We should only try to initialize GICv4 data structures on a GICv4
capable system. Move the vgic_supports_direct_msis() check inito
vgic_v4_init() so that any KVM VGIC initialization path does not fail
on non-GICv4 systems.
Also be slightly more strict in the checking of the return value in
vgic_its_create, and only error out on negative return values from the
vgic_v4_init() function. This is important because the kvm device code
only treats negative values as errors and only cleans up in this case.
Errornously treating a positive return value as an error from the
vgic_v4_init() function can lead to NULL pointer dereferences, as has
recently been observed.

We so far allocate the doorbell interrupts without taking any
special measure regarding the affinity of these interrupts. We
simply move them around as required when the vcpu gets scheduled
on a different CPU.
But that's counting without userspace (and the evil irqbalance) that
can try and move the VPE interrupt around, causing the ITS code
to emit VMOVP commands and remap the doorbell to another redistributor.
Worse, this can happen while the vcpu is running, causing all kind
of trouble if the VPE is already resident, and we end-up in UNPRED
territory.
So let's take a definitive action and prevent userspace from messing
with us. This is just a matter of adding IRQ_NO_BALANCING to the
set of flags we already have, letting the kernel in sole control
of the affinity.

At the moment, the in-kernel emulated ITS is not properly reset.
On guest restart/reset some registers keep their old values and
internal structures like device, ITE, and collection lists are not
freed.
This may lead to various bugs. Among them, we can have incorrect state
backup or failure when saving the ITS state at early guest boot stage.
This patch documents a new attribute, KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESET in
the KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group.
Upon this action, we can reset registers and especially those
pointing to tables previously allocated by the guest and free
the internal data structures storing the list of devices, collections
and lpis.
The usual approach for device reset of having userspace write
the reset values of the registers to the kernel via the register
read/write APIs doesn't work for the ITS because it has some
internal state (caches) which is not exposed as registers,
and there is no register interface for "drop cached data without
writing it back to RAM". So we need a KVM API which mimics the
hardware's reset line, to provide the equivalent behaviour to
a "pull the power cord out of the back of the machine" reset.

The second case is inside the wait loop of kvm_vcpu_block(), where we

be disabled and the software view of the timer state is up to date

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.

can safely do this with interrupts disabled in the host kernel on the

The downside is that the cntvoff register can only be programmed from
hyp mode, so we jump into hyp mode and back to program it. This is also
safe, because the host kernel doesn't use the virtual timer in the KVM

Some systems without proper firmware and/or hardware description data
don't support the split EOI and deactivate operation.
On such systems, we cannot leave the physical interrupt active after the
timer handler on the host has run, so we cannot support KVM with an
in-kernel GIC with the timer changes we are about to introduce.
This patch makes sure that trying to initialize the KVM GIC code will
fail on such systems.

We are about to optimize our timer handling logic which involves
injecting irqs to the vgic directly from the irq handler.
Unfortunately, the injection path can take any AP list lock and irq lock
and we must therefore make sure to use spin_lock_irqsave where ever
interrupts are enabled and we are taking any of those locks, to avoid
deadlocking between process context and the ISR.
This changes a lot of the VGIC code, but the good news are that the
changes are mostly mechanical.
