Board reset requires writing a fresh CPU state. As far as KVM is
concerned, the only thing that blocks reset is that CPU state is
encrypted; therefore, kvm_cpus_are_resettable() can simply check
if that is the case.

So far, KVM has allowed KVM_GET/SET_* ioctls to execute even if the
guest state is encrypted, in which case they do nothing. For the new
API using VM types, instead, the ioctls will fail which is a safer and
more robust approach.
The new API will be the only one available for SEV-SNP and TDX, but it
is also usable for SEV and SEV-ES. In preparation for that, require
architecture-specific KVM code to communicate the point at which guest
state is protected (which must be after kvm_cpu_synchronize_post_init(),
though that might change in the future in order to suppor migration).
From that point, skip reading registers so that cpu->vcpu_dirty is
never true: if it ever becomes true, kvm_arch_put_registers() will
fail miserably.

subj is calling kvm_add_routing_entry() which simply extends
KVMState::irq_routes::entries[]
but doesn't check if number of routes goes beyond limit the kernel
is willing to accept. Which later leads toi the assert
qemu-kvm: ../accel/kvm/kvm-all.c:1833: kvm_irqchip_commit_routes: Assertion `ret == 0' failed
typically it happens during guest boot for large enough guest
Reproduced with:
./qemu --enable-kvm -m 8G -smp 64 -machine pc \
`for b in {1..2}; do echo -n "-device pci-bridge,id=pci$b,chassis_nr=$b ";
for i in {0..31}; do touch /tmp/vblk$b$i;
echo -n "-drive file=/tmp/vblk$b$i,if=none,id=drive$b$i,format=raw
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive$b$i,bus=pci$b ";
done; done`
While crash at boot time is bad, the same might happen at hotplug time
which is unacceptable.
So instead calling kvm_add_routing_entry() unconditionally, check first
that number of routes won't exceed KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING. This way virtio
device insteads killin qemu, will gracefully fail to initialize device
as expected with following warnings on console:

The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

If we update an existing memslot (e.g., resize, split), we temporarily
remove the memslot to re-add it immediately afterwards. These updates
are not atomic, especially not for KVM VCPU threads, such that we can
get spurious faults.
Let's inhibit most KVM ioctls while performing relevant updates, such
that we can perform the update just as if it would happen atomically
without additional kernel support.
We capture the add/del changes and apply them in the notifier commit
stage instead. There, we can check for overlaps and perform the ioctl
inhibiting only if really required (-> overlap).
To keep things simple we don't perform additional checks that wouldn't
actually result in an overlap -- such as !RAM memory regions in some
cases (see kvm_set_phys_mem()).
To minimize cache-line bouncing, use a separate indicator
(in_ioctl_lock) per CPU. Also, make sure to hold the kvm_slots_lock
while performing both actions (removing+re-adding).
We have to wait until all IOCTLs were exited and block new ones from
getting executed.
This approach cannot result in a deadlock as long as the inhibitor does
not hold any locks that might hinder an IOCTL from getting finished and
exited - something fairly unusual. The inhibitor will always hold the BQL.
AFAIKs, one possible candidate would be userfaultfd. If a page cannot be
placed (e.g., during postcopy), because we're waiting for a lock, or if the
userfaultfd thread cannot process a fault, because it is waiting for a
lock, there could be a deadlock. However, the BQL is not applicable here,
because any other guest memory access while holding the BQL would already
result in a deadlock.
Nothing else in the kernel should block forever and wait for userspace
intervention.
Note: pause_all_vcpus()/resume_all_vcpus() or
start_exclusive()/end_exclusive() cannot be used, as they either drop
the BQL or require to be called without the BQL - something inhibitors
cannot handle. We need a low-level locking mechanism that is
deadlock-free even when not releasing the BQL.

Using the new accel-blocker API, mark where ioctls are being called
in KVM. Next, we will implement the critical section that will take
care of performing memslots modifications atomically, therefore
preventing any new ioctl from running and allowing the running ones
to finish.

Commit 012d4c96e2 changed the visitor functions taking Error ** to
return bool instead of void, and the commits following it used the new
return value to simplify error checking. Since then a few more uses
in need of the same treatment crept in. Do that. All pretty
mechanical except for
* balloon_stats_get_all()
This is basically the same transformation commit 012d4c96e2 applied
to the virtual walk example in include/qapi/visitor.h.
* set_max_queue_size()
Additionally replace "goto end of function" by return.
