Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "s390: - implement diag318 x86: - Report last CPU for debugging - Emulate smaller MAXPHYADDR in the guest than in the host - .noinstr and tracing fixes from Thomas - nested SVM page table switching optimization and fixes Generic: - Unify shadow MMU cache data structures across architectures" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (127 commits) KVM: SVM: Fix sev_pin_memory() error handling KVM: LAPIC: Set the TDCR settable bits KVM: x86: Specify max TDP level via kvm_configure_mmu() KVM: x86/mmu: Rename max_page_level to max_huge_page_level KVM: x86: Dynamically calculate TDP level from max level and MAXPHYADDR KVM: VXM: Remove temporary WARN on expected vs. actual EPTP level mismatch KVM: x86: Pull the PGD's level from the MMU instead of recalculating it KVM: VMX: Make vmx_load_mmu_pgd() static KVM: x86/mmu: Add separate helper for shadow NPT root page role calc KVM: VMX: Drop a duplicate declaration of construct_eptp() KVM: nSVM: Correctly set the shadow NPT root level in its MMU role KVM: Using macros instead of magic values MIPS: KVM: Fix build error caused by 'kvm_run' cleanup KVM: nSVM: remove nonsensical EXITINFO1 adjustment on nested NPF KVM: x86: Add a capability for GUEST_MAXPHYADDR < HOST_MAXPHYADDR support KVM: VMX: optimize #PF injection when MAXPHYADDR does not match KVM: VMX: Add guest physical address check in EPT violation and misconfig KVM: VMX: introduce vmx_need_pf_intercept KVM: x86: update exception bitmap on CPUID changes KVM: x86: rename update_bp_intercept to update_exception_bitmap ...
