Debugging VM-Enter failures has been the bane of my existence for years.
Seeing KVM's VMCS dump format pop up on a console triggers a Pavlovian
response of swear words and sighs. As KVM's coverage of VM-Enter checks
improve, so too do the odds of being able to triage/debug a KVM (or any
other hypervisor) bug by running the bad KVM build as an L1 guest.
Improve support for using KVM to debug a buggy VMM by adding tracepoints
to capture the basic gist of a VM-Enter failure so that extracting said
information from KVM doesn't require attaching a debugger or modifying
L0 KVM to manually log failures.
The captured information is by no means complete or perfect, e.g. I'd
love to capture *exactly* why a consistency check failed, but logging
that level of detail would require invasive code changes and might even
act as a deterrent to adding more checks in KVM.
v3: Fix a minor snafu in the v2 rebase, and re-rebase to kvm/next
(a45ff5994c9c, "Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-5.3'...")
v2: Rebase to kvm/queue.

Debugging a failed VM-Enter is often like searching for a needle in a
haystack, e.g. there are over 80 consistency checks that funnel into
the "invalid control field" error code. One way to expedite debug is
to run the buggy code as an L1 guest under KVM (and pray that the
failing check is detected by KVM). However, extracting useful debug
information out of L0 KVM requires attaching a debugger to KVM and/or
modifying the source, e.g. to log which check is failing.
Make life a little less painful for VMM developers and add a tracepoint
for failed VM-Enter consistency checks. Ideally the tracepoint would
capture both what check failed and precisely why it failed, but logging
why a checked failed is difficult to do in a generic tracepoint without
resorting to invasive techniques, e.g. generating a custom string on
failure. That being said, for the vast majority of VM-Enter failures
the most difficult step is figuring out exactly what to look at, e.g.
figuring out which bit was incorrectly set in a control field is usually
not too painful once the guilty field as been identified.
To reach a happy medium between precision and ease of use, simply log
the code that detected a failed check, using a macro to execute the
check and log the trace event on failure. This approach enables tracing
arbitrary code, e.g. it's not limited to function calls or specific
formats of checks, and the changes to the existing code are minimally
invasive. A macro with a two-character name is desirable as usage of
the macro doesn't result in overly long lines or confusing alignment,
while still retaining some amount of readability. I.e. a one-character
name is a little too terse, and a three-character name results in the
contents being passed to the macro aligning with an indented line when
the macro is used an in if-statement, e.g.:
if (VCC(nested_vmx_check_long_line_one(...) &&
nested_vmx_check_long_line_two(...)))
return -EINVAL;
And that is the story of how the CC(), a.k.a. Consistency Check, macro
got its name.

Use the recently added tracepoint for logging nested VM-Enter failures
instead of spamming the kernel log when hardware detects a consistency
check failure. Take the opportunity to print the name of the error code
instead of dumping the raw hex number, but limit the symbol table to
error codes that can reasonably be encountered by KVM.
Add an equivalent tracepoint in nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw(), e.g. so
that tracing of "invalid control field" errors isn't suppressed when
nested early checks are enabled.
