Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable
  implementation of extended page tables that does not need a reverse
  map from guest physical addresses to host physical addresses.

  For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of
  the existing MMU's bells and whistles. However it is a very solid
  piece of work and it is already available for people to hammer on it.

  Other updates:

  ARM:
   - New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2
   - Introduction of a new EL2-private host context
   - Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables
   - Support of PMU event filtering
   - Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation

  PPC:
   - Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip
   - Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup
   - Minor cleanups and bugfixes

  x86:
   - allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace
   - allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs
   - INVPCID support on AMD
   - nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state
   - hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID
   - new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest
   - cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs
   - LAPIC latency optimizations ad bugfixes"
