KVM: arm64: Expose PMMIR_EL1.SLOTS under strict PMUv3 UAPI
Introduce a new field pmmir_slots in struct kvm_arch to store
PMMIR_EL1.SLOTS. It only saves the actual hardware PMU value when
the VMM explicitly selects a PMU under KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_STRICT.
Otherwise, it stays 0 after allocation.
Use this field to implement guest access, userspace get, and userspace
set for PMMIR_EL1:
- access_pmmir(): uses the value in kvm->arch.pmmir_slots directly. If
the VMM selected a PMU and KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_STRICT is set, the guest
can correctly read the underlying core's SLOTS. Otherwise, it continues
to read 0 since the true SLOTS value can be nondeterministic.
- get_pmmir(): same as access_pmmir().
- set_pmmir(): only the SLOTS field is writable; a value setting any
other bit is rejected with -EINVAL, since get_pmmir() returns SLOTS
zero-extended. A value of 0 resets kvm->arch.pmmir_slots to 0 for
backward compatibility, as the register is RAZ in older KVM, a value
matching the current SLOTS is accepted as a no-op, and anything else is
rejected with -EINVAL. Once the VM has run PMMIR_EL1 is immutable, so a
mismatching write then returns -EBUSY.
The register is now exposed via KVM_GET_REG_LIST for PMUv3 vCPUs, so add
it to the get-reg-list selftest's PMU register list.
