Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable implementation of extended page tables that does not need a reverse map from guest physical addresses to host physical addresses. For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of the existing MMU's bells and whistles. However it is a very solid piece of work and it is already available for people to hammer on it. Other updates: ARM: - New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2 - Introduction of a new EL2-private host context - Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables - Support of PMU event filtering - Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation PPC: - Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip - Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup - Minor cleanups and bugfixes x86: - allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace - allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs - INVPCID support on AMD - nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state - hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID - new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest - cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs - LAPIC latency optimizations ad bugfixes" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (232 commits) kvm: x86/mmu: NX largepage recovery for TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Don't clear write flooding count for direct roots kvm: x86/mmu: Support MMIO in the TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support write protection for nesting in tdp MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support disabling dirty logging for the tdp MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support dirty logging for the TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Support changed pte notifier in tdp MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Add access tracking for tdp_mmu kvm: x86/mmu: Support invalidate range MMU notifier for TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Allocate struct kvm_mmu_pages for all pages in TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Add TDP MMU PF handler kvm: x86/mmu: Remove disallowed_hugepage_adjust shadow_walk_iterator arg kvm: x86/mmu: Support zapping SPTEs in the TDP MMU KVM: Cache as_id in kvm_memory_slot kvm: x86/mmu: Add functions to handle changed TDP SPTEs kvm: x86/mmu: Allocate and free TDP MMU roots kvm: x86/mmu: Init / Uninit the TDP MMU kvm: x86/mmu: Introduce tdp_iter KVM: mmu: extract spte.h and spte.c KVM: mmu: Separate updating a PTE from kvm_set_pte_rmapp ...

+``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_DENY``
+
+ If no filter range matches an MSR index that is getting accessed, KVM will
+ fall back to rejecting access to the MSR. In this mode, all MSRs that should
+ be processed by KVM need to explicitly be marked as allowed in the bitmaps.
+
+This ioctl allows user space to define up to 16 bitmaps of MSR ranges to
+specify whether a certain MSR access should be explicitly filtered for or not.
+
+If this ioctl has never been invoked, MSR accesses are not guarded and the
+default KVM in-kernel emulation behavior is fully preserved.
+
+Calling this ioctl with an empty set of ranges (all nmsrs == 0) disables MSR
+filtering. In that mode, ``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_DENY`` is invalid and causes
+an error.
+
+As soon as the filtering is in place, every MSR access is processed through
+the filtering except for accesses to the x2APIC MSRs (from 0x800 to 0x8ff);
+x2APIC MSRs are always allowed, independent of the ``default_allow`` setting,
+and their behavior depends on the ``X2APIC_ENABLE`` bit of the APIC base
+register.
+
+If a bit is within one of the defined ranges, read and write accesses are
+guarded by the bitmap's value for the MSR index if the kind of access
+is included in the ``struct kvm_msr_filter_range`` flags. If no range
+cover this particular access, the behavior is determined by the flags
+field in the kvm_msr_filter struct: ``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_ALLOW``
+and ``KVM_MSR_FILTER_DEFAULT_DENY``.
+
+Each bitmap range specifies a range of MSRs to potentially allow access on.
+The range goes from MSR index [base .. base+nmsrs]. The flags field
+indicates whether reads, writes or both reads and writes are filtered
+by setting a 1 bit in the bitmap for the corresponding MSR index.
+
+If an MSR access is not permitted through the filtering, it generates a
+#GP inside the guest. When combined with KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR, that
+allows user space to deflect and potentially handle various MSR accesses
+into user space.
+
+If a vCPU is in running state while this ioctl is invoked, the vCPU may
+experience inconsistent filtering behavior on MSR accesses.

+
+A filter range is defined as the range [@base_event, @base_event + @nevents),
+together with an @action (KVM_PMU_EVENT_ALLOW or KVM_PMU_EVENT_DENY). The
+first registered range defines the global policy (global ALLOW if the first
+@action is DENY, global DENY if the first @action is ALLOW). Multiple ranges
+can be programmed, and must fit within the event space defined by the PMU
+architecture (10 bits on ARMv8.0, 16 bits from ARMv8.1 onwards).
+
+Note: "Cancelling" a filter by registering the opposite action for the same
+range doesn't change the default action. For example, installing an ALLOW
+filter for event range [0:10) as the first filter and then applying a DENY
+action for the same range will leave the whole range as disabled.
+
+Restrictions: Event 0 (SW_INCR) is never filtered, as it doesn't count a
+hardware event. Filtering event 0x1E (CHAIN) has no effect either, as it
+isn't strictly speaking an event. Filtering the cycle counter is possible
+using event 0x11 (CPU_CYCLES).
