under
     read lock, enable/disably dirty page logging under read lock

   - /dev/kvm API for AMD SEV live migration (guest API coming soon)

   - support SEV virtual machines sharing the same encryption context

   - support SGX in virtual machines

   - add a few more statistics

   - improved directed yield heuristics

   - Lots and lots of cleanups

  Generic:

   - Rework of MMU notifier interface, simplifying and optimizing the
     architecture-specific code

   - a handful of "Get rid of oprofile leftovers" patches

   - Some selftests improvements"
