51f047261e KVM: PPC: Allow kvmppc_get_last_inst() to fail
On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.

This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.

Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

6f22bd3265 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make HTAB code LE host aware
When running on an LE host all data structures are kept in little endian
byte order. However, the HTAB still needs to be maintained in big endian.

So every time we access any HTAB we need to make sure we do so in the right
byte order. Fix up all accesses to manually byte swap.

6c576e74fd KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make sure we don't miss dirty pages
Current, when testing whether a page is dirty (when constructing the
bitmap for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl), we test the C (changed) bit
in the HPT entries mapping the page, and if it is 0, we consider the
page to be clean.  However, the Power ISA doesn't require processors
to set the C bit to 1 immediately when writing to a page, and in fact
allows them to delay the writeback of the C bit until they receive a
TLB invalidation for the page.  Thus it is possible that the page
could be dirty and we miss it.

Now, if there are vcpus running, this is not serious since the
collection of the dirty log is racy already - some vcpu could dirty
the page just after we check it.  But if there are no vcpus running we
should return definitive results, in case we are in the final phase of
migrating the guest.

Also, if the permission bits in the HPTE don't allow writing, then we
know that no CPU can set C.  If the HPTE was previously writable and
the page was modified, any C bit writeback would have been flushed out
by the tlbie that we did when changing the HPTE to read-only.

Otherwise we need to do a TLB invalidation even if the C bit is 0, and
then check the C bit.

687414bebe KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix dirty map for hugepages
The dirty map that we construct for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl has
one bit per system page (4K/64K).  Currently, we only set one bit in
the map for each HPT entry with the Change bit set, even if the HPT is
for a large page (e.g., 16MB).  Userspace then considers only the
first system page dirty, though in fact the guest may have modified
anywhere in the large page.

To fix this, we make kvm_test_clear_dirty() return the actual number
of pages that are dirty (and rename it to kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages()
to emphasize that that's what it returns).  In kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log()
we then set that many bits in the dirty map.

1066f7724c KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Put huge-page HPTEs in rmap chain for base address
Currently, when a huge page is faulted in for a guest, we select the
rmap chain to insert the HPTE into based on the guest physical address
that the guest tried to access.  Since there is an rmap chain for each
system page, there are many rmap chains for the area covered by a huge
page (e.g. 256 for 16MB pages when PAGE_SIZE = 64kB), and the huge-page
HPTE could end up in any one of them.

For consistency, and to make the huge-page HPTEs easier to find, we now
put huge-page HPTEs in the rmap chain corresponding to the base address
of the huge page.

792fc49787 KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: HV: Prefer CMA region for hash page table allocation
Today when KVM tries to reserve memory for the hash page table it
allocates from the normal page allocator first. If that fails it
falls back to CMA's reserved region. One of the side effects of
this is that we could end up exhausting the page allocator and
get linux into OOM conditions while we still have plenty of space
available in CMA.

This patch addresses this issue by first trying hash page table
allocation from CMA's reserved region before falling back to the normal
page allocator. So if we run out of memory, we really are out of memory.

736017752d KVM: PPC: Book3S: MMIO emulation support for little endian guests
MMIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest
and then emulates. If the guest is running in Little Endian order,
or more generally in a different endian order of the host, the
instruction needs to be byte-swapped before being emulated.

This patch adds a helper routine which tests the endian order of
the host and the guest in order to decide whether a byteswap is
needed or not. It is then used to byteswap the last instruction
of the guest in the endian order of the host before MMIO emulation
is performed.

Finally, kvmppc_handle_load() of kvmppc_handle_store() are modified
to reverse the endianness of the MMIO if required.

91648ec09c powerpc: kvm: fix rare but potential deadlock scene
Since kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() is called from both virtmode and
realmode, so it can trigger the deadlock.

Suppose the following scene:

Two physical cpuM, cpuN, two VM instances A, B, each VM has a group of
vcpus.

If on cpuM, vcpu_A_1 holds bitlock X (HPTE_V_HVLOCK), then is switched
out, and on cpuN, vcpu_A_2 try to lock X in realmode, then cpuN will be
caught in realmode for a long time.

