Pull second batch of KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
 "General:

   - move kvm_stat tool from QEMU repo into tools/kvm/kvm_stat (kvm_stat
     had nothing to do with QEMU in the first place -- the tool only
     interprets debugfs)

   - expose per-vm statistics in debugfs and support them in kvm_stat
     (KVM always collected per-vm statistics, but they were summarised
     into global statistics)

  x86:

   - fix dynamic APICv (VMX was improperly configured and a guest could
     access host's APIC MSRs, CVE-2016-4440)

   - minor fixes

  ARM changes from Christoffer Dall:

   - new vgic reimplementation of our horribly broken legacy vgic
     implementation.  The two implementations will live side-by-side
     (with the new being the configured default) for one kernel release
     and then we'll remove the legacy one.

   - fix for a non-critical issue with virtual abort injection to guests"

Pull libata ZAC support from Tejun Heo:
 "This contains Zone ATA Command support for Shingled Magnetic Recording
  devices.

  In addition to sending the new commands down to the device, as ZAC
  commands depend on getting a lot of responses from the device, piping
  up responses is beefed up too.  However, it doesn't involve changes to
  libata core mechanism or its interaction with upper layers, so I'm not
  expecting too many fallouts.

  Kudos to Hannes for driving SMR support"

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, as Ted pointed out, fscrypto allows one more key prefix
  given by filesystem to resolve backward compatibility issues.  Other
  than that, we've fixed several error handling cases by introducing
  a fault injection facility.  We've also achieved performance
  improvement in some workloads as well as a bunch of bug fixes.

  Summary:

  Enhancements:
   - fs-specific prefix for fscrypto
   - fault injection facility
   - expose validity bitmaps for user to be aware of fragmentation
   - fallocate/rm/preallocation speed up
   - use percpu counters

  Bug fixes:
   - some inline_dentry/inline_data bugs
   - error handling for atomic/volatile/orphan inodes
   - recover broken superblock"

<title>mm, compaction: distinguish between full and partial COMPACT_COMPLETE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c8f7de0bfae36e8532e5e25a39d15407f02aca78</id>
<content type='text'>
COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met.  This
is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this
feedback and make any decisions based on that.  The current caller might
be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and
that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted.  Make sure we
distinguish the full and partial zone walks.

Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success
and be optimistic in retrying.

The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably
reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE
with the new semantic.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

<title>mm, compaction: distinguish COMPACT_DEFERRED from COMPACT_SKIPPED</title>

<content type='text'>
try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when
the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped
in 99% of cases due to watermark checks.  This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED
basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism.

Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their
ordering in the enum.  This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be
returned only when all eligible zones are skipped.

As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath
will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim.

   - polling for interrupts after a VCPU goes to halted state is now
     enabled for s390
   - use hardware provided information about facility bits that do not
     need any hypervisor activity, and other fixes for cpu models and
     facilities
   - improve perf output
   - floating interrupt controller improvements.

  MIPS:

  PPC:

  ARM:
   - 16K page size support
   - generic firmware probing layer for timer and GIC

  Christoffer Dall (KVM-ARM maintainer) says:
    "There are a few changes in this pull request touching things
     outside KVM, but they should all carry the necessary acks and it
     made the merge process much easier to do it this way."

  though actually the irqchip maintainers' acks didn't make it into the
  patches.  Marc Zyngier, who is both irqchip and KVM-ARM maintainer,
  later acked at http://mid.gmane.org/573351D1.4060303@arm.com ('more
