When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in
single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of
the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one
active hardware thread. This is because of the hardware restriction
in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core
must be in the same logical partition. Complying with this restriction
is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one
hardware thread is active.
This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to
make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than
thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists. The KVM
code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the
secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be
sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

The PAPR paravirtualization interface lets guests register three
different types of per-vCPU buffer areas in its memory for communication
with the hypervisor. These are called virtual processor areas (VPAs).
Currently the hypercalls to register and unregister VPAs are handled
by KVM in the kernel, and userspace has no way to know about or save
and restore these registrations across a migration.
This adds "register" codes for these three areas that userspace can
use with the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG ioctls to see what addresses have
been registered, and to register or unregister them. This will be
needed for guest hibernation and migration, and is also needed so
that userspace can unregister them on reset (otherwise we corrupt
guest memory after reboot by writing to the VPAs registered by the
previous kernel).
The "register" for the VPA is a 64-bit value containing the address,
since the length of the VPA is fixed. The "registers" for the SLB
shadow buffer and dispatch trace log (DTL) are 128 bits long,
consisting of the guest physical address in the high (first) 64 bits
and the length in the low 64 bits.
This also fixes a bug where we were calling init_vpa unconditionally,
leading to an oops when unregistering the VPA.

This enables userspace to get and set all the guest floating-point
state using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. The floating-point state
includes all of the traditional floating-point registers and the
FPSCR (floating point status/control register), all the VMX/Altivec
vector registers and the VSCR (vector status/control register), and
on POWER7, the vector-scalar registers (note that each FP register
is the high-order half of the corresponding VSR).
Most of these are implemented in common Book 3S code, except for VSX
on POWER7. Because HV and PR differ in how they store the FP and VSX
registers on POWER7, the code for these cases is not common. On POWER7,
the FP registers are the upper halves of the VSX registers vsr0 - vsr31.
PR KVM stores vsr0 - vsr31 in two halves, with the upper halves in the
arch.fpr[] array and the lower halves in the arch.vsr[] array, whereas
HV KVM on POWER7 stores the whole VSX register in arch.vsr[].

This enables userspace to get and set various SPRs (special-purpose
registers) using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. With this, userspace
can get and set all the SPRs that are part of the guest state, either
through the KVM_[GS]ET_REGS ioctls, the KVM_[GS]ET_SREGS ioctls, or
the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls.
The SPRs that are added here are:
- DABR: Data address breakpoint register
- DSCR: Data stream control register
- PURR: Processor utilization of resources register
- SPURR: Scaled PURR
- DAR: Data address register
- DSISR: Data storage interrupt status register
- AMR: Authority mask register
- UAMOR: User authority mask override register
- MMCR0, MMCR1, MMCRA: Performance monitor unit control registers
- PMC1..PMC8: Performance monitor unit counter registers
In order to reduce code duplication between PR and HV KVM code, this
moves the kvm_vcpu_ioctl_[gs]et_one_reg functions into book3s.c and
centralizes the copying between user and kernel space there. The
registers that are handled differently between PR and HV, and those
that exist only in one flavor, are handled in kvmppc_[gs]et_one_reg()
functions that are specific to each flavor.

This adds an implementation of kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot for
Book3S HV, and arranges for kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region to
flush the dirty log when modifying an existing slot. With this,
we can handle deletion and modification of memory slots.
kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot calls kvmppc_core_flush_memslot, which
on Book3S HV now traverses the reverse map chains to remove any HPT
(hashed page table) entries referring to pages in the memslot. This
gets called by generic code whenever deleting a memslot or changing
the guest physical address for a memslot.
We flush the dirty log in kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region for
consistency with what x86 does. We only need to flush when an
existing memslot is being modified, because for a new memslot the
rmap array (which stores the dirty bits) is all zero, meaning that
every page is considered clean already, and when deleting a memslot
we obviously don't care about the dirty bits any more.

Now that we have an architecture-specific field in the kvm_memory_slot
structure, we can use it to store the array of page physical addresses
that we need for Book3S HV KVM on PPC970 processors. This reduces the
size of struct kvm_arch for Book3S HV, and also reduces the size of
struct kvm_arch_memory_slot for other PPC KVM variants since the fields
in it are now only compiled in for Book3S HV.
This necessitates making the kvm_arch_create_memslot and
kvm_arch_free_memslot operations specific to each PPC KVM variant.
That in turn means that we now don't allocate the rmap arrays on
Book3S PR and Book E.
Since we now unpin pages and free the slot_phys array in
kvmppc_core_free_memslot, we no longer need to do it in
kvmppc_core_destroy_vm, since the generic code takes care to free
all the memslots when destroying a VM.
We now need the new memslot to be passed in to
kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region, since we need to initialize its
arch.slot_phys member on Book3S HV.

