Linus Torvalds e813e65038 ARM: Cleanups and corner case fixes
PPC: Bugfixes
 
 x86:
 * Support for mapping DAX areas with large nested page table entries.
 * Cleanups and bugfixes here too.  A particularly important one is
 a fix for FPU load when the thread has TIF_NEED_FPU_LOAD.  There is
 also a race condition which could be used in guest userspace to exploit
 the guest kernel, for which the embargo expired today.
 * Fast path for IPI delivery vmexits, shaving about 200 clock cycles
 from IPI latency.
 * Protect against "Spectre-v1/L1TF" (bring data in the cache via
 speculative out of bound accesses, use L1TF on the sibling hyperthread
 to read it), which unfortunately is an even bigger whack-a-mole game
 than SpectreV1.
 
 Sean continues his mission to rewrite KVM.  In addition to a sizable
 number of x86 patches, this time he contributed a pretty large refactoring
 of vCPU creation that affects all architectures but should not have any
 visible effect.
 
 s390 will come next week together with some more x86 patches.
