kvm_timer_vcpu_terminate can only be called in two scenarios:
1. As part of cleanup during a failed VCPU create
2. As part of freeing the whole VM (struct kvm refcount == 0)
In the first case, we cannot have programmed any timers or mapped any
IRQs, and therefore we do not have to cancel anything or unmap anything.
In the second case, the VCPU will have gone through kvm_timer_vcpu_put,
which will have canceled the emulated physical timer's hrtimer, and we
do not need to that here as well. We also do not care if the irq is
recorded as mapped or not in the VGIC data structure, because the whole
VM is going away. That leaves us only with having to ensure that we
cancel the bg_timer if we were blocking the last time we called
kvm_timer_vcpu_put().

The use of a work queue in the hrtimer expire function for the bg_timer
is a leftover from the time when we would inject interrupts when the
bg_timer expired.
Since we are no longer doing that, we can instead call
kvm_vcpu_wake_up() directly from the hrtimer function and remove all
workqueue functionality from the arch timer code.

When the VCPU is blocked (for example from WFI) we don't inject the
physical timer interrupt if it should fire while the CPU is blocked, but
instead we just wake up the VCPU and expect kvm_timer_vcpu_load to take
care of injecting the interrupt.
Unfortunately, kvm_timer_vcpu_load() doesn't actually do that, it only
has support to schedule a soft timer if the emulated phys timer is
expected to fire in the future.
Follow the same pattern as kvm_timer_update_state() and update the irq
state after potentially scheduling a soft timer.

kvm_timer_update_state() is called when changing the phys timer
configuration registers, either via vcpu reset, as a result of a trap
from the guest, or when userspace programs the registers.
phys_timer_emulate() is in turn called by kvm_timer_update_state() to
either cancel an existing software timer, or program a new software
timer, to emulate the behavior of a real phys timer, based on the change
in configuration registers.
Unfortunately, the interaction between these two functions left a small
race; if the conceptual emulated phys timer should actually fire, but
the soft timer hasn't executed its callback yet, we cancel the timer in
phys_timer_emulate without injecting an irq. This only happens if the
check in kvm_timer_update_state is called before the timer should fire,
which is relatively unlikely, but possible.
The solution is to update the state of the phys timer after calling
phys_timer_emulate, which will pick up the pending timer state and
update the interrupt value.
Note that this leaves the opportunity of raising the interrupt twice,
once in the just-programmed soft timer, and once in
kvm_timer_update_state. Since this always happens synchronously with
the VCPU execution, there is no harm in this, and the guest ever only
sees a single timer interrupt.

On my GICv3 system, the following is printed to the kernel log at boot:
kvm [1]: 8-bit VMID
kvm [1]: IDMAP page: d20e35000
kvm [1]: HYP VA range: 800000000000:ffffffffffff
kvm [1]: vgic-v2@2c020000
kvm [1]: GIC system register CPU interface enabled
kvm [1]: vgic interrupt IRQ1
kvm [1]: virtual timer IRQ4
kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully
The KVM IDMAP is a mapping of a statically allocated kernel structure,
and so printing its physical address leaks the physical placement of
the kernel when physical KASLR in effect. So change the kvm_info() to
kvm_debug() to remove it from the log output.
While at it, trim the output a bit more: IRQ numbers can be found in
/proc/interrupts, and the HYP VA and vgic-v2 lines are not highly
informational either.

We currently don't allow resetting mapped IRQs from userspace, because
their state is controlled by the hardware. But we do need to reset the
state when the VM is reset, so we provide a function for the 'owner' of
the mapped interrupt to reset the interrupt state.
Currently only the timer uses mapped interrupts, so we call this
function from the timer reset logic.

In AArch64/AArch32, the virtual counter uses a fixed virtual offset
of zero in the following situations as per ARMv8 specifications:
1) HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, and CNTVCT_EL0/CNTVCT are read from EL2.
2) HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}, and either:
— CNTVCT_EL0 is read from Non-secure EL0 or EL2.
— CNTVCT is read from Non-secure EL0.
So, no need to zero CNTVOFF_EL2/CNTVOFF for VHE case.

When introducing support for irqchip in userspace we needed a way to
mask the timer signal to prevent the guest continuously exiting due to a
screaming timer.
We did this by disabling the corresponding percpu interrupt on the
host interrupt controller, because we cannot rely on the host system
having a GIC, and therefore cannot make any assumptions about having an
active state to hide the timer signal.
Unfortunately, when introducing this feature, it became entirely
possible that a VCPU which belongs to a VM that has a userspace irqchip
can disable the vtimer irq on the host on some physical CPU, and then go
away without ever enabling the vtimer irq on that physical CPU again.
This means that using irqchips in userspace on a system that also
supports running VMs with an in-kernel GIC can prevent forward progress
from in-kernel GIC VMs.
Later on, when we started taking virtual timer interrupts in the arch
timer code, we would also leave this timer state active for userspace
irqchip VMs, because we leave it up to a VGIC-enabled guest to
deactivate the hardware IRQ using the HW bit in the LR.
Both issues are solved by only using the enable/disable trick on systems
that do not have a host GIC which supports the active state, because all
VMs on such systems must use irqchips in userspace. Systems that have a
working GIC with support for an active state use the active state to
mask the timer signal for both userspace and in-kernel irqchips.

