<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Reset mapped IRQs on VM reset</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Pull KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
 "ARM:

   - icache invalidation optimizations, improving VM startup time

   - support for forwarded level-triggered interrupts, improving
     performance for timers and passthrough platform devices

   - a small fix for power-management notifiers, and some cosmetic
     changes

  PPC:

   - add MMIO emulation for vector loads and stores

   - allow HPT guests to run on a radix host on POWER9 v2.2 CPUs without
     requiring the complex thread synchronization of older CPU versions

   - improve the handling of escalation interrupts with the XIVE
     interrupt controller

   - support decrement register migration

   - various cleanups and bugfixes.

  s390:

   - Cornelia Huck passed maintainership to Janosch Frank

   - exitless interrupts for emulated devices

   - cleanup of cpuflag handling

   - kvm_stat counter improvements

   - VSIE improvements

   - mm cleanup

  x86:

   - hypervisor part of SEV

   - UMIP, RDPID, and MSR_SMI_COUNT emulation

   - paravirtualized TLB shootdown using the new KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED bit

   - allow guests to see TOPOEXT, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, and more
     AVX512 features

   - show vcpu id in its anonymous inode name

   - many fixes and cleanups

   - per-VCPU MSR bitmaps (already merged through x86/pti branch)

   - stable KVM clock when nesting on Hyper-V (merged through
     x86/hyperv)"

 "As I mentioned in the last pull request, there's a second batch of
  security updates for arm64 with mitigations for Spectre/v1 and an
  improved one for Spectre/v2 (via a newly defined firmware interface

  Spectre v1 mitigation:

   - back-end version of array_index_mask_nospec()

   - masking of the syscall number to restrict speculation through the
     syscall table

   - masking of __user pointers prior to deference in uaccess routines

  Spectre v2 mitigation update:

   - using the new firmware SMC calling convention specification update

   - removing the current PSCI GET_VERSION firmware call mitigation as
     vendors are deploying new SMCCC-capable firmware

   - additional branch predictor hardening for synchronous exceptions
     and interrupts while in user mode

  Meltdown v3 mitigation update:

    - Cavium Thunder X is unaffected but a hardware erratum gets in the
      way. The kernel now starts with the page tables mapped as global
      and switches to non-global if kpti needs to be enabled.

  Other:

   - Theoretical trylock bug fixed"

We're about to need kvm_psci_version in HYP too. So let's turn it
into a static inline, and pass the kvm structure as a second
parameter (so that HYP can do a kern_hyp_va on it).

PSCI 1.0 can be trivially implemented by providing the FEATURES
call on top of PSCI 0.2 and returning 1.0 as the PSCI version.

We happily ignore everything else, as they are either optional or
are clarifications that do not require any additional change.

PSCI 1.0 is now the default until we decide to add a userspace
selection API.

let's move the PSCI include file to include/kvm so that both
ARM architectures can find it.

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.