The generic KVM code uses SRCU (sleeping RCU) to protect accesses
to the memslots data structures against updates due to userspace
adding, modifying or removing memory slots. We need to do that too,
both to avoid accessing stale copies of the memslots and to avoid
lockdep warnings. This therefore adds srcu_read_lock/unlock pairs
around code that accesses and uses memslots.
Since the real-mode handlers for H_ENTER, H_REMOVE and H_BULK_REMOVE
need to access the memslots, and we don't want to call the SRCU code
in real mode (since we have no assurance that it would only access
the linear mapping), we hold the SRCU read lock for the VM while
in the guest. This does mean that adding or removing memory slots
while some vcpus are executing in the guest will block for up to
two jiffies. This tradeoff is acceptable since adding/removing
memory slots only happens rarely, while H_ENTER/H_REMOVE/H_BULK_REMOVE
are performance-critical hot paths.

At the moment we call kvmppc_pin_guest_page() in kvmppc_update_vpa()
with two spinlocks held: the vcore lock and the vcpu->vpa_update_lock.
This is not good, since kvmppc_pin_guest_page() calls down_read() and
get_user_pages_fast(), both of which can sleep. This bug was introduced
in 2e25aa5f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make virtual processor area
registration more robust").
This arranges to drop those spinlocks before calling
kvmppc_pin_guest_page() and re-take them afterwards. Dropping the
vcore lock in kvmppc_run_core() means we have to set the vcore_state
field to VCORE_RUNNING before we drop the lock, so that other vcpus
won't try to run this vcore.

This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest
hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest.
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter
a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2
of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the
actual order of the HPT which was allocated.
There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce
this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in
kvm->arch.vcpus_running.
If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't
reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the
kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold
the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until
we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done
will re-establish the VRMA if necessary.
If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the
kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then
rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that
userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants.
When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page
allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for
a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate
using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the
preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing
sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed
(256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to
1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to
16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

The H_REGISTER_VPA hcall implementation in HV Power KVM needs to pin some
guest memory pages into host memory so that they can be safely accessed
from usermode. It does this used get_user_pages_fast(). When the VPA is
unregistered, or the VCPUs are cleaned up, these pages are released using
put_page().
However, the get_user_pages() is invoked on the specific memory are of the
VPA which could lie within hugepages. In case the pinned page is huge,
we explicitly find the head page of the compound page before calling
put_page() on it.
At least with the latest kernel, this is not correct. put_page() already
handles finding the correct head page of a compound, and also deals with
various counts on the individual tail page which are important for
transparent huge pages. We don't support transparent hugepages on Power,
but even so, bypassing this count maintenance can lead (when the VM ends)
to a hugepage being released back to the pool with a non-zero mapcount on
one of the tail pages. This can then lead to a bad_page() when the page
is released from the hugepage pool.
This removes the explicit compound_head() call to correct this bug.

When reading and writing SPRs, every SPR emulation piece had to read
or write the respective GPR the value was read from or stored in itself.
This approach is pretty prone to failure. What if we accidentally
implement mfspr emulation where we just do "break" and nothing else?
Suddenly we would get a random value in the return register - which is
always a bad idea.
So let's consolidate the generic code paths and only give the core
specific SPR handling code readily made variables to read/write from/to.
Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything, but it increases the
readability of the code and makes is less prone to bugs.

This adds code to measure "stolen" time per virtual core in units of
timebase ticks, and to report the stolen time to the guest using the
dispatch trace log (DTL). The guest can register an area of memory
for the DTL for a given vcpu. The DTL is a ring buffer where KVM
fills in one entry every time it enters the guest for that vcpu.
Stolen time is measured as time when the virtual core is not running,
either because the vcore is not runnable (e.g. some of its vcpus are
executing elsewhere in the kernel or in userspace), or when the vcpu
thread that is running the vcore is preempted. This includes time
when all the vcpus are idle (i.e. have executed the H_CEDE hypercall),
which is OK because the guest accounts stolen time while idle as idle
time.
Each vcpu keeps a record of how much stolen time has been reported to
the guest for that vcpu so far. When we are about to enter the guest,
we create a new DTL entry (if the guest vcpu has a DTL) and report the
difference between total stolen time for the vcore and stolen time
reported so far for the vcpu as the "enqueue to dispatch" time in the
DTL entry.

