This creates an alternative guest entry/exit path which is used for
radix guests on POWER9 systems when we have indep_threads_mode=Y. In
these circumstances there is exactly one vcpu per vcore and there is
no coordination required between vcpus or vcores; the vcpu can enter
the guest without needing to synchronize with anything else.
The new fast path is implemented almost entirely in C in book3s_hv.c
and runs with the MMU on until the guest is entered. On guest exit
we use the existing path until the point where we are committed to
exiting the guest (as distinct from handling an interrupt in the
low-level code and returning to the guest) and we have pulled the
guest context from the XIVE. At that point we check a flag in the
stack frame to see whether we came in via the old path and the new
path; if we came in via the new path then we go back to C code to do
the rest of the process of saving the guest context and restoring the
host context.
The C code is split into separate functions for handling the
OS-accessible state and the hypervisor state, with the idea that the
latter can be replaced by a hypercall when we implement nested
virtualization.

This streamlines the first part of the code that handles a hypervisor
interrupt that occurred in the guest. With this, all of the real-mode
handling that occurs is done before the "guest_exit_cont" label; once
we get to that label we are committed to exiting to host virtual mode.
Thus the machine check and HMI real-mode handling is moved before that
label.
Also, the code to handle external interrupts is moved out of line, as
is the code that calls kvmppc_realmode_hmi_handler().

Merge the topic branch we share with kvm-ppc, this brings in two xive
commits, one from Paul to rework HMI handling, and a minor cleanup to
drop an unused flag.
Hypervisor maintenance interrupts (HMIs) are generated by various
causes, signalled by bits in the hypervisor maintenance exception
register (HMER). In most cases calling OPAL to handle the interrupt
is the correct thing to do, but the "debug trigger" HMIs signalled by
PPC bit 17 (bit 46) of HMER are used to invoke software workarounds
for hardware bugs, and OPAL does not have any code to handle this
cause. The debug trigger HMI is used in POWER9 DD2.0 and DD2.1 chips
to work around a hardware bug in executing vector load instructions to
cache inhibited memory. In POWER9 DD2.2 chips, it is generated when
conditions are detected relating to threads being in TM (transactional
memory) suspended mode when the core SMT configuration needs to be
reconfigured.
The kernel currently has code to detect the vector CI load condition,
but only when the HMI occurs in the host, not when it occurs in a
guest. If a HMI occurs in the guest, it is always passed to OPAL, and
then we always re-sync the timebase, because the HMI cause might have
been a timebase error, for which OPAL would re-sync the timebase, thus
removing the timebase offset which KVM applied for the guest. Since
we don't know what OPAL did, we don't know whether to subtract the
timebase offset from the timebase, so instead we re-sync the timebase.
This adds code to determine explicitly what the cause of a debug
trigger HMI will be. This is based on a new device-tree property
under the CPU nodes called ibm,hmi-special-triggers, if it is
present, or otherwise based on the PVR (processor version register).
The handling of debug trigger HMIs is pulled out into a separate
function which can be called from the KVM guest exit code. If this
function handles and clears the HMI, and no other HMI causes remain,
then we skip calling OPAL and we proceed to subtract the guest
timebase offset from the timebase.
The overall handling for HMIs that occur in the host (i.e. not in a
KVM guest) is largely unchanged, except that we now don't set the flag
for the vector CI load workaround on DD2.2 processors.
This also removes a BUG_ON in the KVM code. BUG_ON is generally not
useful in KVM guest entry/exit code since it is difficult to handle
the resulting trap gracefully.

There are several cases outside the normal address space management
where a CPU's entire local TLB is to be flushed:
1. Booting the kernel, in case something has left stale entries in
the TLB (e.g., kexec).
2. Machine check, to clean corrupted TLB entries.
One other place where the TLB is flushed, is waking from deep idle
states. The flush is a side-effect of calling ->cpu_restore with the
intention of re-setting various SPRs. The flush itself is unnecessary
because in the first case, the TLB should not acquire new corrupted
TLB entries as part of sleep/wake (though they may be lost).
This type of TLB flush is coded inflexibly, several times for each CPU
type, and they have a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:
- The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account, it is
always done as a hash flushn For IS=2 (LPID-matching flush from host)
and IS=3 with HV=0 (guest kernel flush), tlbie(l) is undefined if
the R field does not match the current radix mode.
- ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches as
well.
- ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.
So consolidate the flushing code and implement it in C and inline asm
under the mm/ directory with the rest of the flush code. Add ISA v3.0B
cases for radix and hash, and use the radix flush in radix environment.
Provide a way for IS=2 (LPID flush) to specify the radix mode of the
partition. Have KVM pass in the radix mode of the guest.
Take out the flushes from early cputable/dt_cpu_ftrs detection hooks,
and move it later in the boot process after, the MMU registers are set
up and before relocation is first turned on.
The TLB flush is no longer called when restoring from deep idle states.
This was not be done as a separate step because booting secondaries
uses the same cpu_restore as idle restore, which needs the TLB flush.

