kvm_make_all_requests() provides a synchronization that waits until all
kicked VCPUs have acknowledged the kick. This is important for
KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD as it prevents freeing while lockless paging is
underway.
This patch adds the synchronization property into all requests that are
currently being used with kvm_make_all_requests() in order to preserve
the current behavior and only introduce a new framework. Removing it
from requests where it is not necessary is left for future patches.

Some operations must ensure that the guest is not running with stale
data, but if the guest is halted, then the update can wait until another
event happens. kvm_make_all_requests() currently doesn't wake up, so we
can mark all requests used with it.
First 8 bits were arbitrarily reserved for request numbers.
Most uses of requests have the request type as a constant, so a compiler
will optimize the '&'.
An alternative would be to have an inline function that would return
whether the request needs a wake-up or not, but I like this one better
even though it might produce worse assembly.

Make cntvoff per each timer context. This is helpful to abstract kvm

Architecturally, TLBs are private to the (physical) CPU they're
associated with. But when multiple vcpus from the same VM are
being multiplexed on the same CPU, the TLBs are not private
to the vcpus (and are actually shared across the VMID).
Let's consider the following scenario:
- vcpu-0 maps PA to VA
- vcpu-1 maps PA' to VA
If run on the same physical CPU, vcpu-1 can hit TLB entries generated
by vcpu-0 accesses, and access the wrong physical page.
The solution to this is to keep a per-VM map of which vcpu ran last
on each given physical CPU, and invalidate local TLBs when switching
to a different vcpu from the same VM.

This patch allows to build and use vgic-v3 in 32-bit mode.
Unfortunately, it can not be split in several steps without extra
stubs to keep patches independent and bisectable. For instance,
virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-v3.c uses function from vgic-v3-sr.c, handling
access to GICv3 cpu interface from the guest requires vgic_v3.vgic_sre
to be already defined.
It is how support has been done:
* handle SGI requests from the guest
* report configured SRE on access to GICv3 cpu interface from the guest
* required vgic-v3 macros are provided via uapi.h
* static keys are used to select GIC backend
* to make vgic-v3 build KVM_ARM_VGIC_V3 guard is removed along with
the static inlines

vms and vcpus have statistics associated with them which can be viewed
within the debugfs. Currently it is assumed within the vcpu_stat_get() and
vm_stat_get() functions that all of these statistics are represented as
u32s, however the next patch adds some u64 vcpu statistics.
Change all vcpu statistics to u64 and modify vcpu_stat_get() accordingly.
Since vcpu statistics are per vcpu, they will only be updated by a single
vcpu at a time so this shouldn't present a problem on 32-bit machines
which can't atomically increment 64-bit numbers. However vm statistics
could potentially be updated by multiple vcpus from that vm at a time.
To avoid the overhead of atomics make all vm statistics ulong such that
they are 64-bit on 64-bit systems where they can be atomically incremented
and are 32-bit on 32-bit systems which may not be able to atomically
increment 64-bit numbers. Modify vm_stat_get() to expect ulongs.

When modifying the active state of an interrupt via the MMIO interface,
we should ensure that the write has the intended effect.
If a guest sets an interrupt to active, but that interrupt is already
flushed into a list register on a running VCPU, then that VCPU will
write the active state back into the struct vgic_irq upon returning from
the guest and syncing its state. This is a non-benign race, because the
guest can observe that an interrupt is not active, and it can have a
reasonable expectations that other VCPUs will not ack any IRQs, and then
set the state to active, and expect it to stay that way. Currently we
are not honoring this case.
Thefore, change both the SACTIVE and CACTIVE mmio handlers to stop the
world, change the irq state, potentially queue the irq if we're setting
it to active, and then continue.
We take this chance to slightly optimize these functions by not stopping
the world when touching private interrupts where there is inherently no
possible race.

