RFC -> v2:
=========
- Addressed sashiko review comments
- added patch-3 to address similar __ffs(0) problem on booke
- fixed build issues in patch-4
- added patch-5 to reject vcpu ids beyond the PAPR limit
- Few more patches were added. Few of them were reported by Sashiko and few
others were caught while doing vcpu create path code walkthrough
Most of these issues were identified while adding kvm powerpc selftests
infrastructure support [1] (which is now merged upstream). Patch-1 and Patch-2
were identified while running the selftests on Qemu+TCG+powernv+BE, while
Patch-4 can also be reproduced on a real pseries LPAR with nestedv2
capabilities.

kvmhv_vcpu_entry_p9() recovers the guest fault state from the paca
exception save area with
vcpu->arch.fault_dsisr = exsave[EX_DSISR/sizeof(u64)];
but EX_DSISR is not a doubleword. It is a 32-bit field at offset 48 that
shares a doubleword with EX_CCR at offset 52 and the exception entry in
exceptions-64s.S stores it accordingly. For e.g.
stw r10,IAREA+EX_DSISR(r13)
This issue was caught when running kvm selftests on big-endian, where
this read would land in the high half and the truncation yields EX_CCR
instead - KVM acts on the guest's condition register as if it were
HDSISR.
The result is that every HDSI on a big-endian host is evaluated against a
bogus fault status i.e. it fails with below error:
KVM: Got radix HV page fault with DSISR=84004840
Let's fix this by reading this field at it's natural width.

This problem was caught when running KVM PPC selftests on big-endian.
__ffs() doc clearly says:
"Undefined if no bit exists, so code should check against 0 first"
This cause KVM to deliever an arbitrary interrupt to the guest and was
causing guest to hang up while running these selftests.
On checking further - GCC was emitting 0 in this case, which caused
System Reset in guest while running kvm selftests.
Use find_first_bit() instead, which reads the word once and returns the
bitmap size when no bit is set, instead of reading *pending twice
thereby causing TOCTOU as pointed by Sashiko.

kvmppc_core_check_exceptions() has the same pattern as the Book3S code:
it starts the scan of the pending exception bitmap with
__ffs(*pending) and is called from kvmppc_core_prepare_to_enter() on
every guest entry, so it routinely passes 0 to __ffs(), which is
undefined.
To be safe here, let's use find_first_bit(), which returns the bitmap
size when no bit is set.

PAPR spec for H_GUEST_CREATE_VCPU says:
"Only 2048 VCPUs can be created, and the specified ID must be in the range of 0
to 2047"
However, KVM reports KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS as NR_CPUS and KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID as
8 * NR_CPUS. It also passes the userspace vCPU id through to the hcall unchanged.
On a nestedv2 host (KVM on PowerVM / pseries nested PAPR) built with
NR_CPUS > 2048, kvm selftest e.g. kvm_create_max_vcpus will create vCPU
2048 and fail with EINVAL when the hypervisor returns H_P3.
Following error gets reported (with a debug print added to selftest to
print failed vcpu_id number):
./kvm_create_max_vcpus

KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID: 65536

Cap both extensions at 2048 when kvmhv_is_nestedv2() is set, so
userspace never requests an id the L0 cannot create. PowerNV and
nestedv1 are unchanged. The issue is only seen with nestedv2.
While at it, this also fixes the limit for KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS.

The previous patch caps KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID at 2048 on nestedv2 but
nothing actually enforces it. The generic KVM_CREATE_VCPU path only
checks the id against KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS, which is 8 * NR_CPUS on HV.
That means a VMM that ignores the capability can still pass a larger id.
That id goes all the way down to H_GUEST_CREATE_VCPU, where the L0
rejects it and prints, ...
KVM: Create Guest vcpu hcall failed, rc=-56
...for every such attempt before failing the ioctl with -EINVAL anyway.
Check the id in kvm_arch_vcpu_precreate() instead so it fails early with
the same -EINVAL. Note that PowerNV and nestedv1 are not affected.

kvmppc_vcore_create() can fail and return NULL, this patch fixes the
error handling when this happens.
vcore and online_vcores count should only be updated when vcore was
actually created, otherwise it's state gets messed up for the VM run.

On a nestedv2 host, kvmppc_core_vcpu_create_hv() first creates the vCPU
in the L0 with kvmhv_nestedv2_vcpu_create(), which also allocates the
guest state messages and the run input/output buffers. Only after that
it picks a vcore for the vCPU - which can actually fail.
This patch therefore takes care of freeing the GSM abd GSB for nestedv2
if an error occurs later as part of the cleanup routine.
