KVM: x86/MMU: properly format KVM_CAP_VM_DISABLE_NX_HUGE_PAGES capability table

2022-08-11T06:35:37Z

There is unexpected warning on KVM_CAP_VM_DISABLE_NX_HUGE_PAGES capability table, which cause the table to be rendered as paragraph text instead. The warning is due to missing colon at capability name and returns keyword, as well as improper alignment on multi-line returns field. Fix the warning by adding missing colons and aligning the field.

KVM: s390: resetting the Topology-Change-Report

2022-07-20T08:57:37Z

During a subsystem reset the Topology-Change-Report is cleared. Let's give userland the possibility to clear the MTCR in the case of a subsystem reset. To migrate the MTCR, we give userland the possibility to query the MTCR state. We indicate KVM support for the CPU topology facility with a new KVM capability: KVM_CAP_S390_CPU_TOPOLOGY.

KVM: stats: Fix value for KVM_STATS_UNIT_MAX for boolean stats

2022-07-19T12:54:11Z

commit 1b870fa5573e ("kvm: stats: tell userspace which values are boolean") added a new stat unit (boolean) but failed to raise KVM_STATS_UNIT_MAX. Fix by pointing UNIT_MAX at the new max value of UNIT_BOOLEAN.

Documentation: kvm: clarify histogram units

2022-07-14T12:02:09Z

In the case of histogram statistics, the values are always sample counts; the unit instead applies to the bucket range. For example, halt_poll_success_hist is a nanosecond statistic because the buckets are for 0ns, 1ns, 2-3ns, 4-7ns etc. There isn't really any other sensible interpretation, but clarify this anyway in the Documentation.