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.
This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

We currently schedule a soft timer every time we exit the guest if the
timer did not expire while running the guest. This is really not
necessary, because the only work we do in the timer work function is to
kick the vcpu.
Kicking the vcpu does two things:
(1) If the vpcu thread is on a waitqueue, make it runnable and remove it
from the waitqueue.
(2) If the vcpu is running on a different physical CPU from the one
doing the kick, it sends a reschedule IPI.
The second case cannot happen, because the soft timer is only ever
scheduled when the vcpu is not running. The first case is only relevant
when the vcpu thread is on a waitqueue, which is only the case when the
vcpu thread has called kvm_vcpu_block().
Therefore, we only need to make sure a timer is scheduled for
kvm_vcpu_block(), which we do by encapsulating all calls to
kvm_vcpu_block() with kvm_timer_{un}schedule calls.
Additionally, we only schedule a soft timer if the timer is enabled and
unmasked, since it is useless otherwise.
Note that theoretically userspace can use the SET_ONE_REG interface to
change registers that should cause the timer to fire, even if the vcpu
is blocked without a scheduled timer, but this case was not supported
before this patch and we leave it for future work for now.

Some times it is useful for architecture implementations of KVM to know
when the VCPU thread is about to block or when it comes back from
blocking (arm/arm64 needs to know this to properly implement timers, for

what we do elsewhere for KVM generic-arch interactions.

Second set of KVM/ARM changes for 4.3-rc2
- Workaround for a Cortex-A57 erratum
- Bug fix for the debugging infrastructure
- Fix for 32bit guests with more than 4GB of address space
on a 32bit host
- A number of fixes for the (unusual) case when we don't use

- Removal of ThumbEE handling on arm64, since these have been

built a CPU
- Remove the KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS limitation which has become
fairly pointless
This patch removes config option of KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS,
and like other ARCHs, just choose the maximum allowed
value from hardware, and follows the reasons:
1) from distribution view, the option has to be
defined as the max allowed value because it need to
meet all kinds of virtulization applications and
need to support most of SoCs;
2) using a bigger value doesn't introduce extra memory
consumption, and the help text in Kconfig isn't accurate
because kvm_vpu structure isn't allocated until request
of creating VCPU is sent from QEMU;
3) the main effect is that the field of vcpus[] in 'struct kvm'
becomes a bit bigger(sizeof(void *) per vcpu) and need more cache
lines to hold the structure, but 'struct kvm' is one generic struct,
and it has worked well on other ARCHs already in this way. Also,
the world switch frequecy is often low, for example, it is ~2000
when running kernel building load in VM from APM xgene KVM host,
so the effect is very small, and the difference can't be observed
in my test at all.

This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.
For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling. This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

This introduces a level of indirection for the debug registers. Instead
of using the sys_regs[] directly we store registers in a structure in
the vcpu. The new kvm_arm_reset_debug_ptr() sets the debug ptr to the
guest context.
Because we no longer give the sys_regs offset for the sys_reg_desc->reg
field, but instead the index into a debug-specific struct we need to
add a number of additional trap functions for each register. Also as the
generic generic user-space access code no longer works we have
introduced a new pair of function pointers to the sys_reg_desc structure
to override the generic code when needed.

This is a precursor for later patches which will need to do more to
setup debug state before entering the hyp.S switch code. The existing
functionality for setting mdcr_el2 has been moved out of hyp.S and now
uses the value kept in vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2.
As the assembler used to previously mask and preserve MDCR_EL2.HPMN I've
had to add a mechanism to save the value of mdcr_el2 as a per-cpu
variable during the initialisation code. The kernel never sets this
number so we are assuming the bootcode has set up the correct value
here.
This also moves the conditional setting of the TDA bit from the hyp code
into the C code which is currently used for the lazy debug register
context switch code.

Loading these values each time is a bit silly (they never change),
and it makes sense to rely on the instruction patching instead.

Until now, KVM/arm didn't care much for page aging (who was swapping
anyway?), and simply provided empty hooks to the core KVM code. With
server-type systems now being available, things are quite different.
This patch implements very simple support for page aging, by clearing
the Access flag in the Stage-2 page tables. On access fault, the current
fault handling will write the PTE or PMD again, putting the Access flag
back on.
It should be possible to implement a much faster handling for Access
faults, but that's left for a later patch.
With this in place, performance in VMs is degraded much more gracefully.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.
So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).
This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

Currently the maximum number of vCPUs supported is a global value
limited by the used GIC model. GICv3 will lift this limit, but we
still need to observe it for guests using GICv2.
So the maximum number of vCPUs is per-VM value, depending on the
GIC model the guest uses.
Store and check the value in struct kvm_arch, but keep it down to
8 for now.
