      KVM: VMX: make MSR bitmaps per-VCPU · 904e14fb
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      Place the MSR bitmap in struct loaded_vmcs, and update it in place
      every time the x2apic or APICv state can change.  This is rare and
      the loop can handle 64 MSRs per iteration, in a similar fashion as
      nested_vmx_prepare_msr_bitmap.
      
      This prepares for choosing, on a per-VM basis, whether to intercept
      the SPEC_CTRL and PRED_CMD MSRs.

      x86/paravirt: Remove 'noreplace-paravirt' cmdline option · 12c69f1e
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      The 'noreplace-paravirt' option disables paravirt patching, leaving the
      original pv indirect calls in place.
      
      That's highly incompatible with retpolines, unless we want to uglify
      paravirt even further and convert the paravirt calls to retpolines.
      
      As far as I can tell, the option doesn't seem to be useful for much
      other than introducing surprising corner cases and making the kernel
      vulnerable to Spectre v2.  It was probably a debug option from the early
      paravirt days.  So just remove it.

      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A set of small fixes for 4.15:
      
         - Fix vmapped stack synchronization on systems with 4-level paging
           and a large amount of memory caused by a missing 5-level folding
           which made the pgd synchronization logic to fail and causing double
           faults.
      
         - Add a missing sanity check in the vmalloc_fault() logic on 5-level
           paging systems.
      
         - Bring back protection against accessing a freed initrd in the
           microcode loader which was lost by a wrong merge conflict
           resolution.
      
         - Extend the Broadwell micro code loading sanity check.
      
         - Add a missing ENDPROC annotation in ftrace assembly code which
           makes ORC unhappy.
      
         - Prevent loading the AMD power module on !AMD platforms. The load
           itself is uncritical, but an unload attempt results in a kernel
           crash.
      
         - Update Peter Anvins role in the MAINTAINERS file"

      Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A single fix for a ~10 years old problem which causes high resolution
        timers to stop after a CPU unplug/plug cycle due to a stale flag in
        the per CPU hrtimer base struct.
      
        Paul McKenney was hunting this for about a year, but the heisenbug
        nature made it resistant against debug attempts for quite some time"
