In the current kvm version, 'kvm_run' has been included in the 'kvm_vcpu'
structure. For historical reasons, many kvm-related function parameters
retain the 'kvm_run' and 'kvm_vcpu' parameters at the same time. This
patch does a unified cleanup of these remaining redundant parameters.

MIPS defines two kvm types:
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE 0
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ 1
In Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst it is said that "You probably want to
use 0 as machine type", which implies that type 0 be the "automatic" or
"default" type. And, in user-space libvirt use the null-machine (with
type 0) to detect the kvm capability, which returns "KVM not supported"
on a VZ platform.
I try to fix it in QEMU but it is ugly:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg05629.html
And Thomas Huth suggests me to change the definition of kvm type:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg03281.html
So I define like this:
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_AUTO 0
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ 1
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE 2
Since VZ and TE cannot co-exists, using type 0 on a TE platform will
still return success (so old user-space tools have no problems on new
kernels); the advantage is that using type 0 on a VZ platform will not
return failure. So, the only problem is "new user-space tools use type
2 on old kernels", but if we treat this as a kernel bug, we can backport
this patch to old stable kernels.

Loongson-3 overrides lwc2 instructions to implement CPUCFG and CSR
read/write functions. These instructions all cause guest exit so CSR
doesn't benifit KVM guest (and there are always legacy methods to
provide the same functions as CSR). So, we only emulate CPUCFG and let
it return a reduced feature list (which means the virtual CPU doesn't
have any other advanced features, including CSR) in KVM.

This patch add Loongson-3 Virtual IPI interrupt support in the kernel.
The current implementation of IPI emulation in QEMU is based on GIC for
MIPS, but Loongson-3 doesn't use GIC. Furthermore, IPI emulation in QEMU
is too expensive for performance (because of too many context switches
between Host and Guest). With current solution, the IPI delay may even
cause RCU stall warnings in a multi-core Guest. So, we design a faster
solution that emulate IPI interrupt in kernel (only used by Loongson-3
now).

In current implementation, MIPS KVM uses IP2, IP3, IP4 and IP7 for
external interrupt, two kinds of IPIs and timer interrupt respectively,
but Loongson-3 based machines prefer to use IP2, IP3, IP6 and IP7 for
two kinds of external interrupts, IPI and timer interrupt. So we define
two priority-irq mapping tables: kvm_loongson3_priority_to_irq[] for
Loongson-3, and kvm_default_priority_to_irq[] for others. The virtual
interrupt infrastructure is updated to deliver all types of interrupts
from IP2, IP3, IP4, IP6 and IP7.

Two new stats for exposing halt-polling cpu usage:
halt_poll_success_ns
halt_poll_fail_ns
Thus sum of these 2 stats is the total cpu time spent polling. "success"
means the VCPU polled until a virtual interrupt was delivered. "fail"
means the VCPU had to schedule out (either because the maximum poll time
was reached or it needed to yield the CPU).
To avoid touching every arch's kvm_vcpu_stat struct, only update and
export halt-polling cpu usage stats if we're on x86.
Exporting cpu usage as a u64 and in nanoseconds means we will overflow at
~500 years, which seems reasonably large.

The use of any sort of waitqueue (simple or regular) for
wait/waking vcpus has always been an overkill and semantically
wrong. Because this is per-vcpu (which is blocked) there is
only ever a single waiting vcpu, thus no need for any sort of
queue.
As such, make use of the rcuwait primitive, with the following
considerations:
- rcuwait already provides the proper barriers that serialize
concurrent waiter and waker.
- Task wakeup is done in rcu read critical region, with a
stable task pointer.
- Because there is no concurrency among waiters, we need
not worry about rcuwait_wait_event() calls corrupting
the wait->task. As a consequence, this saves the locking
done in swait when modifying the queue. This also applies
to per-vcore wait for powerpc kvm-hv.
The x86 tscdeadline_latency test mentioned in 8577370fb0
("KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq") shows that, on avg,
latency is reduced by around 15-20% with this change.

Move the implementations of KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG and KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG
for CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT into common KVM code.
The arch specific implemenations are extremely similar, differing
only in whether the dirty log needs to be sync'd from hardware (x86)
and how the TLBs are flushed. Add new arch hooks to handle sync
and TLB flush; the sync will also be used for non-generic dirty log
support in a future patch (s390).
The ulterior motive for providing a common implementation is to
eliminate the dependency between arch and common code with respect to
the memslot referenced by the dirty log, i.e. to make it obvious in the
code that the validity of the memslot is guaranteed, as a future patch
will rework memslot handling such that id_to_memslot() can return NULL.

