Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- VHE optimizations
- EL2 address space randomization
- speculative execution mitigations ("variant 3a", aka execution past
invalid privilege register access)
- bugfixes and cleanups
PPC:
- improvements for the radix page fault handler for HV KVM on POWER9
s390:
- more kvm stat counters
- virtio gpu plumbing
- documentation
- facilities improvements
x86:
- support for VMware magic I/O port and pseudo-PMCs
- AMD pause loop exiting
- support for AMD core performance extensions
- support for synchronous register access
- expose nVMX capabilities to userspace
- support for Hyper-V signaling via eventfd
- use Enlightened VMCS when running on Hyper-V
- allow userspace to disable MWAIT/HLT/PAUSE vmexits
- usual roundup of optimizations and nested virtualization bugfixes
Generic:
- API selftest infrastructure (though the only tests are for x86 as
of now)"
