Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM: - Plug race between enabling MTE and creating vcpus - Fix off-by-one bug when checking whether an address range is RAM x86: - Fixes for the new MMU, especially a memory leak on hosts with <39 physical address bits - Remove bogus EFER.NX checks on 32-bit non-PAE hosts - WAITPKG fix" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: KVM: x86/mmu: Protect marking SPs unsync when using TDP MMU with spinlock KVM: x86/mmu: Don't step down in the TDP iterator when zapping all SPTEs KVM: x86/mmu: Don't leak non-leaf SPTEs when zapping all SPTEs KVM: nVMX: Use vmx_need_pf_intercept() when deciding if L0 wants a #PF kvm: vmx: Sync all matching EPTPs when injecting nested EPT fault KVM: x86: remove dead initialization KVM: x86: Allow guest to set EFER.NX=1 on non-PAE 32-bit kernels KVM: VMX: Use current VMCS to query WAITPKG support for MSR emulation KVM: arm64: Fix race when enabling KVM_ARM_CAP_MTE KVM: arm64: Fix off-by-one in range_is_memory

+- kvm->arch.mmu_lock is an rwlock. kvm->arch.tdp_mmu_pages_lock and
+ kvm->arch.mmu_unsync_pages_lock are taken inside kvm->arch.mmu_lock, and
+ cannot be taken without already holding kvm->arch.mmu_lock (typically with

Everything else is a leaf: no other lock is taken inside the critical
sections.
