Previously the emulation of the CPU timer was just enough to get a Linux
guest running but some shortcuts were taken:
- The guest timer interrupt was hard coded to always happen every 10 ms
rather than being timed to when CP0_Count would match CP0_Compare.
- The guest's CP0_Count register was based on the host's CP0_Count
register. This isn't very portable and fails on cores without a
CP_Count register implemented such as Ingenic XBurst. It also meant
that the guest's CP0_Cause.DC bit to disable the CP0_Count register
took no effect.
- The guest's CP0_Count register was emulated by just dividing the
host's CP0_Count register by 4. This resulted in continuity problems
when used as a clock source, since when the host CP0_Count overflows
from 0x7fffffff to 0x80000000, the guest CP0_Count transitions
discontinuously from 0x1fffffff to 0xe0000000.
Therefore rewrite & fix emulation of the guest timer based on the
monotonic kernel time (i.e. ktime_get()). Internally a 32-bit count_bias
value is added to the frequency scaled nanosecond monotonic time to get
the guest's CP0_Count. The frequency of the timer is initialised to
100MHz and cannot yet be changed, but a later patch will allow the
frequency to be configured via the KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG ioctl
interface.
The timer can now be stopped via the CP0_Cause.DC bit (by the guest or
via the KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface), at which point the current
CP0_Count is stored and can be read directly. When it is restarted the
bias is recalculated such that the CP0_Count value is continuous.
Due to the nature of hrtimer interrupts any read of the guest's
CP0_Count register while it is running triggers a check for whether the
hrtimer has expired, so that the guest/userland cannot observe the
CP0_Count passing CP0_Compare without queuing a timer interrupt. This is
also taken advantage of when stopping the timer to ensure that a pending
timer interrupt is queued.
This replaces the implementation of:
- Guest read of CP0_Count
- Guest write of CP0_Count
- Guest write of CP0_Compare
- Guest write of CP0_Cause
- Guest read of HWR 2 (CC) with RDHWR
- Host read of CP0_Count via KVM_GET_ONE_REG ioctl interface
- Host write of CP0_Count via KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface
- Host write of CP0_Compare via KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface
- Host write of CP0_Cause via KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface

MIPS KVM uses mips32_SyncICache to synchronise the icache with the
dcache after dynamically modifying guest instructions or writing guest
exception vector. However this uses rdhwr to get the SYNCI step, which
causes a reserved instruction exception on Ingenic XBurst cores.
It would seem to make more sense to use local_flush_icache_range()
instead which does the same thing but is more portable.

The code to check whether rd > MIPS_CP0_DESAVE is dead code, since
MIPS_CP0_DESAVE = 31 and rd is already masked with 0x1f. Remove it.

The ability to read hardware registers from userland with the RDHWR
instruction should depend upon the corresponding bit of the HWREna
register being set, otherwise a reserved instruction exception should be
generated.
However KVM's current emulation ignores the guest's HWREna and always
emulates RDHWR instructions even if the guest OS has disallowed them.
Therefore rework the RDHWR emulation code to check for privilege or the
corresponding bit in the guest HWREna bit. Also remove the #if 0 case
for the UserLocal register. I presume it was there for debug purposes
but it seems unnecessary now that the guest can control whether it
causes a guest exception.

Previously a reserved instruction exception while in guest code would
cause a KVM internal error if kvm_mips_handle_ri() didn't recognise the
instruction (including a RDHWR from an unrecognised hardware register).
However the guest OS should really have the opportunity to catch the
exception so that it can take the appropriate actions such as sending a
SIGILL to the guest user process or emulating the instruction itself.
Therefore in these cases emulate a guest RI exception and only return
EMULATE_FAIL if that fails, being careful to revert the PC first in case
the exception occurred in a branch delay slot in which case the PC will
already point to the branch target.
Also turn the printk messages relating to these cases into kvm_debug
messages so that they aren't usually visible.
This allows crashme to run in the guest without killing the entire VM.

This reverts commit d532f3d267.
The original commit has several problems:
1) Doesn't work with 64-bit kernels.
2) Calls TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP() before the code is generated.
3) Calls TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP() twice in per_cpu_trap_init() when
only one call is needed.
[ralf@linux-mips.org: Also revert the bits of the ASID patch which were
hidden in the KVM merge.]

- The Guest kernel is run in UM and privileged instructions cause a trap.
- If the instruction causing the trap is in a branch delay slot, the branch
needs to be emulated to figure out the PC @ which the guest will resume
execution.
