The ARM architecture has introduced a while back some 64 byte
Load/Store operations that are targeting NormalNC or Device memory.
People have been threatening of using this in actual code, so we might
as well support it. It also fits my plans to cover the features
enabled by HCRX_EL2.

From a KVM perspective, it is only a load/store. Nothing to call home
about. However, there are two situations where this is interesting:

- a NV guest wants to trap these instructions: we need to correctly
  route them.

- the access falls outside of a memslot, and userspace needs to handle
  this.

This last point is of special interest. Instead of going through the
pain of doing all the decoding in the kernel and presenting the VMM
with a fully decoded access (like it is the case for normal MMIO), we
brutally return the ESR+IPA and let userspace deal with the outcome,
hijacking the data structures for KVM_EXIT_ARM_NISV for that purpose.

It has all the information at its disposal through the vcpu ioctl
interface, and can definitely do what's asked. Just not very quickly

I don't think this is a problem, and that approximately 100% of the
VMMs will simply inject an external abort as an indication that they
are not handling this.

This is otherwise pretty uninteresting code.

Marc Zyngier (11):

  KVM: arm64: Add ACCDATA_EL1 to the sysreg array
  KVM: arm64: Add context-switch of ACCDATA_EL1
  KVM: arm64: Handle trapping of FEAT_LS64* instructions
  KVM: arm64: Add exit to userspace on {LD,ST}64B* outside of memslots
  KVM: arm64: Restrict ACCDATA_EL1 undef to FEAT_ST64_ACCDATA being
    disabled
