This merge introduces three patches that are later reverted,
- Switching of MSR_TSC_AUX in SVM was thought to cause a host
misbehavior, but it was later cleared of those doubts and the patch
moved code to a hot path, so we reverted it. That patch also needed
a fix for 32 bit builds and both were reverted in one go.
- Al Viro noticed that a fix for a leak in an error path was not valid
with the given API and provided a better fix, so the original patch
was reverted.
Then there are two VMX fixes that move code around because VMCS was not
accessed between vcpu_load() and vcpu_put(), a simple ARM VHE fix, and
two one-liners for PML and MTRR.
arm64: KVM: VHE: Context switch MDSCR_EL1
The kprobe enablement work has uncovered that changes made by
a guest to MDSCR_EL1 were propagated to the host when VHE was
enabled, leading to unexpected exception being delivered.
Moving this register to the list of registers that are always
context-switched fixes the issue.
Fixes: 9c6c35683286 ("arm64: KVM: VHE: Split save/restore of registers shared between guest and host")
