Linus Torvalds 4f712ee0cb S390:
* Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request
 
 * Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
   requested.
 
 * More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
   virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same).
 
 * Fix selftests undefined behavior.
 
 x86:
 
 * Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
   encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
   guest CPUID.  The enumeration of an architectural event only says
   that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can be
   programmed *using the architectural encoding*.  The enumeration does
   NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't report support
   the event *in general*.  It might support it, and it might support it
   using the same encoding that made it into the architectural PMU spec.
 
 * Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
   individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly emulates
   RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other PMC-related
   behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are easier to
   validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka kvm-unit-tests).
 
 * Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does not
   cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM would check
   if a PMC event needs to be synthesized.
 
 * Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10% performance
   improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is exposed to the
   guest.
 
 * Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if an NMI
   arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit.
 
 * Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification information
   when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit code.
 
 * Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support.
 
 * Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock held for
   read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace deletes a memslot.
 
 * Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be 1GiB).  KVM
   doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a zap, and 1GiB
   granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that are quite impolite
   for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels.
 
 * Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory overhead when
   a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support but the workloads use
   neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization.
 
 * Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the emulator that
   triggered KMSAN false positives.
 
 * Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM.
 
 * Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code ultimately decides
   how and when to force the exit, which allowed some optimization for both
   Intel and AMD.
 
 * Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left elevated if
   vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra unnecessary work.
 
 * Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is in-kernel.
 
 * Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
   count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere in the
   kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the kernel.
 
 x86 Xen emulation:
 
 * Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
   instead of guest physical addresses.  This removes the need to
   reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the
   gpa but the underlying host virtual address remains the same.
 
 * When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for
   Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation.
 
 * Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix
   a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior).
 
 * Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen
   events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 * Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests
 
 * New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)
 
 * New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)
 
 * Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs.
 
 ARM:
 
 * Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
   architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
   registers
 
 * Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
   x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
   assigned devices that can tolerate it
 
 * Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized to
   address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI injection
   path
 
 * Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through the
   absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register
 
 * Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
   selftests
 
 LoongArch:
 
 * Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG.
 
 * Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking.
 
 * Do not restart SW timer when it is expired.
 
 * Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest.
 
 * Misc cleanups and fixes as usual.
 
 Generic:
 
 * cleanup Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically always
   true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig determines the
   available depending on CPU capabilities).  It is replaced either by
   an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
   everywhere else.
 
 * Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of requiring
   each architecture to specify it
 
 * Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers.
 
 * Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h
 
 * Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is being
   removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that there are no
   workers running in KVM code when all references to KVM-the-module are gone,
   i.e. to prevent a very unlikely use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded.
 
 * Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker itself instead
   of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's no need to remember
   to *conditionally* clean up after the worker.
 
 Selftests:
 
 * Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP infrastructure.
 
 * Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of library
   support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory.
 
 * Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files.
