[PATCH v7 0/7] KVM: arm64: Add idempotent controls to migrate guest counter

[Oliver Upton]

Currently, on KVM/arm64, we only allow a VMM to migrate the guest's
virtual counter by-value. Saving and restoring the counter by value is
problematic in the fact that the recorded state is not idempotent.
Furthermore, we obfuscate from userspace the fact that the architecture
actually provides offset-based controls.

Another issue is that KVM/arm64 doesn't provide userspace with the
controls of the physical counter-timer. This series aims to address both
issues by adding offset-based controls for the virtual and physical
counters.

Patches 1-2 are refactor changes required to provide offset controls to
userspace and putting in some generic plumbing to use for both physical
and virtual offsets.

Patch 3 exposes a vCPU's virtual offset through the KVM_*_ONE_REG
ioctls. When NV support is added to KVM, CNTVOFF_EL2 will be considered
a guest system register. So, it is safe to expose it now through that
ioctl.

Patch 4 adds a cpufeature bit to detect 'full' ECV implementations,
providing EL2 with the ability to offset the physical counter-timer.

Patch 5 exposes a vCPU's physical offset as a vCPU device attribute.
This is deliberate, as the attribute is not architectural; KVM uses this
attribute to track the host<->guest offset.

Patch 6 is a prepatory change for the sake of physical offset emulation,
as counter-timer traps must be configured separately for each vCPU.

Patch 7 allows non-ECV hosts to support the physical offset vCPU device
attribute, by trapping and emulating the physical counter registers.

This series was tested on an Ampere Mt. Jade system (non-ECV, VHE and
nVHE) as well as the ARM Base RevC FVP (ECV, VHE and nVHE). Patches
apply to kvmarm/next at the following commit:

ae280335cdb5 ("Merge branch kvm-arm64/mmu/el2-tracking into kvmarm-master/next")

Selftests for these changes are being mailed as a separate series, since
there exist dependencies betwen both x86 and arm64.

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210804085819.846610-1-oupton@google.com

v6 -> v7:
 - Fixed typo in documentation (Marc)
 - Clean up some unused variables (Drew)
 - Added trap configuration for ECV+nVHE (Marc)
 - Documented dependency on SCR_EL3.ECVEn (Marc)
 - wrap up ptimer_emulation_required() for use in hyp and kernel code
   (Drew)
 - check static branch condition first (Drew)
 - s/cpus_have_const_cap/cpus_have_final_cap/ (Marc)
 - s/ARM64_ECV/ARM64_HAS_ECV2/
 - Emulate CNTPCTSS_EL2 if ECV2 not present (Marc)
 - Reordered the introduction of some functions to ensure that we don't
   have unused functions in the middle of the series.
 - Cleaned up the read side of CNTVOFF_EL2 (from userspace). Don't
   open-code the answer based on the difference of hardware offsets,
   just use the guest system register value we stashed on the write
   side.
