For consistency and clarity, migrate x86 over to the generic helpers for
guest timing and lockdep/RCU/tracing management, and remove the
x86-specific helpers.
Prior to this patch, the guest timing was entered in
kvm_guest_enter_irqoff() (called by svm_vcpu_enter_exit() and
svm_vcpu_enter_exit()), and was exited by the call to
vtime_account_guest_exit() within vcpu_enter_guest().
To minimize duplication and to more clearly balance entry and exit, both
entry and exit of guest timing are placed in vcpu_enter_guest(), using
the new guest_timing_{enter,exit}_irqoff() helpers. When context
tracking is used a small amount of additional time will be accounted
towards guests; tick-based accounting is unnaffected as IRQs are
disabled at this point and not enabled until after the return from the
guest.
This also corrects (benign) mis-balanced context tracking accounting
introduced in commits:
ae95f566b3 ("KVM: X86: TSCDEADLINE MSR emulation fastpath")
26efe2fd92 ("KVM: VMX: Handle preemption timer fastpath")
Where KVM can enter a guest multiple times, calling vtime_guest_enter()
without a corresponding call to vtime_account_guest_exit(), and with
vtime_account_system() called when vtime_account_guest() should be used.
As account_system_time() checks PF_VCPU and calls account_guest_time(),
this doesn't result in any functional problem, but is unnecessarily
confusing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
