This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics.  The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.

These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:

 - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed

   Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
   already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
   generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.

 - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef

   This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
   situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
   generic version automatically" case.

 - strange use case #1

   A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
   versioning is with

	#define MAJ 1
	#define MIN 2
	#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)

   which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
   impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as

	#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"

   instead.

 - strange use case #2

   A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
   'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
   the traditional macro that takes arguments.

   These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
   function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
   parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.

Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

<title>mm/page_alloc: fix pcp-&gt;count race between drain_pages_zone() vs __rmqueue_pcplist()</title>

It's expected that no page should be left in pcp_list after calling
zone_pcp_disable() in offline_pages().  Previously, it's observed that
offline_pages() gets stuck [1] due to some pages remaining in pcp_list.

Cause:
There is a race condition between drain_pages_zone() and __rmqueue_pcplist()
involving the pcp-&gt;count variable. See below scenario:

         CPU0                              CPU1
    ----------------                    ---------------
                                      spin_lock(&amp;pcp-&gt;lock);
                                      __rmqueue_pcplist() {
zone_pcp_disable() {
                                        /* list is empty */
                                        if (list_empty(list)) {
                                          /* add pages to pcp_list */
                                          alloced = rmqueue_bulk()
  mutex_lock(&amp;pcp_batch_high_lock)
  ...
  __drain_all_pages() {
    drain_pages_zone() {
      /* read pcp-&gt;count, it's 0 here */
      count = READ_ONCE(pcp-&gt;count)
      /* 0 means nothing to drain */
                                          /* update pcp-&gt;count */
                                          pcp-&gt;count += alloced &lt;&lt; order;
      ...
                                      ...
                                      spin_unlock(&amp;pcp-&gt;lock);

In this case, after calling zone_pcp_disable() though, there are still some
pages in pcp_list. And these pages in pcp_list are neither movable nor
isolated, offline_pages() gets stuck as a result.

Solution:
Expand the scope of the pcp-&gt;lock to also protect pcp-&gt;count in
drain_pages_zone(), to ensure no pages are left in the pcp list after
zone_pcp_disable()

Outline and export free_reserved_page() because modules use it and it in
turn uses page_ext_{get|put} which should not be exported.  The same
result could be obtained by outlining {get|put}_page_tag_ref() but that
would have higher performance impact as these functions are used in more
performance critical paths.

xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size.  the largest and supported
page cache size is defined as MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER by commit 099d90642a71
("mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray").  However,
it's possible to have 512MB page cache in the huge memory's collapsing
path on ARM64 system whose base page size is 64KB.  512MB page cache is
breaking the limitation and a warning is raised when the xarray entry is
split as shown in the following example.

[root@dhcp-10-26-1-207 ~]# cat /proc/1/smaps | grep KernelPageSize
KernelPageSize:       64 kB
[root@dhcp-10-26-1-207 ~]# cat /tmp/test.c
   :
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	const char *filename = TEST_XFS_FILENAME;
	int fd = 0;
	void *buf = (void *)-1, *p;
	int pgsize = getpagesize();
	int ret = 0;

	if (pgsize != 0x10000) {
		fprintf(stdout, "System with 64KB base page size is required!\n");
		return -EPERM;
	}

	system("echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/253:0/read_ahead_kb");
	system("echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches");

	/* Open the xfs file */
	fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY);
	assert(fd &gt; 0);

	/* Create VMA */
	buf = mmap(NULL, TEST_MEM_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	assert(buf != (void *)-1);
	fprintf(stdout, "mapped buffer at 0x%p\n", buf);

	/* Populate VMA */
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE);
	assert(ret == 0);
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_POPULATE_READ);
	assert(ret == 0);

	/* Collapse VMA */
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
	assert(ret == 0);
	ret = madvise(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE, MADV_COLLAPSE);
	if (ret) {
		fprintf(stdout, "Error %d to madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE)\n", errno);
		goto out;
	}

	/* Split xarray entry. Write permission is needed */
	munmap(buf, TEST_MEM_SIZE);
	buf = (void *)-1;
	close(fd);
	fd = open(filename, O_RDWR);
	assert(fd &gt; 0);
	fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE | FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,

Fix it by correcting the supported page cache orders, different sets for
DAX and other files.  With it corrected, 512MB page cache becomes
disallowed on all non-DAX files on ARM64 system where the base page size
is 64KB.  After this patch is applied, the test program fails with error
-EINVAL returned from __thp_vma_allowable_orders() and the madvise()

xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size.  the largest and supported
page cache size is defined as MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER by commit 099d90642a71
("mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray").  However,
it's possible to have 512MB page cache in the huge memory's collapsing
path on ARM64 system whose base page size is 64KB.  512MB page cache is
breaking the limitation and a warning is raised when the xarray entry is
split as shown in the following example.

