Subject: [PATCH v3 0/9] KVM: Fix tick-based accounting for x86 guests

This is a continuation of Wanpeng's series[1] to fix tick-based CPU time
accounting on x86, with my cleanups[2] bolted on top. The core premise of
Wanpeng's patches are preserved, but they are heavily stripped down.
Specifically, only the "guest exit" paths are split, and no code is
consolidated. The intent is to do as little as possible in the three
patches that need to be backported. Keeping those changes as small as
possible also meant that my cleanups did not need to unwind much
refactoring.

On x86, tested CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN =y and =n, and with
CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY=y && CONFIG_VALIDATE_STACKS=y. Compile tested arm64,
MIPS, PPC, and s390, the latter with CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY=y for giggles.

One last note: I elected to use vtime_account_guest_exit() in the x86 code
instead of open coding these equivalents:

if (vtime_accounting_enabled_this_cpu())
vtime_guest_exit(current);
...
if (!vtime_accounting_enabled_this_cpu())
current->flags &= ~PF_VCPU;

With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=n, this is a complete non-issue, but
for the =y case it means context_tracking_enabled_this_cpu() is being
checked back-to-back. The redundant checks bug me, but open coding the
gory details in x86 or providing funky variants in vtime.h felt worse.

Delta from Wanpeng's v2:

- s/context_guest/context_tracking_guest, purely to match the existing
functions. I have no strong opinion either way.
- Split only the "exit" functions.
- Partially open code vcpu_account_guest_exit() and
__vtime_account_guest_exit() in x86 to avoid churn when segueing into
my cleanups (see above).

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/9] context_tracking: Move guest exit context tracking to separate helpers

From: Wanpeng Li <[email protected]>

Provide separate context tracking helpers for guest exit, the standalone
helpers will be called separately by KVM x86 in later patches to fix
tick-based accounting.

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/9] context_tracking: Move guest exit vtime accounting to separate helpers

From: Wanpeng Li <[email protected]>

Provide separate vtime accounting functions for guest exit instead of
open coding the logic within the context tracking code. This will allow
KVM x86 to handle vtime accounting slightly differently when using
tick-based accounting.

Please Cc me on any follow-up of this patchset. I have set up a lot of booby
traps on purpose in this cave and I might be able to remember a few on the way.
Should you meet one of the poisoned arrows, rest assured that you were not the
aimed target though.

Thanks.

You can make this context_tracking_guest_exit() since there is no irq-on
version.

Thanks.
