Merge tag 'kvm-4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
"ARM:
- icache invalidation optimizations, improving VM startup time
- support for forwarded level-triggered interrupts, improving
performance for timers and passthrough platform devices
- a small fix for power-management notifiers, and some cosmetic
changes
PPC:
- add MMIO emulation for vector loads and stores
- allow HPT guests to run on a radix host on POWER9 v2.2 CPUs without
requiring the complex thread synchronization of older CPU versions
- improve the handling of escalation interrupts with the XIVE
interrupt controller
- support decrement register migration
- various cleanups and bugfixes.
s390:
- Cornelia Huck passed maintainership to Janosch Frank
- exitless interrupts for emulated devices
- cleanup of cpuflag handling
- kvm_stat counter improvements
- VSIE improvements
- mm cleanup
x86:
- hypervisor part of SEV
- UMIP, RDPID, and MSR_SMI_COUNT emulation
- paravirtualized TLB shootdown using the new KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED bit
- allow guests to see TOPOEXT, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, and more
AVX512 features
- show vcpu id in its anonymous inode name
- many fixes and cleanups
- per-VCPU MSR bitmaps (already merged through x86/pti branch)
- stable KVM clock when nesting on Hyper-V (merged through
x86/hyperv)"
