Merge tag 'kvm-x86-mmu-6.9' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD
KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.9: - Clean up code related to unprotecting shadow pages when retrying a guest instruction after failed #PF-induced emulation. - Zap TDP MMU roots at 4KiB granularity to minimize the delay in yielding if a reschedule is needed, e.g. if a high priority task needs to run. Because KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a zapped non-leaf SPTE, zapping at 1GiB granularity can result in multi-millisecond lag when attempting to schedule in a high priority. - Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace deletes a memslot. - Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory overhead when running kernels built with KVMGT support (external write-tracking enabled), but for workloads that don't use nested virtualization (shadow paging) or KVMGT.
