Using all TCG user properties in KVM is tricky. First because KVM
supports only a small subset of what TCG provides, so most of the
cpu->cfg flags do nothing for KVM.
Second, and more important, we don't have a way of telling if any given
value is an user input or not. For TCG this has a small impact since we
just validating everything and error out if needed. But for KVM it would
be good to know if a given value was set by the user or if it's a value
already provided by KVM. Otherwise we don't know how to handle failed
kvm_set_one_regs() when writing the configurations back.
These characteristics make it overly complicated to use the same user
facing flags for both KVM and TCG. A simpler approach is to create KVM
specific properties that have specialized logic, forking KVM and TCG use
cases for those cases only. Fully separating KVM/TCG properties is
unneeded at this point - in fact we want the user experience to be as
equal as possible, regardless of the acceleration chosen.
We'll start this fork with the MISA properties, adding the MISA bits
that the KVM driver currently supports. A new KVMCPUConfig type is
introduced. It'll hold general information about an extension. For MISA
extensions we're going to use the newly created getters of
misa_ext_infos[] to populate their name and description. 'offset' holds
the MISA bit (RVA, RVC, ...). We're calling it 'offset' instead of
'misa_bit' because this same KVMCPUConfig struct will be used to
multi-letter extensions later on.
This new type also holds a 'user_set' flag. This flag will be set when
the user set an option that's different than what is already configured
in the host, requiring KVM intervention to write the regs back during
kvm_arch_init_vcpu(). Similar mechanics will be implemented for
multi-letter extensions as well.
There is no need to duplicate more code than necessary, so we're going
to use the existing kvm_riscv_init_user_properties() to add the KVM
specific properties. Any code that is adding a TCG user prop is then
changed slightly to verify first if there's a KVM prop with the same
name already added.