Add a wrapper to invoke kvm_arch_check_processor_compat() so that the
boilerplate ugliness of checking virtualization support on all CPUs is
hidden from the arch specific code. x86's implementation in particular
is quite heinous, as it unnecessarily propagates the out-param pattern
into kvm_x86_ops.
While the x86 specific issue could be resolved solely by changing
kvm_x86_ops, make the change for all architectures as returning a value
directly is prettier and technically more robust, e.g. s390 doesn't set
the out param, which could lead to subtle breakage in the (highly
unlikely) scenario where the out-param was not pre-initialized by the
caller.
Opportunistically annotate svm_check_processor_compat() with __init.

KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID is currently always reporting KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on all
architectures. However, on s390x, the amount of usable CPUs is determined
during runtime - it is depending on the features of the machine the code
is running on. Since we are using the vcpu_id as an index into the SCA
structures that are defined by the hardware (see e.g. the sca_add_vcpu()
function), it is not only the amount of CPUs that is limited by the hard-
ware, but also the range of IDs that we can use.
Thus KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID must be determined during runtime on s390x, too.
So the handling of KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID has to be moved from the common
code into the architecture specific code, and on s390x we have to return
the same value here as for KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS.
This problem has been discovered with the kvm_create_max_vcpus selftest.
With this change applied, the selftest now passes on s390x, too.

Introduce support for using MemoryMapIDs (MMIDs) as an alternative to
Address Space IDs (ASIDs). The major difference between the two is that
MMIDs are global - ie. an MMID uniquely identifies an address space
across all coherent CPUs. In contrast ASIDs are non-global per-CPU IDs,
wherein each address space is allocated a separate ASID for each CPU
upon which it is used. This global namespace allows a new GINVT
instruction be used to globally invalidate TLB entries associated with a
particular MMID across all coherent CPUs in the system, removing the
need for IPIs to invalidate entries with separate ASIDs on each CPU.
The allocation scheme used here is largely borrowed from arm64 (see
arch/arm64/mm/context.c). In essence we maintain a bitmap to track
available MMIDs, and MMIDs in active use at the time of a rollover to a
new MMID version are preserved in the new version. The allocation scheme
requires efficient 64 bit atomics in order to perform reasonably, so
this support depends upon CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64=n (ie. currently it
will only be included in MIPS64 kernels).
The first, and currently only, available CPU with support for MMIDs is
the MIPS I6500. This CPU supports 16 bit MMIDs, and so for now we cap
our MMIDs to 16 bits wide in order to prevent the bitmap growing to
absurd sizes if any future CPU does implement 32 bit MMIDs as the
architecture manuals suggest is recommended.
When MMIDs are in use we also make use of GINVT instruction which is
available due to the global nature of MMIDs. By executing a sequence of
GINVT & SYNC 0x14 instructions we can avoid the overhead of an IPI to
each remote CPU in many cases. One complication is that GINVT will
invalidate wired entries (in all cases apart from type 0, which targets
the entire TLB). In order to avoid GINVT invalidating any wired TLB
entries we set up, we make sure to create those entries using a reserved
MMID (0) that we never associate with any address space.
Also of note is that KVM will require further work in order to support
MMIDs & GINVT, since KVM is involved in allocating IDs for guests & in
configuring the MMU. That work is not part of this patch, so for now
when MMIDs are in use KVM is disabled.

There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. First, and less important,
it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due
to a benign race like this:
1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
them.
2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
they were not written to since (3).
This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

When manual dirty log reprotect will be enabled, kvm_get_dirty_log_protect's
pointer argument will always be false on exit, because no TLB flush is needed
until the manual re-protection operation. Rename it from "is_dirty" to "flush",
which more accurately tells the caller what they have to do with it.

After the vcpu_load/vcpu_put pushdown, the handling of asynchronous VCPU

However, it is still not perfect in that the different state of the VCPU
mutex is still hidden in the caller. Separate those ioctls into a new

Move the calls to vcpu_load() and vcpu_put() in to the architecture
specific implementations of kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl() which dispatches
further architecture-specific ioctls on to other functions.
Some architectures support asynchronous vcpu ioctls which cannot call
vcpu_load() or take the vcpu->mutex, because that would prevent
concurrent execution with a running VCPU, which is the intended purpose
of these ioctls, for example because they inject interrupts.
We repeat the separate checks for these specifics in the architecture
code for MIPS, S390 and PPC, and avoid taking the vcpu->mutex and
calling vcpu_load for these ioctls.

KVM API says for the signal mask you set via KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK, that
"any unblocked signal received [...] will cause KVM_RUN to return with
-EINTR" and that "the signal will only be delivered if not blocked by
the original signal mask".
This, however, is only true, when the calling task has a signal handler
registered for a signal. If not, signal evaluation is short-circuited for
SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL, and the signal is either ignored without KVM_RUN
returning or the whole process is terminated.
Make KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK behave as advertised by utilizing logic similar
to that in do_sigtimedwait() to avoid short-circuiting of signals.
