[PATCH v2] LoongArch: KVM: Fix timer emulation with oneshot mode

From: Bibo Mao
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 21:46:59 EST


When timer is fired with oneshot mode, CSR TVAL will be -1 rather than 0.
There needs special handing for this situation. There are two scenarios
when oneshot timer is fired. One scenario is that time is fired after
exiting to host, CSR TVAL is set with 0 in order to inject hw interrupt,
and -1 will assigned to CSR TVAL soon.

The other situation is that timer is fired in VM and guest kernel is
hanlding timer IRQ, IRQ is acked and is ready to set next expired timer
value, then vm exits to host. Timer interrupt should not be inject at
this point, else there will be spurious timer interrupt.

Here hw timer irq status in CSR ESTAT is used to judge these two
scenarios. If CSR TVAL is -1, the oneshot timer is fired; and if timer hw
irq is on in CSR ESTAT register, it happens after exiting to host; else
if timer hw irq is off, we think that it happens in vm and timer IRQ
handler has already acked IRQ.

With this patch, runltp with version ltp20230516 passes to run in vm.
And this patch is based on the patch series.

Changes in v2:

If vm is doing timer IRQ after timer is fired and then vm exits to host,
CSR LOONGARCH_CSR_TVAL is set with 0. HW will set CSR LOONGARCH_CSR_TVAL
with -1 and inject timer IRQ. KVM host clears timer IRQ then. With this
method value of CSR LOONGARCH_CSR_TVAL will be -1 unchanged. Previous
method will not inject timer IRQ, however LOONGARCH_CSR_TVAL will
conitnue to go down from -1.
