966cd0f3bd KVM: PPC: Ignore unhalt request from kvm_vcpu_block
When running kvm_vcpu_block and it realizes that the CPU is actually good
to run, we get a request bit set for KVM_REQ_UNHALT. Right now, there's
nothing we can do with that bit, so let's unset it right after the call
again so we don't get confused in our later checks for pending work.

6020c0f6e7 KVM: PPC: Pass EA to updating emulation ops
When emulating updating load/store instructions (lwzu, stwu, ...) we need to
write the effective address of the load/store into a register.

Currently, we write the physical address in there, which is very wrong. So
instead let's save off where the virtual fault was on MMIO and use that
information as value to put into the register.

While at it, also move the XOP variants of the above instructions to the new
scheme of using the already known vaddr instead of calculating it themselves.

4e642ccbd6 KVM: PPC: booke: expose good state on irq reinject
When reinjecting an interrupt into the host interrupt handler after we're
back in host kernel land, we need to tell the kernel where the interrupt
happened. We can't tell it that we were in guest state, because that might
lead to random code walking host addresses. So instead, we tell it that
we came from the interrupt reinject code.

This helps getting reasonable numbers out of perf.

d30f6e4800 KVM: PPC: booke: category E.HV (GS-mode) support
Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06
provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for
guest state.  The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping
into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace.

Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from
guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly
to book3s.

Current issues include:
 - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler.
 - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction
   in a page that lacks read permission.  Existing e500/4xx support has
   the same problem.

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.

dfd4d47e9a KVM: PPC: booke: Improve timer register emulation
Decrementers are now properly driven by TCR/TSR, and the guest
has full read/write access to these registers.

The decrementer keeps ticking (and setting the TSR bit) regardless of
whether the interrupts are enabled with TCR.

The decrementer stops at zero, rather than going negative.

Decrementers (and FITs, once implemented) are delivered as
level-triggered interrupts -- dequeued when the TSR bit is cleared, not
on delivery.

b59049720d KVM: PPC: Paravirtualize SPRG4-7, ESR, PIR, MASn
This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest
in PR-mode KVM without trapping.

SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace.  On booke, KVM will sync
these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from
guest userspace will work.  The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently
use either the real registers or the shared area between exits.  This
also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3.

On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported
(they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic
chips).  They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any
non-booke emulation.  I also do not see any syncing with real registers
(in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3.  This patch should not
make that situation any worse.

25051b5a5a KVM: PPC: Move prepare_to_enter call site into subarch code
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.
book3s behavior should be unchanged by this patch.

dd9ebf1f94 KVM: PPC: e500: Add shadow PID support
Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into
multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS].  Use
both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be
selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest
PID.

This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to
invalidate the entire TLB.  When the guest mode or PID changes, we just
update the host PID0/PID1.  And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is
global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict.

Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to
a value other than zero.  This will need to be fixed for nested KVM
to work.  Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2
to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them
to something else.

write those, we can just share them with the guest using the page.

This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

de7906c36c KVM: PPC: Convert SRR0 and SRR1 to shared page
The SRR0 and SRR1 registers contain cached values of the PC and MSR
respectively. They get written to by the hypervisor when an interrupt
occurs or directly by the kernel. They are also used to tell the rfi(d)
instruction where to jump to.

Because it only gets touched on defined events that, it's very simple to
share with the guest. Hypervisor and guest both have full r/w access.

This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

5e030186df KVM: PPC: Convert DAR to shared page.
The DAR register contains the address a data page fault occured at. This
register behaves pretty much like a simple data storage register that gets
written to on data faults. There is no hypervisor interaction required on
read or write.

This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

666e7252a1 KVM: PPC: Convert MSR to shared page
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.

2122ff5eab KVM: move vcpu locking to dispatcher for generic vcpu ioctls
All vcpu ioctls need to be locked, so instead of locking each one specifically
we lock at the generic dispatcher.

This patch only updates generic ioctls and leaves arch specific ioctls alone.
