Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
The one big thing about the Gekko is paired singles.
Paired singles are an extension to the instruction set, that adds 32 single
precision floating point registers (qprs), some SPRs to modify the behavior
of paired singled operations and instructions to deal with qprs to the
instruction set.
Unfortunately, it also changes semantics of existing operations that affect
single values in FPRs. In most cases they get mirrored to the coresponding
QPR.
Thanks to that we need to emulate all FPU operations and all the new paired
single operations too.
In order to achieve that, we use the just introduced FPU call helpers to
call the real FPU whenever the guest wants to modify an FPR. Additionally
we also fix up the QPR values along the way.
That way we can execute paired single FPU operations without implementing a
soft fpu.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

We keep a copy of the MSR around that we use when we go into the guest context.
That copy is basically the normal process MSR flags OR some allowed guest

traps on FPU usage when we haven't activated it on the host yet.
Currently this calculation is part of the set_msr function that we use whenever
we set the guest MSR value. With the external providers, we also have the case
that we don't modify the guest's MSR, but only want to update the shadow MSR.

valuable information about the type of interrupt we received, for

We use that information to speed up the exit path.
Now if we get preempted before we can interpret the shadow_msr values,
we get into vcpu_put which then calls the MSR handler, which then sets
all the SRR1 information bits in shadow_msr to 0. Great.
So let's preserve the SRR1 specific bits in shadow_msr whenever we set

and loaded, it doesn't suffice for the PACA acceleration that will follow
in this patchset.
So let's just create little wrapper inline functions that we call whenever
a GPR needs to be read from or written to. The compiled code shouldn't really
change at all for now.

The PowerPC C ABI defines that registers r14-r31 need to be preserved across
function calls. Since our exit handler is written in C, we can make use of that
and don't need to reload r14-r31 on every entry/exit cycle.
This technique is also used in the BookE code and is called "lightweight exits"
there. To follow the tradition, it's called the same in Book3S.
So far this optimization was disabled though, as the code didn't do what it was
expected to do, but failed to work.
This patch fixes and enables lightweight exits again.

What it is: vhost net is a character device that can be used to reduce
the number of system calls involved in virtio networking.
Existing virtio net code is used in the guest without modification.
There's similarity with vringfd, with some differences and reduced scope
- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)
common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear. I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.
What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.
How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device. Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.
Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.
Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use
Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item. The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).
Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.
To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.
So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other
hypervisors usable.

Getting from host state to the guest is only half the story. We also need
to return to our host context and handle whatever happened to get us out of
the guest.
On PowerPC every guest exit is an interrupt. So all we need to do is trap
the host's interrupt handlers and get into our #VMEXIT code to handle it.
PowerPCs also have a register that can add an offset to the interrupt handlers'
adresses which is what the booke KVM code uses. Unfortunately that is a
hypervisor ressource and we also want to be able to run KVM when we're running
in an LPAR. So we have to hook into the Linux interrupt handlers.

Book3s_64 has an SLB, which stores all ESID -> VSID mappings we're

The segments in the guest differ from the ones on the host, so we need

So we store a shadow of the guest's SLB in the PACA, switch to that on
entry and only restore bolted entries on exit, leaving the rest to the

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for

For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.
Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.
Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch

Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the
guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of
memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also
required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry.
Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly
into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as
part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half
the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits,
at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some
guest entries.
These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which
implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the
need to walk arrays in software).
In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of
leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all
subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

We used to defer invalidating userspace TLB entries until jumping out of the
kernel. This was causing MMU weirdness most easily triggered by using a pipe in
the guest, e.g. "dmesg | tail". I believe the problem was that after the guest
kernel changed the PID (part of context switch), the old process's mappings
were still present, and so copy_to_user() on the "return to new process" path
ended up using stale mappings.
Testing with large pages (64K) exposed the problem, probably because with 4K
pages, pressure on the TLB faulted all process A's mappings out before the
guest kernel could insert any for process B.

