Christoffer Dall 4b4b4512da arm/arm64: KVM: Rework the arch timer to use level-triggered semantics
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.
