arm64/x86: KVM: Introduce steal-time cap

2020-08-21T13:05:19Z

arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe support for steal-time. However this is unnecessary, as only a KVM fd is required, and it complicates userspace (userspace may prefer delaying vcpu creation until after feature probing). Introduce a cap that can be checked instead. While x86 can already probe steal-time support with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), we add the cap there too for consistency.

Merge tag 'powerpc-5.9-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

2020-08-07T17:33:50Z

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

docs: kvm: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

KVM: nVMX: fixes for preemption timer migration

2020-07-10T10:15:36Z

Commit 850448f35aaf ("KVM: nVMX: Fix VMX preemption timer migration", 2020-06-01) accidentally broke nVMX live migration from older version by changing the userspace ABI. Restore it and, while at it, ensure that vmx->nested.has_preemption_timer_deadline is always initialized according to the KVM_STATE_VMX_PREEMPTION_TIMER_DEADLINE flag.
