[PATCH v3 0/2] KVM: arm64: Debug fixes

[Alexandru Elisei <alexandru.elisei@arm.com>]

v2 can be found at [1]. Patch #1 in this series is new.

Tested on an odroid-c4 with VHE. vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2 is calculated to be
0x84e66. Without this patch, reading MDCR_EL2 after the first vcpu_load() in
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() returns 0, subsequent reads return 0xe66
(FEAT_TFF and FEAT_SPE are not implemented by the PE). With this patch, all
reads, including the first time the VCPU is run, return 0xe66.

Also tested on the odroid-c4 board with a host compiled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y by running 2 VMs in parallel, saw no errors in
dmesg.

Changes in v3:

* Patch #1 ("Documentation: KVM: Document KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW control flag
  for arm64") is new.
* Rebased on top of v5.12-rc6.
* kvm_arm_setup_mdcr_el2() uses __this_cpu_read() to read the host's
  MDCR_EL2 value and kvm_arm_vcpu_init_debug() calls it with preemption
  disabled.
* Rewrote the condition for setting MDCR_EL2.TDA with the intention to make
  it clearer (to be decided if that's indeed the case).

Changes in v2:

* Moved kvm_arm_vcpu_init_debug() earlier in kvm_vcpu_first_run_init() so
  vcpu->arch.mdcr_el2 is calculated even if kvm_vgic_map_resources() fails.
* Added comment to kvm_arm_setup_mdcr_el2 to explain what testing
  vcpu->guest_debug means.

v1 can be found at [2].