What makes things even worse if the following happens,
  On cpuM, bitlockX is hold, on cpuN, Y is hold.
  vcpu_B_2 try to lock Y on cpuM in realmode
  vcpu_A_2 try to lock X on cpuN in realmode

Oops! deadlock happens

caaa4c804f KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix physical address calculations
This fixes a bug in kvmppc_do_h_enter() where the physical address
for a page can be calculated incorrectly if transparent huge pages
(THP) are active.  Until THP came along, it was true that if we
encountered a large (16M) page in kvmppc_do_h_enter(), then the
associated memslot must be 16M aligned for both its guest physical
address and the userspace address, and the physical address
calculations in kvmppc_do_h_enter() assumed that.  With THP, that
is no longer true.

In the case where we are using MMU notifiers and the page size that
we get from the Linux page tables is larger than the page being mapped
by the guest, we need to fill in some low-order bits of the physical
address.  Without THP, these bits would be the same in the guest
physical address (gpa) and the host virtual address (hva).  With THP,
they can be different, and we need to use the bits from hva rather
than gpa.

In the case where we are not using MMU notifiers, the host physical
address we get from the memslot->arch.slot_phys[] array already
includes the low-order bits down to the PAGE_SIZE level, even if
we are using large pages.  Thus we can simplify the calculation in
this case to just add in the remaining bits in the case where
PAGE_SIZE is 64k and the guest is mapping a 4k page.

The same bug exists in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault().  The basic fix
is to use psize (the page size from the HPTE) rather than pte_size
(the page size from the Linux PTE) when updating the HPTE low word
in r.  That means that pfn needs to be computed to PAGE_SIZE
granularity even if the Linux PTE is a huge page PTE.  That can be
arranged simply by doing the page_to_pfn() before setting page to
the head of the compound page.  If psize is less than PAGE_SIZE,
then we need to make sure we only update the bits from PAGE_SIZE
upwards, in order not to lose any sub-page offset bits in r.
On the other hand, if psize is greater than PAGE_SIZE, we need to
make sure we don't bring in non-zero low order bits in pfn, hence
we mask (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) with ~(psize - 1).

93b159b466 KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Better handling of host-side read-only pages
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.

a0144e2a6b KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Store LPCR value for each virtual core
This adds the ability to have a separate LPCR (Logical Partitioning
Control Register) value relating to a guest for each virtual core,
rather than only having a single value for the whole VM.  This
corresponds to what real POWER hardware does, where there is a LPCR
per CPU thread but most of the fields are required to have the same
value on all active threads in a core.

The per-virtual-core LPCR can be read and written using the
GET/SET_ONE_REG interface.  Userspace can can only modify the
following fields of the LPCR value:

DPFD	Default prefetch depth
ILE	Interrupt little-endian
TC	Translation control (secondary HPT hash group search disable)

We still maintain a per-VM default LPCR value in kvm->arch.lpcr, which
contains bits relating to memory management, i.e. the Virtualized
Partition Memory (VPM) bits and the bits relating to guest real mode.
When this default value is updated, the update needs to be propagated
to the per-vcore values, so we add a kvmppc_update_lpcr() helper to do
that.

2f84d5ea6f ppc: kvm: use anon_inode_getfd() with O_CLOEXEC flag
KVM uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part
of some of its ioctls. But those ioctls are lacking a flag argument
allowing userspace to choose options for the newly opened file descriptor.

In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that
userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor
is going to be inherited across exec().

This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on all file descriptors created
with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().

fa61a4e376 powerpc/kvm: Contiguous memory allocator based hash page table allocation
Powerpc architecture uses a hash based page table mechanism for mapping virtual
addresses to physical address. The architecture require this hash page table to
be physically contiguous. With KVM on Powerpc currently we use early reservation
mechanism for allocating guest hash page table. This implies that we need to
reserve a big memory region to ensure we can create large number of guest
simultaneously with KVM on Power. Another disadvantage is that the reserved memory
is not available to rest of the subsystems and and that implies we limit the total
available memory in the host.

This patch series switch the guest hash page table allocation to use
contiguous memory allocator.

c35635efdc KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Report VPA and DTL modifications in dirty map
At present, the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl doesn't report modifications
done by the host to the virtual processor areas (VPAs) and dispatch
trace logs (DTLs) registered by the guest.  This is because those
modifications are done either in real mode or in the host kernel
context, and in neither case does the access go through the guest's
HPT, and thus no change (C) bit gets set in the guest's HPT.

However, the changes done by the host do need to be tracked so that
the modified pages get transferred when doing live migration.  In
order to track these modifications, this adds a dirty flag to the
struct representing the VPA/DTL areas, and arranges to set the flag
when the VPA/DTL gets modified by the host.  Then, when we are
collecting the dirty log, we also check the dirty flags for the
VPA and DTL for each vcpu and set the relevant bit in the dirty log
if necessary.  Doing this also means we now need to keep track of
the guest physical address of the VPA/DTL areas.

