This patchset provides a file descriptor for every VM and VCPU to read
KVM statistics data in binary format.
It is meant to provide a lightweight, flexible, scalable and efficient
lock-free solution for user space telemetry applications to pull the
statistics data periodically for large scale systems. The pulling
frequency could be as high as a few times per second.
In this patchset, every statistics data are treated to have some
attributes as below:
  * architecture dependent or generic
  * VM statistics data or VCPU statistics data
  * type: cumulative, instantaneous, peak
  * unit: none for simple counter, nanosecond, microsecond,
    millisecond, second, Byte, KiByte, MiByte, GiByte. Clock Cycles
Since no lock/synchronization is used, the consistency between all
the statistics data is not guaranteed. That means not all statistics
data are read out at the exact same time, since the statistics date
are still being updated by KVM subsystems while they are read out.

* v8 -> v9
  - Rebase to commit 8331a2bc0898
    (KVM: X86: Introduce KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE hypercall)
  - Reduce code duplication between binary and debugfs interface
  - Add field "offset" in stats descriptor to let us define stats
    descriptors in any order (not necessary in the order of stats
    defined in vm/vcpu stats structures)
  - Add static check to make sure the number of stats descriptors
    is the same as the number of stats defined in vm/vcpu stats
    structures
  - Fix missing/mismatched stats descriptor definition caused by
    rebase

* v7 -> v8
  - Rebase to kvm/queue, commit c1dc20e254b4 ("KVM: switch per-VM
  stats to u64")
  - Revise code to reflect the per-VM stats type from ulong to u64
  - Addressed some other nits

* v6 -> v7
  - Improve file descriptor allocation function by Krish suggestion
  - Use "generic stats" instead of "common stats" as Krish suggested
  - Addressed some other nits from Krish and David Matlack

* v5 -> v6
  - Use designated initializers for STATS_DESC
  - Change KVM_STATS_SCALE... to KVM_STATS_BASE...
  - Use a common function for kvm_[vm|vcpu]_stats_read
  - Fix some documentation errors/missings
  - Use TEST_ASSERT in selftest
  - Use a common function for [vm|vcpu]_stats_test in selftest

* v4 -> v5
  - Rebase to kvm/queue, commit a4345a7cecfb ("Merge tag
    'kvmarm-fixes-5.13-1'")
  - Change maximum stats name length to 48
  - Replace VM_STATS_COMMON/VCPU_STATS_COMMON macros with stats
    descriptor definition macros.
  - Fixed some errors/warnings reported by checkpatch.pl

* v3 -> v4
  - Rebase to kvm/queue, commit 9f242010c3b4 ("KVM: avoid "deadlock"
    between install_new_memslots and MMU notifier")
  - Use C-stype comments in the whole patch
  - Fix wrong count for x86 VCPU stats descriptors
  - Fix KVM stats data size counting and validity check in selftest

* v2 -> v3
  - Rebase to kvm/queue, commit edf408f5257b ("KVM: avoid "deadlock"
    between install_new_memslots and MMU notifier")
  - Resolve some nitpicks about format

* v1 -> v2
  - Use ARRAY_SIZE to count the number of stats descriptors
  - Fix missing `size` field initialization in macro STATS_DESC