The PAPR API allows three sorts of per-virtual-processor areas to be
registered (VPA, SLB shadow buffer, and dispatch trace log), and
furthermore, these can be registered and unregistered for another
virtual CPU. Currently we just update the vcpu fields pointing to
these areas at the time of registration or unregistration. If this
is done on another vcpu, there is the possibility that the target vcpu
is using those fields at the time and could end up using a bogus
pointer and corrupting memory.
This fixes the race by making the target cpu itself do the update, so
we can be sure that the update happens at a time when the fields
aren't being used. Each area now has a struct kvmppc_vpa which is
used to manage these updates. There is also a spinlock which protects
access to all of the kvmppc_vpa structs, other than to the pinned_addr
fields. (We could have just taken the spinlock when using the vpa,
slb_shadow or dtl fields, but that would mean taking the spinlock on
every guest entry and exit.)
This also changes 'struct dtl' (which was undefined) to 'struct dtl_entry',
which is what the rest of the kernel uses.

Currently on POWER7, if we are running the guest on a core and we don't
need all the hardware threads, we do nothing to ensure that the unused
threads aren't executing in the kernel (other than checking that they
are offline). We just assume they're napping and we don't do anything
to stop them trying to enter the kernel while the guest is running.
This means that a stray IPI can wake up the hardware thread and it will
then try to enter the kernel, but since the core is in guest context,
it will execute code from the guest in hypervisor mode once it turns the
MMU on, which tends to lead to crashes or hangs in the host.
This fixes the problem by adding two new one-byte flags in the
kvmppc_host_state structure in the PACA which are used to interlock
between the primary thread and the unused secondary threads when entering
the guest. With these flags, the primary thread can ensure that the
unused secondaries are not already in kernel mode (i.e. handling a stray
IPI) and then indicate that they should not try to enter the kernel
if they do get woken for any reason. Instead they will go into KVM code,
find that there is no vcpu to run, acknowledge and clear the IPI and go
back to nap mode.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat

This moves the get/set_one_reg implementation down from powerpc.c into
booke.c, book3s_pr.c and book3s_hv.c. This avoids #ifdefs in C code,
but more importantly, it fixes a bug on Book3s HV where we were
accessing beyond the end of the kvm_vcpu struct (via the to_book3s()
macro) and corrupting memory, causing random crashes and file corruption.
On Book3s HV we only accept setting the HIOR to zero, since the guest
runs in supervisor mode and its vectors are never offset from zero.

This changes the implementation of kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() for
Book3s HV guests to use the hardware C (changed) bits in the guest
hashed page table. Since this makes the implementation quite different
from the Book3s PR case, this moves the existing implementation from
book3s.c to book3s_pr.c and creates a new implementation in book3s_hv.c.
That implementation calls kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() to do the actual
work by calling kvm_test_clear_dirty on each page. It iterates over
the HPTEs, clearing the C bit if set, and returns 1 if any C bit was
set (including the saved C bit in the rmap entry).

This adds the infrastructure to enable us to page out pages underneath
a Book3S HV guest, on processors that support virtualized partition
memory, that is, POWER7. Instead of pinning all the guest's pages,
we now look in the host userspace Linux page tables to find the
mapping for a given guest page. Then, if the userspace Linux PTE
gets invalidated, kvm_unmap_hva() gets called for that address, and
we replace all the guest HPTEs that refer to that page with absent
HPTEs, i.e. ones with the valid bit clear and the HPTE_V_ABSENT bit
set, which will cause an HDSI when the guest tries to access them.
Finally, the page fault handler is extended to reinstantiate the
guest HPTE when the guest tries to access a page which has been paged
out.
Since we can't intercept the guest DSI and ISI interrupts on PPC970,
we still have to pin all the guest pages on PPC970. We have a new flag,
kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers, that indicates whether we can page
guest pages out. If it is not set, the MMU notifier callbacks do
nothing and everything operates as before.

This provides the low-level support for MMIO emulation in Book3S HV
guests. When the guest tries to map a page which is not covered by
any memslot, that page is taken to be an MMIO emulation page. Instead
of inserting a valid HPTE, we insert an HPTE that has the valid bit
clear but another hypervisor software-use bit set, which we call
HPTE_V_ABSENT, to indicate that this is an absent page. An
absent page is treated much like a valid page as far as guest hcalls
(H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ etc.) are concerned, except of course that
an absent HPTE doesn't need to be invalidated with tlbie since it
was never valid as far as the hardware is concerned.
When the guest accesses a page for which there is an absent HPTE, it
will take a hypervisor data storage interrupt (HDSI) since we now set
the VPM1 bit in the LPCR. Our HDSI handler for HPTE-not-present faults
looks up the hash table and if it finds an absent HPTE mapping the
requested virtual address, will switch to kernel mode and handle the
fault in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault(), which at present just calls
kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio() to set up the MMIO emulation.
This is based on an earlier patch by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, but since

