Move some helper functions from dirty_log_perf_test.c to the memstress
library so that they can be used in a future commit which tests page
splitting during dirty logging.

Access the same memory addresses on each iteration of the memstress
guest code. This ensures that the state of KVM's page tables
is the same after every iteration, including the pages that host the
guest page tables for args and vcpu_args.
This difference is visible when running the proposed
dirty_log_page_splitting_test[*] on AMD, or on Intel with pml=0 and
eptad=0. The tests fail due to different semantics of dirty bits for
page-table pages on AMD (and eptad=0) and Intel. Both AMD and Intel with
eptad=0 treat page-table accesses as writes, therefore more pages are
dropped before the repopulation phase when dirty logging is disabled.
The "missing" page had been included in the population phase because it
hosts the page tables for vcpu_args, but repopulation does not need it."

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
KVM/arm64 updates for 6.2
- Enable the per-vcpu dirty-ring tracking mechanism, together with an
option to keep the good old dirty log around for pages that are
dirtied by something other than a vcpu.
- Switch to the relaxed parallel fault handling, using RCU to delay
page table reclaim and giving better performance under load.
- Relax the MTE ABI, allowing a VMM to use the MAP_SHARED mapping
option, which multi-process VMMs such as crosvm rely on.
- Merge the pKVM shadow vcpu state tracking that allows the hypervisor
to have its own view of a vcpu, keeping that state private.
- Add support for the PMUv3p5 architecture revision, bringing support
for 64bit counters on systems that support it, and fix the
no-quite-compliant CHAIN-ed counter support for the machines that
actually exist out there.
- Fix a handful of minor issues around 52bit VA/PA support (64kB pages
only) as a prefix of the oncoming support for 4kB and 16kB pages.
- Add/Enable/Fix a bunch of selftests covering memslots, breakpoints,
stage-2 faults and access tracking. You name it, we got it, we
probably broke it.
- Pick a small set of documentation and spelling fixes, because no
good merge window would be complete without those.
As a side effect, this tag also drags:
- The 'kvmarm-fixes-6.1-3' tag as a dependency to the dirty-ring
series
- A shared branch with the arm64 tree that repaints all the system
registers to match the ARM ARM's naming, and resulting in
interesting conflicts

Drop ucall_uninit() and ucall_arch_uninit() now that ARM doesn't modify
the host's copy of ucall_exit_mmio_addr, i.e. now that there's no need to
reset the pointer before potentially creating a new VM. The few calls to
ucall_uninit() are all immediately followed by kvm_vm_free(), and that is
likely always going to hold true, i.e. it's extremely unlikely a test
will want to effectively disable ucall in the middle of a test.

Do init_ucall() automatically during VM creation to kill two (three?)
birds with one stone.
First, initializing ucall immediately after VM creations allows forcing
aarch64's MMIO ucall address to immediately follow memslot0. This is
still somewhat fragile as tests could clobber the MMIO address with a
new memslot, but it's safe-ish since tests have to be conversative when
accounting for memslot0. And this can be hardened in the future by
creating a read-only memslot for the MMIO page (KVM ARM exits with MMIO
if the guest writes to a read-only memslot). Add a TODO to document that
selftests can and should use a memslot for the ucall MMIO (doing so
requires yet more rework because tests assumes thay can use all memslots
except memslot0).
Second, initializing ucall for all VMs prepares for making ucall
initialization meaningful on all architectures. aarch64 is currently the
only arch that needs to do any setup, but that will change in the future
by switching to a pool-based implementation (instead of the current
stack-based approach).
Lastly, defining the ucall MMIO address from common code will simplify
switching all architectures (except s390) to a common MMIO-based ucall
implementation (if there's ever sufficient motivation to do so).

Replace the perf_test_ prefix on symbol names with memstress_ to match
the new file name.
"memstress" better describes the functionality proveded by this library,
which is to provide functionality for creating and running a VM that
stresses VM memory by reading and writing to guest memory on all vCPUs
in parallel.
"memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test",
making it a drop-in replacement in symbols, e.g. function names, without
impacting line lengths. Also the lack of underscore between "mem" and
"stress" makes it clear "memstress" is a noun.

Rename the local variables "pta" (which is short for perf_test_args) for
args. "pta" is not an obvious acronym and using "args" mirrors
"vcpu_args".

Rename the perf_test_util.[ch] files to memstress.[ch]. Symbols are
renamed in the following commit to reduce the amount of churn here in
hopes of playiing nice with git's file rename detection.
The name "memstress" was chosen to better describe the functionality
proveded by this library, which is to create and run a VM that
reads/writes to guest memory on all vCPUs in parallel.
"memstress" also contains the same number of chracters as "perf_test",