When I introduced a static key to avoid work in the critical path for
userspace irqchips which is very rarely used, I accidentally messed up
my logic and used && where I should have used ||, because the point was
to short-circuit the evaluation in case userspace irqchips weren't even
in use.

After the recently introduced support for level-triggered mapped
interrupt, I accidentally left the VCPU thread busily going back and
forward between the guest and the hypervisor whenever the guest was
blocking, because I would always incorrectly report that a timer
interrupt was pending.
This is because the timer->irq.level field is not valid for mapped
interrupts, where we offload the level state to the hardware, and as a
result this field is always true.
Luckily the problem can be relatively easily solved by not checking the
cached signal state of either timer in kvm_timer_should_fire() but
instead compute the timer state on the fly, which we do already if the
cached signal state wasn't high. In fact, the only reason for checking
the cached signal state was a tiny optimization which would only be
potentially faster when the polling loop detects a pending timer
interrupt, which is quite unlikely.
Instead of duplicating the logic from kvm_arch_timer_handler(), we
enlighten kvm_timer_should_fire() to report something valid when the
timer state is loaded onto the hardware. We can then call this from
kvm_arch_timer_handler() as well and avoid the call to
__timer_snapshot_state() in kvm_arch_timer_get_input_level().

We currently check if the VM has a userspace irqchip in several places
along the critical path, and if so, we do some work which is only
required for having an irqchip in userspace. This is unfortunate, as we
could avoid doing any work entirely, if we didn't have to support
irqchip in userspace.
Realizing the userspace irqchip on ARM is mostly a developer or hobby
feature, and is unlikely to be used in servers or other scenarios where
performance is a priority, we can use a refcounted static key to only
check the irqchip configuration when we have at least one VM that uses
an irqchip in userspace.

The VGIC can now support the life-cycle of mapped level-triggered
interrupts, and we no longer have to read back the timer state on every
exit from the VM if we had an asserted timer interrupt signal, because
the VGIC already knows if we hit the unlikely case where the guest
disables the timer without ACKing the virtual timer interrupt.
This means we rework a bit of the code to factor out the functionality
to snapshot the timer state from vtimer_save_state(), and we can reuse
this functionality in the sync path when we have an irqchip in
userspace, and also to support our implementation of the
get_input_level() function for the timer.
This change also means that we can no longer rely on the timer's view of
the interrupt line to set the active state, because we no longer
maintain this state for mapped interrupts when exiting from the guest.
Instead, we only set the active state if the virtual interrupt is
active, and otherwise we simply let the timer fire again and raise the
virtual interrupt from the ISR.

The GIC sometimes need to sample the physical line of a mapped
interrupt. As we know this to be notoriously slow, provide a callback
function for devices (such as the timer) which can do this much faster
than talking to the distributor, for example by comparing a few
in-memory values. Fall back to the good old method of poking the
physical GIC if no callback is provided.

The timer logic was designed after a strict idea of modeling an
interrupt line level in software, meaning that only transitions in the
level need to be reported to the VGIC. This works well for the timer,
because the arch timer code is in complete control of the device and can
track the transitions of the line.
However, as we are about to support using the HW bit in the VGIC not
just for the timer, but also for VFIO which cannot track transitions of
the interrupt line, we have to decide on an interface between the GIC
and other subsystems for level triggered mapped interrupts, which both
the timer and VFIO can use.
VFIO only sees an asserting transition of the physical interrupt line,
and tells the VGIC when that happens. That means that part of the
interrupt flow is offloaded to the hardware.
To use the same interface for VFIO devices and the timer, we therefore
have to change the timer (we cannot change VFIO because it doesn't know
the details of the device it is assigning to a VM).
Luckily, changing the timer is simple, we just need to stop 'caching'
the line level, but instead let the VGIC know the state of the timer
every time there is a potential change in the line level, and when the
line level should be asserted from the timer ISR. The VGIC can ignore
extra notifications using its validate mechanism.

When enabling the timer on the first run, we fail to ever restore the
state and mark it as loaded. That means, that in the initial entry to
the VCPU ioctl, unless we exit to userspace for some reason such as a
pending signal, if the guest programs a timer and blocks, we will wait
forever, because we never read back the hardware state (the loaded flag
is not set), and so we think the timer is disabled, and we never
schedule a background soft timer.
The end result? The VCPU blocks forever, and the only solution is to
kill the thread.

