Subject: [RFC 49/55] KVM: arm64: Fixes to toggle_cache for nesting

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@...aro.org>

So far we were flushing almost the entire universe whenever a VM would
load/unload the SCTLR_EL1 and the two versions of that register had
different MMU enabled settings.  This turned out to be so slow that it
prevented forward progress for a nested VM, because a scheduler timer
tick interrupt would always be pending when we reached the nested VM.

To avoid this problem, we consider the SCTLR_EL2 when evaluating if
caches are on or off when entering virtual EL2 (because this is the
value that we end up shadowing onto the hardware EL1 register).

We also reduce the scope of the flush operation to only flush shadow
stage 2 page table state of the particular VCPU toggling the caches
instead of the shadow stage 2 state of all possible VCPUs.
