This adds the API for userspace to instantiate an XICS device in a VM
and connect VCPUs to it. The API consists of a new device type for
the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, a new capability KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS, which
functions similarly to KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPIC, and the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl,
which is used to assert and deassert interrupt inputs of the XICS.
The XICS device has one attribute group, KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES.
Each attribute within this group corresponds to the state of one
interrupt source. The attribute number is the same as the interrupt
source number.
This does not support irq routing or irqfd yet.

[agraf: add stub function for kvmppc_mpic_set_epr, non-booke, 64bit]
Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
Currently, devices that are emulated inside KVM are configured in a
hardcoded manner based on an assumption that any given architecture
only has one way to do it. If there's any need to access device state,
it is done through inflexible one-purpose-only IOCTLs (e.g.
KVM_GET/SET_LAPIC). Defining new IOCTLs for every little thing is
cumbersome and depletes a limited numberspace.
This API provides a mechanism to instantiate a device of a certain
type, returning an ID that can be used to set/get attributes of the
device. Attributes may include configuration parameters (e.g.
register base address), device state, operational commands, etc. It
is similar to the ONE_REG API, except that it acts on devices rather
than vcpus.
Both device types and individual attributes can be tested without having
to create the device or get/set the attribute, without the need for
separately managing enumerated capabilities.

If the guest specifies a IOAPIC_REG_SELECT with an invalid value and follows
that with a read of the IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW KVM does not properly validate
that request. ioapic_read_indirect contains an
ASSERT(redir_index < IOAPIC_NUM_PINS), but the ASSERT has no effect in
non-debug builds. In recent kernels this allows a guest to cause a kernel
oops by reading invalid memory. In older kernels (pre-3.3) this allows a
guest to read from large ranges of host memory.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

As Xiao pointed out, there are a few problems with it:
- kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() write protects the memory slot only
for GET_DIRTY_LOG when modifying the flags.
- FNAME(sync_page) uses the old spte value to set a new one without
checking KVM_MEM_READONLY flag.
Since we flush all shadow pages when creating a new slot, the simplest
fix is to disallow such problematic flag changes: this is safe because
no one is doing such things.

KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION forces __kvm_set_memory_region() to identify
what kind of change is being requested by checking the arguments. The
current code does this checking at various points in code and each
condition being used there is not easy to understand at first glance.
This patch consolidates these checks and introduces an enum to name the
possible changes to clean up the code.
Although this does not introduce any functional changes, there is one
change which optimizes the code a bit: if we have nothing to change, the
new code returns 0 immediately.
Note that the return value for this case cannot be changed since QEMU
relies on it: we noticed this when we changed it to -EINVAL and got a
section mismatch error at the final stage of live migration.

yield_to returns -ESRCH, When source and target of yield_to
run queue length is one. When we see three successive failures of
yield_to we assume we are in potential undercommit case and abort
from PLE handler.
The assumption is backed by low probability of wrong decision
for even worst case scenarios such as average runqueue length
between 1 and 2.
More detail on rationale behind using three tries:
if p is the probability of finding rq length one on a particular cpu,
and if we do n tries, then probability of exiting ple handler is:
p^(n+1) [ because we would have come across one source with rq length
1 and n target cpu rqs with length 1 ]
so
num tries: probability of aborting ple handler (1.5x overcommit)
1 1/4
2 1/8
3 1/16
We can increase this probability with more tries, but the problem is
the overhead.
Also, If we have tried three times that means we would have iterated
over 3 good eligible vcpus along with many non-eligible candidates. In
worst case if we iterate all the vcpus, we reduce 1x performance and
overcommit performance get hit.
note that we do not update last boosted vcpu in failure cases.
Thank Avi for raising question on aborting after first fail from yield_to.

Virtual interrupt delivery avoids KVM to inject vAPIC interrupts
manually, which is fully taken care of by the hardware. This needs
some special awareness into existing interrupr injection path:
- for pending interrupt, instead of direct injection, we may need
update architecture specific indicators before resuming to guest.
- A pending interrupt, which is masked by ISR, should be also
considered in above update action, since hardware will decide
when to inject it at right time. Current has_interrupt and
get_interrupt only returns a valid vector from injection p.o.v.

into the iommu as read-write. Fix this to only include the write
access flag when read-only is not set.

Memory slot flags can be altered without changing other parameters of
the slot. The read-only attribute is the only one the IOMMU cares
about, so generate an un-map, re-map when this occurs. This also
avoid unnecessarily re-mapping the slot when no IOMMU visible changes
are made.

One such variable, slot, is enough for holding a pointer temporarily.
We also remove another local variable named slot, which is limited in
a block, since it is confusing to have the same name in this function.

Don't need the check for deleting an existing slot or just modifiying
the flags.

This makes the separation between the sanity checks and the rest of the
code a bit clearer.

Calling kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() for a deleted slot does
nothing but search for non-existent mmu pages which have mappings to
that deleted memory; this is safe but a waste of time.
Since we want to make the function rmap based in a later patch, in a
manner which makes it unsafe to be called for a deleted slot, we makes
the caller see if the slot is non-zero and being dirty logged.
