This series adds event channel acceleration for Xen guests. In particular
it allows guest vCPUs to send each other IPIs without having to bounce
all the way out to the userspace VMM in order to do so. Likewise, the
Xen singleshot timer is added, and a version of SCHEDOP_poll. Those
major features are based on Joao and Boris' patches from 2019.
Cleaning up the event delivery into the vcpu_info involved using the new
gfn_to_pfn_cache for that, and that means I ended up doing so for *all*
the places the guest can have a pvclock.
v0: Proof-of-concept RFC
v1:
• Drop the runstate fix which is merged now.
• Add Sean's gfn_to_pfn_cache API change at the start of the series.
• Add KVM self tests
• Minor bug fixes
v2:
• Drop dirty handling from gfn_to_pfn_cache
• Fix !CONFIG_KVM_XEN build and duplicate call to kvm_xen_init_vcpu()
v3:
• Add KVM_XEN_EVTCHN_RESET to clear all outbound ports.
• Clean up a stray #if 1 in a part of the the test case that was once
being recalcitrant.
• Check kvm_xen_has_pending_events() in kvm_vcpu_has_events() and *not*
kvm_xen_has_pending_timer() which is checked from elsewhere.
• Fix warnings noted by the kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>:
• Make kvm_xen_init_timer() static.
• Make timer delta calculation use an explicit s64 to fix 32-bit build.
