Contrary to common belief, HCR_EL2.TGE has a direct and immediate
effect on the way the EL0 physical counter is offset. Flipping
TGE from 1 to 0 while at EL2 immediately changes the way the counter
compared to the CVAL limit.
This means that we cannot directly save/restore the guest's view of
CVAL, but that we instead must treat it as if CNTPOFF didn't exist.
Only in the world switch, once we figure out that we do have CNTPOFF,
can we must the offset back and forth depending on the polarity of
TGE.

:
: - allow a VMM to save/restore the physical timer context, something

Emulating EL2 also means emulating the EL2 timers. To do so, we expand
our timer framework to deal with at most 4 timers. At any given time,
two timers are using the HW timers, and the two others are purely
emulated.
The role of deciding which is which at any given time is left to a
mapping function which is called every time we need to make such a
decision.

Having the timer IRQs duplicated into each vcpu isn't great, and
becomes absolutely awful with NV. So let's move these into
the per-VM arch_timer_vm_data structure.
This simplifies a lot of code, but requires us to introduce a

an interrupt number while another vcpu is running, something
that wasn't really well handled so far.

Having a per-vcpu virtual offset is a pain. It needs to be synchronized
on each update, and expands badly to a setup where different timers can
have different offsets, or have composite offsets (as with NV).
So let's start by replacing the use of the CNTVOFF_EL2 shadow register
(which we want to reclaim for NV anyway), and make the virtual timer
carry a pointer to a VM-wide offset.
This simplifies the code significantly. It also addresses two terrible bugs:
- The use of CNTVOFF_EL2 leads to some nice offset corruption
when the sysreg gets reset, as reported by Joey.
- The kvm mutex is taken from a vcpu ioctl, which goes against
the locking rules...

Define pr_fmt using KBUILD_MODNAME for all KVM x86 code so that printks
use consistent formatting across common x86, Intel, and AMD code. In
addition to providing consistent print formatting, using KBUILD_MODNAME,
e.g. kvm_amd and kvm_intel, allows referencing SVM and VMX (and SEV and
SGX and ...) as technologies without generating weird messages, and
without causing naming conflicts with other kernel code, e.g. "SEV: ",
"tdx: ", "sgx: " etc.. are all used by the kernel for non-KVM subsystems.
Opportunistically move away from printk() for prints that need to be
modified anyways, e.g. to drop a manual "kvm: " prefix.
Opportunistically convert a few SGX WARNs that are similarly modified to
WARN_ONCE; in the very unlikely event that the WARNs fire, odds are good
that they would fire repeatedly and spam the kernel log without providing
unique information in each print.
Note, defining pr_fmt yields undesirable results for code that uses KVM's
printk wrappers, e.g. vcpu_unimpl(). But, that's a pre-existing problem
as SVM/kvm_amd already defines a pr_fmt, and thankfully use of KVM's
wrappers is relatively limited in KVM x86 code.

The VGIC can now support the life-cycle of mapped level-triggered
interrupts, and we no longer have to read back the timer state on every
exit from the VM if we had an asserted timer interrupt signal, because
the VGIC already knows if we hit the unlikely case where the guest
disables the timer without ACKing the virtual timer interrupt.
This means we rework a bit of the code to factor out the functionality
to snapshot the timer state from vtimer_save_state(), and we can reuse
this functionality in the sync path when we have an irqchip in
userspace, and also to support our implementation of the
get_input_level() function for the timer.
This change also means that we can no longer rely on the timer's view of
the interrupt line to set the active state, because we no longer
maintain this state for mapped interrupts when exiting from the guest.
Instead, we only set the active state if the virtual interrupt is
active, and otherwise we simply let the timer fire again and raise the
virtual interrupt from the ISR.

kvm_timer_should_fire() can be called in two different situations from
the kvm_vcpu_block().
The first case is before calling kvm_timer_schedule(), used for wait
polling, and in this case the VCPU thread is running and the timer state
is loaded onto the hardware so all we have to do is check if the virtual
interrupt lines are asserted, becasue the timer interrupt handler
functions will raise those lines as appropriate.
The second case is inside the wait loop of kvm_vcpu_block(), where we
have already called kvm_timer_schedule() and therefore the hardware will
be disabled and the software view of the timer state is up to date
(timer->loaded is false), and so we can simply check if the timer should

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.

making sure a blocking VCPU thread would be eventually woken up. That
worked fine in the previous arch timer design, but as we are about to
actually use the soft timer expire function for the physical timer
emulation, change the logic to use a dedicated hrtimer.
This has the added benefit of not having to cancel any work in the sync
path, which in turn allows us to run the flush and sync with IRQs
disabled.
Note that the hrtimer used to program the host kernel's timer to
generate an exit from the guest when the emulated physical timer fires
never has to inject any work, and to share the soft_timer_cancel()

If you're running with a userspace gic or other interrupt controller
(that is no vgic in the kernel), then you have so far not been able to
use the architected timers, because the output of the architected
timers, which are driven inside the kernel, was a kernel-only construct
between the arch timer code and the vgic.
This patch implements the new KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ feature, where we use a
side channel on the kvm_run structure, run->s.regs.device_irq_level, to
always notify userspace of the timer output levels when using a userspace
irqchip.
This works by ensuring that before we enter the guest, if the timer
output level has changed compared to what we last told userspace, we
don't enter the guest, but instead return to userspace to notify it of
the new level. If we are exiting, because of an MMIO for example, and
the level changed at the same time, the value is also updated and
userspace can sample the line as it needs. This is nicely achieved
simply always updating the timer_irq_level field after the main run
loop.
Note that the kvm_timer_update_irq trace event is changed to show the
host IRQ number for the timer instead of the guest IRQ number, because
the kernel no longer know which IRQ userspace wires up the timer signal
to.
Also note that this patch implements all required functionality but does
not yet advertise the capability.

