Paolo Bonzini c09dd2bb57 Merge branch 'kvm-redo-enable-virt' into HEAD
Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling virtualization in
hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks is to disable and re-enable
virtualization as needed.

The primary motivation for this series is to simplify dealing with enabling
virtualization for Intel's TDX, which needs to enable virtualization
when kvm-intel.ko is loaded, i.e. long before the first VM is created.

That said, this is a nice cleanup on its own.  By registering the callbacks
on-demand, the callbacks themselves don't need to check kvm_usage_count,
because their very existence implies a non-zero count.

Patch 1 (re)adds a dedicated lock for kvm_usage_count.  This avoids a
lock ordering issue between cpus_read_lock() and kvm_lock.  The lock
ordering issue still exist in very rare cases, and will be fixed for
good by switching vm_list to an (S)RCU-protected list.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
