Subject: [PATCH v6] arch/powerpc/kvm: Add support for reading VPA counters for pseries guests

PAPR hypervisor has introduced three new counters in the VPA area of
LPAR CPUs for KVM L2 guest (see [1] for terminology) observability - 2
for context switches from host to guest and vice versa, and 1 counter
for getting the total time spent inside the KVM guest. Add a tracepoint
that enables reading the counters for use by ftrace/perf. Note that this
tracepoint is only available for nestedv2 API (i.e, KVM on PowerVM).

[1] Terminology:
a. L1 refers to the VM (LPAR) booted on top of PAPR hypervisor
b. L2 refers to the KVM guest booted on top of L1.

v5 -> v6:
1. Use TRACE_EVENT_FN to enable/disable counters only once.
2. Remove the agg. counters from vcpu->arch.
3. Use PACA to maintain old counter values instead of zeroing on every
entry.
4. Simplify variable names

v4 -> v5:
1. Define helper functions for getting/setting the accumulation counter
in L2's VPA

v3 -> v4:
1. After vcpu_run, check the VPA flag instead of checking for tracepoint
being enabled for disabling the cs time accumulation.

v2 -> v3:
1. Move the counter disabling and zeroing code to a different function.
2. Move the get_lppaca() inside the tracepoint_enabled() branch.
3. Add the aggregation logic to maintain total context switch time.

v1 -> v2:
1. Fix the build error due to invalid struct member reference.

Depending on how the hypervisor works, if the vcpu was in l2 when the
tracepoint is enabled, the counters may not be updated on exit and we
may emit a trace with all values zero. If that is possible, it might be
a good idea to only emit the trace if any of the counters are non-zero.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.

I wonder if we shouldn't be moving over to use READ_ONCE for these
instead of volatile.

Probably doesn't really matter here. Maybe general audit of volatiles
in arch/powerpc could be something to put in linuxppc issues.

I don't think these really need to be in the paca.

paca is for per-cpu stuff that is accessed in real mode, early interrupt
entry, etc.

So you're just using the per-cpu values to cache the last value
read so next time you can take a delta.

Could you zero the counters before entry? Or just use local
variables to read the before values.

If you want to keep the same scheme, I think per-cpu variables
should work.

Otherwise,

All the nested KVM code should really go under CONFIG_PSERIES.
Possibly even moved out to its own file.

For now maybe you could just ifdef these few functions and
replace with noop variants for !PSERIES.
