Currently, sysreg has value as 0b0010 for the presence of GICv4.1 in
ID_PFR1_EL1 and ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, instead of 0b0011 as per ARM ARM.
Hence, correct them to reflect ARM ARM.

Change the asm/unistd.h header for arm64 to no longer include
asm-generic/unistd.h itself, but instead generate both the asm/unistd.h
contents and the list of entry points using the syscall.tbl scripts that
we use on most other architectures.

Once his is done for the remaining architectures, the generic unistd.h
header can be removed and the generated tbl file put in its place.

The Makefile changes are more complex than they should be, I need
a little help to improve those. Ideally this should be done in an
architecture-independent way as well.

<title>arm64: convert unistd_32.h to syscall.tbl format</title>

This is a straight conversion from the old asm/unistd32.h into the
format used by 32-bit arm and most other architectures, calling scripts
to generate the asm/unistd32.h header and a new asm/syscalls32.h headers.

I used a semi-automated text replacement method to do the conversion,
and then used 'vimdiff' to synchronize the whitespace and the (unused)
names of the non-compat syscalls with the arm version.

There are two differences between the generated syscalls names and the
old version:

 - the old asm/unistd32.h contained only a __NR_sync_file_range2
   entry, while the arm32 version also defines
   __NR_arm_sync_file_range with the same number. I added this
   duplicate back in asm/unistd32.h.

 - __NR__sysctl was removed from the arm64 file a while ago, but
   all the tables still contain it. This should probably get removed
   everywhere but I added it here for consistency.

On top of that, the arm64 version does not contain any references to
the 32-bit OABI syscalls that are not supported by arm64. If we ever
want to share the file between arm32 and arm64, it would not be
hard to add support for both in one file.

<title>arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417</title>

<content type='text'>
Cortex-X4 and Neoverse-V3 suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS
special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative
instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of
time. This is described in their Software Developer Errata Notice (SDEN)
documents:

* Cortex-X4 SDEN v8.0, erratum 3194386:
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2432808/0800/

* Neoverse-V3 SDEN v6.0, erratum 3312417:
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2891958/0600/

To workaround these errata, it is necessary to place a speculation
barrier (SB) after MSR to the SSBS special-purpose register. This patch
adds the requisite SB after writes to SSBS within the kernel, and hides
the presence of SSBS from EL0 such that userspace software which cares
about SSBS will manipulate this via prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL, ...).

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "S390:

   - Changes to FPU handling came in via the main s390 pull request

   - Only deliver to the guest the SCLP events that userspace has
     requested

   - More virtual vs physical address fixes (only a cleanup since
     virtual and physical address spaces are currently the same)

   - Fix selftests undefined behavior

  x86:

   - Fix a restriction that the guest can't program a PMU event whose
     encoding matches an architectural event that isn't included in the
     guest CPUID. The enumeration of an architectural event only says
     that if a CPU supports an architectural event, then the event can
     be programmed *using the architectural encoding*. The enumeration
     does NOT say anything about the encoding when the CPU doesn't
     report support the event *in general*. It might support it, and it
     might support it using the same encoding that made it into the
     architectural PMU spec

   - Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC (more details on
     individual commits) and add a selftest to verify KVM correctly
     emulates RDMPC, counter availability, and a variety of other
     PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID and therefore are
     easier to validate with selftests than with custom guests (aka
     kvm-unit-tests)

   - Zero out PMU state on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled, it does
     not cause any bug but it wastes time in various cases where KVM
     would check if a PMC event needs to be synthesized

   - Optimize triggering of emulated events, with a nice ~10%
     performance improvement in VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is
     exposed to the guest

   - Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if
     an NMI arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit

   - Fix a bug where KVM would report stale/bogus exit qualification
     information when exiting to userspace with an internal error exit
     code

   - Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo to report 5-level EPT support

   - Rework TDP MMU root unload, free, and alloc to run with mmu_lock
     held for read, e.g. to avoid serializing vCPUs when userspace
     deletes a memslot

   - Tear down TDP MMU page tables at 4KiB granularity (used to be
     1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
     zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
     are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels

   - Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
     overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
     but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization

   - Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
     emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives

   - Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM

   - Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
     ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
     some optimization for both Intel and AMD

   - Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
     elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
     unnecessary work

   - Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
     in-kernel

   - Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
     count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
     in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
     kernel

  x86 Xen emulation:

   - Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
     instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
     reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
     but the underlying host virtual address remains the same

   - When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
     deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
     timer emulation

   - Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
     APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
     behavior)

   - Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
     delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
     IDs

  RISC-V:

   - Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests

   - New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)

   - New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)

   - Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs

  ARM:

   - Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
     architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
     registers

   - Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
     x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
     assigned devices that can tolerate it

   - Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
     to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
     injection path

   - Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
     the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register

   - Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
     selftests

  LoongArch:

   - Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG

   - Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking

   - Do not restart SW timer when it is expired

   - Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest

   - Misc cleanups and fixes as usual

  Generic:

   - Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
     always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
     determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
     replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
     IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else

   - Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
     requiring each architecture to specify it

   - Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers

   - Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h

   - Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
     being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
     there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
     KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
     use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded

   - Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
     itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
     no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker

  Selftests:

   - Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
     infrastructure

   - Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
     library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory

   - Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

     1GiB). KVM doesn't support yielding in the middle of processing a
     zap, and 1GiB granularity resulted in multi-millisecond lags that
     are quite impolite for CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels

   - Allocate write-tracking metadata on-demand to avoid the memory
     overhead when a kernel is built with i915 virtualization support
     but the workloads use neither shadow paging nor i915 virtualization

   - Explicitly initialize a variety of on-stack variables in the
     emulator that triggered KMSAN false positives

   - Fix the debugregs ABI for 32-bit KVM

   - Rework the "force immediate exit" code so that vendor code
     ultimately decides how and when to force the exit, which allowed
     some optimization for both Intel and AMD

   - Fix a long-standing bug where kvm_has_noapic_vcpu could be left
     elevated if vCPU creation ultimately failed, causing extra
     unnecessary work

   - Cleanup the logic for checking if the currently loaded vCPU is
     in-kernel

   - Harden against underflowing the active mmu_notifier invalidation
     count, so that "bad" invalidations (usually due to bugs elsehwere
     in the kernel) are detected earlier and are less likely to hang the
     kernel

  x86 Xen emulation:

   - Overlay pages can now be cached based on host virtual address,
     instead of guest physical addresses. This removes the need to
     reconfigure and invalidate the cache if the guest changes the gpa
     but the underlying host virtual address remains the same

   - When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the
     deadline for Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the
     timer emulation

   - Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its
     APIC to fix a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's
     behavior)

   - Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ
     delivery of Xen events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC
     IDs

  RISC-V:

   - Support exception and interrupt handling in selftests

   - New self test for RISC-V architectural timer (Sstc extension)

   - New extension support (Ztso, Zacas)

   - Support userspace emulation of random number seed CSRs

  ARM:

   - Infrastructure for building KVM's trap configuration based on the
     architectural features (or lack thereof) advertised in the VM's ID
     registers

   - Support for mapping vfio-pci BARs as Normal-NC (vaguely similar to
     x86's WC) at stage-2, improving the performance of interacting with
     assigned devices that can tolerate it

   - Conversion of KVM's representation of LPIs to an xarray, utilized
     to address serialization some of the serialization on the LPI
     injection path

   - Support for _architectural_ VHE-only systems, advertised through
     the absence of FEAT_E2H0 in the CPU's ID register

   - Miscellaneous cleanups, fixes, and spelling corrections to KVM and
     selftests

  LoongArch:

   - Set reserved bits as zero in CPUCFG

   - Start SW timer only when vcpu is blocking

   - Do not restart SW timer when it is expired

   - Remove unnecessary CSR register saving during enter guest

   - Misc cleanups and fixes as usual

  Generic:

   - Clean up Kconfig by removing CONFIG_HAVE_KVM, which was basically
     always true on all architectures except MIPS (where Kconfig
     determines the available depending on CPU capabilities). It is
     replaced either by an architecture-dependent symbol for MIPS, and
     IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM) everywhere else

   - Factor common "select" statements in common code instead of
     requiring each architecture to specify it

   - Remove thoroughly obsolete APIs from the uapi headers

   - Move architecture-dependent stuff to uapi/asm/kvm.h

   - Always flush the async page fault workqueue when a work item is
     being removed, especially during vCPU destruction, to ensure that
     there are no workers running in KVM code when all references to
     KVM-the-module are gone, i.e. to prevent a very unlikely
     use-after-free if kvm.ko is unloaded

   - Grab a reference to the VM's mm_struct in the async #PF worker
     itself instead of gifting the worker a reference, so that there's
     no need to remember to *conditionally* clean up after the worker

  Selftests:

   - Reduce boilerplate especially when utilize selftest TAP
     infrastructure

   - Add basic smoke tests for SEV and SEV-ES, along with a pile of
     library support for handling private/encrypted/protected memory

   - Fix benign bugs where tests neglect to close() guest_memfd files"

FEAT_FPMR defines a new EL0 accessible register FPMR use to configure the
FP8 related features added to the architecture at the same time. Detect
support for this register and context switch it for EL0 when present.

Due to the sharing of responsibility for saving floating point state
between the host kernel and KVM FP8 support is not yet implemented in KVM
and a stub similar to that used for SVCR is provided for FPMR in order to
avoid bisection issues. To make it easier to share host state with the
hypervisor we store FPMR as a hardened usercopy field in uw (along with
some padding).
