Since ARMv8.0 the upper 32 bits of ESR_ELx have been RES0, and recently some of the upper bits gained a meaning and can be non-zero. For example, when FEAT_LS64 is implemented, ESR_ELx[36:32] contain ISS2, which for an ST64BV or ST64BV0 can be non-zero. This can be seen in ARM DDI 0487G.b, page D13-3145, section D13.2.37. Generally, we must not rely on RES0 bit remaining zero in future, and when extracting ESR_ELx.EC we must mask out all other bits. All C code uses the ESR_ELx_EC() macro, which masks out the irrelevant bits, and therefore no alterations are required to C code to avoid consuming irrelevant bits. In a couple of places the KVM assembly extracts ESR_ELx.EC using LSR on an X register, and so could in theory consume previously RES0 bits. In both cases this is for comparison with EC values ESR_ELx_EC_HVC32 and ESR_ELx_EC_HVC64, for which the upper bits of ESR_ELx must currently be zero, but this could change in future. This patch adjusts the KVM vectors to use UBFX rather than LSR to extract ESR_ELx.EC, ensuring these are robust to future additions to ESR_ELx.

memslot_perf_test uses ucalls for synchronization between guest and host. Ucalls API is architecture independent: tests do not need to know details like what kind of exit they generate on a specific arch. More specifically, there is no need to check whether an exit is KVM_EXIT_IO in x86 for the host to know that the exit is ucall related, as get_ucall() already makes that check. Change memslot_perf_test to not require specifying what exit does a ucall generate. Also add a missing ucall_init.

Since the timer stack (hardware and KVM) is per-CPU, there are potential chances for races to occur when the scheduler decides to migrate a vCPU thread to a different physical CPU. Hence, include an option to stress-test this part as well by forcing the vCPUs to migrate across physical CPUs in the system at a particular rate. Originally, the bug for the fix with commit 3134cc8b ("KVM: arm64: vgic: Resample HW pending state on deactivation") was discovered using arch_timer test with vCPU migrations and can be easily reproduced.

On systems that advertise ICH_VTR_EL2.SEIS, we trap all GICv3 sysreg accesses from the guest. From a performance perspective, this is OK as long as the guest doesn't hammer the GICv3 CPU interface. In most cases, this is fine, unless the guest actively uses priorities and switches PMR_EL1 very often. Which is exactly what happens when a Linux guest runs with irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1. In these condition, the performance plumets as we hit PMR each time we mask/unmask interrupts. Not good. There is however an opportunity for improvement. Careful reading of the architecture specification indicates that the only GICv3 sysreg belonging to the common group (which contains the SGI registers, PMR, DIR, CTLR and RPR) that is allowed to generate a SError is DIR. Everything else is safe. It is thus possible to substitute the trapping of all the common group with just that of DIR if it supported by the implementation. Yes, that's yet another optional bit of the architecture. So let's just do that, as it leads to some impressive result on the M1: Without this change: bash-5.1# /host/home/maz/hackbench 100 process 1000 Running with 100*40 (== 4000) tasks. Time: 56.596 With this change: bash-5.1# /host/home/maz/hackbench 100 process 1000 Running with 100*40 (== 4000) tasks. Time: 8.649 which is a pretty convincing result.

The infamous M1 has a feature nobody else ever implemented, in the form of the "GIC locally generated SError interrupts", also known as SEIS for short. These SErrors are generated when a guest does something that violates the GIC state machine. It would have been simpler to just *ignore* the damned thing, but that's not what this HW does. Oh well. This part of of the architecture is also amazingly under-specified. There is a whole 10 lines that describe the feature in a spec that is 930 pages long, and some of these lines are factually wrong. Oh, and it is deprecated, so the insentive to clarify it is low. Now, the spec says that this should be a *virtual* SError when HCR_EL2.AMO is set. As it turns out, that's not always the case on this CPU, and the SError sometimes fires on the host as a physical SError. Goodbye, cruel world. This clearly is a HW bug, and it means that a guest can easily take the host down, on demand. Thankfully, we have seen systems that were just as broken in the past, and we have the perfect vaccine for it. Apple M1, please meet the Cavium ThunderX workaround. All your GIC accesses will be trapped, sanitised, and emulated. Only the signalling aspect of the HW will be used. It won't be super speedy, but it will at least be safe. You're most welcome. Given that this has only ever been seen on this single implementation, that the spec is unclear at best and that we cannot trust it to ever be implemented correctly, gate the workaround solely on ICH_VTR_EL2.SEIS being set.