So as not to lose track of modifications to a VPA/DTL area when it gets
unregistered, or when a new area gets registered in its place, we need
to transfer the dirty state to the rmap chain.  This adds code to
kvmppc_unpin_guest_page() to do that if the area was dirty.  To simplify
that code, we now require that all VPA, DTL and SLB shadow buffer areas
fit within a single host page.  Guests already comply with this
requirement because pHyp requires that these areas not cross a 4k
boundary.

a1b4a0f606 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make HPT reading code notice R/C bit changes
At present, the code that determines whether a HPT entry has changed,
and thus needs to be sent to userspace when it is copying the HPT,
doesn't consider a hardware update to the reference and change bits
(R and C) in the HPT entries to constitute a change that needs to
be sent to userspace.  This adds code to check for changes in R and C
when we are scanning the HPT to find changed entries, and adds code
to set the changed flag for the HPTE when we update the R and C bits
in the guest view of the HPTE.

Since we now need to set the HPTE changed flag in book3s_64_mmu_hv.c
as well as book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c, we move the note_hpte_modification()
function into kvm_book3s_64.h.

Current Linux guest kernels don't use the hardware updates of R and C
in the HPT, so this change won't affect them.  Linux (or other) kernels
might in future want to use the R and C bits and have them correctly
transferred across when a guest is migrated, so it is better to correct
this deficiency.

1b400ba0cd KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Improve handling of local vs. global TLB invalidations
When we change or remove a HPT (hashed page table) entry, we can do
either a global TLB invalidation (tlbie) that works across the whole
machine, or a local invalidation (tlbiel) that only affects this core.
Currently we do local invalidations if the VM has only one vcpu or if
the guest requests it with the H_LOCAL flag, though the guest Linux
kernel currently doesn't ever use H_LOCAL.  Then, to cope with the
possibility that vcpus moving around to different physical cores might
expose stale TLB entries, there is some code in kvmppc_hv_entry to
flush the whole TLB of entries for this VM if either this vcpu is now
running on a different physical core from where it last ran, or if this
physical core last ran a different vcpu.

There are a number of problems on POWER7 with this as it stands:

- The TLB invalidation is done per thread, whereas it only needs to be
  done per core, since the TLB is shared between the threads.
- With the possibility of the host paging out guest pages, the use of
  H_LOCAL by an SMP guest is dangerous since the guest could possibly
  retain and use a stale TLB entry pointing to a page that had been
  removed from the guest.
- The TLB invalidations that we do when a vcpu moves from one physical
  core to another are unnecessary in the case of an SMP guest that isn't
  using H_LOCAL.
- The optimization of using local invalidations rather than global should
  apply to guests with one virtual core, not just one vcpu.

(None of this applies on PPC970, since there we always have to
invalidate the whole TLB when entering and leaving the guest, and we
can't support paging out guest memory.)

To fix these problems and simplify the code, we now maintain a simple
cpumask of which cpus need to flush the TLB on entry to the guest.
(This is indexed by cpu, though we only ever use the bits for thread
0 of each core.)  Whenever we do a local TLB invalidation, we set the
bits for every cpu except the bit for thread 0 of the core that we're
currently running on.  Whenever we enter a guest, we test and clear the
bit for our core, and flush the TLB if it was set.

On initial startup of the VM, and when resetting the HPT, we set all the
bits in the need_tlb_flush cpumask, since any core could potentially have
stale TLB entries from the previous VM to use the same LPID, or the
previous contents of the HPT.

Then, we maintain a count of the number of online virtual cores, and use
that when deciding whether to use a local invalidation rather than the
number of online vcpus.  The code to make that decision is extracted out
into a new function, global_invalidates().  For multi-core guests on
POWER7 (i.e. when we are using mmu notifiers), we now never do local
invalidations regardless of the H_LOCAL flag.

a64fd70748 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Reset reverse-map chains when resetting the HPT
With HV-style KVM, we maintain reverse-mapping lists that enable us to
find all the HPT (hashed page table) entries that reference each guest
physical page, with the heads of the lists in the memslot->arch.rmap
arrays.  When we reset the HPT (i.e. when we reboot the VM), we clear
out all the HPT entries but we were not clearing out the reverse
mapping lists.  The result is that as we create new HPT entries, the
lists get corrupted, which can easily lead to loops, resulting in the
host kernel hanging when it tries to traverse those lists.

