arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: Clarify and correct vgic documentation
The VGIC virtual distributor implementation documentation was written a very long time ago, before the true nature of the beast had been partially absorbed into my bloodstream. Clarify the docs. Plus, it fixes an actual bug. ICFRn, pfff. Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>

* How the whole thing works (courtesy of Christoffer Dall):
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - At any time, the dist->irq_pending_on_cpu is the oracle that knows if
|
||||
* something is pending
|
||||
* - VGIC pending interrupts are stored on the vgic.irq_pending vgic
|
||||
* bitmap (this bitmap is updated by both user land ioctls and guest
|
||||
* mmio ops, and other in-kernel peripherals such as the
|
||||
* arch. timers) and indicate the 'wire' state.
|
||||
* something is pending on the CPU interface.
|
||||
* - Interrupts that are pending on the distributor are stored on the
|
||||
* vgic.irq_pending vgic bitmap (this bitmap is updated by both user land
|
||||
* ioctls and guest mmio ops, and other in-kernel peripherals such as the
|
||||
* arch. timers).
|
||||
* - Every time the bitmap changes, the irq_pending_on_cpu oracle is
|
||||
* recalculated
|
||||
* - To calculate the oracle, we need info for each cpu from
|
||||
* compute_pending_for_cpu, which considers:
|
||||
* - PPI: dist->irq_pending & dist->irq_enable
|
||||
* - SPI: dist->irq_pending & dist->irq_enable & dist->irq_spi_target
|
||||
* - irq_spi_target is a 'formatted' version of the GICD_ICFGR
|
||||
* - irq_spi_target is a 'formatted' version of the GICD_ITARGETSRn
|
||||
* registers, stored on each vcpu. We only keep one bit of
|
||||
* information per interrupt, making sure that only one vcpu can
|
||||
* accept the interrupt.
|
||||
* - If any of the above state changes, we must recalculate the oracle.
|
||||
* - The same is true when injecting an interrupt, except that we only
|
||||
* consider a single interrupt at a time. The irq_spi_cpu array
|
||||
* contains the target CPU for each SPI.
