Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM64: - Fix the guest view of the ID registers, making the relevant fields writable from userspace (affecting ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 and ID_AA64PFR1_EL1) - Correcly expose S1PIE to guests, fixing a regression introduced in 6.12-rc1 with the S1POE support - Fix the recycling of stage-2 shadow MMUs by tracking the context (are we allowed to block or not) as well as the recycling state - Address a couple of issues with the vgic when userspace misconfigures the emulation, resulting in various splats. Headaches courtesy of our Syzkaller friends - Stop wasting space in the HYP idmap, as we are dangerously close to the 4kB limit, and this has already exploded in -next - Fix another race in vgic_init() - Fix a UBSAN error when faking the cache topology with MTE enabled RISCV: - RISCV: KVM: use raw_spinlock for critical section in imsic x86: - A bandaid for lack of XCR0 setup in selftests, which causes trouble if the compiler is configured to have x86-64-v3 (with AVX) as the default ISA. Proper XCR0 setup will come in the next merge window. - Fix an issue where KVM would not ignore low bits of the nested CR3 and potentially leak up to 31 bytes out of the guest memory's bounds - Fix case in which an out-of-date cached value for the segments could by returned by KVM_GET_SREGS. - More cleanups for KVM_X86_QUIRK_SLOT_ZAP_ALL - Override MTRR state for KVM confidential guests, making it WB by default as is already the case for Hyper-V guests.
