When the VCPU is blocked (for example from WFI) we don't inject the
physical timer interrupt if it should fire while the CPU is blocked, but
instead we just wake up the VCPU and expect kvm_timer_vcpu_load to take
care of injecting the interrupt.

Unfortunately, kvm_timer_vcpu_load() doesn't actually do that, it only
has support to schedule a soft timer if the emulated phys timer is
expected to fire in the future.

Follow the same pattern as kvm_timer_update_state() and update the irq
state after potentially scheduling a soft timer.

<content type='text'>
kvm_timer_update_state() is called when changing the phys timer
configuration registers, either via vcpu reset, as a result of a trap
from the guest, or when userspace programs the registers.

phys_timer_emulate() is in turn called by kvm_timer_update_state() to
either cancel an existing software timer, or program a new software
timer, to emulate the behavior of a real phys timer, based on the change
in configuration registers.

Unfortunately, the interaction between these two functions left a small
race; if the conceptual emulated phys timer should actually fire, but
the soft timer hasn't executed its callback yet, we cancel the timer in
phys_timer_emulate without injecting an irq.  This only happens if the
check in kvm_timer_update_state is called before the timer should fire,
which is relatively unlikely, but possible.

The solution is to update the state of the phys timer after calling
phys_timer_emulate, which will pick up the pending timer state and
update the interrupt value.

Note that this leaves the opportunity of raising the interrupt twice,
once in the just-programmed soft timer, and once in
kvm_timer_update_state.  Since this always happens synchronously with
the VCPU execution, there is no harm in this, and the guest ever only
sees a single timer interrupt.

Moving the call to vcpu_load() in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() to after
we've called kvm_vcpu_first_run_init() simplifies some of the vgic and
there is also no need to do vcpu_load() for things such as handling the
immediate_exit flag.

On my GICv3 system, the following is printed to the kernel log at boot:

   kvm [1]: 8-bit VMID
   kvm [1]: IDMAP page: d20e35000
   kvm [1]: HYP VA range: 800000000000:ffffffffffff
   kvm [1]: vgic-v2@2c020000
   kvm [1]: GIC system register CPU interface enabled
   kvm [1]: vgic interrupt IRQ1
   kvm [1]: virtual timer IRQ4
   kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully

The KVM IDMAP is a mapping of a statically allocated kernel structure,
and so printing its physical address leaks the physical placement of
the kernel when physical KASLR in effect. So change the kvm_info() to
kvm_debug() to remove it from the log output.

While at it, trim the output a bit more: IRQ numbers can be found in
/proc/interrupts, and the HYP VA and vgic-v2 lines are not highly
informational either.

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.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: No need to zero CNTVOFF in kvm_timer_vcpu_put() for VHE</title>

In AArch64/AArch32, the virtual counter uses a fixed virtual offset
of zero in the following situations as per ARMv8 specifications:

1) HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, and CNTVCT_EL0/CNTVCT are read from EL2.
2) HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}, and either:
   — CNTVCT_EL0 is read from Non-secure EL0 or EL2.
   — CNTVCT is read from Non-secure EL0.

So, no need to zero CNTVOFF_EL2/CNTVOFF for VHE case.

<content type='text'>
When introducing support for irqchip in userspace we needed a way to
mask the timer signal to prevent the guest continuously exiting due to a
screaming timer.

We did this by disabling the corresponding percpu interrupt on the
host interrupt controller, because we cannot rely on the host system
having a GIC, and therefore cannot make any assumptions about having an
active state to hide the timer signal.

Unfortunately, when introducing this feature, it became entirely
possible that a VCPU which belongs to a VM that has a userspace irqchip
can disable the vtimer irq on the host on some physical CPU, and then go
away without ever enabling the vtimer irq on that physical CPU again.

This means that using irqchips in userspace on a system that also
supports running VMs with an in-kernel GIC can prevent forward progress
from in-kernel GIC VMs.

Later on, when we started taking virtual timer interrupts in the arch
timer code, we would also leave this timer state active for userspace
irqchip VMs, because we leave it up to a VGIC-enabled guest to
deactivate the hardware IRQ using the HW bit in the LR.

Both issues are solved by only using the enable/disable trick on systems
that do not have a host GIC which supports the active state, because all
VMs on such systems must use irqchips in userspace.  Systems that have a
working GIC with support for an active state use the active state to
mask the timer signal for both userspace and in-kernel irqchips.

When I introduced a static key to avoid work in the critical path for
userspace irqchips which is very rarely used, I accidentally messed up
my logic and used &amp;&amp; where I should have used ||, because the point was
to short-circuit the evaluation in case userspace irqchips weren't even
in use.

This fixes an issue when running in-kernel irqchip VMs alongside