the kvm->arch.slot_phys[] arrays with a small page index, even if

This removes the code from kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region() that
looked up the VMA for the region being added and called hva_to_page
to get the pfns for the memory. We have no guarantee that there will
be anything mapped there at the time of the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
ioctl call; userspace can do that ioctl and then map memory into the
region later.
Instead we defer looking up the pfn for each memory page until it is
needed, which generally means when the guest does an H_ENTER hcall on
the page. Since we can't call get_user_pages in real mode, if we don't
already have the pfn for the page, kvmppc_h_enter() will return
H_TOO_HARD and we then call kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter() once we get back
to kernel context. That calls kvmppc_get_guest_page() to get the pfn
for the page, and then calls back to kvmppc_h_enter() to redo the HPTE
insertion.
When the first vcpu starts executing, we need to have the RMO or VRMA
region mapped so that the guest's real mode accesses will work. Thus
we now have a check in kvmppc_vcpu_run() to see if the RMO/VRMA is set
up and if not, call kvmppc_hv_setup_rma(). It checks if the memslot
starting at guest physical 0 now has RMO memory mapped there; if so it
sets it up for the guest, otherwise on POWER7 it sets up the VRMA.
The function that does that, kvmppc_map_vrma, is now a bit simpler,
as it calls kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter instead of creating the HPTE itself.
Since we are now potentially updating entries in the slot_phys[]
arrays from multiple vcpu threads, we now have a spinlock protecting
those updates to ensure that we don't lose track of any references
to pages.

This allocates an array for each memory slot that is added to store

vmalloc'd and accessed in kvmppc_h_enter using real_vmalloc_addr().
This allows us to remove the ram_pginfo field from the kvm_arch

We use the low-order bits of the array entries to store a flag
indicating that we have done get_page on the corresponding page,
and therefore need to call put_page when we are finished with the

This function should be called with interrupts disabled, to avoid
a race where an exception is delivered after we check, but the
resched kick is received before we disable interrupts (and thus doesn't
actually trigger the exit code that would recheck exceptions).
booke already does this properly in the lightweight exit case, but
not on initial entry.
For now, move the call of prepare_to_enter into subarch-specific code so
that booke can do the right thing here. Ideally book3s would do the same
thing, but I'm having a hard time seeing where it does any interrupt
disabling of this sort (plus it has several additional call sites), so
I'm deferring the book3s fix to someone more familiar with that code.

With a KVM guest operating in SMT4 mode (i.e. 4 hardware threads per
core), whenever a CPU goes idle, we have to pull all the other
hardware threads in the core out of the guest, because the H_CEDE
hcall is handled in the kernel. This is inefficient.
This adds code to book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S to handle the H_CEDE hcall
in real mode. When a guest vcpu does an H_CEDE hcall, we now only
exit to the kernel if all the other vcpus in the same core are also
idle. Otherwise we mark this vcpu as napping, save state that could
be lost in nap mode (mainly GPRs and FPRs), and execute the nap
instruction. When the thread wakes up, because of a decrementer or
external interrupt, we come back in at kvm_start_guest (from the
system reset interrupt vector), find the `napping' flag set in the
paca, and go to the resume path.
This has some other ramifications. First, when starting a core, we
now start all the threads, both those that are immediately runnable and
those that are idle. This is so that we don't have to pull all the
threads out of the guest when an idle thread gets a decrementer interrupt
and wants to start running. In fact the idle threads will all start
with the H_CEDE hcall returning; being idle they will just do another
H_CEDE immediately and go to nap mode.
This required some changes to kvmppc_run_core() and kvmppc_run_vcpu().
These functions have been restructured to make them simpler and clearer.
We introduce a level of indirection in the wait queue that gets woken
when external and decrementer interrupts get generated for a vcpu, so
that we can have the 4 vcpus in a vcore using the same wait queue.
We need this because the 4 vcpus are being handled by one thread.
Secondly, when we need to exit from the guest to the kernel, we now
have to generate an IPI for any napping threads, because an HDEC
interrupt doesn't wake up a napping thread.
Thirdly, we now need to be able to handle virtual external interrupts
and decrementer interrupts becoming pending while a thread is napping,
and deliver those interrupts to the guest when the thread wakes.
This is done in kvmppc_cede_reentry, just before fast_guest_return.
Finally, since we are not using the generic kvm_vcpu_block for book3s_hv,
and hence not calling kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable, we can remove the #ifdef
from kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable.

