The cpuidle_haltpoll governor, in conjunction with the haltpoll cpuidle
driver, allows guest vcpus to poll for a specified amount of time before
halting.
This provides the following benefits to host side polling:
1) The POLL flag is set while polling is performed, which allows
a remote vCPU to avoid sending an IPI (and the associated
cost of handling the IPI) when performing a wakeup.
2) The VM-exit cost can be avoided.
The downside of guest side polling is that polling is performed
even with other runnable tasks in the host.
Results comparing halt_poll_ns and server/client application
where a small packet is ping-ponged:
host --> 31.33
halt_poll_ns=300000 / no guest busy spin --> 33.40 (93.8%)
halt_poll_ns=0 / guest_halt_poll_ns=300000 --> 32.73 (95.7%)
For the SAP HANA benchmarks (where idle_spin is a parameter
of the previous version of the patch, results should be the
same):
hpns == halt_poll_ns
idle_spin=0/ idle_spin=800/ idle_spin=0/
hpns=200000 hpns=0 hpns=800000

Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the

a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation
to match that.

Some events can provide a guest with information about other guests or the
host (e.g. L3 cache stats); providing the capability to restrict access
to a "safe" set of events would limit the potential for the PMU to be used
in any side channel attacks. This change introduces a new VM ioctl that
sets an event filter. If the guest attempts to program a counter for
any blacklisted or non-whitelisted event, the kernel counter won't be
created, so any RDPMC/RDMSR will show 0 instances of that event.

Improve the KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE structs by detailing the format
of VMX nested state data in a struct.
In order to avoid changing the ioctl values of
KVM_{GET,SET}_NESTED_STATE, there is a need to preserve
sizeof(struct kvm_nested_state). This is done by defining the data
struct as "data.vmx[0]". It was the most elegant way I found to
preserve struct size while still keeping struct readable and easy to
maintain. It does have a misfortunate side-effect that now it has to be
accessed as "data.vmx[0]" rather than just "data.vmx".
Because we are already modifying these structs, I also modified the
following:
* Define the "format" field values as macros.
* Rename vmcs_pa to vmcs12_pa for better readability.

The KVM XICS-over-XIVE device and the proposed KVM XIVE native device
implement an IRQ space for the guest using the generic IPI interrupts
of the XIVE IC controller. These interrupts are allocated at the OPAL
level and "mapped" into the guest IRQ number space in the range 0-0x1FFF.
Interrupt management is performed in the XIVE way: using loads and
stores on the addresses of the XIVE IPI interrupt ESB pages.
Both KVM devices share the same internal structure caching information
on the interrupts, among which the xive_irq_data struct containing the
addresses of the IPI ESB pages and an extra one in case of pass-through.
The later contains the addresses of the ESB pages of the underlying HW
controller interrupts, PHB4 in all cases for now.
A guest, when running in the XICS legacy interrupt mode, lets the KVM
XICS-over-XIVE device "handle" interrupt management, that is to
perform the loads and stores on the addresses of the ESB pages of the
guest interrupts. However, when running in XIVE native exploitation
mode, the KVM XIVE native device exposes the interrupt ESB pages to
the guest and lets the guest perform directly the loads and stores.
The VMA exposing the ESB pages make use of a custom VM fault handler
which role is to populate the VMA with appropriate pages. When a fault
occurs, the guest IRQ number is deduced from the offset, and the ESB
pages of associated XIVE IPI interrupt are inserted in the VMA (using
the internal structure caching information on the interrupts).
Supporting device passthrough in the guest running in XIVE native
exploitation mode adds some extra refinements because the ESB pages
of a different HW controller (PHB4) need to be exposed to the guest
along with the initial IPI ESB pages of the XIVE IC controller. But
the overall mechanic is the same.
When the device HW irqs are mapped into or unmapped from the guest
IRQ number space, the passthru_irq helpers, kvmppc_xive_set_mapped()
and kvmppc_xive_clr_mapped(), are called to record or clear the
passthrough interrupt information and to perform the switch.
The approach taken by this patch is to clear the ESB pages of the
guest IRQ number being mapped and let the VM fault handler repopulate.
The handler will insert the ESB page corresponding to the HW interrupt
of the device being passed-through or the initial IPI ESB page if the
device is being removed.

