[PATCH v5 0/8] KVM: x86: Add CMCI and UCNA emulation

This patch series implement emulation for Corrected Machine Check
Interrupt (CMCI) signaling and UnCorrectable No Action required (UCNA)
error injection.

UCNA errors signaled via CMCI allow a guest to be notified as soon as
uncorrectable memory errors get detected by some background threads,
e.g., threads that migrate guest memory across hosts or threads that
constantly scan system memory for errors [1].

Upon receiving UCNAs, guest kernel isolates the poisoned pages which may
still be free, preventing future accesses that may cause fatal MCEs.

Patch 1-3 clean up KVM APIC LVT logic in preparation to adding APIC_LVTCMCI.

Patch 4 adds APIC_LVTCMCI emulation.

Patch 5 updates mce_banks to use array allocation api.

Patch 6 adds emulation for MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL2 registers that provide per
bank control of CMCI signaling.

Patch 7 enables MCG_CMCI_P and handles injected UCNA errors.

Patch 8 adds a KVM self test that validates UCNA injection and CMCI
emulation.

v5 changes

- Removes several duplicated checks in UCNA injection code.
- Add test cases that validate CMCI emulation to self test.

v4 changes
- Incorporate feedback from David Matlack <dmatlack@google.com>
- Rewrite the change logs to be more descriptive.
- Add a KVM self test.

v3 changes
- Incorporate feedback from Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
- Split clean up to KVM APIC LVT logic to 3 patches.
- Put the clean up of mce_array allocation in a separate patch.
- Base the MCi_CTL2 register emulation on Sean's clean up and fix
series [2]
- Fix bugs around MCi_CTL2 register offset validation and the free of
mci_ctl2_banks array.

v2 chanegs
- Incorporate feedback from Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
- Split the single patch into 4:
1). clean up KVM APIC LVT logic
2). add CMCI emulation to lapic
3). add emulation of MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL2
4). enable MCG_CMCI_P and handle injected UCNAs
- Fix various style issues.
