- Clean up code related to unprotecting shadow pages when retrying a guest
instruction after failed #PF-induced emulation.
- Zap TDP MMU roots at 4KiB granularity to minimize the delay in yielding if
a reschedule is needed, e.g. if a high priority task needs to run. Because
KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a zapped non-leaf
SPTE, zapping at 1GiB granularity can result in multi-millisecond lag when
attempting to schedule in a high priority.
- Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock held for
read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace deletes a memslot.
- Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory overhead when
running kernels built with KVMGT support (external write-tracking enabled),
but for workloads that don't use nested virtualization (shadow paging) or
KVMGT.

Merge tag 'kvm-x86-mmu-6.9' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD
KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.9:

instruction after failed #PF-induced emulation.

a reschedule is needed, e.g. if a high priority task needs to run. Because

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