Enhance KVM to cause a guest exit with KVM_EXIT_NMI
exit reason upon a machine check exception (MCE) in
the guest address space if the KVM_CAP_PPC_FWNMI
capability is enabled (instead of delivering a 0x200
interrupt to guest). This enables QEMU to build error
log and deliver machine check exception to guest via
guest registered machine check handler.
This approach simplifies the delivery of machine
check exception to guest OS compared to the earlier
approach of KVM directly invoking 0x200 guest interrupt
vector.
This design/approach is based on the feedback for the
QEMU patches to handle machine check exception. Details
of earlier approach of handling machine check exception
in QEMU and related discussions can be found at:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-11/msg00813.html
Note:
This patch now directly invokes machine_check_print_event_info()
from kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() to print the event to host console
at the time of guest exit before the exception is passed on to the
guest. Hence, the host-side handling which was performed earlier
via machine_check_fwnmi is removed.
The reasons for this approach is (i) it is not possible
to distinguish whether the exception occurred in the
guest or the host from the pt_regs passed on the
machine_check_exception(). Hence machine_check_exception()
calls panic, instead of passing on the exception to
the guest, if the machine check exception is not
recoverable. (ii) the approach introduced in this
patch gives opportunity to the host kernel to perform
actions in virtual mode before passing on the exception
to the guest. This approach does not require complex
tweaks to machine_check_fwnmi and friends.

When a guest is assigned to a core it converts the host Timebase (TB)
into guest TB by adding guest timebase offset before entering into
guest. During guest exit it restores the guest TB to host TB. This means
under certain conditions (Guest migration) host TB and guest TB can differ.
When we get an HMI for TB related issues the opal HMI handler would
try fixing errors and restore the correct host TB value. With no guest
running, we don't have any issues. But with guest running on the core
we run into TB corruption issues.
If we get an HMI while in the guest, the current HMI handler invokes opal
hmi handler before forcing guest to exit. The guest exit path subtracts
the guest TB offset from the current TB value which may have already
been restored with host value by opal hmi handler. This leads to incorrect
host and guest TB values.
With split-core, things become more complex. With split-core, TB also gets
split and each subcore gets its own TB register. When a hmi handler fixes
a TB error and restores the TB value, it affects all the TB values of
sibling subcores on the same core. On TB errors all the thread in the core
gets HMI. With existing code, the individual threads call opal hmi handle
independently which can easily throw TB out of sync if we have guest
running on subcores. Hence we will need to co-ordinate with all the
threads before making opal hmi handler call followed by TB resync.
This patch introduces a sibling subcore state structure (shared by all
threads in the core) in paca which holds information about whether sibling
subcores are in Guest mode or host mode. An array in_guest[] of size
MAX_SUBCORE_PER_CORE=4 is used to maintain the state of each subcore.
The subcore id is used as index into in_guest[] array. Only primary
thread entering/exiting the guest is responsible to set/unset its
designated array element.
On TB error, we get HMI interrupt on every thread on the core. Upon HMI,
this patch will now force guest to vacate the core/subcore. Primary
thread from each subcore will then turn off its respective bit
from the above bitmap during the guest exit path just after the
guest->host partition switch is complete.
All other threads that have just exited the guest OR were already in host
will wait until all other subcores clears their respective bit.
Once all the subcores turn off their respective bit, all threads will
will make call to opal hmi handler.
It is not necessary that opal hmi handler would resync the TB value for
every HMI interrupts. It would do so only for the HMI caused due to
TB errors. For rest, it would not touch TB value. Hence to make things
simpler, primary thread would call TB resync explicitly once for each
core immediately after opal hmi handler instead of subtracting guest
offset from TB. TB resync call will restore the TB with host value.
Thus we can be sure about the TB state.
One of the primary threads exiting the guest will take up the
responsibility of calling TB resync. It will use one of the top bits
(bit 63) from subcore state flags bitmap to make the decision. The first
primary thread (among the subcores) that is able to set the bit will
have to call the TB resync. Rest all other threads will wait until TB
resync is complete. Once TB resync is complete all threads will then
proceed.

Currently we forward MCEs to guest which have been recovered by guest.

This patch now forwards all fatal MCEs to guest causing guest to crash/panic.
And, for recovered errors we just go back to normal functioning of guest
instead of returning to host. This fixes soft lockup issues in guest.

Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also
take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down
in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes
and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full
MCE information.
We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still
available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take
another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new
stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have
our MCE information safe on current stack.
We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer
is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter
mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter
machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot
(index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the
MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler.
This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event()
generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and
retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so
that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag
either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be
fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking
release_mce_event().
This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic
mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt.
The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so
that event is available for linus host machine
If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error.
If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and
delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it
exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler
which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure
case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to
consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false
and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

Currently, if a machine check interrupt happens while we are in the
guest, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler,
which tends to cause the host to panic. Some machine checks can be
triggered by the guest; for example, if the guest creates two entries
in the SLB that map the same effective address, and then accesses that
effective address, the CPU will take a machine check interrupt.
To handle this better, when a machine check happens inside the guest,
we call a new function, kvmppc_realmode_machine_check(), while still in
real mode before exiting the guest. On POWER7, it handles the cases
that the guest can trigger, either by flushing and reloading the SLB,
or by flushing the TLB, and then it delivers the machine check interrupt
directly to the guest without going back to the host. On POWER7, the
OPAL firmware patches the machine check interrupt vector so that it
gets control first, and it leaves behind its analysis of the situation
in a structure pointed to by the opal_mc_evt field of the paca. The
kvmppc_realmode_machine_check() function looks at this, and if OPAL
reports that there was no error, or that it has handled the error, we
also go straight back to the guest with a machine check. We have to
deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt
might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1.
If the machine check is one we can't handle in real mode, and one that
OPAL hasn't already handled, or on PPC970, we exit the guest and call
the host's machine check handler. We do this by jumping to the
machine_check_fwnmi label, rather than absolute address 0x200, because
we don't want to re-execute OPAL's handler on POWER7. On PPC970, the
two are equivalent because address 0x200 just contains a branch.
Then, if the host machine check handler decides that the system can
continue executing, kvmppc_handle_exit() delivers a machine check
interrupt to the guest -- once again to let the guest know that SRR0/1
have been modified.
