Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "First batch of KVM changes for 4.4.

  s390:
     A bunch of fixes and optimizations for interrupt and time handling.

  PPC:
     Mostly bug fixes.

  ARM:
     No big features, but many small fixes and prerequisites including:

      - a number of fixes for the arch-timer

      - introducing proper level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers

      - a series of patches to synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite
        for IRQ forwarding)

      - some tracepoint improvements

      - a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers

      - some more VGIC cleanups getting rid of redundant state

  x86:
     Quite a few changes:

      - support for VT-d posted interrupts (i.e. PCI devices can inject
        interrupts directly into vCPUs).  This introduces a new
        component (in virt/lib/) that connects VFIO and KVM together.
        The same infrastructure will be used for ARM interrupt
        forwarding as well.

      - more Hyper-V features, though the main one Hyper-V synthetic
        interrupt controller will have to wait for 4.5.  These will let
        KVM expose Hyper-V devices.

      - nested virtualization now supports VPID (same as PCID but for
        vCPUs) which makes it quite a bit faster

      - for future hardware that supports NVDIMM, there is support for
        clflushopt, clwb, pcommit

      - support for "split irqchip", i.e.  LAPIC in kernel +
        IOAPIC/PIC/PIT in userspace, which reduces the attack surface of
        the hypervisor

      - obligatory smattering of SMM fixes

      - on the guest side, stable scheduler clock support was rewritten
        to not require help from the hypervisor"

We do not want to do too much work in atomic context, in particular
not walking all the VCPUs of the virtual machine.  So we want
to distinguish the architecture-specific injection function for irqfd
from kvm_set_msi.  Since it's still empty, reuse the newly added
kvm_arch_set_irq and rename it to kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic.

KVM/ARM Changes for v4.4-rc1

Includes a number of fixes for the arch-timer, introducing proper
level-triggered semantics for the arch-timers, a series of patches to
synchronously halt a guest (prerequisite for IRQ forwarding), some tracepoint
improvements, a tweak for the EL2 panic handlers, some more VGIC cleanups
getting rid of redundant state, and finally a stylistic change that gets rid of
some ctags warnings.

1. Remove unnecessary 'irq' argument, because irq number can be retrieved
   from the LR.
2. Since cff9211eb1a1f58ce7f5a2d596b617928fd4be0e
   ("arm/arm64: KVM: Fix arch timer behavior for disabled interrupts ")
   LR_STATE_PENDING is queued back by vgic_retire_lr() itself. Also, it
   clears vlr.state itself. Therefore, we remove the same, now duplicated,
   check with all accompanying bit manipulations from vgic_unqueue_irqs().
3. vgic_retire_lr() is always accompanied by vgic_irq_clear_queued(). Since
   it already does more than just clearing the LR, move
   vgic_irq_clear_queued() inside of it.

Currently we use vgic_irq_lr_map in order to track which LRs hold which
IRQs, and lr_used bitmap in order to track which LRs are used or free.

vgic_irq_lr_map is actually used only for piggy-back optimization, and
can be easily replaced by iteration over lr_used. This is good because in
future, when LPI support is introduced, number of IRQs will grow up to at
least 16384, while numbers from 1024 to 8192 are never going to be used.
This would be a huge memory waste.

In its turn, lr_used is also completely redundant since
ae705930fca6322600690df9dc1c7d0516145a93 ("arm/arm64: KVM: Keep elrsr/aisr
in sync with software model"), because together with lr_used we also update
elrsr. This allows to easily replace lr_used with elrsr, inverting all
conditions (because in elrsr '1' means 'free').

   - Further improvements to the generic MSI management

   - Generalize the irq migration on CPU hotplug

   - Improvements to the threaded interrupt infrastructure

The VGIC and timer code for KVM arm/arm64 doesn't have any tracepoints
or tracepoint infrastructure defined.  Rewriting some of the timer code
handling showed me how much we need this, so let's add these simple
trace points once and for all and we can easily expand with additional
trace points in these files as we go along.

We mark edge-triggered interrupts with the HW bit set as queued to
prevent the VGIC code from injecting LRs with both the Active and
Pending bits set at the same time while also setting the HW bit,
because the hardware does not support this.

However, this means that we must also clear the queued flag when we sync
back a LR where the state on the physical distributor went from active
to inactive because the guest deactivated the interrupt.  At this point
we must also check if the interrupt is pending on the distributor, and
tell the VGIC to queue it again if it is.

Since these actions on the sync path are extremely close to those for
level-triggered interrupts, rename process_level_irq to
process_queued_irq, allowing it to cater for both cases.
