Merge tag 'kvm-ppc-uvmem-5.5-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD
KVM: Add support for secure guests under the Protected Execution Framework (PEF) Ultravisor on POWER. This enables secure memory to be represented as device memory, which provides a way for the host to keep track of which pages of a secure guest have been moved into secure memory managed by the ultravisor and are no longer accessible by the host, and manage movement of pages between secure and normal memory.

+ EINVAL: if ultravisor failed to terminate the secure guest

+
+This ioctl is used to turn off the secure mode of the guest or transition
+the guest from secure mode to normal mode. This is invoked when the guest
+is reset. This has no effect if called for a normal guest.
+
+This ioctl issues an ultravisor call to terminate the secure guest,
+unpins the VPA pages and releases all the device pages that are used to
+track the secure pages by hypervisor.
