When the guest accesses I/O memory this will create data abort
exceptions and they are handled by decoding the HSR information
(physical address, read/write, length, register) and forwarding reads
and writes to QEMU which performs the device emulation.
Certain classes of load/store operations do not support the syndrome
information provided in the HSR. We don't support decoding these (patches
are available elsewhere), so we report an error to user space in this case.
This requires changing the general flow somewhat since new calls to run
the VCPU must check if there's a pending MMIO load and perform the write
after userspace has made the data available.

Handles the guest faults in KVM by mapping in corresponding user pages
in the 2nd stage page tables.
We invalidate the instruction cache by MVA whenever we map a page to the
guest (no, we cannot only do it when we have an iabt because the guest
may happily read/write a page before hitting the icache) if the hardware
uses VIPT or PIPT. In the latter case, we can invalidate only that
physical page. In the first case, all bets are off and we simply must
invalidate the whole affair. Not that VIVT icaches are tagged with
vmids, and we are out of the woods on that one. Alexander Graf was nice
enough to remind us of this massive pain.

Adds a new important function in the main KVM/ARM code called
handle_exit() which is called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() on returns
from guest execution. This function examines the Hyp-Syndrome-Register
(HSR), which contains information telling KVM what caused the exit from
the guest.
Some of the reasons for an exit are CP15 accesses, which are
not allowed from the guest and this commit handles these exits by
emulating the intended operation in software and skipping the guest
instruction.
Minor notes about the coproc register reset:
1) We reserve a value of 0 as an invalid cp15 offset, to catch bugs in our
table, at cost of 4 bytes per vcpu.
2) Added comments on the table indicating how we handle each register, for
simplicity of understanding.

All interrupt injection is now based on the VM ioctl KVM_IRQ_LINE. This
works semantically well for the GIC as we in fact raise/lower a line on
a machine component (the gic). The IOCTL uses the follwing struct.
struct kvm_irq_level {
union {
__u32 irq; /* GSI */
__s32 status; /* not used for KVM_IRQ_LEVEL */
};
__u32 level; /* 0 or 1 */
};
ARM can signal an interrupt either at the CPU level, or at the in-kernel irqchip
(GIC), and for in-kernel irqchip can tell the GIC to use PPIs designated for
specific cpus. The irq field is interpreted like this:
bits: | 31 ... 24 | 23 ... 16 | 15 ... 0 |
field: | irq_type | vcpu_index | irq_number |
The irq_type field has the following values:
- irq_type[0]: out-of-kernel GIC: irq_number 0 is IRQ, irq_number 1 is FIQ
- irq_type[1]: in-kernel GIC: SPI, irq_number between 32 and 1019 (incl.)
(the vcpu_index field is ignored)
- irq_type[2]: in-kernel GIC: PPI, irq_number between 16 and 31 (incl.)
The irq_number thus corresponds to the irq ID in as in the GICv2 specs.
This is documented in Documentation/kvm/api.txt.

This commit introduces the framework for guest memory management
through the use of 2nd stage translation. Each VM has a pointer
to a level-1 table (the pgd field in struct kvm_arch) which is
used for the 2nd stage translations. Entries are added when handling
guest faults (later patch) and the table itself can be allocated and
freed through the following functions implemented in
arch/arm/kvm/arm_mmu.c:
- kvm_alloc_stage2_pgd(struct kvm *kvm);
- kvm_free_stage2_pgd(struct kvm *kvm);
Each entry in TLBs and caches are tagged with a VMID identifier in
addition to ASIDs. The VMIDs are assigned consecutively to VMs in the
order that VMs are executed, and caches and tlbs are invalidated when
the VMID space has been used to allow for more than 255 simultaenously
running guests.
The 2nd stage pgd is allocated in kvm_arch_init_vm(). The table is
freed in kvm_arch_destroy_vm(). Both functions are called from the main
KVM code.
We pre-allocate page table memory to be able to synchronize using a
spinlock and be called under rcu_read_lock from the MMU notifiers. We
steal the mmu_memory_cache implementation from x86 and adapt for our
specific usage.
We support MMU notifiers (thanks to Marc Zyngier) through
kvm_unmap_hva and kvm_set_spte_hva.
Finally, define kvm_phys_addr_ioremap() to map a device at a guest IPA,
which is used by VGIC support to map the virtual CPU interface registers
to the guest. This support is added by Marc Zyngier.

Targets KVM support for Cortex A-15 processors.
Contains all the framework components, make files, header files, some
tracing functionality, and basic user space API.
Only supported core is Cortex-A15 for now.
Most functionality is in arch/arm/kvm/* or arch/arm/include/asm/kvm_*.h.