Each thread has an associated Thread Interrupt Management context
composed of a set of registers. These registers let the thread handle
priority management and interrupt acknowledgment. The most important
are :
- Interrupt Pending Buffer (IPB)
- Current Processor Priority (CPPR)
- Notification Source Register (NSR)
They are exposed to software in four different pages each proposing a
view with a different privilege. The first page is for the physical
thread context and the second for the hypervisor. Only the third
(operating system) and the fourth (user level) are exposed the guest.
A custom VM fault handler will populate the VMA with the appropriate
pages, which should only be the OS page for now.

When migration of a VM is initiated, a first copy of the RAM is
transferred to the destination before the VM is stopped, but there is
no guarantee that the EQ pages in which the event notifications are
queued have not been modified.
To make sure migration will capture a consistent memory state, the
XIVE device should perform a XIVE quiesce sequence to stop the flow of
event notifications and stabilize the EQs. This is the purpose of the
KVM_DEV_XIVE_EQ_SYNC control which will also marks the EQ pages dirty

Event Queue in the XIVE IC. They will also be used to restore the
configuration of the XIVE EQs and to capture the internal run-time
state of the EQs. Both 'get' and 'set' rely on an OPAL call to access
the EQ toggle bit and EQ index which are updated by the XIVE IC when
event notifications are enqueued in the EQ.
The value of the guest physical address of the event queue is saved in
the XIVE internal xive_q structure for later use. That is when
migration needs to mark the EQ pages dirty to capture a consistent
memory state of the VM.
To be noted that H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG does not require the extra
OPAL call setting the EQ toggle bit and EQ index to configure the EQ,

The XIVE KVM device maintains a list of interrupt sources for the VM
which are allocated in the pool of generic interrupts (IPIs) of the
main XIVE IC controller. These are used for the CPU IPIs as well as
for virtual device interrupts. The IRQ number space is defined by
QEMU.
The XIVE device reuses the source structures of the XICS-on-XIVE
device for the source blocks (2-level tree) and for the source
interrupts. Under XIVE native, the source interrupt caches mostly
configuration information and is less used than under the XICS-on-XIVE
device in which hcalls are still necessary at run-time.
When a source is initialized in KVM, an IPI interrupt source is simply
allocated at the OPAL level and then MASKED. KVM only needs to know
about its type: LSI or MSI.

The current error code documentation for KVM_GET_ONE_REG and
KVM_SET_ONE_REG could be read as implying that all architectures
implement these error codes, or that KVM guarantees which error
code is returned in a particular situation.
Because this is not really the case, this patch waters down the
documentation explicitly to remove such guarantees.
EPERM is marked as arm64-specific, since for now arm64 really is
the only architecture that yields this error code for the
finalization-required case. Keeping this as a distinct error code
is useful however for debugging due to the statefulness of the API
in this instance.

Userspace is only supposed to use KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE when there
is some vcpu feature that can actually be finalized.
This means that documenting KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE as available or
not depending on the capabilities present is not helpful.
This patch amends the documentation to describe availability in
terms of which capability is required for each finalizable feature
instead.
In any case, userspace sees the same error (EINVAL) regardless of
whether the given feature is not present or KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE
is not implemented at all.

A complicated DIV_ROUND_UP() expression is currently written out
explicitly in multiple places in order to specify the size of the
bitmap exchanged with userspace to represent the value of the
KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS pseudo-register.
Userspace currently has no direct way to work this out either: for
documentation purposes, the size is just quoted as 8 u64s.
To make this more intuitive, this patch replaces these with a
single define, which is also exported to userspace as
KVM_ARM64_SVE_VLS_WORDS.
Since the number of words in a bitmap is just the index of the last
word used + 1, this patch expresses the bound that way instead.
This should make it clearer what is being expressed.
For userspace convenience, the minimum and maximum possible vector
lengths relevant to the KVM ABI are exposed to UAPI as
KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MIN, KVM_ARM64_SVE_VQ_MAX. Since the only direct
use for these at present is manipulation of KVM_REG_ARM64_SVE_VLS,
no corresponding _VL_ macros are defined. They could be added
later if a need arises.
Since use of DIV_ROUND_UP() was the only reason for including
<linux/kernel.h> in guest.c, this patch also removes that #include.