[root@dhcp-10-26-1-207 ~]# cat /proc/1/smaps | grep KernelPageSize
KernelPageSize:       64 kB

	int pgsize = getpagesize();
	int ret = 0;

Fix it by correcting the supported page cache orders, different sets for
DAX and other files.  With it corrected, 512MB page cache becomes
disallowed on all non-DAX files on ARM64 system where the base page size
is 64KB.  After this patch is applied, the test program fails with error
-EINVAL returned from __thp_vma_allowable_orders() and the madvise()
system call to collapse the page caches.

Yves-Alexis Perez reported commit 4ef9ad19e176 ("mm: huge_memory: don't
force huge page alignment on 32 bit") didn't work for x86_32 [1].  It is
because x86_32 uses CONFIG_X86_32 instead of CONFIG_32BIT.

!CONFIG_64BIT should cover all 32 bit machines.

<title>mm: fix old/young bit handling in the faulting path</title>

Commit 3bd786f76de2 ("mm: convert do_set_pte() to set_pte_range()")
replaced do_set_pte() with set_pte_range() and that introduced a
regression in the following faulting path of non-anonymous vmas which
caused the PTE for the faulting address to be marked as old instead of
young.

handle_pte_fault()
  do_pte_missing()
    do_fault()
      do_read_fault() || do_cow_fault() || do_shared_fault()
        finish_fault()
          set_pte_range()

The polarity of prefault calculation is incorrect.  This leads to prefault
being incorrectly set for the faulting address.  The following check will
incorrectly mark the PTE old rather than young.  On some architectures
this will cause a double fault to mark it young when the access is
retried.

    if (prefault &amp;&amp; arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte())
        entry = pte_mkold(entry);

On a subsequent fault on the same address, the faulting path will see a
non NULL vmf-&gt;pte and instead of reaching the do_pte_missing() path, PTE
will then be correctly marked young in handle_pte_fault() itself.

Due to this bug, performance degradation in the fault handling path will
be observed due to unnecessary double faulting.

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function

  First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
  lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
  enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
  doesn't count as being mlocked.

  Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
  generic manner and hooked into random.c.

  Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
  this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)

  Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.

  There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

 - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
   MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.

 - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
   has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

 - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
   zswap: trivial folio conversions".

 - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
   Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
   swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
   objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

 - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
   calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
   fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

 - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
   taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
   is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
   improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

 - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
   page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
   fs/proc/internal.h".

 - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
   "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

 - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
   "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

 - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
   Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
   and utilize them".

 - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
   reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
   common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

   It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
   all CPUs are pegged.

 - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
   "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

 - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
   thing.

 - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
   Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
   This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
   efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

 - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
   Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
   function".

 - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
   David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
   modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

 - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
   page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

 - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
   "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
   !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
   pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

 - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
   __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
   preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
   implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
   folio userspace copying.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
   and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
   with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.

 - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
   that.

 - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
   migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
   folio isolation + checks under PTL".

 - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
   the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
   readahead quirks".

 - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
   {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
   self testing code.

 - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
   code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
   by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.

 - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
   and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

 - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
   code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
   Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
   under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
   data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

 - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
   adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

 - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
   permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
   excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
   monitor and handle this situation.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
   migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
   from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

 - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
   does those things.

 - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
   Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
   utilization.

 - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
   pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
   bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
   they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

 - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
   /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
   is "query VMAs from /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps".

 - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
   Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
   related to multisize THP splitting.

 - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
   without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
   userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

 - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
   injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
   not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "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

  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-&gt;mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace
     for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed

     See commit 0dc902267cb3 ("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"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "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

  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
