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.

The ARM architecture only saves the exit class to the HSR (ESR_EL2 for
arm64) on synchronous exceptions, not on asynchronous exceptions like an
IRQ. However, we only report the exception class on kvm_exit, which is
confusing because an IRQ looks like it exited at some PC with the same
reason as the previous exit. Add a lookup table for the exception index
and prepend the kvm_exit tracepoint text with the exception type to
clarify this situation.
Also resolve the exception class (EC) to a human-friendly text version
so the trace output becomes immediately usable for debugging this code.

Now that we have page aging in Stage-2, it becomes obvious that
we're doing way too much work handling the fault.
The page is not going anywhere (it is still mapped), the page
tables are already allocated, and all we want is to flip a bit
in the PMD or PTE. Also, we can avoid any form of TLB invalidation,
since a page with the AF bit off is not allowed to be cached.
An obvious solution is to have a separate handler for FSC_ACCESS,
where we pride ourselves to only do the very minimum amount of
work.

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.

This patch extends trace_kvm_exit() to include KVM exit reasons
(i.e. EC of HSR). The tracing function then dumps both exit reason
and PC of vCPU, shown as the following. Tracing tools can use this
new exit_reason field to better understand the behavior of guest VMs.

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.

s390: several optimizations and bugfixes. Also a first: a feature

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.

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.

When the guest accesses I/O memory this will create data abort
exceptions and they are handled by decoding the HSR information
(physical address, read/write, length, register) and forwarding reads
and writes to QEMU which performs the device emulation.
Certain classes of load/store operations do not support the syndrome
information provided in the HSR. We don't support decoding these (patches
are available elsewhere), so we report an error to user space in this case.
This requires changing the general flow somewhat since new calls to run
the VCPU must check if there's a pending MMIO load and perform the write
after userspace has made the data available.

Handles the guest faults in KVM by mapping in corresponding user pages
in the 2nd stage page tables.
We invalidate the instruction cache by MVA whenever we map a page to the
guest (no, we cannot only do it when we have an iabt because the guest
may happily read/write a page before hitting the icache) if the hardware
uses VIPT or PIPT. In the latter case, we can invalidate only that
physical page. In the first case, all bets are off and we simply must
invalidate the whole affair. Not that VIVT icaches are tagged with
vmids, and we are out of the woods on that one. Alexander Graf was nice
enough to remind us of this massive pain.

Adds a new important function in the main KVM/ARM code called
handle_exit() which is called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() on returns
from guest execution. This function examines the Hyp-Syndrome-Register
(HSR), which contains information telling KVM what caused the exit from
the guest.
Some of the reasons for an exit are CP15 accesses, which are
not allowed from the guest and this commit handles these exits by
emulating the intended operation in software and skipping the guest
instruction.
Minor notes about the coproc register reset:
1) We reserve a value of 0 as an invalid cp15 offset, to catch bugs in our
table, at cost of 4 bytes per vcpu.
2) Added comments on the table indicating how we handle each register, for
simplicity of understanding.

All interrupt injection is now based on the VM ioctl KVM_IRQ_LINE. This
works semantically well for the GIC as we in fact raise/lower a line on
a machine component (the gic). The IOCTL uses the follwing struct.
struct kvm_irq_level {
union {
__u32 irq; /* GSI */
__s32 status; /* not used for KVM_IRQ_LEVEL */
};
__u32 level; /* 0 or 1 */
};
ARM can signal an interrupt either at the CPU level, or at the in-kernel irqchip
(GIC), and for in-kernel irqchip can tell the GIC to use PPIs designated for
specific cpus. The irq field is interpreted like this:
bits: | 31 ... 24 | 23 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
field: | irq_type | vcpu_index | irq_number |
The irq_type field has the following values:
- irq_type[0]: out-of-kernel GIC: irq_number 0 is IRQ, irq_number 1 is FIQ
- irq_type[1]: in-kernel GIC: SPI, irq_number between 32 and 1019 (incl.)
(the vcpu_index field is ignored)
- irq_type[2]: in-kernel GIC: PPI, irq_number between 16 and 31 (incl.)
The irq_number thus corresponds to the irq ID in as in the GICv2 specs.
This is documented in Documentation/kvm/api.txt.

This commit introduces the framework for guest memory management
through the use of 2nd stage translation. Each VM has a pointer
to a level-1 table (the pgd field in struct kvm_arch) which is
used for the 2nd stage translations. Entries are added when handling
guest faults (later patch) and the table itself can be allocated and
freed through the following functions implemented in
arch/arm/kvm/arm_mmu.c:
- kvm_alloc_stage2_pgd(struct kvm *kvm);
- kvm_free_stage2_pgd(struct kvm *kvm);
Each entry in TLBs and caches are tagged with a VMID identifier in
addition to ASIDs. The VMIDs are assigned consecutively to VMs in the
order that VMs are executed, and caches and tlbs are invalidated when
the VMID space has been used to allow for more than 255 simultaenously
running guests.
The 2nd stage pgd is allocated in kvm_arch_init_vm(). The table is
freed in kvm_arch_destroy_vm(). Both functions are called from the main
KVM code.
We pre-allocate page table memory to be able to synchronize using a
spinlock and be called under rcu_read_lock from the MMU notifiers. We
steal the mmu_memory_cache implementation from x86 and adapt for our
specific usage.
We support MMU notifiers (thanks to Marc Zyngier) through
kvm_unmap_hva and kvm_set_spte_hva.
Finally, define kvm_phys_addr_ioremap() to map a device at a guest IPA,
which is used by VGIC support to map the virtual CPU interface registers
to the guest. This support is added by Marc Zyngier.