The recent timer rework was assuming that once the timer was disabled,
we should no longer see any interrupts from the timer. This assumption
turns out to not be true, and instead we have to handle the case when
the timer ISR runs even after the timer has been disabled.
This requires a couple of changes:
First, we should never overwrite the cached guest state of the timer
control register when the ISR runs, because KVM may have disabled its
timers when doing vcpu_put(), even though the guest still had the timer
enabled.
Second, we shouldn't assume that the timer is actually firing just
because we see an interrupt, but we should check the actual state of the
timer in the timer control register to understand if the hardware timer
is really firing or not.
We also add an ISB to vtimer_save_state() to ensure the timer is
actually disabled once we enable interrupts, which should clarify the
intention of the implementation, and reduce the risk of unwanted
interrupts.

After being lazy with saving/restoring the timer state, we defer that
work to vcpu_load and vcpu_put, which ensure that the timer state is
loaded on the hardware timers whenever the VCPU runs.
Unfortunately, we are failing to do that the first time vcpu_load()
runs, because the timer has not yet been enabled at that time. As long
as the initialized timer state matches what happens to be in the
hardware (a disabled timer, because we never leave the timer screaming),
this does not show up as a problem, but is nevertheless incorrect.
The solution is simple; disable preemption while setting the timer to be
enabled, and call the timer load function when first enabling the timer.

kvm_timer_should_fire() can be called in two different situations from
the kvm_vcpu_block().
The first case is before calling kvm_timer_schedule(), used for wait
polling, and in this case the VCPU thread is running and the timer state
is loaded onto the hardware so all we have to do is check if the virtual
interrupt lines are asserted, becasue the timer interrupt handler
functions will raise those lines as appropriate.
The second case is inside the wait loop of kvm_vcpu_block(), where we
have already called kvm_timer_schedule() and therefore the hardware will
be disabled and the software view of the timer state is up to date
(timer->loaded is false), and so we can simply check if the timer should
fire by looking at the software state.

There is no need to schedule and cancel a hrtimer when entering and

Now when the register modifications from the guest go through the

We don't need to save and restore the hardware timer state and examine
if it generates interrupts on on every entry/exit to the guest. The
timer hardware is perfectly capable of telling us when it has expired
by signaling interrupts.
When taking a vtimer interrupt in the host, we don't want to mess with
the timer configuration, we just want to forward the physical interrupt
to the guest as a virtual interrupt. We can use the split priority drop
and deactivate feature of the GIC to do this, which leaves an EOI'ed
interrupt active on the physical distributor, making sure we don't keep
taking timer interrupts which would prevent the guest from running. We
can then forward the physical interrupt to the VM using the HW bit in
the LR of the GIC, like we do already, which lets the guest directly
deactivate both the physical and virtual timer simultaneously, allowing
the timer hardware to exit the VM and generate a new physical interrupt
when the timer output is again asserted later on.
We do need to capture this state when migrating VCPUs between physical
CPUs, however, which we use the vcpu put/load functions for, which are
called through preempt notifiers whenever the thread is scheduled away
from the CPU or called directly if we return from the ioctl to
userspace.
One caveat is that we have to save and restore the timer state in both
kvm_timer_vcpu_[put/load] and kvm_timer_[schedule/unschedule], because
we can have the following flows:
1. kvm_vcpu_block
2. kvm_timer_schedule
3. schedule
4. kvm_timer_vcpu_put (preempt notifier)
5. schedule (vcpu thread gets scheduled back)
6. kvm_timer_vcpu_load (preempt notifier)
7. kvm_timer_unschedule
And a version where we don't actually call schedule:
1. kvm_vcpu_block
2. kvm_timer_schedule
7. kvm_timer_unschedule
Since kvm_timer_[schedule/unschedule] may not be followed by put/load,
but put/load also may be called independently, we call the timer
save/restore functions from both paths. Since they rely on the loaded
flag to never save/restore when unnecessary, this doesn't cause any
harm, and we ensure that all invokations of either set of functions work
as intended.
An added benefit beyond not having to read and write the timer sysregs
on every entry and exit is that we no longer have to actively write the
active state to the physical distributor, because we configured the
irq for the vtimer to only get a priority drop when handling the
interrupt in the GIC driver (we called irq_set_vcpu_affinity()), and
the interrupt stays active after firing on the host.

As we are about to be lazy with saving and restoring the timer

out of the hyp code. All virtual timer registers can be programmed from
EL1 and since the arch timer is always a level triggered interrupt we
can safely do this with interrupts disabled in the host kernel on the
way to the guest without taking vtimer interrupts in the host kernel
(yet).
The downside is that the cntvoff register can only be programmed from
hyp mode, so we jump into hyp mode and back to program it. This is also
safe, because the host kernel doesn't use the virtual timer in the KVM
code. It may add a little performance performance penalty, but only
until following commits where we move this operation to vcpu load/put.

