KVM: selftests: Add option to rseq test to override /dev/cpu_dma_latency

Add a "-l <latency>" param to the rseq test so that the user can override
/dev/cpu_dma_latency, as described by the test's suggested workaround for
not being able to complete enough migrations.

cpu_dma_latency is not a normal file, even as far as procfs files go.
Writes to cpu_dma_latency only persist so long as the file is open, e.g.
so that the kernel automatically reverts back to a power-optimized state
once the sensitive workload completes. Provide the necessary functionality
instead of effectively forcing the user to write a non-obvious wrapper.

KVM: selftests: Allow skipping the KVM_RUN sanity check in rseq_test

The rseq test's migration worker delays 1-10 us, assuming that one KVM_RUN
iteration only takes a few microseconds. But if the CPU low power wakeup
latency is large enough, for example, hundreds or even thousands of
microseconds for deep C-state exit latencies on x86 server CPUs, it may
happen that the target CPU is unable to wakeup and run the vCPU before the
migration worker starts to migrate the vCPU thread to the _next_ CPU.

If the system workload is light, most CPUs could be at a certain low
power state, which may result in less successful migrations and fail the
migration/KVM_RUN ratio sanity check. But this is not supposed to be
deemed a test failure.

Add a command line option to skip the sanity check, along with a comment
and a verbose assert message to try to help the user resolve the potential
source of failures without having to resort to disabling the check.

Revert "kvm: selftests: move base kvm_util.h declarations to kvm_util_base.h"

Effectively revert the movement of code from kvm_util.h => kvm_util_base.h,
as the TL;DR of the justification for the move was to avoid #idefs and/or
circular dependencies between what ended up being ucall_common.h and what
was (and now again, is), kvm_util.h.

But avoiding #ifdef and circular includes is trivial: don't do that. The
cost of removing kvm_util_base.h is a few extra includes of ucall_common.h,
but that cost is practically nothing. On the other hand, having a "base"
version of a header that is really just the header itself is confusing,
and makes it weird/hard to choose names for headers that actually are
"base" headers, e.g. to hold core KVM selftests typedefs.

For all intents and purposes, this reverts commit
7d9a662ed9f0403e7b94940dceb81552b8edb931.

KVM: selftests: Define _GNU_SOURCE for all selftests code

Define _GNU_SOURCE is the base CFLAGS instead of relying on selftests to
manually #define _GNU_SOURCE, which is repetitive and error prone. E.g.
kselftest_harness.h requires _GNU_SOURCE for asprintf(), but if a selftest
includes kvm_test_harness.h after stdio.h, the include guards result in
the effective version of stdio.h consumed by kvm_test_harness.h not
defining asprintf():

Consolidate common startup logic in one place by implementing a single
setup function with __attribute((constructor)) for all selftests within

This allows moving logic like:
/* Tell stdout not to buffer its content */
setbuf(stdout, NULL);
to a single file for all selftests.

This will also allow any required setup at entry in future to be done in
common main function.

KVM: selftests: Automatically do init_ucall() for non-barebones VMs

Do init_ucall() automatically during VM creation to kill two (three?)
birds with one stone.

First, initializing ucall immediately after VM creations allows forcing
aarch64's MMIO ucall address to immediately follow memslot0. This is
still somewhat fragile as tests could clobber the MMIO address with a
new memslot, but it's safe-ish since tests have to be conversative when
accounting for memslot0. And this can be hardened in the future by
creating a read-only memslot for the MMIO page (KVM ARM exits with MMIO
if the guest writes to a read-only memslot). Add a TODO to document that
selftests can and should use a memslot for the ucall MMIO (doing so
requires yet more rework because tests assumes thay can use all memslots
except memslot0).

Second, initializing ucall for all VMs prepares for making ucall
initialization meaningful on all architectures. aarch64 is currently the
only arch that needs to do any setup, but that will change in the future
by switching to a pool-based implementation (instead of the current
stack-based approach).

Lastly, defining the ucall MMIO address from common code will simplify
switching all architectures (except s390) to a common MMIO-based ucall
implementation (if there's ever sufficient motivation to do so).

sched_getcpu() is glibc dependent and it can simply return the CPU

In this case, it's pointless to compare the return value from

suggested. The comments are modified accordingly by replacing

In rseq_test, there are two threads, which are vCPU thread and migration
worker separately. Unfortunately, the test has the wrong PID passed to
sched_setaffinity() in the migration worker. It forces migration on the
migration worker because zeroed PID represents the calling thread, which
is the migration worker itself. It means the vCPU thread is never enforced
to migration and it can migrate at any time, which eventually leads to
failure as the following logs show.

Convert usage that erroneously uses something other than print_skip()

Intentionally drop a kvm_vm_free() in aarch64/debug-exceptions.c as part
of the conversion. All memory and file descriptors are freed on process
exit, so the explicit free is superfluous.

KVM: selftests: Ensure all migrations are performed when test is affined

Rework the CPU selection in the migration worker to ensure the specified
number of migrations are performed when the test iteslf is affined to a
subset of CPUs. The existing logic skips iterations if the target CPU is
not in the original set of possible CPUs, which causes the test to fail
if too many iterations are skipped.

Only performed 4 KVM_RUNs, task stalled too much?

Calculate the min/max possible CPUs as a cheap "best effort" to avoid
high runtimes when the test is affined to a small percentage of CPUs.
Alternatively, a list or xarray of the possible CPUs could be used, but
even in a horrendously inefficient setup, such optimizations are not
needed because the runtime is completely dominated by the cost of
migrating the task, and the absolute runtime is well under a minute in
even truly absurd setups, e.g. running on a subset of vCPUs in a VM that
is heavily overcommited (16 vCPUs per pCPU).

While x86 does not require any additional setup to use the ucall

KVM: selftests: Add a test for KVM_RUN+rseq to detect task migration bugs

Add a test to verify an rseq's CPU ID is updated correctly if the task is
migrated while the kernel is handling KVM_RUN. This is a regression test
for a bug introduced by commit 72c3c0fe54a3 ("x86/kvm: Use generic xfer
to guest work function"), where TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME would be cleared by KVM
without updating rseq, leading to a stale CPU ID and other badness.
