KVM/arm64 updates for 6.5 - Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of block splitting in the stage-2 fault path. - Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact with services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on FF-A calls to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to the hyp or a pKVM guest. - Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as 'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2. - Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace. KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set configuration from userspace, but the intent is to relax this limitation and allow userspace to select a feature set consistent with the CPU. - Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the hypervisor. - Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the hypervisor when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted at runtime. - Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure paths. - Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization Traps (FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace. - Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has broken hardware A/D state management. As a consequence of the hVHE series reworking the arm64 software features framework, the for-next/module-alloc branch from the arm64 tree comes along for the ride.
