[PATCH 0/5] KVM/ARM: Fixes for 4.12-rc1

Here's a handful of random fixes I've queued locally that didn't have
a chance to make it in 4.11.

The first two patches avoid stack-protector messing with the HYP code,
as this ends up being a complete disaster.

The following two patches fix a bug introduced in the new vgic, where
we may queue HW interrupts with the Pending+Active state, which is
illegal.

The final patch fixes a misinterpretation of the spec, where we
compute the number of APxRn register based on the number of priorities
instead of using the number of preemption levels.

I've tagged the first 4 patches for stable, given that we're doing
something potentially harmful. The last patch is more of a theoretical
issue at this stage, so probably need for a backport.

  arm64: KVM: Do not use stack-protector to compile EL2 code
  arm: KVM: Do not use stack-protector to compile HYP code
  KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-v2: Do not use Active+Pending state for a HW
    interrupt
  KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-v3: Do not use Active+Pending state for a HW
    interrupt
