[PATCH v4 09/15] KVM: arm64: Add support for userspace to suspend a vCPU

Introduce a new MP state, KVM_MP_STATE_SUSPENDED, which indicates a vCPU
is in a suspended state. In the suspended state the vCPU will block
until a wakeup event (pending interrupt) is recognized.
Add a new system event type, KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_WAKEUP, to indicate to
userspace that KVM has recognized one such wakeup event. It is the
responsibility of userspace to then make the vCPU runnable, or leave it
suspended until the next wakeup event.

========================== ===============================================
On x86, this ioctl is only useful after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP. Without an
in-kernel irqchip, the multiprocessing state must be maintained by userspace on
these architectures.
-For arm64/riscv:
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+For arm64:
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If a vCPU is in the KVM_MP_STATE_SUSPENDED state, KVM will emulate the
+architectural execution of a WFI instruction.
+
+If a wakeup event is recognized, KVM will exit to userspace with a
+KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT exit, where the event type is KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_WAKEUP. If
+userspace wants to honor the wakeup, it must set the vCPU's MP state to
+KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE. If it does not, KVM will continue to await a wakeup
+event in subsequent calls to KVM_RUN.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ If userspace intends to keep the vCPU in a SUSPENDED state, it is
+ strongly recommended that userspace take action to suppress the
+ wakeup event (such as masking an interrupt). Otherwise, subsequent
+ calls to KVM_RUN will immediately exit with a KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_WAKEUP
+ event and inadvertently waste CPU cycles.
+
+ Additionally, if userspace takes action to suppress a wakeup event,
+ it is strongly recommended that it also restore the vCPU to its
+ original state when the vCPU is made RUNNABLE again. For example,
+ if userspace masked a pending interrupt to suppress the wakeup,
+ the interrupt should be unmasked before returning control to the
+ guest.
+
+For riscv:
+^^^^^^^^^^
The only states that are valid are KVM_MP_STATE_STOPPED and
KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE which reflect if the vcpu is paused or not.
