Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup

hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to
the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the
upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to
begin with.

This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence
with hrtimer_setup(T, cb);

The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups.

Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init()
will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member"

KVM: PPC: Enable CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on pSeries KVM guests

KVM: PPC: Enable CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on pSeries KVM guests

Currently on book3s-hv, the capability KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO is only
available for KVM Guests running on PowerNV and not for the KVM guests
running on pSeries hypervisors. This prevents a pSeries L2 guest from
leveraging the in-kernel acceleration for H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and
H_STUFF_TCE hcalls that results in slow startup times for large memory
guests.

Support for VFIO on pSeries was restored in commit f431a8cde7f1
("powerpc/iommu: Reimplement the iommu_table_group_ops for pSeries"),
making it possible to re-enable this capability on pSeries hosts.

This change enables KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO for nested PAPR guests on
pSeries, while maintaining the existing behavior on PowerNV. Booting an
L2 guest with 128GB of memory shows an average 11% improvement in
startup time.

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

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had of
essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages.

The reason to do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted
pages (for example BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP
VMAs that contain refcounted pages.

However, the result was security issues in the past, and more recently
the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory that _is_ backed by
struct page but is not refcounted. In particular this broke virtio-gpu
blob resources (which directly map host graphics buffers into the
guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the amdgpu driver,
because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages and the tail
pages could not be mapped into KVM.

This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the
per-architecture code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible.
The large series that did this, from David Stevens and Sean
Christopherson, also cleaned up substantially the set of functions
that provided arch code with the pfn for a host virtual addresses.

The previous maze of twisty little passages, all different, is
replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page, __kvm_faultin_pfn, the
non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages) saving almost
200 lines of code.

ARM:

- Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
emulated page table walker

- Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This
call was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request
hibernation, similar to the S4 state in ACPI

- Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
context so KVM can use the corresponding traps

- PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
nested guest

- Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM

- Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested
synchronous external abort injection

- Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
selftests

LoongArch:

- Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.

- Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.

- Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.

PPC:

- Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which
was removed 10 years ago.

- Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls

RISC-V:

- Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest

- Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side

s390:

- New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks

- Support for the gen17 CPU model

- List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the
documentation

x86:

- Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code,
improve documentation, harden against unexpected changes.

Even if the hardware A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to
use the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a PFN is Accessed
and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot of special cases.

- Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in
x86's primary MMU for over 10 years.

- Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging
is toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page
is re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter.

- Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This
reduces the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.

- Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow
page tables in low-memory situations.

- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to
MSR_IA32_APICBASE.

- Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest

- Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs
to their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM
creating invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to
a non-zero value results in the vCPU having invalid state if
userspace hides PDCM from the guest, which in turn can lead to
save/restore failures.

- Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support
LA57 to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the
actual behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and
descriptor table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on
whether the CPU supports LA57.

- Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(),
as filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden
the cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring
in the future. The issue that triggered this change was already
fixed in 6.12, but was still kinda latent.

- Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where
KVM over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor
VMs.

- Minor cleanups

- Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task.

These kthreads can consume significant amounts of CPU time on
behalf of a VM or in response to how the VM behaves (for example
how it accesses its memory); therefore KVM tried to place the
thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU time consumed by that
work to the VM's container.

However the kthreads did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore
cgroups which had KVM instances inside could not complete freezing.

Fix this by replacing the kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via
the vhost_task abstraction. Another 100+ lines removed, with
generally better behavior too like having these threads properly
parented in the process tree.

- Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that
didn't really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway:
the broken patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the
erratum.

- Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is
'y'.

x86 selftests:

- x86 selftests can now use AVX.

Documentation:

- Use rST internal links

- Reorganize the introduction to the API document

Generic:

- Protect vcpu->pid accesses outside of vcpu->mutex with a rwlock
instead of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't
encounter long due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent.

In general both reads and writes are rare, but userspace that
supports confidential computing is introducing the use of "helper"
vCPUs that may jump from one host processor to another. Those will
be very happy to trigger a synchronize_rcu(), and the effect on
performance is quite the disaster"
