Now when both the vtimer and the ptimer when using both the in-kernel
vgic emulation and a userspace IRQ chip are driven by the timer signals
and at the vcpu load/put boundaries, instead of recomputing the timer
state at every entry/exit to/from the guest, we can get entirely rid of
the flush hwstate function.

We don't need to save and restore the hardware timer state and examine
if it generates interrupts on on every entry/exit to the guest. The
timer hardware is perfectly capable of telling us when it has expired
by signaling interrupts.
When taking a vtimer interrupt in the host, we don't want to mess with
the timer configuration, we just want to forward the physical interrupt
to the guest as a virtual interrupt. We can use the split priority drop
and deactivate feature of the GIC to do this, which leaves an EOI'ed
interrupt active on the physical distributor, making sure we don't keep
taking timer interrupts which would prevent the guest from running. We
can then forward the physical interrupt to the VM using the HW bit in
the LR of the GIC, like we do already, which lets the guest directly
deactivate both the physical and virtual timer simultaneously, allowing
the timer hardware to exit the VM and generate a new physical interrupt
when the timer output is again asserted later on.
We do need to capture this state when migrating VCPUs between physical
CPUs, however, which we use the vcpu put/load functions for, which are
called through preempt notifiers whenever the thread is scheduled away
from the CPU or called directly if we return from the ioctl to
userspace.
One caveat is that we have to save and restore the timer state in both
kvm_timer_vcpu_[put/load] and kvm_timer_[schedule/unschedule], because
we can have the following flows:
1. kvm_vcpu_block
2. kvm_timer_schedule
3. schedule
4. kvm_timer_vcpu_put (preempt notifier)
5. schedule (vcpu thread gets scheduled back)
6. kvm_timer_vcpu_load (preempt notifier)
7. kvm_timer_unschedule
And a version where we don't actually call schedule:
1. kvm_vcpu_block
2. kvm_timer_schedule
7. kvm_timer_unschedule
Since kvm_timer_[schedule/unschedule] may not be followed by put/load,
but put/load also may be called independently, we call the timer
save/restore functions from both paths. Since they rely on the loaded
flag to never save/restore when unnecessary, this doesn't cause any
harm, and we ensure that all invokations of either set of functions work
as intended.
An added benefit beyond not having to read and write the timer sysregs
on every entry and exit is that we no longer have to actively write the
active state to the physical distributor, because we configured the
irq for the vtimer to only get a priority drop when handling the
interrupt in the GIC driver (we called irq_set_vcpu_affinity()), and
the interrupt stays active after firing on the host.

As we are about to play tricks with the timer to be more lazy in saving
and restoring state, we need to move the timer sync and flush functions
under a disabled irq section and since we have to flush the vgic state
after the timer and PMU state, we do the whole flush/sync sequence with
disabled irqs.
The only downside is a slightly longer delay before being able to
process hardware interrupts and run softirqs.

This implements the kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() for ARM, and adjusts

If a vcpu exits due to request a user mode spinlock, then
the spinlock-holder may be preempted in user mode or kernel mode.
(Note that not all architectures trap spin loops in user mode,
only AMD x86 and ARM/ARM64 currently do).
But if a vcpu exits in kernel mode, then the holder must be
preempted in kernel mode, so we should choose a vcpu in kernel mode
as a more likely candidate for the lock holder.
This introduces kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel() to decide whether the
vcpu is in kernel-mode when it's preempted. kvm_vcpu_on_spin's
new argument says the same of the spinning VCPU.

When reading the cntpct_el0 in guest with VHE (Virtual Host Extension)
enabled in host, the "Unsupported guest sys_reg access" error reported.
The reason is cnthctl_el2.EL1PCTEN is not enabled, which is expected
to be done in kvm_timer_init_vhe(). The problem is kvm_timer_init_vhe
is called by cpu_init_hyp_mode, and which is called when VHE is disabled.
This patch remove the incorrect call to kvm_timer_init_vhe() from
cpu_init_hyp_mode(), and calls kvm_timer_init_vhe() to enable
cnthctl_el2.EL1PCTEN in cpu_hyp_reinit().

