Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"The most intrusive change is reverting a commit from 7.3-rc1 that made
struct kvm a bit too large, and fixing the same issue otherwise.
There are again a lot of selftests lines; the sheer number of commits
is not small but I don't expect much more for 7.3 due to people
travelling to Plumbers next week.
ARM:
- Take a reference on the last IRQ loaded into an LR to prevent it
from being freed while running the guest (Marc Zyngier)
- Ensure that the ITS MOVALL command only affects LPIs that were
previously affined to the source redistributor (Marc Zyngier)
- Fix + test for honoring the host's trap configuration when running
non-protected VMs while KVM is in protected mode (Fuad Tabba)
- Use the host stage-1 mapping granularity for VM_PFNMAP mappings at
stage-2 (Mostafa Saleh)
x86:
Various bugfixes where the guest could do stupid things on purpose to
cause problems in the host:
- Failed VMRUNs can cause pending TLB flushes to be dropped, and in
general some actions done through VMCB control fields have to be
redone if VMRUN fails
- Toggling MSR interceptions or eVMCS execution controls can cause
the host to use a stale MSR permission bitmap
- Bad page tables can cause a WARN.
Also fix issues in last week's pull request (my fault, for changing
email workflow and thus missing feedback sent to kvm@ but not LKML).
Generic:
- Take kvm_lock when creating vCPUs. For almost two decades everybody
thought it was not done for some unspecified performance reasons,
but in reality it was only done because kvm_lock was originally a
spinlock.
This is a better fix than 97d65b544f48 ("KVM: Check for duplicate
vcpu_id as early as possible", from the 7.3 merge window), and does
not waste 2K per VM, hence its inclusion here"
