Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "3.19 changes for KVM:

   - spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-
     assisted virtualization on the PPC970

   - ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes

  For x86:
   - small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
   - usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
   - APICv fixes
   - XSAVES support for hosts and guests.  XSAVES hosts were broken
     because the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM
     userspace ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is
     going to stable.  Guest support is just a matter of exposing the
     feature and CPUID leaves support"

It is curently possible to run a VM with architected timers support
without creating an in-kernel VGIC, which will result in interrupts from
the virtual timer going nowhere.

To address this issue, move the architected timers initialization to the
time when we run a VCPU for the first time, and then only initialize
(and enable) the architected timers if we have a properly created and
initialized in-kernel VGIC.

When injecting interrupts from the virtual timer to the vgic, the
current setup should ensure that this never calls an on-demand init of
the VGIC, which is the only call path that could return an error from
kvm_vgic_inject_irq(), so capture the return value and raise a warning
if there's an error there.

We also change the kvm_timer_init() function from returning an int to be
a void function, since the function always succeeds.

Userspace assumes that it can wire up IRQ injections after having
created all VCPUs and after having created the VGIC, but potentially
before starting the first VCPU.  This can currently lead to lost IRQs
because the state of that IRQ injection is not stored anywhere and we
don't return an error to userspace.

We haven't seen this problem manifest itself yet, presumably because
guests reset the devices on boot, but this could cause issues with
migration and other non-standard startup configurations.

Some code paths will need to check to see if the internal state of the
vgic has been initialized (such as when creating new VCPUs), so
introduce such a macro that checks the nr_cpus field which is set when
the vgic has been initialized.

Also set nr_cpus = 0 in kvm_vgic_destroy, because the error path in
vgic_init() will call this function, and code should never errornously
assume the vgic to be properly initialized after an error.

The vgic_initialized() macro currently returns the state of the
vgic-&gt;ready flag, which indicates if the vgic is ready to be used when
running a VM, not specifically if its internal state has been
initialized.

Rename the macro accordingly in preparation for a more nuanced
initialization flow.

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: move reset initialization into vgic_init_maps()</title>

<id>6d3cfbe21bef5b66530b50ad16c88fdc71a04c35</id>
<content type='text'>
VGIC initialization currently happens in three phases:
 (1) kvm_vgic_create() (triggered by userspace GIC creation)
 (2) vgic_init_maps() (triggered by userspace GIC register read/write
     requests, or from kvm_vgic_init() if not already run)
 (3) kvm_vgic_init() (triggered by first VM run)

We were doing initialization of some state to correspond with the
state of a freshly-reset GIC in kvm_vgic_init(); this is too late,
since it will overwrite changes made by userspace using the
register access APIs before the VM is run. Move this initialization
earlier, into the vgic_init_maps() phase.

This fixes a bug where QEMU could successfully restore a saved
VM state snapshot into a VM that had already been run, but could
not restore it "from cold" using the -loadvm command line option
(the symptoms being that the restored VM would run but interrupts
were ignored).

Finally rename vgic_init_maps to vgic_init and renamed kvm_vgic_init to
kvm_vgic_map_resources.

  [ This patch is originally written by Peter Maydell, but I have
    modified it somewhat heavily, renaming various bits and moving code
    around.  If something is broken, I am to be blamed. - Christoffer ]

If we detect another vCPU is running we just exit and return 0 as if we
succesfully created the VGIC, but the VGIC wouldn't actual be created.

This shouldn't break in-kernel behavior because the kernel will not
observe the failed the attempt to create the VGIC, but userspace could
be rightfully confused.

shouldn't clear the pending state on the distributor.  In fact, we
don't, because the check in vgic_validate_injection would prevent us
from ever reaching this bit of code.
