Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "s390: - More phys_to_virt conversions - Improvement of AP management for VSIE (nested virtualization) ARM64: - Numerous fixes for the pathological lock inversion issue that plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever. - New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features being moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel. - Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one. This last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on top. - A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything affecting the EL1&0 translation regime just after having having taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&0 have completed. - The usual selftest fixes and improvements. x86: - Optimize CR0.WP toggling by avoiding an MMU reload when TDP is enabled, and by giving the guest control of CR0.WP when EPT is enabled on VMX (VMX-only because SVM doesn't support per-bit controls) - Add CR0/CR4 helpers to query single bits, and clean up related code where KVM was interpreting kvm_read_cr4_bits()'s "unsigned long" return as a bool - Move AMD_PSFD to cpufeatures.h and purge KVM's definition - Avoid unnecessary writes+flushes when the guest is only adding new PTEs - Overhaul .sync_page() and .invlpg() to utilize .sync_page()'s optimizations when emulating invalidations - Clean up the range-based flushing APIs - Revamp the TDP MMU's reaping of Accessed/Dirty bits to clear a single A/D bit using a LOCK AND instead of XCHG, and skip all of the "handle changed SPTE" overhead associated with writing the entire entry - Track the number of "tail" entries in a pte_list_desc to avoid having to walk (potentially) all descriptors during insertion and deletion, which gets quite expensive if the guest is spamming fork() - Disallow virtualizing legacy LBRs if architectural LBRs are available, the two are mutually exclusive in hardware - Disallow writes to immutable feature MSRs (notably PERF_CAPABILITIES) after KVM_RUN, similar to CPUID features - Overhaul the vmx_pmu_caps selftest to better validate PERF_CAPABILITIES - Apply PMU filters to emulated events and add test coverage to the pmu_event_filter selftest - AMD SVM: - Add support for virtual NMIs - Fixes for edge cases related to virtual interrupts - Intel AMX: - Don't advertise XTILE_CFG in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID if XTILE_DATA is not being reported due to userspace not opting in via prctl() - Fix a bug in emulation of ENCLS in compatibility mode - Allow emulation of NOP and PAUSE for L2 - AMX selftests improvements - Misc cleanups MIPS: - Constify MIPS's internal callbacks (a leftover from the hardware enabling rework that landed in 6.3) Generic: - Drop unnecessary casts from "void *" throughout kvm_main.c - Tweak the layout of "struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache" to shrink the struct size by 8 bytes on 64-bit kernels by utilizing a padding hole Documentation: - Fix goof introduced by the conversion to rST" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (211 commits) KVM: s390: pci: fix virtual-physical confusion on module unload/load KVM: s390: vsie: clarifications on setting the APCB KVM: s390: interrupt: fix virtual-physical confusion for next alert GISA KVM: arm64: Have kvm_psci_vcpu_on() use WRITE_ONCE() to update mp_state KVM: arm64: Acquire mp_state_lock in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_vcpu_init() KVM: selftests: Test the PMU event "Instructions retired" KVM: selftests: Copy full counter values from guest in PMU event filter test KVM: selftests: Use error codes to signal errors in PMU event filter test KVM: selftests: Print detailed info in PMU event filter asserts KVM: selftests: Add helpers for PMC asserts in PMU event filter test KVM: selftests: Add a common helper for the PMU event filter guest code KVM: selftests: Fix spelling mistake "perrmited" -> "permitted" KVM: arm64: vhe: Drop extra isb() on guest exit KVM: arm64: vhe: Synchronise with page table walker on MMU update KVM: arm64: pkvm: Document the side effects of kvm_flush_dcache_to_poc() KVM: arm64: nvhe: Synchronise with page table walker on TLBI KVM: arm64: Handle 32bit CNTPCTSS traps KVM: arm64: nvhe: Synchronise with page table walker on vcpu run KVM: arm64: vgic: Don't acquire its_lock before config_lock KVM: selftests: Add test to verify KVM's supported XCR0 ...

