KCOV is code coverage collection facility used, in particular, by
syzkaller system call fuzzer.  There is some interest in using syzkaller
on arm devices.  So port KCOV to arm.

On implementation level this merely declares that KCOV is supported and
disables instrumentation of 3 special cases.  Reasons for disabling are
commented in code.

Tested with qemu-system-arm/vexpress-a15.

We want SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 to be fast. As fast as possible.
So let's intercept it as early as we can by testing for the
function call number as soon as we've identified a HVC call
coming from the guest.

In order to avoid aliasing attacks against the branch predictor
on Cortex-A15, let's invalidate the BTB on guest exit, which can
only be done by invalidating the icache (with ACTLR[0] being set).

We use the same hack as for A12/A17 to perform the vector decoding.

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Add PSCI version selection API</title>

<id>85bd0ba1ff9875798fad94218b627ea9f768f3c3</id>
<content type='text'>
Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1
or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI
implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is
no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM.

But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests
that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2,
let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular
version of the API.

This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where
we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be
save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to
any supported version if the guest requires it.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Avoid VGICv3 save/restore on VHE with no IRQs</title>

<author>
<name>Christoffer Dall</name>

<id>2d0e63e030babe19c94b4453ef4b272c0aacd75a</id>
<content type='text'>
We can finally get completely rid of any calls to the VGICv3
save/restore functions when the AP lists are empty on VHE systems.  This
requires carefully factoring out trap configuration from saving and
restoring state, and carefully choosing what to do on the VHE and
non-VHE path.

One of the challenges is that we cannot save/restore the VMCR lazily
because we can only write the VMCR when ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE is cleared when
emulating a GICv2-on-GICv3, since otherwise all Group-0 interrupts end
up being delivered as FIQ.

To solve this problem, and still provide fast performance in the fast
path of exiting a VM when no interrupts are pending (which also
optimized the latency for actually delivering virtual interrupts coming
from physical interrupts), we orchestrate a dance of only doing the
activate/deactivate traps in vgic load/put for VHE systems (which can
have ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE cleared when running in the host), and doing the
configuration on every round-trip on non-VHE systems.

The vgic-v2-sr.c file now only contains the logic to replay unaligned
accesses to the virtual CPU interface on 16K and 64K page systems, which
is only relevant on 64-bit platforms.  Therefore move this file to the
arm64 KVM tree, remove the compile directive from the 32-bit side
makefile, and remove the ifdef in the C file.

Since this file also no longer saves/restores anything, rename the file
to vgic-v2-cpuif-proxy.c to more accurately describe the logic in this
file.
