Resolve conflicts with current mainline

We can finally get completely rid of any calls to the VGICv3
save/restore functions when the AP lists are empty on VHE systems. This
requires carefully factoring out trap configuration from saving and
restoring state, and carefully choosing what to do on the VHE and
non-VHE path.
One of the challenges is that we cannot save/restore the VMCR lazily
because we can only write the VMCR when ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE is cleared when
emulating a GICv2-on-GICv3, since otherwise all Group-0 interrupts end
up being delivered as FIQ.
To solve this problem, and still provide fast performance in the fast
path of exiting a VM when no interrupts are pending (which also
optimized the latency for actually delivering virtual interrupts coming
from physical interrupts), we orchestrate a dance of only doing the
activate/deactivate traps in vgic load/put for VHE systems (which can
have ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE cleared when running in the host), and doing the
configuration on every round-trip on non-VHE systems.

The APRs can only have bits set when the guest acknowledges an interrupt
in the LR and can only have a bit cleared when the guest EOIs an
interrupt in the LR. Therefore, if we have no LRs with any
pending/active interrupts, the APR cannot change value and there is no
need to clear it on every exit from the VM (hint: it will have already
been cleared when we exited the guest the last time with the LRs all
EOIed).
The only case we need to take care of is when we migrate the VCPU away
from a CPU or migrate a new VCPU onto a CPU, or when we return to
userspace to capture the state of the VCPU for migration. To make sure
this works, factor out the APR save/restore functionality into separate
functions called from the VCPU (and by extension VGIC) put/load hooks.

The vgic-v2-sr.c file now only contains the logic to replay unaligned
accesses to the virtual CPU interface on 16K and 64K page systems, which
is only relevant on 64-bit platforms. Therefore move this file to the
arm64 KVM tree, remove the compile directive from the 32-bit side
makefile, and remove the ifdef in the C file.
Since this file also no longer saves/restores anything, rename the file
to vgic-v2-cpuif-proxy.c to more accurately describe the logic in this
file.

There is really no need to store the vgic_elrsr on the VGIC data
structures as the only need we have for the elrsr is to figure out if an
LR is inactive when we save the VGIC state upon returning from the
guest. We can might as well store this in a temporary local variable.

The VHE switch function calls __timer_enable_traps and
__timer_disable_traps which don't do anything on VHE systems.
Therefore, simply remove these calls from the VHE switch function and
make the functions non-conditional as they are now only called from the
non-VHE switch path.

On guest exit, and when using GICv2 on GICv3, we use a dsb(st) to
force synchronization between the memory-mapped guest view and
the system-register view that the hypervisor uses.
This is incorrect, as the spec calls out the need for "a DSB whose
required access type is both loads and stores with any Shareability
attribute", while we're only synchronizing stores.
We also lack an isb after the dsb to ensure that the latter has
actually been executed before we start reading stuff from the sysregs.
The fix is pretty easy: turn dsb(st) into dsb(sy), and slap an isb()
just after.

We are incorrectly rearranging 32-bit words inside a 64-bit typed value
for big endian systems, which would result in never marking a virtual
interrupt as inactive on big endian systems (assuming 32 or fewer LRs on

After the timer optimization rework we accidentally end up calling
physical timer enable/disable functions on VHE systems, which is neither
needed nor correct, since the CNTHCTL_EL2 register format is
different when HCR_EL2.E2H is set.
The CNTHCTL_EL2 is initialized when CPUs become online in
kvm_timer_init_vhe() and we don't have to call these functions on VHE
systems, which also allows us to inline the non-VHE functionality.

As we are about to be lazy with saving and restoring the timer
registers, we prepare by moving all possible timer configuration logic
out of the hyp code. All virtual timer registers can be programmed from
EL1 and since the arch timer is always a level triggered interrupt we
can safely do this with interrupts disabled in the host kernel on the
way to the guest without taking vtimer interrupts in the host kernel
(yet).
The downside is that the cntvoff register can only be programmed from
hyp mode, so we jump into hyp mode and back to program it. This is also
safe, because the host kernel doesn't use the virtual timer in the KVM
code. It may add a little performance performance penalty, but only
until following commits where we move this operation to vcpu load/put.

registers
The GICv3 documentation is extremely confusing, as it talks about
the number of priorities represented by the ICH_APxRn_EL2 registers,
while it should really talk about the number of preemption levels.
This leads to a bug where we may access undefined ICH_APxRn_EL2
registers, since PREbits is allowed to be smaller than PRIbits.
Thankfully, nobody seem to have taken this path so far...
The fix is to use ICH_VTR_EL2.PREbits instead.

When emulating a GICv2-on-GICv3, special care must be taken to only
save/restore VMCR_EL2 when ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE is cleared. Otherwise,
all Group-0 interrupts end-up being delivered as FIQ, which is
probably not what the guest expects, as demonstrated here with
an unhappy EFI:
FIQ Exception at 0x000000013BD21CC4
This means that we cannot perform the load/put trick when dealing
with VMCR_EL2 (because the host has SRE set), and we have to deal
with it in the world-switch.
Fortunately, this is not the most common case (modern guests should
be able to deal with GICv3 directly), and the performance is not worse
than what it was before the VMCR optimization.

We don't have to save/restore the VMCR on every entry to/from the guest,
since on GICv2 we can access the control interface from EL1 and on VHE
systems with GICv3 we can access the control interface from KVM running
in EL2.
GICv3 systems without VHE becomes the rare case, which has to
save/restore the register on each round trip.
Note that userspace accesses may see out-of-date values if the VCPU is
running while accessing the VGIC state via the KVM device API, but this
is already the case and it is up to userspace to quiesce the CPUs before
reading the CPU registers from the GIC for an up-to-date view.

Current KVM world switch code is unintentionally setting wrong bits to
CNTHCTL_EL2 when E2H == 1, which may allow guest OS to access physical
timer. Bit positions of CNTHCTL_EL2 are changing depending on
HCR_EL2.E2H bit. EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN are 1st and 0th bits when E2H is
not set, but they are 11th and 10th bits respectively when E2H is set.
In fact, on VHE we only need to set those bits once, not for every world
switch. This is because the host kernel runs in EL2 with HCR_EL2.TGE ==
1, which makes those bits have no effect for the host kernel execution.
So we just set those bits once for guests, and that's it.

In order to efficiently perform the GICV access on behalf of the
guest, we need to be able to avoid going back all the way to
the host kernel.
For this, we introduce a new hook in the world switch code,
conveniently placed just after populating the fault info.
At that point, we only have saved/restored the GP registers,
and we can quickly perform all the required checks (data abort,
translation fault, valid faulting syndrome, not an external
abort, not a PTW).
Coming back from the emulation code, we need to skip the emulated
instruction. This involves an additional bit of save/restore in
order to be able to access the guest's PC (and possibly CPSR if
this is a 32bit guest).
At this stage, no emulation code is provided.

I don't think any single piece of the KVM/ARM code ever generated
as much hatred as the GIC emulation.
It was written by someone who had zero experience in modeling
hardware (me), was riddled with design flaws, should have been
scrapped and rewritten from scratch long before having a remote
chance of reaching mainline, and yet we supported it for a good
three years. No need to mention the names of those who suffered,
the git log is singing their praises.
Thankfully, we now have a much more maintainable implementation,
