The shadow gmap tracks memory of nested guests (guest-3). In certain
scenarios, the shadow gmap needs to be rebuilt, which is a costly operation
since it involves a SIE exit into guest-1 for every entry in the respective
shadow level.
Add kvm stat counters when new shadow structures are created at various
levels. Also add a counter gmap_shadow_create when a completely fresh
shadow gmap is created as well as a counter gmap_shadow_reuse when an
existing gmap is being reused.
Note that when several levels are shadowed at once, counters on all
affected levels will be increased.
Also note that not all page table levels need to be present and a ASCE
can directly point to e.g. a segment table. In this case, a new segment
table will always be equivalent to a new shadow gmap and hence will be
counted as gmap_shadow_create and not as gmap_shadow_segment.

Allow architectures to opt out of the generic hardware enabling logic,
and opt out on both s390 and PPC, which don't need to manually enable
virtualization as it's always on (when available).
In addition to letting s390 and PPC drop a bit of dead code, this will
hopefully also allow ARM to clean up its related code, e.g. ARM has its
own per-CPU flag to track which CPUs have enable hardware due to the
need to keep hardware enabled indefinitely when pKVM is enabled.

Until now, destroying a protected guest was an entirely synchronous
operation that could potentially take a very long time, depending on
the size of the guest, due to the time needed to clean up the address
space from protected pages.
This patch implements an asynchronous destroy mechanism, that allows a
protected guest to reboot significantly faster than previously.
This is achieved by clearing the pages of the old guest in background.
In case of reboot, the new guest will be able to run in the same
address space almost immediately.
The old protected guest is then only destroyed when all of its memory
has been destroyed or otherwise made non protected.
Two new PV commands are added for the KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND ioctl:
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE: set aside the current protected VM for
later asynchronous teardown. The current KVM VM will then continue
immediately as non-protected. If a protected VM had already been
set aside for asynchronous teardown, but without starting the teardown
process, this call will fail. There can be at most one VM set aside at
any time. Once it is set aside, the protected VM only exists in the
context of the Ultravisor, it is not associated with the KVM VM
anymore. Its protected CPUs have already been destroyed, but not its
memory. This command can be issued again immediately after starting
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM, without having to wait for completion.
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM: tears down the protected VM previously
set aside using KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE. Ideally the
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM PV command should be issued by userspace
from a separate thread. If a fatal signal is received (or if the
process terminates naturally), the command will terminate immediately
without completing. All protected VMs whose teardown was interrupted
will be put in the need_cleanup list. The rest of the normal KVM
teardown process will take care of properly cleaning up all remaining
protected VMs, including the ones on the need_cleanup list.

We report a topology change to the guest for any CPU hotplug.
The reporting to the guest is done using the Multiprocessor
Topology-Change-Report (MTCR) bit of the utility entry in the guest's
SCA which will be cleared during the interpretation of PTF.
On every vCPU creation we set the MCTR bit to let the guest know the
next time it uses the PTF with command 2 instruction that the
topology changed and that it should use the STSI(15.1.x) instruction
to get the topology details.
STSI(15.1.x) gives information on the CPU configuration topology.
Let's accept the interception of STSI with the function code 15 and

notifications. However, there are some cases where a guest might
disable interpretation -- provide a mechanism via which we can defer
enabling the associated zPCI interpretation facilities until the guest
indicates it wishes to use them.

Sometimes dumping inside of a VM fails, is unavailable or doesn't
yield the required data. For these occasions we dump the VM from the
outside, writing memory and cpu data to a file.
Up to now PV guests only supported dumping from the inside of the
guest through dumpers like KDUMP. A PV guest can be dumped from the
hypervisor but the data will be stale and / or encrypted.
To get the actual state of the PV VM we need the help of the
Ultravisor who safeguards the VM state. New UV calls have been added
to initialize the dump, dump storage state data, dump cpu data and
complete the dump process. We expose these calls in this patch via a
new UV ioctl command.
The sensitive parts of the dump data are encrypted, the dump key is
derived from the Customer Communication Key (CCK). This ensures that
only the owner of the VM who has the CCK can decrypt the dump data.
The memory is dumped / read via a normal export call and a re-import
after the dump initialization is not needed (no re-encryption with a
dump key).

While in practice vcpu->vcpu_idx == vcpu->vcp_id is often true, it may
not always be, and we must not rely on this. Reason is that KVM decides
the vcpu_idx, userspace decides the vcpu_id, thus the two might not
match.
Currently kvm->arch.idle_mask is indexed by vcpu_id, which implies
that code like
for_each_set_bit(vcpu_id, kvm->arch.idle_mask, online_vcpus) {
vcpu = kvm_get_vcpu(kvm, vcpu_id);
do_stuff(vcpu);
}
is not legit. Reason is that kvm_get_vcpu expects an vcpu_idx, not an
vcpu_id. The trouble is, we do actually use kvm->arch.idle_mask like
this. To fix this problem we have two options. Either use
kvm_get_vcpu_by_id(vcpu_id), which would loop to find the right vcpu_id,
or switch to indexing via vcpu_idx. The latter is preferable for obvious
reasons.
Let us make switch from indexing kvm->arch.idle_mask by vcpu_id to
indexing it by vcpu_idx. To keep gisa_int.kicked_mask indexed by the
same index as idle_mask lets make the same change for it as well.

