Use open_path_or_exit() helper to probe /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap in
the access tracking perf test so that a helpful/pertinent SKIP message is
printed if the file exists but is inaccessible, e.g. because the file has
the kernel's default 0600 permissions.

Use MGLRU's debugfs interface to do access tracking instead of
page_idle. The logic to use the page_idle bitmap is left in, as it is
useful for kernels that do not have MGLRU built in.
When MGLRU is enabled, page_idle will report pages as still idle even
after being accessed, as MGLRU doesn't necessarily clear the Idle folio
flag when accessing an idle page, so the test will not attempt to use
page_idle if MGLRU is enabled but otherwise not usable.
Aging pages with MGLRU is much faster than marking pages as idle with
page_idle.

x86 Xen-for-KVM:
* Allow the Xen runstate information to cross a page boundary
* Allow XEN_RUNSTATE_UPDATE flag behaviour to be configured
* add support for 32-bit guests in SCHEDOP_poll
x86 fixes:
* One-off fixes for various emulation flows (SGX, VMXON, NRIPS=0).
* Reinstate IBPB on emulated VM-Exit that was incorrectly dropped a few
years back when eliminating unnecessary barriers when switching between
vmcs01 and vmcs02.
* Clean up the MSR filter docs.
* Clean up vmread_error_trampoline() to make it more obvious that params
must be passed on the stack, even for x86-64.
* Let userspace set all supported bits in MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL irrespective
of the current guest CPUID.
* Fudge around a race with TSC refinement that results in KVM incorrectly
thinking a guest needs TSC scaling when running on a CPU with a
constant TSC, but no hardware-enumerated TSC frequency.
* Advertise (on AMD) that the SMM_CTL MSR is not supported
* Remove unnecessary exports
Selftests:
* Fix an inverted check in the access tracking perf test, and restore
support for asserting that there aren't too many idle pages when
running on bare metal.
* Fix an ordering issue in the AMX test introduced by recent conversions
to use kvm_cpu_has(), and harden the code to guard against similar bugs
in the future. Anything that tiggers caching of KVM's supported CPUID,
kvm_cpu_has() in this case, effectively hides opt-in XSAVE features if
the caching occurs before the test opts in via prctl().
* Fix build errors that occur in certain setups (unsure exactly what is
unique about the problematic setup) due to glibc overriding
static_assert() to a variant that requires a custom message.
* Introduce actual atomics for clear/set_bit() in selftests
Documentation:
* Remove deleted ioctls from documentation
* Various fixes

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.2
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on.
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the hypervisor
to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB pages
only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB pages.
- Add/Enable/Fix a bunch of selftests covering memslots, breakpoints,
stage-2 faults and access tracking. You name it, we got it, we
probably broke it.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
As a side effect, this tag also drags:
- The 'kvmarm-fixes-6.1-3' tag as a dependency to the dirty-ring
series
- A shared branch with the arm64 tree that repaints all the system
registers to match the ARM ARM's naming, and resulting in
interesting conflicts

Restore the assert (on x86-64) that <10% of pages are still idle when NOT
running as a nested VM in the access tracking test. The original assert
was converted to a "warning" to avoid false failures when running the
test in a VM, but the non-nested case does not suffer from the same
"infinite TLB size" issue.
Using the HYPERVISOR flag isn't infallible as VMMs aren't strictly
required to enumerate the "feature" in CPUID, but practically speaking
anyone that is running KVM selftests in VMs is going to be using a VMM
and hypervisor that sets the HYPERVISOR flag.

Warn if the number of idle pages is greater than or equal to 10% of the
total number of pages, not if the percentage of idle pages is less than
10%. The original code asserted that less than 10% of pages were still
idle, but the check got inverted when the assert was converted to a
warning.
Opportunistically clean up the warning; selftests are 64-bit only, there
is no need to use "%PRIu64" instead of "%lu".

Signal that a test run is complete through perf_test_args instead of
having tests open code a similar solution. Ensure that the field resets
to false at the beginning of a test run as the structure is reused
between test runs, eliminating a couple of bugs:
access_tracking_perf_test hangs indefinitely on a subsequent test run,
as 'done' remains true. The bug doesn't amount to much right now, as x86
supports a single guest mode. However, this is a precondition of
enabling the test for other architectures with >1 guest mode, like
arm64.
memslot_modification_stress_test has the exact opposite problem, where
subsequent test runs complete immediately as 'run_vcpus' remains false.

Replace the perf_test_ prefix on symbol names with memstress_ to match
the new file name.
"memstress" better describes the functionality proveded by this library,
which is to provide functionality for creating and running a VM that
stresses VM memory by reading and writing to guest memory on all vCPUs
in parallel.
"memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test",
making it a drop-in replacement in symbols, e.g. function names, without
impacting line lengths. Also the lack of underscore between "mem" and
"stress" makes it clear "memstress" is a noun.

