[PATCH 0/8] KVM: arm64: Rework pKVM vCPU state synchronisation

[Fuad Tabba <tabba@google.com>]

Hi folks,

Changes since v1 [2]:
  - Dropped the guard()/scoped_guard() conversion patches: standalone churn
    on code this series does not otherwise rework. (Marc)
  - Rebased onto kvmarm/next. The VGIC flush primitive now bounds used_lrs
    using the cached hyp_gicv3_nr_lr instead of reading ICH_VTR_EL2 on every
    entry. (Marc)
  - Grouped the PKVM_HOST_STATE_DIRTY flag with the other iflags and
    clarified its comment. (Marc)
  - Sync PSTATE alongside PC on every non-protected exit, and sync+dirty
    before host-side SError injection so the syndrome is not dropped. (sashiko)
  - Various cleanups and tidying up. (Vincent)

Building on Will's pKVM infrastructure series [1], this series reworks
how pKVM moves vCPU state between the host and EL2, and stops copying a
non-protected guest's state on every world switch.

EL2 gains proper primitives for the state it transfers: vCPU lookup
helpers, and VGIC flush/sync that reduces how much host state EL2
dereferences. The series also moves some preparatory code (such as sys
reg access and PSCI helpers) to shared headers and HYP, and implements
lazy copying of a non-protected guest's register state back to the host
until the host actually needs it, instead of on every exit.

This is the first of two series moving pKVM vCPU state management to
EL2. The follow-up completes the job for protected VMs: state
isolation, PSCI handling at EL2, and the resulting API behaviour.

The series is structured as follows:

  01-04:  Preparatory refactoring (MPIDR, sys reg access, vCPU reset, PSCI
          helpers) to shared headers and HYP.
  05:     Host and hypervisor vCPU lookup primitives.
  06-07:  VGIC: reduce EL2's exposure to host state, add flush/sync primitives.
  08:     Lazy state sync for non-protected guests.

Based on kvmarm/next.
