Merge tag 'kvm_mips_4.11_1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/kvm-mips into HEAD
KVM: MIPS: GVA/GPA page tables, dirty logging, SYNC_MMU etc Numerous MIPS KVM fixes, improvements, and features for 4.11, many of which continue to pave the way for VZ support, the most interesting of which are: - Add GVA->HPA page tables for T&E, to cache GVA mappings. - Generate fast-path TLB refill exception handler which loads host TLB entries from GVA page table, avoiding repeated guest memory translation and guest TLB lookups. - Use uaccess macros when T&E needs to access guest memory, which with GVA page tables and the Linux TLB refill handler improves robustness against TLB faults and fixes EVA hosts. - Use BadInstr/BadInstrP registers when available to obtain instruction encodings after a synchronous trap. - Add GPA->HPA page tables to replace the inflexible linear array, allowing for multiple sparsely arranged memory regions. - Properly implement dirty page logging. - Add KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU support so that changes in GPA mappings become effective in guests even if they are already running, allowing for copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, and guest memory ballooning. - Add KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM support, so writes to specified memory regions are treated as MMIO. - Implement proper CP0_EBase support in T&E. - Expose a few more missing CP0 registers to userland. - Add KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS and KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS support, and allow up to 8 VCPUs to be created in a VM. - Various cleanups and dropping of dead and duplicated code.
