Merge branch kvm-arm64/parallel-faults into kvmarm-master/next



* kvm-arm64/parallel-faults:
  : .
  : Parallel stage-2 fault handling, courtesy of Oliver Upton.
  : From the cover letter:
  :
  : "Presently KVM only takes a read lock for stage 2 faults if it believes
  : the fault can be fixed by relaxing permissions on a PTE (write unprotect
  : for dirty logging). Otherwise, stage 2 faults grab the write lock, which
  : predictably can pile up all the vCPUs in a sufficiently large VM.
  :
  : Like the TDP MMU for x86, this series loosens the locking around
  : manipulations of the stage 2 page tables to allow parallel faults. RCU
  : and atomics are exploited to safely build/destroy the stage 2 page
  : tables in light of multiple software observers."
  : .
  KVM: arm64: Reject shared table walks in the hyp code
  KVM: arm64: Don't acquire RCU read lock for exclusive table walks
  KVM: arm64: Take a pointer to walker data in kvm_dereference_pteref()
  KVM: arm64: Handle stage-2 faults in parallel
  KVM: arm64: Make table->block changes parallel-aware
  KVM: arm64: Make leaf->leaf PTE changes parallel-aware
  KVM: arm64: Make block->table PTE changes parallel-aware
  KVM: arm64: Split init and set for table PTE
  KVM: arm64: Atomically update stage 2 leaf attributes in parallel walks
  KVM: arm64: Protect stage-2 traversal with RCU
  KVM: arm64: Tear down unlinked stage-2 subtree after break-before-make
  KVM: arm64: Use an opaque type for pteps
  KVM: arm64: Add a helper to tear down unlinked stage-2 subtrees
  KVM: arm64: Don't pass kvm_pgtable through kvm_pgtable_walk_data
