ARM:
- Stage-2 isolation for the host kernel when running in protected mode
- Guest SVE support when running in nVHE mode
- Force W^X hypervisor mappings in nVHE mode
- ITS save/restore for guests using direct injection with GICv4.1
- nVHE panics now produce readable backtraces
- Guest support for PTP using the ptp_kvm driver
- Performance improvements in the S2 fault handler
x86:
- Optimizations and cleanup of nested SVM code
- AMD: Support for virtual SPEC_CTRL
- Optimizations of the new MMU code: fast invalidation,
zap under read lock, enable/disably dirty page logging under
read lock
- /dev/kvm API for AMD SEV live migration (guest API coming soon)
- support SEV virtual machines sharing the same encryption context
- support SGX in virtual machines
- add a few more statistics
- improved directed yield heuristics
- Lots and lots of cleanups
Generic:
- Rework of MMU notifier interface, simplifying and optimizing
the architecture-specific code
- Some selftests improvements
KVM: selftests: Speed up set_memory_region_test
After commit 4fc096a99e01 ("KVM: Raise the maximum number of user memslots")
set_memory_region_test may take too long, reports are that the default
timeout value we have (120s) may not be enough even on a physical host.
Speed things up a bit by throwing away vm_userspace_mem_region_add() usage
from test_add_max_memory_regions(), we don't really need to do the majority
of the stuff it does for the sake of this test.
On my AMD EPYC 7401P, # time ./set_memory_region_test
pre-patch:
Testing KVM_RUN with zero added memory regions
Allowed number of memory slots: 32764
Adding slots 0..32763, each memory region with 2048K size
Testing MOVE of in-use region, 10 loops
Testing DELETE of in-use region, 10 loops
real 0m44.917s
user 0m7.416s
