<id>urn:sha1:81ccda70dd52f445699d9eb49117df5549ab54ce</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5eeaf10eec394b28fad2c58f1f5c3a5da0e87d1c upstream.

Since commit commit 328e56647944 ("KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Defer
touching GICH_VMCR to vcpu_load/put"), we leave ICH_VMCR_EL2 (or
its GICv2 equivalent) loaded as long as we can, only syncing it
back when we're scheduled out.

There is a small snag with that though: kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq(),
which is indirectly called from kvm_vcpu_check_block(), needs to
evaluate the guest's view of ICC_PMR_EL1. At the point were we
call kvm_vcpu_check_block(), the vcpu is still loaded, and whatever
changes to PMR is not visible in memory until we do a vcpu_put().

Things go really south if the guest does the following:

	mov x0, #0	// or any small value masking interrupts
	msr ICC_PMR_EL1, x0

	[vcpu preempted, then rescheduled, VMCR sampled]

	mov x0, #ff	// allow all interrupts
	msr ICC_PMR_EL1, x0
	wfi		// traps to EL2, so samping of VMCR

	[interrupt arrives just after WFI]

Here, the hypervisor's view of PMR is zero, while the guest has enabled
its interrupts. kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq() will then say that no
interrupts are pending (despite an interrupt being received) and we'll
block for no reason. If the guest doesn't have a periodic interrupt
firing once it has blocked, it will stay there forever.

To avoid this unfortuante situation, let's resync VMCR from
kvm_arch_vcpu_blocking(), ensuring that a following kvm_vcpu_check_block()
will observe the latest value of PMR.

This has been found by booting an arm64 Linux guest with the pseudo NMI
feature, and thus using interrupt priorities to mask interrupts instead
of the usual PSTATE masking.

We are currently emulating two timers in two different ways.  When we
add support for nested virtualization in the future, we are going to be
emulating either two timers in two diffferent ways, or four timers in a
single way.

We need a unified data structure to keep track of how we map virtual
state to physical state and we need to cleanup some of the timer code to
operate more independently on a struct arch_timer_context instead of
trying to consider the global state of the VCPU and recomputing all
state.

VHE systems don't have to emulate the physical timer, we can simply
assign the EL1 physical timer directly to the VM as the host always
uses the EL2 timers.

In order to minimize the amount of cruft, AArch32 gets definitions for
the physical timer too, but is should be generally unused on this
architecture.

At the moment we have separate system register emulation handlers for
each timer register. Actually they are quite similar, and we rely on
kvm_arm_timer_[gs]et_reg() for the actual emulation anyways, so let's
just merge all of those handlers into one function, which just marshalls
the arguments and then hands off to a set of common accessors.
This makes extending the emulation to include EL2 timers much easier.

<content type='text'>
Instead of calling into kvm_timer_[un]schedule from the main kvm
blocking path, test if the VCPU is on the wait queue from the load/put
path and perform the background timer setup/cancel in this path.

This has the distinct advantage that we no longer race between load/put
and schedule/unschedule and programming and canceling of the bg_timer
always happens when the timer state is not loaded.

Note that we must now remove the checks in kvm_timer_blocking that do
not schedule a background timer if one of the timers can fire, because
we no longer have a guarantee that kvm_vcpu_check_block() will be called
before kvm_timer_blocking.
