Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86 has lots of small bugfixes, mostly one liners. It's quite late in
5.11-rc but none of them are related to this merge window; it's just
bugs coming in at the wrong time.
Of note among the others is "KVM: x86: Allow guests to see
MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL even if tsx=off" that fixes a live migration failure
seen on distros that hadn't switched to tsx=off right away.
ARM:
- Avoid clobbering extra registers on initialisation"
[ Sean Christopherson notes that commit 943dea8af21b ("KVM: x86: Update
emulator context mode if SYSENTER xfers to 64-bit mode") should have
had authorship credited to Jonny Barker, not to him. - Linus ]
