The communication of a Linux IRQ number from outside the VGIC to the
vgic was a leftover from the day when the vgic code cared about how a
particular device injects virtual interrupts mapped to a physical
interrupt.
We can safely remove this notion, leaving all physical IRQ handling to
be done in the device driver (the arch timer in this case), which makes
room for a saner API for the new VGIC.

commit 3491caf275 ("KVM: halt_polling: provide a way to qualify
wakeups during poll") added more aggressive shrinking of the
polling interval if the wakeup did not match some criteria. This
still allows to keep polling enabled if the polling time was
smaller that the current max poll time (block_ns <= vcpu->halt_poll_ns).
Performance measurement shows that even more aggressive shrinking
(shrink polling on any invalid wakeup) reduces absolute and relative
(to the workload) CPU usage even further.

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.
This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

The KVM_MAX_VCPUS define provides the maximum number of vCPUs per guest, and
also the upper limit for vCPU ids. This is okay for all archs except PowerPC
which can have higher ids, depending on the cpu/core/thread topology. In the
worst case (single threaded guest, host with 8 threads per core), it limits
the maximum number of vCPUS to KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 8.
This patch separates the vCPU numbering from the total number of vCPUs, with
the introduction of KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, as the maximal valid value for vCPU ids
plus one.
The corresponding KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID allows userspace to validate vCPU ids
before passing them to KVM_CREATE_VCPU.
This patch only implements KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID with a specific value for PowerPC.
Other archs continue to return KVM_MAX_VCPUS instead.

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
order to avoid too much code duplication.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

linearly anymore (we may skip some), the convoluted accessors become
slightly simpler, and we can drop the ugly indexing macro that
