Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:
   - Proper emulation of the OSLock feature of the debug architecture

   - Scalibility improvements for the MMU lock when dirty logging is on

   - New VMID allocator, which will eventually help with SVA in VMs

   - Better support for PMUs in heterogenous systems

   - PSCI 1.1 support, enabling support for SYSTEM_RESET2

   - Implement CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST at EL2

   - Make CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_2077057 default y

   - Reduce the overhead of VM exit when no interrupt is pending

   - Remove traces of 32bit ARM host support from the documentation

   - Updated vgic selftests

   - Various cleanups, doc updates and spelling fixes

  RISC-V:
   - Prevent KVM_COMPAT from being selected

   - Optimize __kvm_riscv_switch_to() implementation

   - RISC-V SBI v0.3 support

  s390:
   - memop selftest

   - fix SCK locking

   - adapter interruptions virtualization for secure guests

   - add Claudio Imbrenda as maintainer

   - first step to do proper storage key checking

  x86:
   - Continue switching kvm_x86_ops to static_call(); introduce
     static_call_cond() and __static_call_ret0 when applicable.

   - Cleanup unused arguments in several functions

   - Synthesize AMD 0x80000021 leaf

   - Fixes and optimization for Hyper-V sparse-bank hypercalls

   - Implement Hyper-V's enlightened MSR bitmap for nested SVM

   - Remove MMU auditing

   - Eager splitting of page tables (new aka "TDP" MMU only) when dirty
     page tracking is enabled

   - Cleanup the implementation of the guest PGD cache

   - Preparation for the implementation of Intel IPI virtualization

   - Fix some segment descriptor checks in the emulator

   - Allow AMD AVIC support on systems with physical APIC ID above 255

   - Better API to disable virtualization quirks

   - Fixes and optimizations for the zapping of page tables:

      - Zap roots in two passes, avoiding RCU read-side critical
        sections that last too long for very large guests backed by 4
        KiB SPTEs.

      - Zap invalid and defunct roots asynchronously via
        concurrency-managed work queue.

      - Allowing yielding when zapping TDP MMU roots in response to the
        root's last reference being put.

      - Batch more TLB flushes with an RCU trick. Whoever frees the
        paging structure now holds RCU as a proxy for all vCPUs running
        in the guest, i.e. to prolongs the grace period on their behalf.
        It then kicks the the vCPUs out of guest mode before doing
        rcu_read_unlock().

  Generic:
   - Introduce __vcalloc and use it for very large allocations that need
     memcg accounting"

KVM allows the guest to discover whether the ARCH_WORKAROUND SMCCC are

<content type='text'>
When handling reset and power-off PSCI calls from the guest, we
initialise X0 to PSCI_RET_INTERNAL_FAILURE in case the VMM tries to
re-run the vCPU after issuing the call.

Unfortunately, this also means that the VMM cannot see which PSCI call
was issued and therefore cannot distinguish between PSCI SYSTEM_RESET
and SYSTEM_RESET2 calls, which is necessary in order to determine the
validity of the "reset_type" in X1.

Allocate bit 0 of the previously unused 'flags' field of the
system_event structure so that we can indicate the PSCI call used to
initiate the reset.

Userspace can assign a PMU to a VCPU with the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_PMU
device ioctl. If the VCPU is scheduled on a physical CPU which has a
different PMU, the perf events needed to emulate a guest PMU won't be
scheduled in and the guest performance counters will stop counting. Treat
it as an userspace error and refuse to run the VCPU in this situation.

When KVM creates an event and there are more than one PMUs present on the
system, perf_init_event() will go through the list of available PMUs and
will choose the first one that can create the event. The order of the PMUs
in this list depends on the probe order, which can change under various
circumstances, for example if the order of the PMU nodes change in the DTB
or if asynchronous driver probing is enabled on the kernel command line
(with the driver_async_probe=armv8-pmu option).

Another consequence of this approach is that on heteregeneous systems all
virtual machines that KVM creates will use the same PMU. This might cause
unexpected behaviour for userspace: when a VCPU is executing on the
physical CPU that uses this default PMU, PMU events in the guest work
correctly; but when the same VCPU executes on another CPU, PMU events in
the guest will suddenly stop counting.

Fortunately, perf core allows user to specify on which PMU to create an
event by using the perf_event_attr-&gt;type field, which is used by
perf_init_event() as an index in the radix tree of available PMUs.

Add the KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_CTRL(KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_PMU) VCPU
attribute to allow userspace to specify the arm_pmu that KVM will use when
creating events for that VCPU. KVM will make no attempt to run the VCPU on
the physical CPUs that share the PMU, leaving it up to userspace to manage
the VCPU threads' affinity accordingly.

To ensure that KVM doesn't expose an asymmetric system to the guest, the
PMU set for one VCPU will be used by all other VCPUs. Once a VCPU has run,
the PMU cannot be changed in order to avoid changing the list of available
events for a VCPU, or to change the semantics of existing events.

Add a new HWCAP to detect the Increased precision of Reciprocal Estimate
and Reciprocal Square Root Estimate feature (FEAT_RPRES), introduced in Armv8.7.

Also expose this to userspace in the ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1 feature register.