+4.138 KVM_ARM_SET_COUNTER_OFFSET
+--------------------------------
+
+:Capability: KVM_CAP_COUNTER_OFFSET
+:Architectures: arm64
+:Type: vm ioctl
+:Parameters: struct kvm_arm_counter_offset (in)
+:Returns: 0 on success, < 0 on error
+
+This capability indicates that userspace is able to apply a single VM-wide
+offset to both the virtual and physical counters as viewed by the guest
+using the KVM_ARM_SET_CNT_OFFSET ioctl and the following data structure:
+
+::
+
+ struct kvm_arm_counter_offset {
+ __u64 counter_offset;
+ __u64 reserved;
+ };
+
+The offset describes a number of counter cycles that are subtracted from
+both virtual and physical counter views (similar to the effects of the
+CNTVOFF_EL2 and CNTPOFF_EL2 system registers, but only global). The offset
+always applies to all vcpus (already created or created after this ioctl)
+for this VM.
+
+It is userspace's responsibility to compute the offset based, for example,
+on previous values of the guest counters.
+
+Any value other than 0 for the "reserved" field may result in an error
+(-EINVAL) being returned. This ioctl can also return -EBUSY if any vcpu
+ioctl is issued concurrently.
+
+Note that using this ioctl results in KVM ignoring subsequent userspace
+writes to the CNTVCT_EL0 and CNTPCT_EL0 registers using the SET_ONE_REG
+interface. No error will be returned, but the resulting offset will not be
+applied.

+
+``nr`` contains the function ID of the guest's SMCCC call. Userspace is

+ - ``KVM_HYPERCALL_EXIT_SMC``: Indicates that the guest used the SMC

+ used the HVC conduit for the SMCCC call.

+ instruction to initiate the SMCCC call. If this bit is 0 then the
+ guest used a 32bit instruction. An AArch64 guest always has this
+ bit set to 0.
+
+At the point of exit, PC points to the instruction immediately following
+the trapping instruction.

+6. GROUP: KVM_ARM_VM_SMCCC_CTRL
+===============================
+
+:Architectures: arm64
+
+6.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_ARM_VM_SMCCC_FILTER (w/o)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+:Parameters: Pointer to a ``struct kvm_smccc_filter``
+
+:Returns:
+
+ ====== ===========================================
+ EEXIST Range intersects with a previously inserted
+ or reserved range
+ EBUSY A vCPU in the VM has already run
+ EINVAL Invalid filter configuration
+ ENOMEM Failed to allocate memory for the in-kernel
+ representation of the SMCCC filter
+ ====== ===========================================
+
+Requests the installation of an SMCCC call filter described as follows::
+
+ enum kvm_smccc_filter_action {
+ KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_HANDLE = 0,
+ KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_DENY,
+ KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_FWD_TO_USER,
+ };
+
+ struct kvm_smccc_filter {
+ __u32 base;
+ __u32 nr_functions;
+ __u8 action;
+ __u8 pad[15];
+ };
+
+The filter is defined as a set of non-overlapping ranges. Each
+range defines an action to be applied to SMCCC calls within the range.
+Userspace can insert multiple ranges into the filter by using
+successive calls to this attribute.
+
+The default configuration of KVM is such that all implemented SMCCC
+calls are allowed. Thus, the SMCCC filter can be defined sparsely
+by userspace, only describing ranges that modify the default behavior.
+
+The range expressed by ``struct kvm_smccc_filter`` is
+[``base``, ``base + nr_functions``). The range is not allowed to wrap,
+i.e. userspace cannot rely on ``base + nr_functions`` overflowing.
+
+The SMCCC filter applies to both SMC and HVC calls initiated by the
+guest. The SMCCC filter gates the in-kernel emulation of SMCCC calls
+and as such takes effect before other interfaces that interact with
+SMCCC calls (e.g. hypercall bitmap registers).
+
+Actions:
+
+ - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_HANDLE``: Allows the guest SMCCC call to be
+ handled in-kernel. It is strongly recommended that userspace *not*
+ explicitly describe the allowed SMCCC call ranges.
+
+ - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_DENY``: Rejects the guest SMCCC call in-kernel
+ and returns to the guest.
+
+ - ``KVM_SMCCC_FILTER_FWD_TO_USER``: The guest SMCCC call is forwarded
+ to userspace with an exit reason of ``KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL``.
+
+The ``pad`` field is reserved for future use and must be zero. KVM may
+return ``-EINVAL`` if the field is nonzero.
+
+KVM reserves the 'Arm Architecture Calls' range of function IDs and
+will reject attempts to define a filter for any portion of these ranges:
