Pull x86 irq entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course
  of the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in
  various ways.

  This reworks the X86 irq stack handling:

   - Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is
     not longer at an easy to find place.

   - Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call.

   - Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the
     interrupt stack for softirq handling.

   - A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got
     confused about the stack pointer manipulation"

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - Support for userspace to emulate Xen hypercalls

   - Raise the maximum number of user memslots

   - Scalability improvements for the new MMU.

     Instead of the complex "fast page fault" logic that is used in
     mmu.c, tdp_mmu.c uses an rwlock so that page faults are concurrent,
     but the code that can run against page faults is limited. Right now
     only page faults take the lock for reading; in the future this will
     be extended to some cases of page table destruction. I hope to
     switch the default MMU around 5.12-rc3 (some testing was delayed
     due to Chinese New Year).

   - Cleanups for MAXPHYADDR checks

   - Use static calls for vendor-specific callbacks

   - On AMD, use VMLOAD/VMSAVE to save and restore host state

   - Stop using deprecated jump label APIs

   - Workaround for AMD erratum that made nested virtualization
     unreliable

   - Support for LBR emulation in the guest

   - Support for communicating bus lock vmexits to userspace

   - Add support for SEV attestation command

   - Miscellaneous cleanups

  PPC:

   - Support for second data watchpoint on POWER10

   - Remove some complex workarounds for buggy early versions of POWER9

   - Guest entry/exit fixes

  ARM64:

   - Make the nVHE EL2 object relocatable

   - Cleanups for concurrent translation faults hitting the same page

   - Support for the standard TRNG hypervisor call

   - A bunch of small PMU/Debug fixes

   - Simplification of the early init hypercall handling

  Non-KVM changes (with acks):

   - Detection of contended rwlocks (implemented only for qrwlocks,
     because KVM only needs it for x86)

   - Allow __DISABLE_EXPORTS from assembly code

   - Provide a saner follow_pfn replacements for modules"

When userspace calls mprotect() to enable ADI on an address range,
do_mprotect_pkey() calls arch_validate_prot() to validate new
protection flags. arch_validate_prot() for sparc looks at the first
VMA associated with address range to verify if ADI can indeed be
enabled on this address range. This has two issues - (1) Address
range might cover multiple VMAs while arch_validate_prot() looks at
only the first VMA, (2) arch_validate_prot() peeks at VMA without
holding mmap lock which can result in race condition.

arch_validate_flags() from commit c462ac288f2c ("mm: Introduce
arch_validate_flags()") allows for VMA flags to be validated for all
VMAs that cover the address range given by user while holding mmap
lock. This patch updates sparc code to move the VMA check from
arch_validate_prot() to arch_validate_flags() to fix above two
issues.
