A livepatch transition may stall indefinitely when a kvm vCPU is heavily
loaded. To the host, the vCPU task is a user thread which is spending a
very long time in the ioctl(KVM_RUN) syscall. During livepatch
transition, set_notify_signal() will be called on such tasks to
interrupt the syscall so that the task can be transitioned. This
interrupts guest execution, but when xfer_to_guest_mode_work() sees that
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set but not TIF_SIGPENDING it concludes that an
exit to user mode is unnecessary, and guest execution is resumed without
transitioning the task for the livepatch.
This handling of TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is incorrect, as set_notify_signal()
is expected to break tasks out of interruptible kernel loops and cause
them to return to userspace. Change xfer_to_guest_mode_work() to handle
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL the same as TIF_SIGPENDING, signaling to the vCPU run
loop that an exit to userpsace is needed. Any pending task_work will be
run when get_signal() is called from exit_to_user_mode_loop(), so there
is no longer any need to run task work from xfer_to_guest_mode_work().

Move set_notify_resume and tracehook_notify_resume into resume_user_mode.h.
While doing that rename tracehook_notify_resume to resume_user_mode_work.
Update all of the places that included tracehook.h for these functions to
include resume_user_mode.h instead.
Update all of the callers of tracehook_notify_resume to call
resume_user_mode_work.

There are a small handful of reasons besides pending signals that the
kernel might want to break out of interruptible sleeps. The flag
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and the helpers that set and clear TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL
provide that the infrastructure for breaking out of interruptible
sleeps and entering the return to user space slow path for those
cases.
Expand tracehook_notify_signal inline in it's callers and remove it,
which makes clear that TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work are separate
concepts.
Update the comment on set_notify_signal to more accurately describe
it's purpose.

Always handle TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL in get_signal. With commit 35d0b389f3
("task_work: unconditionally run task_work from get_signal()") always
calling task_work_run all of the work of tracehook_notify_signal is
already happening except clearing TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.
Factor clear_notify_signal out of tracehook_notify_signal and use it in
get_signal so that get_signal only needs one call of task_work_run.
To keep the semantics in sync update xfer_to_guest_mode_work (which
does not call get_signal) to call tracehook_notify_signal if either
_TIF_SIGPENDING or _TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is unlikely to cause a
problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will
legitimately warn that there is a data race.
To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.
Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

Add TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling in the generic entry code, which if set,
will return true if signal_pending() is used in a wait loop. That causes an
exit of the loop so that notify_signal tracehooks can be run. If the wait
loop is currently inside a system call, the system call is restarted once
task_work has been processed.
In preparation for only having arch_do_signal() handle syscall restarts if
_TIF_SIGPENDING isn't set, rename it to arch_do_signal_or_restart(). Pass
in a boolean that tells the architecture specific signal handler if it
should attempt to get a signal, or just process a potential syscall
restart.
For !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY archs, add the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling to
get_signal(). This is done to minimize the needed architecture changes to
support this feature.

Entering a guest is similar to exiting to user space. Pending work like
handling signals, rescheduling, task work etc. needs to be handled before
that.
Provide generic infrastructure to avoid duplication of the same handling
code all over the place.
The transfer to guest mode handling is different from the exit to usermode
handling, e.g. vs. rseq and live patching, so a separate function is used.
The initial list of work items handled is:
TIF_SIGPENDING, TIF_NEED_RESCHED, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
Architecture specific TIF flags can be added via defines in the
architecture specific include files.
The calling convention is also different from the syscall/interrupt entry
functions as KVM invokes this from the outer vcpu_run() loop with
interrupts and preemption enabled. To prevent missing a pending work item
it invokes a check for pending TIF work from interrupt disabled code right
before transitioning to guest mode. The lockdep, RCU and tracing state
handling is also done directly around the switch to and from guest mode.