When injecting an IRQ to the VGIC, you now have to present an owner
token for that IRQ line to show that you are the owner of that line.
IRQ lines driven from userspace or via an irqfd do not have an owner and
will simply pass a NULL pointer.
Also get rid of the unused kvm_vgic_inject_mapped_irq prototype.

Since we got support for devices in userspace which allows reporting the
PMU overflow output status to userspace, we should actually allow
creating the PMU on systems without an in-kernel irqchip, which in turn
requires us to slightly clarify error codes for the ABI and move things
around for the initialization phase.

Don't use request-less VCPU kicks when injecting IRQs, as a VCPU
kick meant to trigger the interrupt injection could be sent while
the VCPU is outside guest mode, which means no IPI is sent, and
after it has called kvm_vgic_flush_hwstate(), meaning it won't see
the updated GIC state until its next exit some time later for some
other reason. The receiving VCPU only needs to check this request
in VCPU RUN to handle it. By checking it, if it's pending, a
memory barrier will be issued that ensures all state is visible.

A request called EXIT is too generic. All requests are meant to cause
exits, but different requests have different flags. Let's not make
it difficult to decide if the EXIT request is correct for some case
by just always providing unique requests for each case. This patch
changes EXIT to SLEEP, because that's what the request is asking the
VCPU to do.

We can make a small optimization by not checking the state of
the power_off field on each run. This is done by treating
power_off like pause, only checking it when we get the EXIT
VCPU request. When a VCPU powers off another VCPU the EXIT
request is already made, so we just need to make sure the
request is also made on self power off. kvm_vcpu_kick() isn't
necessary for these cases, as the VCPU would just be kicking
itself, but we add it anyway as a self kick doesn't cost much,
and it makes the code more future-proof.

The current use of KVM_REQ_VCPU_EXIT for pause is fine. Even the
requester clearing the request is OK, as this is the special case
where the sole requesting thread and receiving VCPU are executing
synchronously (see "Clearing Requests" in
Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst) However, that's about
to change, so let's ensure only the receiving VCPU clears the
request. Additionally, by guaranteeing KVM_REQ_VCPU_EXIT is always
set when pause is, we can avoid checking pause directly in VCPU RUN.

arm/arm64 already has one VCPU request used when setting pause,
but it doesn't properly check requests in VCPU RUN. Check it
and also make sure we set vcpu->mode at the appropriate time
(before the check) and with the appropriate barriers. See
Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst. Also make sure we
don't leave any vcpu requests we don't intend to handle later
set in the request bitmap. If we don't clear them, then
kvm_request_pending() may return true when it shouldn't.
Using VCPU requests properly fixes a small race where pause
could get set just as a VCPU was entering guest mode.

We don't need to stop a specific VCPU when changing the active state,
because private IRQs can only be modified by a running VCPU for the
VCPU itself and it is therefore already stopped.
However, it is also possible for two VCPUs to be modifying the active
state of SPIs at the same time, which can cause the thread being stuck
in the loop that checks other VCPU threads for a potentially very long
time, or to modify the active state of a running VCPU. Fix this by
serializing all accesses to setting and clearing the active state of
interrupts using the KVM mutex.

Instead of waiting with registering KVM iodevs until the first VCPU is
run, we can actually create the iodevs when the redist base address is
set. The only downside is that we must now also check if we need to do
this for VCPUs which are created after creating the VGIC, because there
is no enforced ordering between creating the VGIC (and setting its base
addresses) and creating the VCPUs.

For some time now we have been having a lot of shared functionality
between the arm and arm64 KVM support in arch/arm, which not only
required a horrible inter-arch reference from the Makefile in
arch/arm64/kvm, but also created confusion for newcomers to the code
base, as was recently seen on the mailing list.
Further, it causes confusion for things like cscope, which needs special
attention to index specific shared files for arm64 from the arm tree.
Move the shared files into virt/kvm/arm and move the trace points along
with it. When moving the tracepoints we have to modify the way the vgic
creates definitions of the trace points, so we take the chance to
include the VGIC tracepoints in its very own special vgic trace.h file.
