Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"First batch of KVM changes for 4.4.
s390:
A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling.
PPC:
Mostly bug fixes.
ARM:
No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:
- a number of fixes for the arch-timer
- introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers
- a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
for IRQ forwarding)
- some tracepoint improvements
- a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers
- some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state
x86:
Quite a few changes:
- support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
interrupts directly into vCPUs). This introduces a new
component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.
The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt
forwarding as well.
- more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic
interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5. These will let
KVM expose Hyper-V devices.
- nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for
vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster
- for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for
clflushopt, clwb, pcommit
- support for "split irqchip", i.e. LAPIC in kernel +
IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of
the hypervisor
- obligatory smattering of SMM fixes
- on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten
to not require help from the hypervisor"
