FEAT_TRF is a Coresight feature that allows trace capture to be
completely filtered at different exception levels, unlike the existing
TRCVICTLR controls which may still emit target addresses of branches,
even if the following trace is filtered.
Without FEAT_TRF, it was possible to start a trace session on a host and
also collect trace from the guest as TRCVICTLR was never programmed to
exclude guests (and it could still emit target addresses even if it
was).
With FEAT_TRF, the current behavior of trace in guests exists depends on
whether nVHE or VHE are being used. Both of the examples below are from
the host's point of view, as Coresight isn't accessible from guests.
This patchset is only relevant to when FEAT_TRF exists, otherwise there
is no change.
Current behavior:
nVHE/pKVM:
Because the host and the guest are both using TRFCR_EL1, trace will be
generated in guests depending on the same filter rules the host is
using. For example if the host is tracing userspace only, then guest
userspace trace will also be collected.
(This is further limited by whether TRBE is used because an issue
with TRBE means that it's completely disabled in nVHE guests, but it's
possible to have other tracing components.)
VHE:
With VHE, the host filters will be in TRFCR_EL2, but the filters in
TRFCR_EL1 will be active when the guest is running. Because we don't
write to TRFCR_EL1, guest trace will be completely disabled.
New behavior:
The guest filtering rules from the Perf session are now honored for both
nVHE and VHE modes. This is done by either writing to TRFCR_EL12 at the
start of the Perf session and doing nothing else further, or caching the
guest value and writing it at guest switch for nVHE. In pKVM, trace is
now be disabled for both protected and unprotected guests.
There is also an optimization where the SPE and Coresight drivers pass
their enabled state to KVM. This means in the common case KVM doesn't
have to touch any sysregs when the feature isn't in use.

---
Changes since V6 [5]:
* Implement a better "do nothing" case where both the SPE and Coresight
drivers give the enabled state to KVM, allowing some register
reads to be dropped.
* Move the state and feature flags out of the vCPU into the per-CPU
host_debug_state.
* Simplify the switch logic by adding a new flag HOST_STATE_SWAP_TRFCR
and only storing a single TRFCR value.
* Rename vcpu flag macros to a more generic kvm_flag...
Changes since V5 [4]:
* Sort new sysreg entries by encoding
* Add a comment about sorting arch/arm64/tools/sysreg
* Warn on preemptible() before calling smp_processor_id()
* Pickup tags
* Change TRFCR_EL2 from SysregFields to Sysreg because it was only
used once
Changes since V4 [3]:
* Remove all V3 changes that made it work in pKVM and just disable
trace there instead
* Restore PMU host/hyp state sharing back to how it was
(kvm_pmu_update_vcpu_events())
* Simplify some of the duplication in the comments and function docs
* Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() if kvm_etm_set_guest_trfcr() is called when
the trace filtering feature doesn't exist.
* Split sysreg change into a tools update followed by the new register
addition
Changes since V3:
* Create a new shared area to store the host state instead of copying
it before each VCPU run
* Drop commit that moved SPE and trace registers from host_debug_state
into the kvm sysregs array because the guest values were never used
* Document kvm_etm_set_guest_trfcr()
* Guard kvm_etm_set_guest_trfcr() with a feature check
* Drop Mark B and Suzuki's review tags on the sysreg patch because it
turned out that broke the Perf build and needed some unconventional
changes to fix it (as in: to update the tools copy of the headers in
the same commit as the kernel changes)
Changes since V2:
* Add a new iflag to signify presence of FEAT_TRF and keep the
existing TRBE iflag. This fixes the issue where TRBLIMITR_EL1 was
being accessed even if TRBE didn't exist
* Reword a commit message
Changes since V1:
* Squashed all the arm64/tools/sysreg changes into the first commit
* Add a new commit to move SPE and TRBE regs into the kvm sysreg array
* Add a comment above the TRFCR global that it's per host CPU rather
than vcpu
Changes since nVHE RFC [1]:
* Re-write just in terms of the register value to be written for the
host and the guest. This removes some logic from the hyp code and
a value of kvm_vcpu_arch:trfcr_el1 = 0 no longer means "don't
restore".
* Remove all the conditional compilation and new files.
* Change the kvm_etm_update_vcpu_events macro to a function.
* Re-use DEBUG_STATE_SAVE_TRFCR so iflags don't need to be expanded
anymore.
* Expand the cover letter.
Changes since VHE v3 [2]:
* Use the same interface as nVHE mode so TRFCR_EL12 is now written by
kvm.