Randomize which pages are written vs read using the random number
generator.
Change the variable wr_fract and associated function calls to
write_percent that now operates as a percentage from 0 to 100 where X
means each page has an X% chance of being written. Change the -f
argument to -w to reflect the new variable semantics. Keep the same
default of 100% writes.
Population always uses 100% writes to ensure all memory is actually
populated and not just mapped to the zero page. The prevents expensive
copy-on-write faults from occurring during the dirty memory iterations
below, which would pollute the performance results.
Each vCPU calculates its own random seed by adding its index to the
seed provided.

Page_idle uses {ptep/pmdp}_clear_young_notify which in turn calls
the mmu notifier callback ->clear_young(), which purposefully
does not flush the TLB.
When running the test in a nested guest, point 1. of the test
doc header is violated, because KVM TLB is unbounded by size
and since no flush is forced, KVM does not update the sptes
accessed/idle bits resulting in guest assertion failure.
More precisely, only the first ACCESS_WRITE in run_test() actually
makes visible changes, because sptes are created and the accessed
bit is set to 1 (or idle bit is 0). Then the first mark_memory_idle()
passes since access bit is still one, and sets all pages as idle
(or not accessed). When the next write is performed, the update
is not flushed therefore idle is still 1 and next mark_memory_idle()
fails.

Add TEST_REQUIRE() and __TEST_REQUIRE() to replace the myriad open coded
instances of selftests exiting with KSFT_SKIP after printing an
informational message. In addition to reducing the amount of boilerplate
code in selftests, the UPPERCASE macro names make it easier to visually
identify a test's requirements.
Convert usage that erroneously uses something other than print_skip()
and/or "exits" with '0' or some other non-KSFT_SKIP value.
Intentionally drop a kvm_vm_free() in aarch64/debug-exceptions.c as part
of the conversion. All memory and file descriptors are freed on process
exit, so the explicit free is superfluous.

All selftests that support the backing_src option were printing their
own description of the flag and then calling backing_src_help() to dump
the list of available backing sources. Consolidate the flag printing in
backing_src_help() to align indentation, reduce duplicated strings, and
improve consistency across tests.
Note: Passing "-s" to backing_src_help is unnecessary since every test
uses the same flag. However I decided to keep it for code readability
at the call sites.
While here this opportunistically fixes the incorrectly interleaved
printing -x help message and list of backing source types in
dirty_log_perf_test.

perf_test_util is used to set up KVM selftests where vCPUs touch a
region of memory. The guest code is implemented in perf_test_util.c (not
the calling selftests). The guest code requires a 1 parameter, the
vcpuid, which has to be set by calling vcpu_args_set(vm, vcpu_id, 1,
vcpu_id).
Today all of the selftests that use perf_test_util are making this call.
Instead, perf_test_util should just do it. This will save some code but
more importantly prevents mistakes since totally non-obvious that this
needs to be called and failing to do so results in vCPUs not accessing
the right regions of memory.

This test measures the performance effects of KVM's access tracking.
Access tracking is driven by the MMU notifiers test_young, clear_young,
and clear_flush_young. These notifiers do not have a direct userspace
API, however the clear_young notifier can be triggered by marking a
pages as idle in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. This test leverages
that mechanism to enable access tracking on guest memory.
To measure performance this test runs a VM with a configurable number of
vCPUs that each touch every page in disjoint regions of memory.
Performance is measured in the time it takes all vCPUs to finish
touching their predefined region.
Example invocation:
$ ./access_tracking_perf_test -v 8
Testing guest mode: PA-bits:ANY, VA-bits:48, 4K pages
guest physical test memory offset: 0xffdfffff000
Populating memory : 1.337752570s
Writing to populated memory : 0.010177640s
Reading from populated memory : 0.009548239s
Mark memory idle : 23.973131748s
Writing to idle memory : 0.063584496s
Mark memory idle : 24.924652964s
Reading from idle memory : 0.062042814s
Breaking down the results:
* "Populating memory": The time it takes for all vCPUs to perform the
first write to every page in their region.
* "Writing to populated memory" / "Reading from populated memory": The
time it takes for all vCPUs to write and read to every page in their
region after it has been populated. This serves as a control for the
later results.
* "Mark memory idle": The time it takes for every vCPU to mark every
page in their region as idle through page_idle.
* "Writing to idle memory" / "Reading from idle memory": The time it
takes for all vCPUs to write and read to every page in their region
after it has been marked idle.
This test should be portable across architectures but it is only enabled
for x86_64 since that's all I have tested.
