[PATCH v8 0/9] selftests: KVM: Test offset-based counter controls

This series implements new tests for the x86 and arm64 counter migration
changes that I've mailed out. These are sent separately as a dependent
change since there are cross-arch dependencies here.

Patch 1 yanks the pvclock headers into the tools/ directory so we can
make use of them within a KVM selftest guest.

Patch 2 tests the new capabilities of the KVM_*_CLOCK ioctls, ensuring
that the kernel accounts for elapsed time when restoring the KVM clock.

Patches 3-4 add some device attribute helpers and clean up some mistakes
in the assertions thereof.

Patch 5 implements a test for the KVM_VCPU_TSC_OFFSET attribute,
asserting that manipulation of the offset results in correct TSC values
within the guest.

Patch 6 adds basic arm64 support to the counter offset test, checking
that the virtual counter-timer offset works correctly. Patch 7 does the
same for the physical counter-timer offset.

Patch 8 adds a benchmark for physical counter offsetting, since most
implementations available right now will rely on emulation.

Lastly, patch 9 extends the get-reg-list test to check for
KVM_REG_ARM_TIMER_OFFSET if userspace opts-in to the kernel capability.

This series applies cleanly to 5.15-rc1

Tests were ran against the respective architecture changes on the
following systems:

 - Haswell (x86)
 - Ampere Mt. Jade (non-ECV, nVHE and VHE)

v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210816001246.3067312-1-oupton@google.com

v7 -> v8:
 - Rebased to 5.15-rc1
 - Dropped helper for checking if reg exists in reg list (no longer
   necessary)
 - Test and enable KVM_CAP_ARM_VTIMER_OFFSET
 - Add get-reg-list changes
