On an (even slightly) oversubscribed system, spinlocks are quickly
becoming a bottleneck, as some vcpus are spinning, waiting for a
lock to be released, while the vcpu holding the lock may not be
running at all.

This creates contention, and the observed slowdown is 40x for
hackbench. No, this isn't a typo.

The solution is to trap blocking WFEs and tell KVM that we're
now spinning. This ensures that other vpus will get a scheduling
boost, allowing the lock to be released more quickly. Also, using
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT slightly improves the performance
when the VM is severely overcommited.

Quick test to estimate the performance: hackbench 1 process 1000

2xA15 host (baseline):	1.843s

2xA15 guest w/o patch:	2.083s
4xA15 guest w/o patch:	80.212s
8xA15 guest w/o patch:	Could not be bothered to find out

2xA15 guest w/ patch:	2.102s
4xA15 guest w/ patch:	3.205s
8xA15 guest w/ patch:	6.887s

So we go from a 40x degradation to 1.5x in the 2x overcommit case,
which is vaguely more acceptable.

Page pinning is not mandatory in kvm async page fault processing since
after async page fault event is delivered to a guest it accesses page once
again and does its own GUP.  Drop the FOLL_GET flag in GUP in async_pf

This patch adds support for running Cortex-A7 guests on Cortex-A7 hosts.

As Cortex-A7 is architecturally compatible with A15, this patch is largely just
generalising existing code. Areas where 'implementation defined' behaviour
is identical for A7 and A15 is moved to allow it to be used by both cores.

The check to ensure that coprocessor register tables are sorted correctly is
also moved in to 'common' code to avoid each new cpu doing its own check
(and possibly forgetting to do so!)

The T{0,1}SZ fields of TTBCR are 3 bits wide when using the long descriptor
format. Likewise, the T0SZ field of the HTCR is 3-bits. KVM currently
defines TTBCR_T{0,1}SZ as 3, not 7.

The T0SZ mask is used to calculate the value for the HTCR, both to pick out
TTBCR.T0SZ and mask off the equivalent field in the HTCR during
read-modify-write. The incorrect mask size causes the (UNKNOWN) reset value
of HTCR.T0SZ to leak in to the calculated HTCR value. Linux will hang when
initializing KVM if HTCR's reset value has bit 2 set (sometimes the case on
A7/TC2)

Fixing T0SZ allows A7 cores to boot and T1SZ is also fixed for completeness.

KVM does not have a notion of multiple clusters for CPUs, just a linear
array of CPUs. When using a system with cores in more than one cluster, the
current method for calculating the virtual MPIDR will leak the (physical)
cluster information into the virtual MPIDR. One effect of this is that
Linux under KVM fails to boot multiple CPUs that aren't in the 0th cluster.

This patch does away with exposing the real MPIDR fields in favour of simply
using the virtual CPU number (but preserving the U bit, as before).

When KVM (de)assigns PCI(e) devices to VMs, a debug message is printed
including the BDF notation of the respective device. Currently, the BDF
notation does not have the commonly used leading zeros. This produces
messages like "assign device 0:1:8.0", which look strange at first sight.

The patch fixes this by exchanging the printk(KERN_DEBUG ...) with dev_info()
and also inserts "kvm" into the debug message, so that it is obvious where
the message comes from. Also reduces LoC.

If an exception causes vmexit directly it should not be reported in

distinguish between exception that is injected into nested VM and one that
is reinjected because its delivery failed. Fortunately we already have
mechanism to do so for nested SVM, so here we just use correct function
to requeue exceptions and make sure that reinjected exception is not
moved to IDT_VECTORING_INFO during vmexit emulation and not re-checked
for interception during delivery.
