200 commits and noteworthy changes for most architectures.
* ARM:
- GICv3 save/restore
- cache flushing fixes
- working MSI injection for GICv3 ITS
- physical timer emulation
* MIPS:
- various improvements under the hood
- support for SMP guests
- a large rewrite of MMU emulation. KVM MIPS can now use MMU notifiers
to support copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, ballooning
and everything else. KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM is also supported, so that
writes to some memory regions can be treated as MMIO. The new MMU also
paves the way for hardware virtualization support.
* PPC:
- support for POWER9 using the radix-tree MMU for host and guest
- resizable hashed page table
- bugfixes.
* s390: expose more features to the guest
- more SIMD extensions
- instruction execution protection
- ESOP2
* x86:
- improved hashing in the MMU
- faster PageLRU tracking for Intel CPUs without EPT A/D bits
- some refactoring of nested VMX entry/exit code, preparing for live
migration support of nested hypervisors
- expose yet another AVX512 CPUID bit
- host-to-guest PTP support
- refactoring of interrupt injection, with some optimizations thrown in
and some duct tape removed.
- remove lazy FPU handling
- optimizations of user-mode exits
- optimizations of vcpu_is_preempted() for KVM guests
* generic:
- alternative signaling mechanism that doesn't pound on tsk->sighand->siglock
