kvm: x86: hyperv: guest->host event signaling via eventfd

Browse Source 
In Hyper-V, the fast guest->host notification mechanism is the
SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall, with a single parameter of the connection ID to
signal.

Currently this hypercall incurs a user exit and requires the userspace
to decode the parameters and trigger the notification of the potentially
different I/O context.

To avoid the costly user exit, process this hypercall and signal the
corresponding eventfd in KVM, similar to ioeventfd.  The association
between the connection id and the eventfd is established via the newly
introduced KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD ioctl, and maintained in an
(srcu-protected) IDR.

This ioctl can be used to unregister the guest memory region registered
with KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION ioctl above.
4.113 KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD
Capability: KVM_CAP_HYPERV_EVENTFD
Architectures: x86
Type: vm ioctl
Parameters: struct kvm_hyperv_eventfd (in)
This ioctl (un)registers an eventfd to receive notifications from the guest on
the specified Hyper-V connection id through the SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall, without
causing a user exit. SIGNAL_EVENT hypercall with non-zero event flag number
(bits 24-31) still triggers a KVM_EXIT_HYPERV_HCALL user exit.
struct kvm_hyperv_eventfd {
__u32 conn_id;
__s32 fd;
__u32 flags;
__u32 padding[3];
};
The conn_id field should fit within 24 bits:
#define KVM_HYPERV_CONN_ID_MASK 0x00ffffff
The acceptable values for the flags field are:
#define KVM_HYPERV_EVENTFD_DEASSIGN (1 << 0)
Returns: 0 on success,
-EINVAL if conn_id or flags is outside the allowed range
-ENOENT on deassign if the conn_id isn't registered
-EEXIST on assign if the conn_id is already registered
