[PATCH v2] KVM: selftests: fix MAPC RDbase target formatting in vgic_lpi_stress

Since GITS_TYPER.PTA == 0, the ITS MAPC command demands a CPU ID,
rather than a physical redistributor address, for its RDbase
command argument.
As such, when MAPC-ing guest ITS collections, vgic_lpi_stress iterates
over CPU IDs in the range [0, nr_cpus), passing them as the RDbase
vcpu_id argument to its_send_mapc_cmd().
However, its_encode_target() in the its_send_mapc_cmd() selftest
handler expects RDbase arguments to be formatted with a 16 bit
offset, as shown by the 16-bit target_addr right shift its implementation:
its_mask_encode(&cmd->raw_cmd[2], target_addr >> 16, 51, 16)
At the moment, all CPU IDs passed into its_send_mapc_cmd() have no
offset, therefore becoming 0x0 after the bit shift. Thus, when
vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapc() receives the ITS command in vgic-its.c,
it always interprets the RDbase target CPU as CPU 0. All interrupts
sent to collections will be processed by vCPU 0, which defeats the
purpose of this multi-vCPU test.
Fix by creating procnum_to_rdbase() helper function, which left-shifts
the vCPU parameter received by its_send_mapc_cmd 16 bits before passing
it to its_encode_target for encoding.

v2: Refactor the vcpu_id left shift into procnum_to_rdbase() helper.
Rename and rewrite commit to reflect root cause of bug which was
improper RDbase formatting, not that MAPC expects a physical
address as the RDbase parameter.
To validate the patch, I added the following debug code at the top of vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapc:
u64 raw_cmd2 = le64_to_cpu(its_cmd[2]);
u32 target_addr = its_cmd_get_target_addr(its_cmd);
kvm_info("MAPC: coll_id=%d, raw_cmd[2]=0x%llx, parsed_target=%u\n",
coll_id, raw_cmd2, target_addr);
vcpu = kvm_get_vcpu_by_id(kvm, its_cmd_get_target_addr(its_cmd));
kvm_info("MAPC: coll_id=%d, vcpu_id=%d\n", coll_id, vcpu ? vcpu->vcpu_id : -1);
I then ran `./vgic_lpi_stress -v 3` to trigger the stress selftest with 3 vCPUs.
Before the patch, the debug logs read:
kvm [20832]: MAPC: coll_id=0, raw_cmd[2]=0x8000000000000000, parsed_target=0
kvm [20832]: MAPC: coll_id=0, vcpu_id=0
kvm [20832]: MAPC: coll_id=1, raw_cmd[2]=0x8000000000000001, parsed_target=0
kvm [20832]: MAPC: coll_id=1, vcpu_id=0
kvm [20832]: MAPC: coll_id=2, raw_cmd[2]=0x8000000000000002, parsed_target=0
kvm [20832]: MAPC: coll_id=2, vcpu_id=0
Note the last bit of the cmd string reflects the collection ID, but the rest of the cmd string reads 0. The handler parses out vCPU 0 for all 3 mapc calls.
After the patch, the debug logs read:
kvm [20019]: MAPC: coll_id=0, raw_cmd[2]=0x8000000000000000, parsed_target=0
kvm [20019]: MAPC: coll_id=0, vcpu_id=0
kvm [20019]: MAPC: coll_id=1, raw_cmd[2]=0x8000000000010001, parsed_target=1
kvm [20019]: MAPC: coll_id=1, vcpu_id=1
kvm [20019]: MAPC: coll_id=2, raw_cmd[2]=0x8000000000020002, parsed_target=2
kvm [20019]: MAPC: coll_id=2, vcpu_id=2
Note that the target vcpu and target collection are both visible in the cmd string. The handler parses out the correct vCPU for all 3 mapc calls.
