Picking the changes from:

  5ef8acbdd687 ("KVM: nVMX: Emulate MTF when performing instruction emulation")

Silencing this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h

No change in tooling ensues, just the x86 kvm tooling gets rebuilt as
those headers are included in its build:

  $ cp arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h
  $ make -C tools/perf
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j12' parallel build

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  ...        disassembler-four-args: [ on  ]

    DESCEND  plugins

    LD       /tmp/build/perf/perf-in.o
    LINK     /tmp/build/perf/perf
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  $

As it doesn't seem to be used there:

  $ grep STATE tools/perf/arch/x86/util/kvm-stat.c
  $

And the 'perf trace' beautifier table generator isn't interested in
these things:

  $ grep regex= tools/perf/trace/beauty/kvm_ioctl.sh
  regex='^#[[:space:]]*define[[:space:]]+KVM_(\w+)[[:space:]]+_IO[RW]*\([[:space:]]*KVMIO[[:space:]]*,[[:space:]]*(0x[[:xdigit:]]+).*'

To get the changes in:

  3e3c8ca5a351 ("arm64: Move __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 definition to uapi headers")

Silencing this tools/perf/ build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h'
  diff -u tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h

Which will probably end up enabling the use of "clone3" in 'perf trace -e',
haven't checked the build with this change on an arm64 system.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "This is the first batch of KVM changes.

  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"

Add TEST opcode to Group3-2 reg=001b as same as Group3-1 does.

Commit

  12a78d43de76 ("x86/decoder: Add new TEST instruction pattern")

added a TEST opcode assignment to f6 XX/001/XXX (Group 3-1), but did
not add f7 XX/001/XXX (Group 3-2).

Actually, this TEST opcode variant (ModRM.reg /1) is not described in
the Intel SDM Vol2 but in AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Vol.3,
Appendix A.2 Table A-6. ModRM.reg Extensions for the Primary Opcode Map.

Without this fix, Randy found a warning by insn_decoder_test related
to this issue as below.
