arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: Factor out level irq processing on guest exit
Currently vgic_process_maintenance() processes dealing with a completed
level-triggered interrupt directly, but we are soon going to reuse this
logic for level-triggered mapped interrupts with the HW bit set, so
move this logic into a separate static function.
Probably the most scary part of this commit is convincing yourself that
the current flow is safe compared to the old one. In the following I
try to list the changes and why they are harmless:
Move vgic_irq_clear_queued after kvm_notify_acked_irq:
Harmless because the only potential effect of clearing the queued
flag wrt. kvm_set_irq is that vgic_update_irq_pending does not set
the pending bit on the emulated CPU interface or in the
pending_on_cpu bitmask if the function is called with level=1.
However, the point of kvm_notify_acked_irq is to call kvm_set_irq
with level=0, and we set the queued flag again in
__kvm_vgic_sync_hwstate later on if the level is stil high.
Move vgic_set_lr before kvm_notify_acked_irq:
Also, harmless because the LR are cpu-local operations and
kvm_notify_acked only affects the dist
Move vgic_dist_irq_clear_soft_pend after kvm_notify_acked_irq:
Also harmless, because now we check the level state in the
clear_soft_pend function and lower the pending bits if the level is
low.
