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"
