KVM selftests changes for 6.20

 - Add a regression test for TPR&lt;=&gt;CR8 synchronization and IRQ masking.

 - Overhaul selftest's MMU infrastructure to genericize stage-2 MMU support,
   and extend x86's infrastructure to support EPT and NPT (for L2 guests).

 - Extend several nested VMX tests to also cover nested SVM.

 - Add a selftest for nested VMLOAD/VMSAVE.

 - Rework the nested dirty log test, originally added as a regression test for
   PML where KVM logged L2 GPAs instead of L1 GPAs, to improve test coverage
   and to hopefully make the test easier to understand and maintain.

<title>KVM: selftests: Move page_align() to shared header</title>

<id>urn:sha1:de00d07321cf3f182762de2308c08062d5b824c0</id>
<content type='text'>
To avoid code duplication, move page_align() to the shared `kvm_util.h`
header file. Rename it to vm_page_align(), to make it clear that the
alignment is done with respect to the guest's base page size.

No functional change intended.

<id>urn:sha1:dd0c5d04d13cae8ff2694ef83d1ae5804d6d9798</id>
<content type='text'>
The implementation of `page_align()` in `processor.c` calculates
alignment incorrectly for values that are already aligned. Specifically,
`(v + vm-&gt;page_size) &amp; ~(vm-&gt;page_size - 1)` aligns to the *next* page
boundary even if `v` is already page-aligned, potentially wasting a page
of memory.

Fix the calculation to use standard alignment logic: `(v + vm-&gt;page_size
- 1) &amp; ~(vm-&gt;page_size - 1)`.

<title>KVM: arm64: selftests: Disable unused TTBR1_EL1 translations</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=7e03d07d03a486c66d5c084c7185b1bef29049e9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7e03d07d03a486c66d5c084c7185b1bef29049e9</id>
<content type='text'>
KVM selftests map all guest code and data into the lower virtual address
range (0x0000...) managed by TTBR0_EL1. The upper range (0xFFFF...)
managed by TTBR1_EL1 is unused and uninitialized.

If a guest accesses the upper range, the MMU attempts a translation
table walk using uninitialized registers, leading to unpredictable
behavior.

Set `TCR_EL1.EPD1` to disable translation table walks for TTBR1_EL1,
ensuring that any access to the upper range generates an immediate
Translation Fault. Additionally, set `TCR_EL1.TBI1` (Top Byte Ignore) to
ensure that tagged pointers in the upper range also deterministically
trigger a Translation Fault via EPD1.

Define `TCR_EPD1_MASK`, `TCR_EPD1_SHIFT`, and `TCR_TBI1` in
`processor.h` to support this configuration. These are based on their
definitions in `arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-hwdef.h`.

<title>KVM: selftests: Add "struct kvm_mmu" to track a given MMU instance</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9f073ac25b4c4cf3b3ea13b155035108c54148bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a "struct kvm_mmu" to track a given MMU instance, e.g. a VM's stage-1
MMU versus a VM's stage-2 MMU, so that x86 can share MMU functionality for
both stage-1 and stage-2 MMUs, without creating the potential for subtle
bugs, e.g. due to consuming on vm-&gt;pgtable_levels when operating a stage-2
MMU.

Encapsulate the existing de facto MMU in "struct kvm_vm", e.g instead of
burying the MMU details in "struct kvm_vm_arch", to avoid more #ifdefs in
____vm_create(), and in the hopes that other architectures can utilize the
formalized MMU structure if/when they too support stage-2 page tables.

No functional change intended.

<title>KVM: selftests: Fix irqfd_test for non-x86 architectures</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a133052666bed0dc0b169952e9d3f9e6b2125f9a</id>
<content type='text'>
The KVM_IRQFD ioctl fails if no irqchip is present in-kernel, which
isn't too surprising as there's not much KVM can do for an IRQ if it
cannot resolve a destination.

As written the irqfd_test assumes that a 'default' VM created in
selftests has an in-kernel irqchip created implicitly. That may be the
case on x86 but it isn't necessarily true on other architectures.

Add an arch predicate indicating if 'default' VMs get an irqchip and
make the irqfd_test depend on it. Work around arm64 VGIC initialization
requirements by using vm_create_with_one_vcpu(), ignoring the created
vCPU as it isn't used for the test.

Take advantage of VHE to implicitly promote KVM selftests to run at EL2
with only slight modification. Update the smccc_filter test to account
for this now that the EL2-ness of a VM is visible to tests.
