KVM PPC update for 5.7
* Add a capability for enabling secure guests under the Protected
Execution Framework ultravisor
* Various bug fixes and cleanups.
If a signal is pending we might return -ENOMEM instead of -EINTR.
We should propagate the proper error during KSM unsharing.
unmerge_ksm_pages returns -ERESTARTSYS on signal_pending. This gets
translated by entry.S to -EINTR. It is important to get this error
code so that userspace can retry.
To make this clearer we also add -EINTR to the documentation of the
PV_ENABLE call, which calls unmerge_ksm_pages.
Fixes: 3ac8e38015 ("s390/mm: disable KSM for storage key enabled pages")

At present, on Power systems with Protected Execution Facility
hardware and an ultravisor, a KVM guest can transition to being a
secure guest at will. Userspace (QEMU) has no way of knowing
whether a host system is capable of running secure guests. This
will present a problem in future when the ultravisor is capable of
migrating secure guests from one host to another, because
virtualization management software will have no way to ensure that
secure guests only run in domains where all of the hosts can
support secure guests.
This adds a VM capability which has two functions: (a) userspace
can query it to find out whether the host can support secure guests,
and (b) userspace can enable it for a guest, which allows that
guest to become a secure guest. If userspace does not enable it,
KVM will return an error when the ultravisor does the hypercall
that indicates that the guest is starting to transition to a
secure guest. The ultravisor will then abort the transition and
the guest will terminate.

KVM: s390: Features and Enhancements for 5.7 part1
1. Allow to disable gisa
2. protected virtual machines
Protected VMs (PVM) are KVM VMs, where KVM can't access the VM's
state like guest memory and guest registers anymore. Instead the
PVMs are mostly managed by a new entity called Ultravisor (UV),
which provides an API, so KVM and the PV can request management
actions.
PVMs are encrypted at rest and protected from hypervisor access
while running. They switch from a normal operation into protected
mode, so we can still use the standard boot process to load a
encrypted blob and then move it into protected mode.
Rebooting is only possible by passing through the unprotected/normal
mode and switching to protected again.
One mm related patch will go via Andrews mm tree ( mm/gup/writeback:
add callbacks for inaccessible pages)
Remove the code for handling stateful CPUID 0x2 and mark the associated
flags as deprecated. WARN if host CPUID 0x2.0.AL > 1, i.e. if by some
miracle a host with stateful CPUID 0x2 is encountered.
No known CPU exists that supports hardware accelerated virtualization
_and_ a stateful CPUID 0x2. Barring an extremely contrived nested
virtualization scenario, stateful CPUID support is dead code.

It could take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time when
enabling dirty log for the first time. The main cost is to clear
all the D-bits of last level SPTEs. This situation can benefit from
manual dirty log protect as well, which can reduce the mmu_lock
time taken. The sequence is like this:
1. Initialize all the bits of the dirty bitmap to 1 when enabling
dirty log for the first time
2. Only write protect the huge pages
3. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns the dirty bitmap info
4. KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG will clear D-bit for each of the leaf level
SPTEs gradually in small chunks
Under the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6152 CPU @ 2.10GHz environment,
I did some tests with a 128G windows VM and counted the time taken
of memory_global_dirty_log_start, here is the numbers:

A lot of the registers are controlled by the Ultravisor and never
visible to KVM. Some fields in the sie control block are overlayed, like
gbea. As no known userspace uses the ONE_REG interface on s390 if sync
regs are available, no functionality is lost if it is disabled for
protected guests.

convert api.txt document to ReST format while trying to keep
its format as close as possible with the authors intent, and
avoid adding uneeded markups.
- Use document title and chapter markups;
- Convert tables;
- Add markups for literal blocks;
- use :field: for field descriptions;
- Add blank lines and adjust indentation
