Merge tag 'kvmarm-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
KVM/arm64 updates for 6.4
- Numerous fixes for the pathological lock inversion issue that
plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever.
- New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded
to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features
being moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel.
- Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be
applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a
per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one.
This last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on
top.
- A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything
affecting the EL1&0 translation regime just after having having
taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This
ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&0 have completed.
- The usual selftest fixes and improvements.
