One of the largest releases for KVM... Hardly any generic improvement,
but lots of architecture-specific changes.
* ARM:
- VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
- PMU support for guests
- 32bit world switch rewritten in C
- various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.
* PPC:
- enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
- optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
- in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
- support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).
* s390:
- provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
- separated instruction vs. data accesses
- dirty log improvements for huge guests
- bugfixes and documentation improvements.
* x86:
- Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
- alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using vector
hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
- fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
- improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
- generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest memory---currently
its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow paging (pre-EPT) case, but
in the future it will be used for virtual GPUs as well
- much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes.
Merge tag 'kvm-s390-next-4.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into HEAD
KVM: s390: Fixes and features for kvm/next (4.6) part 2
- add watchdog diagnose to trace event decoder
- better handle the cpu timer when not inside the guest
- only provide STFLE if the CPU model has STFLE
- reduce DMA page usage
