commit 0099b7701f5296a758d9e6b945ec96f96847cc2f upstream.

If the vgic hasn't been created and initialized, we shouldn't attempt to
look at its data structures or flush/sync anything to the GIC hardware.

This fixes an issue reported by Alexander Graf when using a userspace
irqchip.

<title>KVM: arm64: Require in-kernel irqchip for PMU support</title>

commit 6fe407f2d18a4f94216263f91cb7d1f08fa5887c upstream.

If userspace creates a PMU for the VCPU, but doesn't create an in-kernel
irqchip, then we end up in a nasty path where we try to take an
uninitialized spinlock, which can lead to all sorts of breakages.

Luckily, QEMU always creates the VGIC before the PMU, so we can
establish this as ABI and check for the VGIC in the PMU init stage.
This can be relaxed at a later time if we want to support PMU with a
userspace irqchip.

When changing the active bit from an MMIO trap, we decide to
explode if the intid is that of a private interrupt.

This flawed logic comes from the fact that we were assuming that
kvm_vcpu_kick() as called by kvm_arm_halt_vcpu() would not return before
the called vcpu responded, but this is not the case, so we need to
perform this wait even for private interrupts.

Dropping the BUG_ON seems like the right thing to do.

When reading back from the list registers, we need to perform
two actions for level interrupts:
1) clear the soft-pending bit if the interrupt is not pending
   anymore *in the list register*
2) resample the line level and propagate it to the pending state

But these two actions shouldn't be linked, and we should *always*
resample the line level, no matter what state is in the list
register. Otherwise, we may end-up injecting spurious interrupts
that have been already retired.

When saving the state of the list registers, it is critical to
reset them zero, as we could otherwise leave unexpected EOI
interrupts pending for virtual level interrupts.

When modifying the active state of an interrupt via the MMIO interface,
we should ensure that the write has the intended effect.

If a guest sets an interrupt to active, but that interrupt is already
flushed into a list register on a running VCPU, then that VCPU will
write the active state back into the struct vgic_irq upon returning from
the guest and syncing its state.  This is a non-benign race, because the
guest can observe that an interrupt is not active, and it can have a
reasonable expectations that other VCPUs will not ack any IRQs, and then
set the state to active, and expect it to stay that way.  Currently we
are not honoring this case.

Thefore, change both the SACTIVE and CACTIVE mmio handlers to stop the
world, change the irq state, potentially queue the irq if we're setting
it to active, and then continue.

We take this chance to slightly optimize these functions by not stopping
the world when touching private interrupts where there is inherently no
possible race.

Now that the new VGIC implementation has reached feature parity with
the old one, add the new files to the build system and add a Kconfig
option to switch between the two versions.
We set the default to the new version to get maximum test coverage,
in case people experience problems they can switch back to the old
behaviour if needed.
