Sean Christopherson 6109c5a6ab KVM: arm64: Move vGIC v4 handling for WFI out arch callback hook 
Move the put and reload of the vGIC out of the block/unblock callbacks
and into a dedicated WFI helper.  Functionally, this is nearly a nop as
the block hook is called at the very beginning of kvm_vcpu_block(), and
the only code in kvm_vcpu_block() after the unblock hook is to update the
halt-polling controls, i.e. can only affect the next WFI.

Back when the arch (un)blocking hooks were added by commits 3217f7c25b
("KVM: Add kvm_arch_vcpu_{un}blocking callbacks) and d35268da66
("arm/arm64: KVM: arch_timer: Only schedule soft timer on vcpu_block"),
the hooks were invoked only when KVM was about to "block", i.e. schedule
out the vCPU.  The use case at the time was to schedule a timer in the
host based on the earliest timer in the guest in order to wake the
blocking vCPU when the emulated guest timer fired.  Commit accb99bcd0
("KVM: arm/arm64: Simplify bg_timer programming") reworked the timer
logic to be even more precise, by waiting until the vCPU was actually
scheduled out, and so move the timer logic from the (un)blocking hooks to
vcpu_load/put.

In the meantime, the hooks gained usage for enabling vGIC v4 doorbells in
commit df9ba95993 ("KVM: arm/arm64: GICv4: Use the doorbell interrupt
as an unblocking source"), and added related logic for the VMCR in commit
5eeaf10eec ("KVM: arm/arm64: Sync ICH_VMCR_EL2 back when about to block").

Finally, commit 07ab0f8d9a ("KVM: Call kvm_arch_vcpu_blocking early
into the blocking sequence") hoisted the (un)blocking hooks so that they
wrapped KVM's halt-polling logic in addition to the core "block" logic.

In other words, the original need for arch hooks to take action _only_
in the block path is long since gone.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
