Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "PPC changes will come next week. - s390: Support for runtime instrumentation within guests, support of 248 VCPUs. - ARM: rewrite of the arm64 world switch in C, support for 16-bit VM identifiers. Performance counter virtualization missed the boat. - x86: Support for more Hyper-V features (synthetic interrupt controller), MMU cleanups" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (115 commits) kvm: x86: Fix vmwrite to SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL kvm/x86: Hyper-V SynIC timers tracepoints kvm/x86: Hyper-V SynIC tracepoints kvm/x86: Update SynIC timers on guest entry only kvm/x86: Skip SynIC vector check for QEMU side kvm/x86: Hyper-V fix SynIC timer disabling condition kvm/x86: Reorg stimer_expiration() to better control timer restart kvm/x86: Hyper-V unify stimer_start() and stimer_restart() kvm/x86: Drop stimer_stop() function kvm/x86: Hyper-V timers fix incorrect logical operation KVM: move architecture-dependent requests to arch/ KVM: renumber vcpu->request bits KVM: document which architecture uses each request bit KVM: Remove unused KVM_REQ_KICK to save a bit in vcpu->requests kvm: x86: Check kvm_write_guest return value in kvm_write_wall_clock KVM: s390: implement the RI support of guest kvm/s390: drop unpaired smp_mb kvm: x86: fix comment about {mmu,nested_mmu}.gva_to_gpa KVM: x86: MMU: Use clear_page() instead of init_shadow_page_table() arm/arm64: KVM: Detect vGIC presence at runtime ...
