Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Correctly clean the BSS to the PoC before allowing EL2 to access it
     on nVHE/hVHE/protected configurations

   - Propagate ownership of debug registers in protected mode after the
     rework that landed in 6.14-rc1

   - Stop pretending that we can run the protected mode without a GICv3
     being present on the host

   - Fix a use-after-free situation that can occur if a vcpu fails to
     initialise the NV shadow S2 MMU contexts

   - Always evaluate the need to arm a background timer for fully
     emulated guest timers

   - Fix the emulation of EL1 timers in the absence of FEAT_ECV

   - Correctly handle the EL2 virtual timer, specially when HCR_EL2.E2H==0

  s390:

   - move some of the guest page table (gmap) logic into KVM itself,
     inching towards the final goal of completely removing gmap from the
     non-kvm memory management code.

     As an initial set of cleanups, move some code from mm/gmap into kvm
     and start using __kvm_faultin_pfn() to fault-in pages as needed;
     but especially stop abusing page-&gt;index and page-&gt;lru to aid in the
     pgdesc conversion.

  x86:

   - Add missing check in the fix to defer starting the huge page
     recovery vhost_task

   - SRSO_USER_KERNEL_NO does not need SYNTHESIZED_F"

&gt; There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran
&gt; twice as fast with 32-bit pointers.
&gt;
&gt; I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work
&gt; to allow the toolchain to take advantage.
&gt;
&gt; Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a
&gt; 32-bit address space, specifically because of this.
&gt;
&gt; I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would
&gt; notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users.

In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation.  In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.

Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.

As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set.  Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

<content type='text'>
xen_hypercall_hvm(), which is used when running as a Xen PVH guest at
most only once during early boot, is clobbering %rbx. Depending on
whether the caller relies on %rbx to be preserved across the call or
not, this clobbering might result in an early crash of the system.

This can be avoided by using an already saved register instead of %rbx.

xen_hypercall_hvm(), which is used when running as a Xen PVH guest at
most only once during early boot, is clobbering %rbx. Depending on
whether the caller relies on %rbx to be preserved across the call or
not, this clobbering might result in an early crash of the system.

This can be avoided by using an already saved register instead of %rbx.

When waking a VM's NX huge page recovery thread, ensure the thread is
actually alive before trying to wake it.  Now that the thread is spawned
on-demand during KVM_RUN, a VM without a recovery thread is reachable via
the related module params.
