[PATCH 00/26] KVM: vfio: Hide KVM internals from others

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

This is a borderline RFC series to hide KVM's internals from the rest of
the kernel, where "internals" means data structures, enums, #defines,
APIs, etc. that are intended to be KVM-only, but are exposed everywhere
due to kvm_host.h (and other headers) living in the global include paths.

The motiviation for hiding KVM's internals is to allow *safely* loading a
"new" KVM module without having to reboot the host.  Where "new" doesn't
have to be strictly newer, just a different incarnation of KVM.  Hiding
KVM's internals means those assets can change across KVM instances without
breaking things, e.g. would allow modifying the layout of struct kvm_vcpu
to introduce new fields related to a new feature or mitigation for hardware
bugs.

The end goal for all of this is to allow loading and running multiple
instances of KVM (the module) simultaneously on a single host, e.g. to
deploy fixes, mitigations, and/or new features without having to drain
all VMs from the host.

For now, the immediate goal is to get KVM to a state where KVM x86 doesn't
expose anything to the broader world that isn't intended for external
consumption, e.g. the page write-tracking APIs used by KVM-GT.

I say this is borderline RFC because I don't think I've "formally" proposed
the idea of hiding KVM internals before now.  I decided not to tag this RFC
because the changes ended up being not _that_ invasive, and everything
before the last six patches is worthwhile even if hiding internals is
ultimately rejected (IMO).

This would ideally be ~5 separate series, and I certainly have no objection
if that's how we want to get this stuff merged.  E.g. (1) VFIO cleanups,
(2) drop HAVE_KVM, (3) clean up makefiles, (4) x86 perf cleanup, and
(5) final push for hiding state.  The HAVE_KVM and virt/kvm include stuff
isn't strictly necessary, but I included them here because they're
relatively minor (in the grand scheme).

We've explore several alternatives to the #ifdef __KVM__ approach, and
they all sucked, hard.  What I really wanted (and still want) to do, is to
bury the bulk of kvm_host.h (and other KVM headers) in virt/kvm, but every
attempt to do that ended in flames.  Even with the __KVM__ guards in place,
each architecture's kvm_host.h is too intertwined with the common kvm_host.h,
and trying to extract small-ish pieces just doesn't work (each patch
inevitably snowballed into a gigantic beast).

The other idea we considered (which I thought of, and feel dirty for even
proposing it internally), is to move all headers under virt/kvm, add
virt/kvm/include to the global header path, and then have KVM x86 omit
virt/kvm/include when configured to hide KVM internals.  I hate this idea
because it sets a bad precedent, and requires a lot of file movement
without providing any benefit to other architectures.  E.g. I hope that
guarding KVM internals with #ifdef __KVM__ will allow us to slowly clean
things up so that some day KVM only exposes a handful of APIs to the rest
of the kernel (probably a pipe dream).
