vhost drivers provide guest VMs with better I/O performance and lower
CPU utilization. This patch allows users to select vhost devices under
KVM configuration menu on ARM. This makes vhost support on arm/arm64
on a par with other architectures (e.g. x86, ppc).

The vgic code on ARM is built for all configurations that enable KVM,
but the parent_data field that it references is only present when
CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY is set:
virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c: In function 'kvm_vgic_map_phys_irq':
virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c:1781:13: error: 'struct irq_data' has no member named 'parent_data'
This flag is implied by the GIC driver, and indeed the VGIC code only
makes sense if a GIC is present. This changes the CONFIG_KVM symbol
to always select GIC, which avoids the issue.

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 patch enables irqfd on arm/arm64.
Both irqfd and resamplefd are supported. Injection is implemented
in vgic.c without routing.
This patch enables CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD and CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.
KVM_CAP_IRQFD is now advertised. KVM_CAP_IRQFD_RESAMPLE capability
automatically is advertised as soon as CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD is set.
Irqfd injection is restricted to SPI. The rationale behind not
supporting PPI irqfd injection is that any device using a PPI would
be a private-to-the-CPU device (timer for instance), so its state
would have to be context-switched along with the VCPU and would
require in-kernel wiring anyhow. It is not a relevant use case for
irqfds.

We can definitely decide at run-time whether to use the GIC and timers
or not, and the extra code and data structures that we allocate space
for is really negligable with this config option, so I don't think it's
worth the extra complexity of always having to define stub static
inlines. The !CONFIG_KVM_ARM_VGIC/TIMER case is pretty much an untested
code path anyway, so we're better off just getting rid of it.

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.
The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.
If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

On an (even slightly) oversubscribed system, spinlocks are quickly
becoming a bottleneck, as some vcpus are spinning, waiting for a
lock to be released, while the vcpu holding the lock may not be
running at all.
This creates contention, and the observed slowdown is 40x for
hackbench. No, this isn't a typo.
The solution is to trap blocking WFEs and tell KVM that we're
now spinning. This ensures that other vpus will get a scheduling
boost, allowing the lock to be released more quickly. Also, using
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT slightly improves the performance
when the VM is severely overcommited.
Quick test to estimate the performance: hackbench 1 process 1000
2xA15 host (baseline): 1.843s
2xA15 guest w/o patch: 2.083s
4xA15 guest w/o patch: 80.212s
8xA15 guest w/o patch: Could not be bothered to find out
2xA15 guest w/ patch: 2.102s
4xA15 guest w/ patch: 3.205s
8xA15 guest w/ patch: 6.887s
So we go from a 40x degradation to 1.5x in the 2x overcommit case,
which is vaguely more acceptable.

Commit d21a1c83c7 (ARM: KVM: define KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS
unconditionally) changed the Kconfig logic for KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS to work around a
build error arising from the use of KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS when CONFIG_KVM=n. The
resulting Kconfig logic is a bit awkward and leaves a KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS always
defined in the kernel config file.
This change reverts the Kconfig logic back and adds a simple preprocessor
conditional in kvm_host.h to handle when CONFIG_KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS is undefined.

This commit introduces the framework for guest memory management
through the use of 2nd stage translation. Each VM has a pointer
to a level-1 table (the pgd field in struct kvm_arch) which is
used for the 2nd stage translations. Entries are added when handling
guest faults (later patch) and the table itself can be allocated and
freed through the following functions implemented in
arch/arm/kvm/arm_mmu.c:
- kvm_alloc_stage2_pgd(struct kvm *kvm);
- kvm_free_stage2_pgd(struct kvm *kvm);
Each entry in TLBs and caches are tagged with a VMID identifier in
addition to ASIDs. The VMIDs are assigned consecutively to VMs in the
order that VMs are executed, and caches and tlbs are invalidated when
the VMID space has been used to allow for more than 255 simultaenously
running guests.
The 2nd stage pgd is allocated in kvm_arch_init_vm(). The table is
freed in kvm_arch_destroy_vm(). Both functions are called from the main
KVM code.
We pre-allocate page table memory to be able to synchronize using a
spinlock and be called under rcu_read_lock from the MMU notifiers. We
steal the mmu_memory_cache implementation from x86 and adapt for our
specific usage.
We support MMU notifiers (thanks to Marc Zyngier) through
kvm_unmap_hva and kvm_set_spte_hva.
Finally, define kvm_phys_addr_ioremap() to map a device at a guest IPA,
which is used by VGIC support to map the virtual CPU interface registers
to the guest. This support is added by Marc Zyngier.