This fixes the problem by zeroing out all the reverse mapping lists
when we zero out the HPT.  This incidentally means that we are also
zeroing our record of the referenced and changed bits (not the bits
in the Linux PTEs, used by the Linux MM subsystem, but the bits used
by the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl, and those used by kvm_age_hva() and
kvm_test_age_hva()).

a2932923cc KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a method for userspace to read and write the HPT
A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor.  Reads on
this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes
create and/or remove entries in the HPT.  There is a new capability,
KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl.  The ioctl
takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to
read out and a set of flags.  The flags indicate whether the user is
intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries
or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in
the first doubleword).

This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for
live migration.  Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information
about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs).  When the first pass reaches the
end of the HPT, it returns from the read.  Subsequent reads only return
information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read.
A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last
read finished will return 0 bytes.

The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the
invalid entries.  Each block of data starts with a header that indicates
the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of
valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of
invalid entries following those valid entries.  The valid entries, 16
bytes each, follow the header.  The invalid entries are not explicitly
represented.

7ed661bf85 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Restructure HPT entry creation code
This restructures the code that creates HPT (hashed page table)
entries so that it can be called in situations where we don't have a
struct vcpu pointer, only a struct kvm pointer.  It also fixes a bug
where kvmppc_map_vrma() would corrupt the guest R4 value.

Most of the work of kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter is now done by a new
function, kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter, which itself calls another new
function, kvmppc_do_h_enter, which contains most of the old
kvmppc_h_enter.  The new kvmppc_do_h_enter takes explicit arguments
for the place to return the HPTE index, the Linux page tables to use,
and whether it is being called in real mode, thus removing the need
for it to have the vcpu as an argument.

Currently kvmppc_map_vrma creates the VRMA (virtual real mode area)
HPTEs by calling kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter, which is designed primarily
to handle H_ENTER hcalls from the guest that need to pin a page of
memory.  Since H_ENTER returns the index of the created HPTE in R4,
kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter updates the guest R4, corrupting the guest R4
in the case when it gets called from kvmppc_map_vrma on the first
VCPU_RUN ioctl.  With this, kvmppc_map_vrma instead calls
kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter with the address of a dummy word as the
place to store the HPTE index, thus avoiding corrupting the guest R4.

70bddfefbd KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix calculation of guest phys address for MMIO emulation
In the case where the host kernel is using a 64kB base page size and
the guest uses a 4k HPTE (hashed page table entry) to map an emulated
MMIO device, we were calculating the guest physical address wrongly.
We were calculating a gfn as the guest physical address shifted right
16 bits (PAGE_SHIFT) but then only adding back in 12 bits from the
effective address, since the HPTE had a 4k page size.  Thus the gpa
reported to userspace was missing 4 bits.

Instead, we now compute the guest physical address from the HPTE
without reference to the host page size, and then compute the gfn
by shifting the gpa right PAGE_SHIFT bits.

dfe49dbd1f KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle memory slot deletion and modification correctly
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

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.

a66b48c3a3 KVM: PPC: Move kvm->arch.slot_phys into memslot.arch
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

2c9097e4c1 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Take the SRCU read lock before looking up memslots
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.

84504ef386 KVM: MMU: Make kvm_handle_hva() handle range of addresses
When guest's memory is backed by THP pages, MMU notifier needs to call
kvm_unmap_hva(), which in turn leads to kvm_handle_hva(), in a loop to
invalidate a range of pages which constitute one huge page:

  for each page
    for each memslot
      if page is in memslot
        unmap using rmap

This means although every page in that range is expected to be found in
the same memslot, we are forced to check unrelated memslots many times.
If the guest has more memslots, the situation will become worse.

Furthermore, if the range does not include any pages in the guest's
memory, the loop over the pages will just consume extra time.

This patch, together with the following patches, solves this problem by
introducing kvm_handle_hva_range() which makes the loop look like this:

  for each memslot
    for each page in memslot
      unmap using rmap

In this new processing, the actual work is converted to a loop over rmap
which is much more cache friendly than before.

32fad281c0 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make the guest hash table size configurable
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).

de6c0b02d4 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix refcounting of hugepages
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.

didn't allow write access to usermode) or handled by switching to
kernel context and calling kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault, which will then
request write access to the page and update the actual HPTE.

342d3db763 KVM: PPC: Implement MMU notifiers for Book3S HV guests
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.