We were using the same hrtimer for emulating the physical timer and for

emulation, change the logic to use a dedicated hrtimer.
This has the added benefit of not having to cancel any work in the sync
path, which in turn allows us to run the flush and sync with IRQs
disabled.
Note that the hrtimer used to program the host kernel's timer to
generate an exit from the guest when the emulated physical timer fires
never has to inject any work, and to share the soft_timer_cancel()

We check if other in-kernel devices have already been connected to the
GIC for a particular interrupt line when possible.
For the PMU, we can do this whenever setting the PMU interrupt number
from userspace.
For the timers, we have to wait until we try to enable the timer,
because we have a concept of default IRQ numbers that userspace
shouldn't have to work around in the initialization phase.

First we define an ABI using the vcpu devices that lets userspace set
the interrupt numbers for the various timers on both the 32-bit and
64-bit KVM/ARM implementations.
Second, we add the definitions for the groups and attributes introduced
by the above ABI. (We add the PMU define on the 32-bit side as well for
symmetry and it may get used some day.)
Third, we set up the arch-specific vcpu device operation handlers to
call into the timer code for anything related to the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_CTRL group.
Fourth, we implement support for getting and setting the timer interrupt
numbers using the above defined ABI in the arch timer code.
Fifth, we introduce error checking upon enabling the arch timer (which
is called when first running a VCPU) to check that all VCPUs are
configured to use the same PPI for the timer (as mandated by the
architecture) and that the virtual and physical timers are not
configured to use the same IRQ number.

We currently initialize the arch timer IRQ numbers from the reset code,
presumably because we once intended to model multiple CPU or SoC types
from within the kernel and have hard-coded reset values in the reset
code.
As we are moving towards userspace being in charge of more fine-grained
CPU emulation and stitching together the pieces needed to emulate a
particular type of CPU, we should no longer have a tight coupling
between resetting a VCPU and setting IRQ numbers.
Therefore, move the logic to define and use the default IRQ numbers to
the timer code and set the IRQ number immediately when creating the
VCPU.

The timer work is only scheduled for a VCPU when that VCPU is
blocked. This means we only need to wake it up, not kick (IPI)
it. While calling kvm_vcpu_kick() would just do the wake up,
and not kick, anyway, let's change this to avoid request-less
vcpu kicks, as they're generally not a good idea (see
"Request-less VCPU Kicks" in
Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst)

When not using an in-kernel VGIC, but instead emulating an interrupt
controller in userspace, we should report the PMU overflow status to
that userspace interrupt controller using the KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ
feature.

If you're running with a userspace gic or other interrupt controller
(that is no vgic in the kernel), then you have so far not been able to
use the architected timers, because the output of the architected
timers, which are driven inside the kernel, was a kernel-only construct
between the arch timer code and the vgic.
This patch implements the new KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ feature, where we use a
side channel on the kvm_run structure, run->s.regs.device_irq_level, to
always notify userspace of the timer output levels when using a userspace
irqchip.
This works by ensuring that before we enter the guest, if the timer
output level has changed compared to what we last told userspace, we
don't enter the guest, but instead return to userspace to notify it of
the new level. If we are exiting, because of an MMIO for example, and
the level changed at the same time, the value is also updated and
userspace can sample the line as it needs. This is nicely achieved
simply always updating the timer_irq_level field after the main run
loop.
Note that the kvm_timer_update_irq trace event is changed to show the
host IRQ number for the timer instead of the guest IRQ number, because
the kernel no longer know which IRQ userspace wires up the timer signal
to.
Also note that this patch implements all required functionality but does
not yet advertise the capability.

Currently we check if we have an in-kernel irqchip and if the vgic was
properly implemented several places in the arch timer code. But, we
already predicate our enablement of the arm timers on having a valid
and initialized gic, so we can simply check if the timers are enabled or
not.
This also gets rid of the ugly "error that's not an error but used to
signal that the timer shouldn't poke the gic" construct we have.

Set a background timer for the EL1 physical timer emulation while VMs
are running, so that VMs get the physical timer interrupts in a timely
manner.
Schedule the background timer on entry to the VM and cancel it on exit.
This would not have any performance impact to the guest OSes that
currently use the virtual timer since the physical timer is always not
enabled.

Make cntvoff per each timer context. This is helpful to abstract kvm
timer functions to work with timer context without considering timer
types (e.g. physical timer or virtual timer).
This also would pave the way for ever doing adjustments of the cntvoff
on a per-CPU basis if that should ever make sense.
