Linus Torvalds 2c9b351240 ARM:
* Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested
   virtualization enablement
 
 * Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling
   (in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware
 
 * Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1 of
   the protocol
 
 * FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
   and exception routing
 
 * New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under KVM
 
 * Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor
 
 * Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX
 
 * Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates
 
 LoongArch:
 
 * Add paravirt steal time support.
 
 * Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET.
 
 * Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 * Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest
 
 * perf kvm stat support
 
 * Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available
 
 ONE_REG support for the Zimop, Zcmop, Zca, Zcf, Zcd, Zcb and Zawrs ISA
 extensions is coming through the RISC-V tree.
 
 s390:
 
 * Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical
 
 x86:
 
 * Fixes for Xen emulation.
 
 * Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g. EFER
 
 * Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the effective APIC
   bus frequency, because TDX.
 
 * Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant tracepoint.
 
 * Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to consistently act on
   "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking for a specific vendor.
 
 * Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs
   that support self-snoop.
 
 * Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure.
 
 * Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as it reads
   '0' and writes from userspace are ignored.
 
 * Misc cleanups
 
 x86 - MMU:
 
 * Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
   Intel TDX support.
 
 * Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages that can't
   hold leafs SPTEs.
 
 * Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables for eager
   page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting huge pages.
 
 * Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE that is
   non-present or not-huge.  KVM is guaranteed to end up in a broken state
   because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's all but dangerous
   to let more MMU changes happen afterwards.
 
 x86 - AMD:
 
 * Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware.
 
 * Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into an
   instrumentable function from noinstr code.
 
 * Base support for running SEV-SNP guests.  API-wise, this includes
   a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
   guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it.  Internally,
   there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated pages
   before mapping them into guest private memory ranges.
 
   This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough to
   say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification.
 
   There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
   keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
   for the host to provide certificate data for those keys.  To support
   fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit type will be
   needed to handle fetching the certificate from userspace. An attempt to
   define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO/KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS exit type to handle
   this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but is still being discussed
   by community, so for now this patchset only implements a stub version
   of SNP Extended Guest Requests that does not provide certificate data.
 
 x86 - Intel:
 
 * Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware.
 
 * Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted
   interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing HLT in L2 (with
   HLT-exiting disable by L1).
 
 * KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch emulation
 
   Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when
   emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during
   complex (multi-step) emulation.  Silently ignoring the exit request can
   result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to
   userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed.
 
   See commit 0dc902267c ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write exits if
   emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's limitations with
   respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator flows.
 
 Generic:
 
 * Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to AS_INACCESSIBLE,
   because the special casing needed by these pages is not due to just
   unmovability (and in fact they are only unmovable because the CPU cannot
   access them).
 
 * New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is useful to
   mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live migration.
   The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not through the ioctl.
 
 * Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a clear win.
 
 * Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to synchronize
   SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86.
 
 * Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with a flag
   that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and sched_out().
 
 * Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
   truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace detect bugs.
 
 * Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in the
   KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus writing guest
   memory when retrieving guest state during live migration blackout.
 
 Selftests:
 
 * Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test.
 
 * Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family 17h+ CPUs.
 
 * Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid spamming the
   log for tests that create lots of VMs.
 
 * Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache misses by
   doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration.
