Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Paolo writes:
"It's mostly small bugfixes and cleanups, mostly around x86 nested
virtualization. One important change, not related to nested
virtualization, is that the ability for the guest kernel to trap
CPUID instructions (in Linux that's the ARCH_SET_CPUID arch_prctl) is
now masked by default. This is because the feature is detected
through an MSR; a very bad idea that Intel seems to like more and
more. Some applications choke if the other fields of that MSR are
not initialized as on real hardware, hence we have to disable the
whole MSR by default, as was the case before Linux 4.12."
