Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
     (SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
     non-fatal manner

   - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
     supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
     in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
     deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
     one that acked the IRQ

   - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
     FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
     table walkers and shadow MMU

   - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
     need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM

   - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests

  Loongarch:

   - Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register

   - Add AVEC basic support

   - Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC

   - Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests

  RISC/V:

   - SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest

   - Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
     AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file

   - Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
     in small chunks

   - Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions

   - Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores

  s390:

   - Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
     starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
     addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
     (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
     introduced by z114/z196 in 2010

   - VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support

   - Operation exception forwarding support

   - Cleanups

  x86:

   - Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
     SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
     zap

   - Relocate a misplaced export

   - Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
     when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
     handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM

   - Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
     virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
     keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
     MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
     CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down

   - Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()

   - Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
     periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host

   - Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
     clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections

   - Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
     latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS

   - Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
     path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
     paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
     fixed

   - Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
     emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
     large multi-byte instructions

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs

   - Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation

   - Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode

   - Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
     intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions

   - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
     on VMRUN and #VMEXIT

   - Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
     a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
     VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3

   - Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
     to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
     don't require any actual support from KVM

  x86 (Intel):

   - Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of
     the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to
     pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT
     flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous
     flush

   - Add a few missing nested consistency checks

   - Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware
     as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer
     useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param
     to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform

   - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's
     SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter

   - Misc cleanups

   - Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting
     on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention
     in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird,
     ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's
     devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host
     kernel)

   - Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a
     TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through

   - Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL)

   - Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace

   - Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR
     values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber
     host MSRs as expected

  Selftests:

   - Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU
     system/VM

   - Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with
     specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line

   - Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well

   - Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test
     to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using
     5-level paging, but L2 is not

   - Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core
     logic for nested EPT and nested NPT

  guest_memfd:

   - Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety
     of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way

   - Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a
     guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references

   - Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug
     selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where
     test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors

   - Misc cleanups

  Generic:

   - Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU
     workqueue for irqfd cleanup

   - Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation

   - Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
     kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
     vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search"

Commit 2c25716dcc25 ("btrfs: zlib: fix and simplify the inline extent
decompression") renamed the 'start_byte' parameter to 'dest_pgoff' in
the btrfs_decompress(). The remaining 'start_byte' references are
inconsistent with the actual implementation and may cause confusion for
developers.

Ensure consistency between function declaration and implementation.

<title>btrfs: enable encoded read/write/send for bs &gt; ps cases</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ec20799064c881e373939ea3cea55b1c406c6b76</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the read verification and read repair are all supporting bs &gt; ps
without large folios now, we can enable encoded read/write/send.

Now we can relax the alignment in assert_bbio_alignment() to
min(blocksize, PAGE_SIZE).
But also add the extra blocksize based alignment check for the logical
and length of the bbio.

There is a pitfall in btrfs_add_compress_bio_folios(), which relies on
the folios passed in to meet the minimal folio order.
But now we can pass regular page sized folios in, update it to check
each folio's size instead of using the minimal folio size.

This allows btrfs_add_compress_bio_folios() to even handle folios array
with different sizes, thankfully we don't yet need to handle such crazy
situation.

<title>btrfs: remove btrfs_fs_info::compressed_write_workers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4bbdce84175db7ff0dfaa82e960c7488c6cb0bcf</id>
<content type='text'>
The reason why end_bbio_compressed_write() queues a work into
compressed_write_workers wq is for end_compressed_writeback() call, as
it will grab all the involved folios and clear the writeback flags,
which may sleep.

However now we always run btrfs_bio::end_io() in task context, there is
no need to queue the work anymore.

Just remove btrfs_fs_info::compressed_write_workers and
compressed_bio::write_end_work.

There is a comment about the works queued into
compressed_write_workers, now change to flush endio wq instead, which is
responsible to handle all data endio functions.

<title>btrfs: remove btrfs_bio::fs_info by extracting it from btrfs_bio::inode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:81cea6cd7041ebd42281e0517f856d88527d3326</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently there is only one caller which doesn't populate
btrfs_bio::inode, and that's scrub.

The idea is scrub doesn't want any automatic csum verification nor
read-repair, as everything will be handled by scrub itself.

However that behavior is really no different than metadata inode, thus
we can reuse btree_inode as btrfs_bio::inode for scrub.

The only exception is in btrfs_submit_chunk() where if a bbio is from
scrub or data reloc inode, we set rst_search_commit_root to true.
This means we still need a way to distinguish scrub from metadata, but
that can be done by a new flag inside btrfs_bio.

Now btrfs_bio::inode is a mandatory parameter, we can extract fs_info
from that inode thus can remove btrfs_bio::fs_info to save 8 bytes from
btrfs_bio structure.

Add a mempolicy parameter to filemap_alloc_folio() to enable NUMA-aware
page cache allocations. This will be used by upcoming changes to
support NUMA policies in guest-memfd, where guest_memory need to be
allocated NUMA policy specified by VMM.

All existing users pass NULL maintaining current behavior.

<title>btrfs: prepare compression folio alloc/free for bs &gt; ps cases</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c2ffb1ec1a7cfc754c1d2fe66d317f0aa4c0f1e6</id>
<content type='text'>
This includes the following preparation for bs &gt; ps cases:

- Always alloc/free the folio directly if bs &gt; ps
  This adds a new @fs_info parameter for btrfs_alloc_compr_folio(), thus
  affecting all compression algorithms.

  For btrfs_free_compr_folio() it needs no parameter for now, as we can
  use the folio size to skip the caching part.

  For now the change is just to passing a @fs_info into the function,
  all the folio size assumption is still based on page size.

- Properly zero the last folio in compress_file_range()
  Since the compressed folios can be larger than a page, we need to
  properly zero the whole folio.

- Use correct folio size for btrfs_add_compressed_bio_folios()
  Instead of page size, use the correct folio size.

- Use correct folio size/shift for btrfs_compress_filemap_get_folio()
  As we are not only using simple page sized folios anymore.

- Use correct folio size for btrfs_decompress()
  There is an ASSERT() making sure the decompressed range is no larger
  than a page, which will be triggered for bs &gt; ps cases.

- Skip readahead for compressed pages
  Similar to subpage cases.

- Make btrfs_alloc_folio_array() to accept a new @order parameter

- Add a helper to calculate the minimal folio size

All those changes should not affect the existing bs &lt;= ps handling.

Since all workspace managers are per-fs, there is no need nor no way to
store them inside btrfs_compress_op::wsm anymore.

With that said, we can do the following modifications:

- Remove zstd_workspace_mananger::ops
  Zstd always grab the global btrfs_compress_op[].
- Remove btrfs_compress_op::wsm member
- Rename btrfs_compress_op to btrfs_compress_levels

This should make it more clear that btrfs_compress_levels structures are
only to indicate the levels of each compress algorithm.