When this feature is enabled the hardware is free to interpret
specification exceptions generated by the guest, instead of causing
program interruption interceptions.
This benefits (test) programs that generate a lot of specification
exceptions (roughly 4x increase in exceptions/sec).
Interceptions will occur as before if ICTL_PINT is set,
i.e. if guest debug is enabled.
There is no indication if this feature is available or not and the
hardware is free to interpret or not. So we can simply set this bit and
if the hardware ignores it we fall back to intercept 8 handling.

a separate structure. This ensures that they are defined the same way
in the statistics API which is being added, removing duplication among
different architectures in the declaration of the descriptors.
No functional change intended.

When we intercept a DIAG_9C from the guest we verify that the
target real CPU associated with the virtual CPU designated by
the guest is running and if not we forward the DIAG_9C to the
target real CPU.
To avoid a diag9c storm we allow a maximal rate of diag9c forwarding.
The rate is calculated as a count per second defined as a new
parameter of the s390 kvm module: diag9c_forwarding_hz .
The default value of 0 is to not forward diag9c.

Current KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS limits are arch specific (512 on Power, 509 on x86,
32 on s390, 16 on MIPS) but they don't really need to be. Memory slots are
allocated dynamically in KVM when added so the only real limitation is
'id_to_index' array which is 'short'. We don't have any other
KVM_MEM_SLOTS_NUM/KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS-sized statically defined structures.
Low KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS can be a limiting factor for some configurations.
In particular, when QEMU tries to start a Windows guest with Hyper-V SynIC
enabled and e.g. 256 vCPUs the limit is hit as SynIC requires two pages per
vCPU and the guest is free to pick any GFN for each of them, this fragments
memslots as QEMU wants to have a separate memslot for each of these pages
(which are supposed to act as 'overlay' pages).

'Page not present' event may or may not get injected depending on
guest's state. If the event wasn't injected, there is no need to
inject the corresponding 'page ready' event as the guest may get
confused. E.g. Linux thinks that the corresponding 'page not present'
event wasn't delivered *yet* and allocates a 'dummy entry' for it.
This entry is never freed.
Note, 'wakeup all' events have no corresponding 'page not present'
event and always get injected.
s390 seems to always be able to inject 'page not present', the
change is effectively a nop.

If two page ready notifications happen back to back the second one is not
delivered and the only mechanism we currently have is
kvm_check_async_pf_completion() check in vcpu_run() loop. The check will
only be performed with the next vmexit when it happens and in some cases
it may take a while. With interrupt based page ready notification delivery
the situation is even worse: unlike exceptions, interrupts are not handled
immediately so we must check if the slot is empty. This is slow and
unnecessary. Introduce dedicated MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK MSR to communicate
the fact that the slot is free and host should check its notification
queue. Mandate using it for interrupt based 'page ready' APF event
delivery.
As kvm_check_async_pf_completion() is going away from vcpu_run() we need
a way to communicate the fact that vcpu->async_pf.done queue has
transitioned from empty to non-empty state. Introduce
kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() and KVM_REQ_APF_READY to do the job.

An innocent reader of the following x86 KVM code:
bool kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
if (!(vcpu->arch.apf.msr_val & KVM_ASYNC_PF_ENABLED))
return true;
...
may get very confused: if APF mechanism is not enabled, why do we report
that we 'can inject async page present'? In reality, upon injection
kvm_arch_async_page_present() will check the same condition again and,
in case APF is disabled, will just drop the item. This is fine as the
guest which deliberately disabled APF doesn't expect to get any APF
notifications.
Rename kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present() to
kvm_arch_can_dequeue_async_page_present() to make it clear what we are
checking: if the item can be dequeued (meaning either injected or just
dropped).
On s390 kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present() always returns 'true' so
the rename doesn't matter much.

Two new stats for exposing halt-polling cpu usage:
halt_poll_success_ns
halt_poll_fail_ns
Thus sum of these 2 stats is the total cpu time spent polling. "success"
means the VCPU polled until a virtual interrupt was delivered. "fail"
means the VCPU had to schedule out (either because the maximum poll time
was reached or it needed to yield the CPU).
To avoid touching every arch's kvm_vcpu_stat struct, only update and
export halt-polling cpu usage stats if we're on x86.
Exporting cpu usage as a u64 and in nanoseconds means we will overflow at
~500 years, which seems reasonably large.

The adapter interrupt page containing the indicator bits is currently
pinned. That means that a guest with many devices can pin a lot of
memory pages in the host. This also complicates the reference tracking
which is needed for memory management handling of protected virtual
machines. It might also have some strange side effects for madvise
MADV_DONTNEED and other things.
We can simply try to get the userspace page set the bits and free the
page. By storing the userspace address in the irq routing entry instead
of the guest address we can actually avoid many lookups and list walks
so that this variant is very likely not slower.
If userspace messes around with the memory slots the worst thing that
can happen is that we write to some other memory within that process.
As we get the the page with FOLL_WRITE this can also not be used to
write to shared read-only pages.
