c2f24f140c
- Fix a brown paper bag bug where KVM would incorrectly treat Intel PMU MSRs
as valid on AMD.
- Fix a regression in the hardware disable selftest where it checked the wrong
macro when detecting glibc support (breaks at least musl).
- Never clear KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD so that dead VMs stay dead, which is especially
important for KVM_BUG_ON() flows, which often guard more dangerous bugs.
- Re-pend GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES if getting the pages fails, to fix a bug
where KVM would let userspace run a broken setup with stale vmcs12 pages.
- Fix a class of bugs where KVM would fail to fill kvm_run exit fields if
getting nested pages failed.
- Treat reserved entries in the memory attributes xarray as "no attributes",
to fix false positives when checking for mixed attributes.
- Fix memcg accounting for the memory attributes xarray (the xarray library
subtly requires the xarray to be configured for accounting upfront; the gfp
flags taken at runtime are used only rarely).
- Don't pre-reserve xarray entries when storing empty attributes, as storing
NULL must not require memory allocation (KVM and other subsystems heavily
rely on this behavior).
