[RFC PATCH 00/14] KVM: arm64: Support FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple hardware

[Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@linux.dev>]

One of the interesting features of some Apple M* parts is an IMPDEF trap
that routes EL1/EL0 accesses of the PMUv3 registers to EL2. This allows
a hypervisor to emulate an architectural PMUv3 on top of the IMPDEF PMU
hardware present in the CPU.

And if you squint, this _might_ look like a CPU erratum :-)

This series takes advantage of these IMPDEF traps to provide PMUv3 to
KVM guests. As a starting point, only expose the fixed CPU cycle counter
and no event counters. Conveniently, this is enough to get Windows
running as a KVM guest on Apple hardware.

I've tried to keep the deviation to a minimum by refactoring some of the
flows used for PMUv3, e.g. computing PMCEID from the arm_pmu bitmap
instead of reading hardware directly.

Sending this as an RFC as there are some obvious open Qs:

 - Does enabling PMUv3 meet the bar for allowing IMPDEF crap to slide
   into KVM?

   I certainly think the answer is 'yes', especially considering this
   enables Windows guests.

 - Do we want to support programmable event counters?

   I'm sitting on some extra patches to do this, which maps a few
   architectural event IDs into the PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE space, allowing
   the perf driver to select the right hardware event ID.

   Deciding on a sensible number of counters in this case is a bit of a
   mess, as the M* PMCs aren't entirely fungible (some events only work
   on specific counters).

Applies to 6.13-rc1. I've only enabled this for M2 as it is the hardware
I have, but it is extremely likely this feature works on other M* parts.

It is also very possible I've broken something for true PMUv3 hardware,
as I've only tested on the M2.
