It appears that on Qualcomm's x1e CPU, CNTVOFF_EL2 doesn't really
work, specially with HCR_EL2.E2H=1.
A non-zero offset results in a screaming virtual timer interrupt,
to the tune of a few 100k interrupts per second on a 4 vcpu VM.
This is also evidenced by this CPU's inability to correctly run
any of the timer selftests.
The only case this doesn't break is when this register is set to 0,
which breaks VM migration.
When HCR_EL2.E2H=0, the timer seems to behave normally, and does
not result in an interrupt storm.
As a workaround, use the fact that this CPU implements FEAT_ECV,
and trap all accesses to the virtual timer and counter, keeping
CNTVOFF_EL2 set to zero, and emulate accesses to CVAL/TVAL/CTL
and the counter itself, fixing up the timer to account for the
missing offset.
And if you think this is disgusting, you'd probably be right.

Just like the rest of the timer code, we need to shift the enable
bits around when HCR_EL2.E2H is set, which is the case in hVHE mode.

CNTPOFF_EL2 is awesome, but it is mostly vapourware, and no publicly
available implementation has it. So for the common mortals, let's
implement the emulated version of this thing.
It means trapping accesses to the physical counter and timer, and
emulate some of it as necessary.
As for CNTPOFF_EL2, nobody sets the offset yet.

With nVHE code now fully separated from the rest of the kernel, the effects of
the __hyp_text macro (which had to be applied on all nVHE code) can be
achieved with build rules instead. The macro used to:
(a) move code to .hyp.text ELF section, now done by renaming .text using
`objcopy`, and
(b) `notrace` and `__noscs` would negate effects of CC_FLAGS_FTRACE and
CC_FLAGS_SCS, respectivelly, now those flags are erased from
KBUILD_CFLAGS (same way as in EFI stub).
Note that by removing __hyp_text from code shared with VHE, all VHE code is now
compiled into .text and without `notrace` and `__noscs`.
Use of '.pushsection .hyp.text' removed from assembly files as this is now also
covered by the build rules.
For MAINTAINERS: if needed to re-run, uses of macro were removed with the
following command. Formatting was fixed up manually.
find arch/arm64/kvm/hyp -type f -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i 's/ __hyp_text//g' {} +

timer-sr.c contains a HVC handler for setting CNTVOFF_EL2 and two helper
functions for controlling access to physical counter. The former is used by
both VHE/nVHE and is duplicated, the latter are used only by nVHE and moved
to nvhe/timer-sr.c.
