Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"This is a large update by KVM standards, including AMD PSP (Platform
Security Processor, aka "AMD Secure Technology") and ARM CoreSight
(debug and trace) changes.
ARM:
- CoreSight: Add support for ETE and TRBE
- Stage-2 isolation for the host kernel when running in protected
mode
- 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"
