FEAT_TME has been dropped from the architecture. Retrospectively.
I'm sure someone is crying somewhere, but most of us won't.

Clean-up time.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:

   - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
     (SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
     non-fatal manner

   - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
     supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
     in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
     deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
     one that acked the IRQ

   - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
     FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
     table walkers and shadow MMU

   - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
     need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM

   - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests

  Loongarch:

   - Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register

   - Add AVEC basic support

   - Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC

   - Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests

  RISC/V:

   - SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest

   - Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
     AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file

   - Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
     in small chunks

   - Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions

   - Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores

  s390:

   - Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
     starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
     addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
     (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
     introduced by z114/z196 in 2010

   - VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support

   - Operation exception forwarding support

   - Cleanups

  x86:

   - Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
     SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
     zap

   - Relocate a misplaced export

   - Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
     when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
     handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM

   - Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
     virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
     keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
     MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
     CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down

   - Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()

   - Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
     periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host

   - Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
     clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections

   - Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
     latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS

   - Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
     path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
     paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
     fixed

   - Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
     emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
     large multi-byte instructions

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs

   - Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation

   - Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode

   - Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
     intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions

   - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
     on VMRUN and #VMEXIT

   - Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
     a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
     VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3

   - Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
     to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
     don't require any actual support from KVM

  x86 (Intel):

   - Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of
     the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to
     pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT
     flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous
     flush

   - Add a few missing nested consistency checks

   - Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware
     as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer
     useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param
     to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform

   - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's
     SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter

   - Misc cleanups

   - Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting
     on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention
     in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird,
     ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's
     devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host
     kernel)

   - Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a
     TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through

   - Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL)

   - Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace

   - Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR
     values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber
     host MSRs as expected

  Selftests:

   - Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU
     system/VM

   - Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with
     specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line

   - Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well

   - Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test
     to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using
     5-level paging, but L2 is not

   - Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core
     logic for nested EPT and nested NPT

  guest_memfd:

   - Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety
     of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way

   - Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a
     guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references

   - Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug
     selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where
     test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors

   - Misc cleanups

  Generic:

   - Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU
     workqueue for irqfd cleanup

   - Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation

   - Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
     kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
     vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.

  The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
  There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
  (similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
  to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
  fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
  preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
  several cleanups/typos.

  Summary:

  Core features:

   - Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
     driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API

  Perf and PMU:

   - Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs

   - Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
     for NVIDIA implementations

   - Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect

   - Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs

   - Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver

   - Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver

  Memory managemennt:

   - Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault

   - Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid

   - Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros

   - Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()

   - Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()

  ACPI and EFI:

   - Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption

   - Remove unused ACPI function

  Miscellaneous:

   - ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems

   - Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor

   - Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__

   - Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test

   - Remove some no longer used macros/functions

   - Various spelling corrections"

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.19

 - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs),
   allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal
   manner.

 - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
   supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers in
   hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
   deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
   one that acked the IRQ.

 - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
   FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
   table walkers and shadow MMU.

 - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched
   latencies observed when destroying a large VM.

 - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests
