When injecting an IRQ to the VGIC, you now have to present an owner
token for that IRQ line to show that you are the owner of that line.
IRQ lines driven from userspace or via an irqfd do not have an owner and
will simply pass a NULL pointer.
Also get rid of the unused kvm_vgic_inject_mapped_irq prototype.

We check if other in-kernel devices have already been connected to the
GIC for a particular interrupt line when possible.
For the PMU, we can do this whenever setting the PMU interrupt number
from userspace.
For the timers, we have to wait until we try to enable the timer,
because we have a concept of default IRQ numbers that userspace
shouldn't have to work around in the initialization phase.

First we define an ABI using the vcpu devices that lets userspace set
the interrupt numbers for the various timers on both the 32-bit and
64-bit KVM/ARM implementations.
Second, we add the definitions for the groups and attributes introduced
by the above ABI. (We add the PMU define on the 32-bit side as well for
symmetry and it may get used some day.)
Third, we set up the arch-specific vcpu device operation handlers to
call into the timer code for anything related to the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_TIMER_CTRL group.
Fourth, we implement support for getting and setting the timer interrupt
numbers using the above defined ABI in the arch timer code.
Fifth, we introduce error checking upon enabling the arch timer (which
is called when first running a VCPU) to check that all VCPUs are
configured to use the same PPI for the timer (as mandated by the
architecture) and that the virtual and physical timers are not
configured to use the same IRQ number.

We currently initialize the arch timer IRQ numbers from the reset code,
presumably because we once intended to model multiple CPU or SoC types
from within the kernel and have hard-coded reset values in the reset
code.
As we are moving towards userspace being in charge of more fine-grained
CPU emulation and stitching together the pieces needed to emulate a
particular type of CPU, we should no longer have a tight coupling
between resetting a VCPU and setting IRQ numbers.
Therefore, move the logic to define and use the default IRQ numbers to
the timer code and set the IRQ number immediately when creating the
VCPU.

If you're running with a userspace gic or other interrupt controller
(that is no vgic in the kernel), then you have so far not been able to
use the architected timers, because the output of the architected
timers, which are driven inside the kernel, was a kernel-only construct
between the arch timer code and the vgic.
This patch implements the new KVM_CAP_ARM_USER_IRQ feature, where we use a
side channel on the kvm_run structure, run->s.regs.device_irq_level, to
always notify userspace of the timer output levels when using a userspace
irqchip.
This works by ensuring that before we enter the guest, if the timer
output level has changed compared to what we last told userspace, we
don't enter the guest, but instead return to userspace to notify it of
the new level. If we are exiting, because of an MMIO for example, and
the level changed at the same time, the value is also updated and
userspace can sample the line as it needs. This is nicely achieved
simply always updating the timer_irq_level field after the main run
loop.
Note that the kvm_timer_update_irq trace event is changed to show the
host IRQ number for the timer instead of the guest IRQ number, because
the kernel no longer know which IRQ userspace wires up the timer signal
to.
Also note that this patch implements all required functionality but does
not yet advertise the capability.

When a VCPU blocks (WFI) and has programmed the vtimer, we program a
soft timer to expire in the future to wake up the vcpu thread when
appropriate. Because such as wake up involves a vcpu kick, and the
timer expire function can get called from interrupt context, and the
kick may sleep, we have to schedule the kick in the work function.
The work function currently has a warning that gets raised if it turns
out that the timer shouldn't fire when it's run, which was added because
the idea was that in that case the work should never have been cancelled.
However, it turns out that this whole thing is racy and we can get
spurious warnings. The problem is that we clear the armed flag in the
work function, which may run in parallel with the
kvm_timer_unschedule->timer_disarm() call. This results in a possible
situation where the timer_disarm() call does not call
cancel_work_sync(), which effectively synchronizes the completion of the
work function with running the VCPU. As a result, the VCPU thread
proceeds before the work function completees, causing changes to the
timer state such that kvm_timer_should_fire(vcpu) returns false in the
work function.
All we do in the work function is to kick the VCPU, and an occasional
rare extra kick never harmed anyone. Since the race above is extremely
rare, we don't bother checking if the race happens but simply remove the
check and the clearing of the armed flag from the work function.

On a host that runs NTP, corrections can have a direct impact on
the background timer that we program on the behalf of a vcpu.
In particular, NTP performing a forward correction will result in
a timer expiring sooner than expected from a guest point of view.
Not a big deal, we kick the vcpu anyway.
But on wake-up, the vcpu thread is going to perform a check to
find out whether or not it should block. And at that point, the
timer check is going to say "timer has not expired yet, go back
to sleep". This results in the timer event being lost forever.
There are multiple ways to handle this. One would be record that
the timer has expired and let kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer return
true in that case, but that would be fairly invasive. Another is
to check for the "short sleep" condition in the hrtimer callback,
and restart the timer for the remaining time when the condition
is detected.
This patch implements the latter, with a bit of refactoring in

Programming the active state in the (re)distributor can be an

the number of accesses as much as possible. So far, we
program the active state on each VM entry, but there is some
opportunity to do less.
An obvious solution is to cache the active state in memory,
and only program it in the HW when conditions change. But
because the HW can also change things under our feet (the active
state can transition from 1 to 0 when the guest does an EOI),
some precautions have to be taken, which amount to only caching
an "inactive" state, and always programing it otherwise.

We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical
distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was
deasserted. We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual
interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an
LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the
physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set.
This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency
between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR
state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which

The arch timer currently uses edge-triggered semantics in the sense that
the line is never sampled by the vgic and lowering the line from the
timer to the vgic doesn't have any effect on the pending state of
virtual interrupts in the vgic. This means that we do not support a
guest with the otherwise valid behavior of (1) disable interrupts (2)
enable the timer (3) disable the timer (4) enable interrupts. Such a
guest would validly not expect to see any interrupts on real hardware,
but will see interrupts on KVM.
This patch fixes this shortcoming through the following series of
changes.
First, we change the flow of the timer/vgic sync/flush operations. Now
the timer is always flushed/synced before the vgic, because the vgic
samples the state of the timer output. This has the implication that we
move the timer operations in to non-preempible sections, but that is
fine after the previous commit getting rid of hrtimer schedules on every
entry/exit.
Second, we change the internal behavior of the timer, letting the timer
keep track of its previous output state, and only lower/raise the line
to the vgic when the state changes. Note that in theory this could have
been accomplished more simply by signalling the vgic every time the
state *potentially* changed, but we don't want to be hitting the vgic
more often than necessary.
Third, we get rid of the use of the map->active field in the vgic and
instead simply set the interrupt as active on the physical distributor
whenever the input to the GIC is asserted and conversely clear the
physical active state when the input to the GIC is deasserted.
Fourth, and finally, we now initialize the timer PPIs (and all the other
unused PPIs for now), to be level-triggered, and modify the sync code to
sample the line state on HW sync and re-inject a new interrupt if it is
still pending at that time.

We currently schedule a soft timer every time we exit the guest if the
timer did not expire while running the guest. This is really not
necessary, because the only work we do in the timer work function is to
kick the vcpu.
Kicking the vcpu does two things:
(1) If the vpcu thread is on a waitqueue, make it runnable and remove it
from the waitqueue.
(2) If the vcpu is running on a different physical CPU from the one
doing the kick, it sends a reschedule IPI.
The second case cannot happen, because the soft timer is only ever
scheduled when the vcpu is not running. The first case is only relevant
when the vcpu thread is on a waitqueue, which is only the case when the
vcpu thread has called kvm_vcpu_block().
Therefore, we only need to make sure a timer is scheduled for
kvm_vcpu_block(), which we do by encapsulating all calls to
kvm_vcpu_block() with kvm_timer_{un}schedule calls.
Additionally, we only schedule a soft timer if the timer is enabled and
unmasked, since it is useless otherwise.
Note that theoretically userspace can use the SET_ONE_REG interface to
change registers that should cause the timer to fire, even if the vcpu
is blocked without a scheduled timer, but this case was not supported
before this patch and we leave it for future work for now.

We have an interesting issue when the guest disables the timer interrupt
on the VGIC, which happens when turning VCPUs off using PSCI, for
example.
The problem is that because the guest disables the virtual interrupt at
the VGIC level, we never inject interrupts to the guest and therefore
never mark the interrupt as active on the physical distributor. The
host also never takes the timer interrupt (we only use the timer device
to trigger a guest exit and everything else is done in software), so the
interrupt does not become active through normal means.
The result is that we keep entering the guest with a programmed timer
that will always fire as soon as we context switch the hardware timer
state and run the guest, preventing forward progress for the VCPU.
Since the active state on the physical distributor is really part of the
timer logic, it is the job of our virtual arch timer driver to manage
this state.
The timer->map->active boolean field indicates whether we have signalled
this interrupt to the vgic and if that interrupt is still pending or
active. As long as that is the case, the hardware doesn't have to
generate physical interrupts and therefore we mark the interrupt as
active on the physical distributor.
We also have to restore the pending state of an interrupt that was
queued to an LR but was retired from the LR for some reason, while
remaining pending in the LR.

Provide a better quality of implementation and be architecture compliant
on ARMv7 for the architected timer by resetting the CNTV_CTL to 0 on
reset of the timer.
This change alone fixes the UEFI reset issue reported by Laszlo back in
February.

In order to remove the crude hack where we sneak the masked bit
into the timer's control register, make use of the phys_irq_map
API control the active state of the interrupt.
This causes some limited changes to allow for potential error
propagation.

When a VCPU is no longer running, we currently check to see if it has a
timer scheduled in the future, and if it does, we schedule a host
hrtimer to notify is in case the timer expires while the VCPU is still
not running. When the hrtimer fires, we mask the guest's timer and
inject the timer IRQ (still relying on the guest unmasking the time when
it receives the IRQ).
This is all good and fine, but when migration a VM (checkpoint/restore)
this introduces a race. It is unlikely, but possible, for the following
sequence of events to happen:
1. Userspace stops the VM
2. Hrtimer for VCPU is scheduled
3. Userspace checkpoints the VGIC state (no pending timer interrupts)
4. The hrtimer fires, schedules work in a workqueue
5. Workqueue function runs, masks the timer and injects timer interrupt
6. Userspace checkpoints the timer state (timer masked)
At restore time, you end up with a masked timer without any timer
interrupts and your guest halts never receiving timer interrupts.
Fix this by only kicking the VCPU in the workqueue function, and sample
the expired state of the timer when entering the guest again and inject
the interrupt and mask the timer only then.

The current timecounter implementation will drop a variable amount
of resolution, depending on the magnitude of the time delta. In
other words, reading the clock too often or too close to a time
stamp conversion will introduce errors into the time values. This
patch fixes the issue by introducing a fractional nanosecond field
that accumulates the low order bits.

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.

Commit 8146875de7 (arm, kvm: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration)
holds the lock before calling the two functions:
kvm_vgic_hyp_init()
kvm_timer_hyp_init()
and both the two functions are calling register_cpu_notifier()
to register cpu notifier, so cause double lock on cpu_add_remove_lock.
Considered that both two functions are only called inside
kvm_arch_init() with holding cpu_add_remove_lock, so simply use
__register_cpu_notifier() to fix the problem.
