Subject: [PATCH 0/4] KVM: x86/pmu: Counter reprogramming fixes

The headliner is Like's patches to fix a bug where KVM's sleeps with IRQs
disabled due to attempting to pause and reprogram PMU counters in the
VM-Exit fast path.

Patches 1 and 2 (mine) fix mostly theoretical issues found when reviewing
Like's code, and would conflict with Like's patches if posted separately.

This is _very_ lightly tested, borderline RFC, but Like's updated PMU
KUT tests pass, as do the filter selftests, and I'm feeling lucky.

And I'm offline until Monday, so a traditional Friday patch bomb is in
order ;-)

Like Xu (2):
  KVM: x86/pmu: Defer reprogram_counter() to kvm_pmu_handle_event()
  KVM: x86/pmu: Defer counter emulated overflow via pmc->prev_counter

Sean Christopherson (2):
  KVM: x86/pmu: Force reprogramming of all counters on PMU filter change
  KVM: x86/pmu: Clear "reprogram" bit if counter is disabled or
    disallowed
