Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
- x86 bugfixes
- Documentation fixes
- Avoid performance regression due to SEV-ES patches
- ARM:
- Don't allow tagged pointers to point to memslots
- Filter out ARMv8.1+ PMU events on v8.0 hardware
- Hide PMU registers from userspace when no PMU is configured
- More PMU cleanups
- Don't try to handle broken PSCI firmware
- More sys_reg() to reg_to_encoding() conversions
