Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull KVM/arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "New features: - Support for non-protected guest in protected mode, achieving near feature parity with the non-protected mode - Support for the EL2 timers as part of the ongoing NV support - Allow control of hardware tracing for nVHE/hVHE Improvements, fixes and cleanups: - Massive cleanup of the debug infrastructure, making it a bit less awkward and definitely easier to maintain. This should pave the way for further optimisations - Complete rewrite of pKVM's fixed-feature infrastructure, aligning it with the rest of KVM and making the code easier to follow - Large simplification of pKVM's memory protection infrastructure - Better handling of RES0/RES1 fields for memory-backed system registers - Add a workaround for Qualcomm's Snapdragon X CPUs, which suffer from a pretty nasty timer bug - Small collection of cleanups and low-impact fixes" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (87 commits) arm64/sysreg: Get rid of TRFCR_ELx SysregFields KVM: arm64: nv: Fix doc header layout for timers KVM: arm64: nv: Apply RESx settings to sysreg reset values KVM: arm64: nv: Always evaluate HCR_EL2 using sanitising accessors KVM: arm64: Fix selftests after sysreg field name update coresight: Pass guest TRFCR value to KVM KVM: arm64: Support trace filtering for guests KVM: arm64: coresight: Give TRBE enabled state to KVM coresight: trbe: Remove redundant disable call arm64/sysreg/tools: Move TRFCR definitions to sysreg tools: arm64: Update sysreg.h header files KVM: arm64: Drop pkvm_mem_transition for host/hyp donations KVM: arm64: Drop pkvm_mem_transition for host/hyp sharing KVM: arm64: Drop pkvm_mem_transition for FF-A KVM: arm64: Explicitly handle BRBE traps as UNDEFINED KVM: arm64: vgic: Use str_enabled_disabled() in vgic_v3_probe() arm64: kvm: Introduce nvhe stack size constants KVM: arm64: Fix nVHE stacktrace VA bits mask KVM: arm64: Fix FEAT_MTE in pKVM Documentation: Update the behaviour of "kvm-arm.mode" ...
