Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull more KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86 KVM changes:
- The usual accuracy improvements for nested virtualization
- The usual round of code cleanups from Sean
- Added back optimizations that were prematurely removed in 5.2 (the
bare minimum needed to fix the regression was in 5.3-rc8, here
comes the rest)
- Support for UMWAIT/UMONITOR/TPAUSE
- Direct L2->L0 TLB flushing when L0 is Hyper-V and L1 is KVM
- Tell Windows guests if SMT is disabled on the host
- More accurate detection of vmexit cost
- Revert a pvqspinlock pessimization"