Now that we have a separate structure for timer context, make functions
generic so that they can work with any timer context, not just the
virtual timer context. This does not change the virtual timer

Make cntvoff per each timer context. This is helpful to abstract kvm
timer functions to work with timer context without considering timer
types (e.g. physical timer or virtual timer).
This also would pave the way for ever doing adjustments of the cntvoff
on a per-CPU basis if that should ever make sense.

Current KVM world switch code is unintentionally setting wrong bits to
CNTHCTL_EL2 when E2H == 1, which may allow guest OS to access physical
timer. Bit positions of CNTHCTL_EL2 are changing depending on
HCR_EL2.E2H bit. EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN are 1st and 0th bits when E2H is
not set, but they are 11th and 10th bits respectively when E2H is set.
In fact, on VHE we only need to set those bits once, not for every world
switch. This is because the host kernel runs in EL2 with HCR_EL2.TGE ==
1, which makes those bits have no effect for the host kernel execution.
So we just set those bits once for guests, and that's it.

We are about to modify the VGIC to allocate all data structures
dynamically and store mapped IRQ information on a per-IRQ struct, which
is indeed allocated dynamically at init time.
Therefore, we cannot record the mapped IRQ info from the timer at timer
reset time like it's done now, because VCPU reset happens before timer
init.
A possible later time to do this is on the first run of a per VCPU, it
just requires us to move the enable state to be a per-VCPU state and do
the lookup of the physical IRQ number when we are about to run the VCPU.

Now that the interface between the arch timer and the VGIC does not
require passing the irq_phys_map entry pointer anymore, let's remove
it from the virtual arch timer and use the virtual IRQ number instead
directly.
The remaining pointer returned by kvm_vgic_map_phys_irq() will be
removed in the following patch.

Programming the active state in the (re)distributor can be an
expensive operation so it makes some sense to try and reduce
the number of accesses as much as possible. So far, we
program the active state on each VM entry, but there is some
opportunity to do less.
An obvious solution is to cache the active state in memory,
and only program it in the HW when conditions change. But
because the HW can also change things under our feet (the active
state can transition from 1 to 0 when the guest does an EOI),
some precautions have to be taken, which amount to only caching
an "inactive" state, and always programing it otherwise.
With this in place, we observe a reduction of around 700 cycles
on a 2GHz GICv2 platform for a NULL hypercall.

The arch timer currently uses edge-triggered semantics in the sense that
the line is never sampled by the vgic and lowering the line from the
timer to the vgic doesn't have any effect on the pending state of
virtual interrupts in the vgic. This means that we do not support a
guest with the otherwise valid behavior of (1) disable interrupts (2)
enable the timer (3) disable the timer (4) enable interrupts. Such a
guest would validly not expect to see any interrupts on real hardware,
but will see interrupts on KVM.
This patch fixes this shortcoming through the following series of
changes.
First, we change the flow of the timer/vgic sync/flush operations. Now
the timer is always flushed/synced before the vgic, because the vgic
samples the state of the timer output. This has the implication that we
move the timer operations in to non-preempible sections, but that is
fine after the previous commit getting rid of hrtimer schedules on every
entry/exit.
Second, we change the internal behavior of the timer, letting the timer
keep track of its previous output state, and only lower/raise the line
to the vgic when the state changes. Note that in theory this could have
been accomplished more simply by signalling the vgic every time the
state *potentially* changed, but we don't want to be hitting the vgic
more often than necessary.
Third, we get rid of the use of the map->active field in the vgic and
instead simply set the interrupt as active on the physical distributor
whenever the input to the GIC is asserted and conversely clear the
physical active state when the input to the GIC is deasserted.
Fourth, and finally, we now initialize the timer PPIs (and all the other
unused PPIs for now), to be level-triggered, and modify the sync code to
sample the line state on HW sync and re-inject a new interrupt if it is
still pending at that time.

We currently schedule a soft timer every time we exit the guest if the
timer did not expire while running the guest. This is really not
necessary, because the only work we do in the timer work function is to
kick the vcpu.
Kicking the vcpu does two things:
(1) If the vpcu thread is on a waitqueue, make it runnable and remove it
from the waitqueue.
(2) If the vcpu is running on a different physical CPU from the one
doing the kick, it sends a reschedule IPI.
The second case cannot happen, because the soft timer is only ever
scheduled when the vcpu is not running. The first case is only relevant
when the vcpu thread is on a waitqueue, which is only the case when the
vcpu thread has called kvm_vcpu_block().
Therefore, we only need to make sure a timer is scheduled for
kvm_vcpu_block(), which we do by encapsulating all calls to
kvm_vcpu_block() with kvm_timer_{un}schedule calls.
Additionally, we only schedule a soft timer if the timer is enabled and
unmasked, since it is useless otherwise.
Note that theoretically userspace can use the SET_ONE_REG interface to
change registers that should cause the timer to fire, even if the vcpu
is blocked without a scheduled timer, but this case was not supported
before this patch and we leave it for future work for now.