Bare metal Linux on 440 can "overmap" RAM in the kernel linear map, so that it
can use large (256MB) mappings even if memory isn't a multiple of 256MB. To
prevent the hardware prefetcher from loading from an invalid physical address
through that mapping, it's marked Guarded.
However, KVM must ensure that all guest mappings are backed by real physical
RAM (since a deliberate access through a guarded mapping could still cause a
machine check). Accordingly, we don't need to make our mappings guarded, so
let's allow prefetching as the designers intended.
Curiously this patch didn't affect performance at all on the quick test I

In kvmppc_deliver_interrupt is just one case left in the switch and it is a
rare one (less than 8%) when looking at the exit numbers. Therefore we can
at least drop the switch/case and if an if. I inserted an unlikely too, but
that's open for discussion.
In kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt all frequent cases are in the default case.
I know compilers are smart but we can make it easier for them. By writing
down all options and removing the default case combined with the fact that
ithe values are constants 0..15 should allow the compiler to write an easy
jump table.
Modifying kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt pointed me to the fact that gcc seems
to be unable to reduce priority_exception[x] to a build time constant.
Therefore I changed the usage of the translation arrays in the interrupt
delivery path completely. It is now using priority without translation to irq
on the full irq delivery path.
To be able to do that ivpr regs are stored by their priority now.
Additionally the decision made in kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt is already
sufficient to get the value of interrupt_msr_mask[x]. Therefore we can replace
the 16x4byte array used here with a single 4byte variable (might still be one
miss, but the chance to find this in cache should be better than the right
entry of the whole array).

Currently we use an unnecessary if&switch to detect some cases.
To be honest we don't need the ligh_exits counter anyway, because we can
calculate it out of others. Sum_exits can also be calculated, so we can
remove that too.
MMIO, DCR and INTR can be counted on other places without these
additional control structures (The INTR case was never hit anyway).
The handling of BOOKE_INTERRUPT_EXTERNAL/BOOKE_INTERRUPT_DECREMENTER is
similar, but we can avoid the additional if when copying 3 lines of code.
I thought about a goto there to prevent duplicate lines, but rewriting three
lines should be better style than a goto cross switch/case statements (its
also not enough code to justify a new inline function).

When changing some msr bits e.g. problem state we need to take special
care of that. We call the function in our mtmsr emulation (not needed for
wrtee[i]), but we don't call kvmppc_set_msr if we change msr via set_regs
ioctl.
It's a corner case we never hit so far, but I assume it should be
kvmppc_set_msr in our arch set regs function (I found it because it is also
a corner case when using pv support which would miss the update otherwise).

Cores provide 3 emulation hooks, implemented for example in the new
4xx_emulate.c:
kvmppc_core_emulate_op
kvmppc_core_emulate_mtspr
kvmppc_core_emulate_mfspr
Strictly speaking the last two aren't necessary, but provide for more
informative error reporting ("unknown SPR").
Long term I'd like to have instruction decoding autogenerated from tables of
opcodes, and that way we could aggregate universal, Book E, and core-specific
instructions more easily and without redundant switch statements.

This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are
implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c.
Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to
build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function
pointers would only add overhead.

Commit 2a4aca1144 ("powerpc/mm: Split
low level tlb invalidate for nohash processors") changed a call to
_tlbia to _tlbil_all but didn't include the header that defines
_tlbil_all, leading to a build failure on 440 if KVM is enabled.
This fixes it.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
Currently, the various forms of low level TLB invalidations are all
implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary
mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole
bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used.
This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in
hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all
nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to
a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S.
I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of
include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into
mm/mmu_decl.h
The code should have no functional changes. I kept some variants
inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

When the VM exits, we must call put_page() for every page referenced in the
shadow TLB.
Without this patch, we usually leak 30-50 host pages (120 - 200 KiB with 4 KiB
pages). The maximum number of pages leaked is the size of our shadow TLB, 64
pages.

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have
been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user
mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the
kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace.
The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do
on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time
performance improvement: about 30%.

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it.
Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight
exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host
process (i.e. not qemu).
Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves
guest boot time by about 15%.
