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.

We can definitely decide at run-time whether to use the GIC and timers
or not, and the extra code and data structures that we allocate space
for is really negligable with this config option, so I don't think it's
worth the extra complexity of always having to define stub static
inlines. The !CONFIG_KVM_ARM_VGIC/TIMER case is pretty much an untested
code path anyway, so we're better off just getting rid of it.

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.

For correct guest suspend/resume behaviour we need to ensure we include
the generic timer registers for 64 bit guests. As CONFIG_KVM_ARM_TIMER is
always set for arm64 we don't need to worry about null implementations.
However I have re-jigged the kvm_arm_timer_set/get_reg declarations to
be in the common include/kvm/arm_arch_timer.h headers.

The arch_timer irq numbers (or PPI numbers) are implementation dependent,
so the host virtual timer irq number can be different from guest virtual
timer irq number.
This patch ensures that host virtual timer irq number is read from DTB and
guest virtual timer irq is determined based on vcpu target type.

As KVM/arm64 is looming on the horizon, it makes sense to move some
of the common code to a single location in order to reduce duplication.
The code could live anywhere. Actually, most of KVM is already built
with a bunch of ugly ../../.. hacks in the various Makefiles, so we're
not exactly talking about style here. But maybe it is time to start
moving into a less ugly direction.
The include files must be in a "public" location, as they are accessed
from non-KVM files (arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c).
For this purpose, introduce two new locations:
- virt/kvm/arm/ : x86 and ia64 already share the ioapic code in
virt/kvm, so this could be seen as a (very ugly) precedent.
- include/kvm/ : there is already an include/xen, and while the
intent is slightly different, this seems as good a location as
any
Eventually, we should probably have independant Makefiles at every
levels (just like everywhere else in the kernel), but this is just
the first step.
