Currently we request write access to all pages that get mapped into the
guest, even if the guest is only loading from the page. This reduces
the effectiveness of KSM because it means that we unshare every page we
access. Also, we always set the changed (C) bit in the guest HPTE if
it allows writing, even for a guest load.
This fixes both these problems. We pass an 'iswrite' flag to the
mmu.xlate() functions and to kvmppc_mmu_map_page() to indicate whether
the access is a load or a store. The mmu.xlate() functions now only
set C for stores. kvmppc_gfn_to_pfn() now calls gfn_to_pfn_prot()
instead of gfn_to_pfn() so that it can indicate whether we need write
access to the page, and get back a 'writable' flag to indicate whether
the page is writable or not. If that 'writable' flag is clear, we then
make the host HPTE read-only even if the guest HPTE allowed writing.
This means that we can get a protection fault when the guest writes to a
page that it has mapped read-write but which is read-only on the host
side (perhaps due to KSM having merged the page). Thus we now call
kvmppc_handle_pagefault() for protection faults as well as HPTE not found
faults. In kvmppc_handle_pagefault(), if the access was allowed by the
guest HPTE and we thus need to install a new host HPTE, we then need to
remove the old host HPTE if there is one. This is done with a new
function, kvmppc_mmu_unmap_page(), which uses kvmppc_mmu_pte_vflush() to
find and remove the old host HPTE.
Since the memslot-related functions require the KVM SRCU read lock to
be held, this adds srcu_read_lock/unlock pairs around the calls to
kvmppc_handle_pagefault().
Finally, this changes kvmppc_mmu_book3s_32_xlate_pte() to not ignore
guest HPTEs that don't permit access, and to return -EPERM for accesses
that are not permitted by the page protections.

This makes PR KVM allocate its kvm_vcpu structs from the kvm_vcpu_cache
rather than having them embedded in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct,
which is allocated with vzalloc. The reason is to reduce the
differences between PR and HV KVM in order to make is easier to have
them coexist in one kernel binary.
With this, the kvm_vcpu struct has a pointer to the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s
struct. The pointer to the kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu struct has moved
from the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct to the kvm_vcpu struct, and is only
present for 32-bit, since it is only used for 32-bit.

This adds a per-VM mutex to provide mutual exclusion between vcpus
for accesses to and updates of the guest hashed page table (HPT).
This also makes the code use single-byte writes to the HPT entry
when updating of the reference (R) and change (C) bits. The reason
for doing this, rather than writing back the whole HPTE, is that on
non-PAPR virtual machines, the guest OS might be writing to the HPTE
concurrently, and writing back the whole HPTE might conflict with
that. Also, real hardware does single-byte writes to update R and C.
The new mutex is taken in kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_xlate() when reading
the HPT and updating R and/or C, and in the PAPR HPT update hcalls
(H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, etc.). Having the mutex means that we don't need
to use a hypervisor lock bit in the HPT update hcalls, and we don't
need to be careful about the order in which the bytes of the HPTE are
updated by those hcalls.
The other change here is to make emulated TLB invalidations (tlbie)
effective across all vcpus. To do this we call kvmppc_mmu_pte_vflush
for all vcpus in kvmppc_ppc_book3s_64_tlbie().
For 32-bit, this makes the setting of the accessed and dirty bits use
single-byte writes, and makes tlbie invalidate shadow HPTEs for all
vcpus.
With this, PR KVM can successfully run SMP guests.

Currently, PR KVM uses 4k pages for the host-side mappings of guest
memory, regardless of the host page size. When the host page size is
64kB, we might as well use 64k host page mappings for guest mappings
of 64kB and larger pages and for guest real-mode mappings. However,
the magic page has to remain a 4k page.
To implement this, we first add another flag bit to the guest VSID
values we use, to indicate that this segment is one where host pages
should be mapped using 64k pages. For segments with this bit set
we set the bits in the shadow SLB entry to indicate a 64k base page
size. When faulting in host HPTEs for this segment, we make them
64k HPTEs instead of 4k. We record the pagesize in struct hpte_cache
for use when invalidating the HPTE.
For now we restrict the segment containing the magic page (if any) to
4k pages. It should be possible to lift this restriction in future
by ensuring that the magic 4k page is appropriately positioned within
a host 64k page.

Right now we're examining the contents of Book3s_32's segment registers when
the register is written and put the interpreted contents into a struct.
There are two reasons this is bad. For starters, the struct has worse real-time
performance, as it occupies more ram. But the more important part is that with
segment registers being interpreted from their raw values, we can put them in
the shared page, allowing guests to mess with them directly.
This patch makes the internal representation of SRs be u32s.

We need to override EA as well as PA lookups for the magic page. When the guest
tells us to project it, the magic page overrides any guest mappings.
In order to reflect that, we need to hook into all the MMU layers of KVM to
force map the magic page if necessary.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.

When a guest sets its SR entry to invalid, we may still find a
corresponding entry in a BAT. So we need to make sure we're not
faulting on invalid SR entries, but instead just claim them to be
BAT resolved.
This resolves breakage experienced when using libogc based guests.

When in split mode, instruction relocation and data relocation are not equal.
So far we implemented this mode by reserving a special pseudo-VSID for the
two cases and flushing all PTEs when going into split mode, which is slow.
Unfortunately 32bit Linux and Mac OS X use split mode extensively. So to not
slow down things too much, I came up with a different idea: Mark the split
mode with a bit in the VSID and then treat it like any other segment.
This means we can just flush the shadow segment cache, but keep the PTEs
intact. I verified that this works with ppc32 Linux and Mac OS X 10.4
guests and does speed them up.
