9feb21ac57 arm64: KVM: Add access handler for event type register
These kind of registers include PMEVTYPERn, PMCCFILTR and PMXEVTYPER
which is mapped to PMEVTYPERn or PMCCFILTR.

The access handler translates all aarch32 register offsets to aarch64
ones and uses vcpu_sys_reg() to access their values to avoid taking care
of big endian.

When writing to these registers, create a perf_event for the selected
event type.

04fe472615 arm64: KVM: Define PMU data structure for each vcpu
Here we plan to support virtual PMU for guest by full software
emulation, so define some basic structs and functions preparing for
futher steps. Define struct kvm_pmc for performance monitor counter and
struct kvm_pmu for performance monitor unit for each vcpu. According to
ARMv8 spec, the PMU contains at most 32(ARMV8_PMU_MAX_COUNTERS)
counters.

Since this only supports ARM64 (or PMUv3), add a separate config symbol
for it.

d35268da66 arm/arm64: KVM: arch_timer: Only schedule soft timer on vcpu_block
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.

3217f7c25b KVM: Add kvm_arch_vcpu_{un}blocking callbacks
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
example).

Therefore provide a generic architecture callback function in line with
what we do elsewhere for KVM generic-arch interactions.

ef748917b5 arm/arm64: KVM: Remove 'config KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS'
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.

62bea5bff4 KVM: add halt_attempted_poll to VCPU stats
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.

84e690bfbe KVM: arm64: introduce vcpu->arch.debug_ptr
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.

337b99bf7e KVM: arm64: guest debug, add support for single-step
This adds support for single-stepping the guest. To do this we need to
manipulate the guests PSTATE.SS and MDSCR_EL1.SS bits to trigger
stepping. We take care to preserve MDSCR_EL1 and trap access to it to
ensure we don't affect the apparent state of the guest.

As we have to enable trapping of all software debug exceptions we
suppress the ability of the guest to single-step itself. If we didn't we
would have to deal with the exception arriving while the guest was in
kernelspace when the guest is expecting to single-step userspace. This
is something we don't want to unwind in the kernel. Once the host is no
longer debugging the guest its ability to single-step userspace is
restored.

56c7f5e77f KVM: arm: introduce kvm_arm_init/setup/clear_debug
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.

35307b9a5f arm/arm64: KVM: Implement Stage-2 page aging
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.

b9085bcbf5 Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
 instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures).
 This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes
 or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This also has to be enabled manually for now,
 but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future.
 
 ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
 tracking
 
 s390: several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
 exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
 it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
 
 MIPS: Bugfixes.
 
 x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
 Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization
 improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation
 fixes.  There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
 timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.
 
 Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
 have already included his tree.
 
 ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place
 by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.  These are not large though, and entirely
 within KVM.

     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"

f781951299 kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
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.

3c1e716508 arm/arm64: KVM: Use set/way op trapping to track the state of the caches
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.

3caa2d8c3b arm/arm64: KVM: make the maximum number of vCPUs a per-VM value
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.

4429fc64b9 arm/arm64: KVM: rework MPIDR assignment and add accessors
The virtual MPIDR registers (containing topology information) for the
guest are currently mapped linearily to the vcpu_id. Improve this
mapping for arm64 by using three levels to not artificially limit the
number of vCPUs.
To help this, change and rename the kvm_vcpu_get_mpidr() function to
mask off the non-affinity bits in the MPIDR register.
Also add an accessor to later allow easier access to a vCPU with a
given MPIDR. Use this new accessor in the PSCI emulation.

f7fa034dc8 arm/arm64: KVM: Clarify KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ABI
It is not clear that this ioctl can be called multiple times for a given
vcpu.  Userspace already does this, so clarify the ABI.

Also specify that userspace is expected to always make secondary and
subsequent calls to the ioctl with the same parameters for the VCPU as
the initial call (which userspace also already does).

Add code to check that userspace doesn't violate that ABI in the future,
and move the kvm_vcpu_set_target() function which is currently
duplicated between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in guest.c to a common
static function in arm.c, shared between both architectures.

5712846808 kvm: Fix page ageing bugs
1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.

2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.

3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

Commit f0a3eaff71 (ARM64: KVM: fix big endian issue in
access_vm_reg for 32bit guest) changed the way we handle CP15
VM accesses, so that all 64bit accesses are done via vcpu_sys_reg.

This looks like a good idea as it solves indianness issues in an
elegant way, except for one small detail: the register index is
doesn't refer to the same array! We end up corrupting some random
data structure instead.

Fix this by reverting to the original code, except for the introduction
of a vcpu_cp15_64_high macro that deals with the endianness thing.

Tested on Juno with 32bit SMP guests.