This adds support for running KVM guests in supervisor mode on those
PPC970 processors that have a usable hypervisor mode. Unfortunately,
Apple G5 machines have supervisor mode disabled (MSR[HV] is forced to
1), but the YDL PowerStation does have a usable hypervisor mode.
There are several differences between the PPC970 and POWER7 in how
guests are managed. These differences are accommodated using the
CPU_FTR_ARCH_201 (PPC970) and CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 (POWER7) CPU feature
bits. Notably, on PPC970:
* The LPCR, LPID or RMOR registers don't exist, and the functions of
those registers are provided by bits in HID4 and one bit in HID0.
* External interrupts can be directed to the hypervisor, but unlike
POWER7 they are masked by MSR[EE] in non-hypervisor modes and use
SRR0/1 not HSRR0/1.
* There is no virtual RMA (VRMA) mode; the guest must use an RMO
(real mode offset) area.
* The TLB entries are not tagged with the LPID, so it is necessary to
flush the whole TLB on partition switch. Furthermore, when switching
partitions we have to ensure that no other CPU is executing the tlbie
or tlbsync instructions in either the old or the new partition,
otherwise undefined behaviour can occur.
* The PMU has 8 counters (PMC registers) rather than 6.
* The DSCR, PURR, SPURR, AMR, AMOR, UAMOR registers don't exist.
* The SLB has 64 entries rather than 32.
* There is no mediated external interrupt facility, so if we switch to
a guest that has a virtual external interrupt pending but the guest
has MSR[EE] = 0, we have to arrange to have an interrupt pending for
it so that we can get control back once it re-enables interrupts. We
do that by sending ourselves an IPI with smp_send_reschedule after
hard-disabling interrupts.

This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to
indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate
that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add
another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01
and set that for PPC970 and derivatives.
Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a
hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode
is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in
supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1
bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that
hypervisor mode is not useful.
Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that
only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206)
The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will
be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the
provided mask are set.
Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the
ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called
if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to
run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support
the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode
Offset (RMO) facility. These processors require a physically
contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest. When the guest does
an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a
limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset
value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes
the real address for the access. The size of the RMA has to be one of
a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
and some larger powers of 2.
Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically
contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we
allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator. The
size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and
kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options.
KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability
of the pool of preallocated RMAs. The capability value is 1 if the
processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports
the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest.
This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the
pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA. It
also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure.
Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
ioctl calls from userspace. To cope with this, we now preallocate the
kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient
for up to 64GB of guest memory. Subsequently we will get rid of this
array and use memory associated with each memslot instead.
This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into
host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level
to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region. Also, instead of having to look
up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check
that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB. However, if we are
adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling
get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the
RMA.
Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it
inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value
in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor
uses RMA or VRMA for the guest. This moves the LPCR value into the
kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request)
bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in
assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external
interrupt request.

This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one
hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads
per core on POWER7. The host still has to run single-threaded.
This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT
capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability
is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4.
To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads
active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined.
This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then
wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while
they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send
them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in
arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage
we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and
we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will
need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base
physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys()
for use in the low-level KVM book3s code.
When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core.
The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the
number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported
to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes
to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu
numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core.
We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute
the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently
implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads
are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere
in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU
by the other vcpus.
When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the
vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep
until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu,
or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu
thread goes from busy in host state to blocked).
It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g.
because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already
running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as
the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest.
We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start
to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via
the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go
into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it
is ready to actually enter the guest.
Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread
number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus
as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered
hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all
the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are
runnable.

This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR
paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by
implementing it in real mode. H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual
IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the
PAPR interface.
Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The
ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly
created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as
userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the
guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number
of host/guest context switches during guest IO.
There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu
to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used
most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness
when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the
future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a
checkpoint resume or migration.

This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel,
either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode,
or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full
kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if
possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will
become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition
switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of
the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel
linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU
is off.
This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode:
H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table
H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table
H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table
H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE
H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table
H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register
Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel:
H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives
H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu
H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA)
The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in
the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can
only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space.

This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means
that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means
that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent
performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.
This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing
Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR
hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
to include/linux/kvm.h.
Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
(i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
do one or the other.
This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
restriction.
With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
to those exception handlers.
We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
interrupts, so we have to handle those.
In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.
The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
(partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run
in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.
This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We
require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that
we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.
This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.
