When guest debugging is active, space-switch events might be enforced
by PER. While the PER events are correctly filtered out,
space-switch-events could be forwarded to the guest, although from a
guest point of view, they should not have been reported.
Therefore we have to filter out space-switch events being concurrently
reported with a PER event, if the PER event got filtered out. To do so,
we theoretically have to know which instruction was responsible for the
event. As the applicable instructions modify the PSW address, the
address space set in the PSW and even the address space in cr1, we
can't figure out the instruction that way.
For this reason, we have to rely on the information about the old and
new address space, in order to guess the responsible instruction type
and do appropriate checks for space-switch events.

The guest debug functions work on absolute addresses and should use the
read_guest_abs() function rather than general read_guest() that
works with logical addresses.

When copy_from_user() fails, this code returns the number of bytes
remaining instead of a negative error code. The positive number is
returned to the user but otherwise it is harmless.

When a guest is single-stepped, we want to disable timer interrupts. Otherwise,
the guest will continuously execute the external interrupt handler and make
debugging of code where timer interrupts are enabled almost impossible.
The delivery of timer interrupts can be enforced in such sections by setting a
breakpoint and continuing execution.
In order to disable timer interrupts, they are disabled in the control register
of the guest just before SIE entry and are suppressed in the interrupt
check/delivery methods.

This patch adds support to debug the guest using the PER facility on s390.
Single-stepping, hardware breakpoints and hardware watchpoints are supported. In
order to use the PER facility of the guest without it noticing it, the control
registers of the guest have to be patched and access to them has to be
intercepted(stctl, stctg, lctl, lctlg).
All PER program interrupts have to be intercepted and only the relevant PER
interrupts for the guest have to be given back. Special care has to be taken
about repeated exits on the same hardware breakpoint. The intervention of the
host in the guests PER configuration is not fully transparent. PER instruction
nullification can not be used by the guest and too many storage alteration
events may be reported to the guest (if it is activated for special address
ranges only) when the host concurrently debugging it.
