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

Upon this action, we can reset registers and especially those
pointing to tables previously allocated by the guest and free

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.

The downside is that the cntvoff register can only be programmed from

safe, because the host kernel doesn't use the virtual timer in the KVM

If the vgic is not initialized, don't try to grab its spinlocks or
traverse its data structures.
This is important because we soon have to start considering the active
state of a virtual interrupts when doing vcpu_load, which may happen
early on before the vgic is initialized.

Using the physical counter allows KVM to retain the offset between the
virtual and physical counter as long as it is actively running a VCPU.
As soon as a VCPU is released, another thread is scheduled or we start
running userspace applications, we reset the offset to 0, so that
userspace accessing the virtual timer can still read the virtual counter
and get the same view of time as the kernel.
This opens up potential improvements for KVM performance, but we have to
make a few adjustments to preserve system consistency.
Currently get_cycles() is hardwired to arch_counter_get_cntvct() on
arm64, but as we move to using the physical timer for the in-kernel
time-keeping on systems that boot in EL2, we should use the same counter
for get_cycles() as for other in-kernel timekeeping operations.
Similarly, implementations of arch_timer_set_next_event_phys() is
modified to use the counter specific to the timer being programmed.
VHE kernels or kernels continuing to use the virtual timer are
unaffected.
