[PATCH 00/19] KVM: arm64: vgic-v3 userspace access consolidation (and other goodies)

[Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>]

Schspa Shi recently reported[1] that some of the vgic code interacting
with userspace was reading uninitialised stack memory, and although
that read wasn't used any further, it prompted me to revisit this part
of the code.

Needless to say, this area of the kernel is pretty crufty, and shows a
bunch of issues in other parts of the KVM/arm64 infrastructure. This
series tries to remedy a bunch of them:

- Sanitise the way we deal with sysregs from userspace: at the moment,
  each and every .set_user/.get_user callback has to implement its own
  userspace accesses (directly or indirectly). It'd be much better if
  that was centralised so that we can reason about it.

- Enforce that all AArch64 sysregs are 64bit. Always. This was sort of
  implied by the code, but it took some effort to convince myself that
  this was actually the case.

- Move the vgic-v3 sysreg userspace accessors to the userspace
  callbacks instead of hijacking the vcpu trap callback. This allows
  us to reuse the sysreg infrastructure.

- Consolidate userspace accesses for both GICv2, GICv3 and common code
  as much as possible.

- Cleanup a bunch of not-very-useful helpers, tidy up some of the code
  as we touch it.

Overall, this is essentially a cosmetic exercise, as there is no new
feature here. But I have the feeling that the result is somehow more
maintainable. This has been (lightly) tested on my Synquacer, and
nothing exploded. Yet. YMMV.
