The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
to a SPR.
The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
- starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
- 32kb for L2
- 128kb for L2+L3
- Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
- Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)
We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.
To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
- starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
- table size (no data, until end of table)
- prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
32 cycles)
The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
a physical CPU.
The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
so we just generate needless memory operations.
This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
to be useful.
Benchmark 1:
- 16 core POWER8
- 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
- No split core/SMT
- two guests running sysbench memory test.
sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
- one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/
This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.
In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.
benchmark 2:
- Same VM config as benchmark 1
- all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark
This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
many times for cachelines to be pulled in)
The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.
benchmark 3:
- same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
- two idle guests
- 1 guest running STREAM benchmark
This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).
benchmark 4:
- same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
- two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
workload
- one guest running STREAM benchmark.
Similar improvements to benchmark 3.
benchmark 5:
- 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04
- Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4)
- STREAM benchmark
In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board
of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
one_reg interface. This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
upper 32 bits. The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
reduces performance in the guest.
We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
since that would break existing userspace binaries. Instead we define
a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit. Userspace can still use
the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
as well.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.
Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.
The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.
When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.
No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got
a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.
There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
still want to sort through and test.
The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the
kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly
thanks to Anton and Rusty.
We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that
traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This
meant more churn that just endian fixes.
This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.
There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
*will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
(the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).
And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."

On recent IBM Power CPUs, while the hashed page table is looked up using
the page size from the segmentation hardware (i.e. the SLB), it is
possible to have the HPT entry indicate a larger page size. Thus for
example it is possible to put a 16MB page in a 64kB segment, but since
the hash lookup is done using a 64kB page size, it may be necessary to
put multiple entries in the HPT for a single 16MB page. This
capability is called mixed page-size segment (MPSS). With MPSS,
there are two relevant page sizes: the base page size, which is the
size used in searching the HPT, and the actual page size, which is the
size indicated in the HPT entry. [ Note that the actual page size is
always >= base page size ].
We use "ibm,segment-page-sizes" device tree node to advertise
the MPSS support to PAPR guest. The penc encoding indicates whether
we support a specific combination of base page size and actual
page size in the same segment. We also use the penc value in the
LP encoding of HPTE entry.
This patch exposes MPSS support to KVM guest by advertising the
feature via "ibm,segment-page-sizes". It also adds the necessary changes
to decode the base page size and the actual page size correctly from the
HPTE entry.

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.
When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
native endian load/store operations.
Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.
For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.
For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
functions that evaluate this variable.

To support split core on POWER8 we need to modify various parts of the
KVM code to use threads_per_subcore instead of threads_per_core. On
systems that do not support split core threads_per_subcore ==
threads_per_core and these changes are a nop.
We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT.
This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with
a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current
threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a
thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split
core mode.
Although threads_per_subcore can change during the life of the system,
the commit that enables that will ensure that threads_per_subcore does
not change during the life of a KVM VM.

When the guest does an MMIO write which is handled successfully by an
ioeventfd, ioeventfd_write() returns 0 (success) and
kvmppc_handle_store() returns EMULATE_DONE. Then
kvmppc_emulate_mmio() converts EMULATE_DONE to RESUME_GUEST_NV and
this causes an exit from the loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), causing an
exit back to userspace with a bogus exit reason code, typically
causing userspace (e.g. qemu) to crash with a message about an unknown
exit code.
This adds handling of RESUME_GUEST_NV in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv() in order
to fix that. For generality, we define a helper to check for either
of the return-to-guest codes we use, RESUME_GUEST and RESUME_GUEST_NV,
to make it easy to check for either and provide one place to update if
any other return-to-guest code gets defined in future.
Since it only affects Book3S HV for now, the helper is added to
the kvm_book3s.h header file.
We use the helper in two places in kvmppc_run_core() as well for
future-proofing, though we don't see RESUME_GUEST_NV in either place
at present.

The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer
control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It
contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user,
kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint
interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode
accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow
both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest.
This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX.
PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR
and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of
H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR
implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the
DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface.
For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add
"hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions
property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates
the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then
userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified
DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the
old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should
still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests
cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't
requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set
DABRX_BTI.
The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work
on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that
know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but
guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR.
For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values
on POWER8.

On a threaded processor such as POWER7, we group VCPUs into virtual
cores and arrange that the VCPUs in a virtual core run on the same
physical core. Currently we don't enforce any correspondence between
virtual thread numbers within a virtual core and physical thread
numbers. Physical threads are allocated starting at 0 on a first-come
first-served basis to runnable virtual threads (VCPUs).
POWER8 implements a new "msgsndp" instruction which guest kernels can
use to interrupt other threads in the same core or sub-core. Since
the instruction takes the destination physical thread ID as a parameter,
it becomes necessary to align the physical thread IDs with the virtual
thread IDs, that is, to make sure virtual thread N within a virtual
core always runs on physical thread N.
This means that it's possible that thread 0, which is where we call
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, may end up running some other vcpu than the
one whose task called kvmppc_run_core(), or it may end up running
no vcpu at all, if for example thread 0 of the virtual core is
currently executing in userspace. However, we do need thread 0
to be responsible for switching the MMU -- a previous version of
this patch that had other threads switching the MMU was found to
be responsible for occasional memory corruption and machine check
interrupts in the guest on POWER7 machines.
To accommodate this, we no longer pass the vcpu pointer to
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, but instead let the assembly code load it from
the PACA. Since the assembly code will need to know the kvm pointer
and the thread ID for threads which don't have a vcpu, we move the
thread ID into the PACA and we add a kvm pointer to the virtual core
structure.
In the case where thread 0 has no vcpu to run, it still calls into
kvmppc_hv_entry in order to do the MMU switch, and then naps until
either its vcpu is ready to run in the guest, or some other thread
needs to exit the guest. In the latter case, thread 0 jumps to the
code that switches the MMU back to the host. This control flow means
that now we switch the MMU before loading any guest vcpu state.
Similarly, on guest exit we now save all the guest vcpu state before
switching the MMU back to the host. This has required substantial
code movement, making the diff rather large.

This help us to identify whether we are running with hypervisor mode KVM
enabled. The change is needed so that we can have both HV and PR kvm
enabled in the same kernel.
If both HV and PR KVM are included, interrupts come in to the HV version
of the kvmppc_interrupt code, which then jumps to the PR handler,
renamed to kvmppc_interrupt_pr, if the guest is a PR guest.
Allowing both PR and HV in the same kernel required some changes to
kvm_dev_ioctl_check_extension(), since the values returned now can't
be selected with #ifdefs as much as previously. We look at is_hv_enabled
to return the right value when checking for capabilities.For capabilities that
are only provided by HV KVM, we return the HV value only if
is_hv_enabled is true. For capabilities provided by PR KVM but not HV,
we return the PR value only if is_hv_enabled is false.
NOTE: in later patch we replace is_hv_enabled with a static inline

This enables us to use the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) on
POWER7 to put the processor into architecture 2.05 compatibility mode
when running a guest. In this mode the new instructions and registers
that were introduced on POWER7 are disabled in user mode. This
includes all the VSX facilities plus several other instructions such
as ldbrx, stdbrx, popcntw, popcntd, etc.
To select this mode, we have a new register accessible through the
set/get_one_reg interface, called KVM_REG_PPC_ARCH_COMPAT. Setting
this to zero gives the full set of capabilities of the processor.
Setting it to one of the "logical" PVR values defined in PAPR puts
the vcpu into the compatibility mode for the corresponding
architecture level. The supported values are:
0x0f000002 Architecture 2.05 (POWER6)
0x0f000003 Architecture 2.06 (POWER7)
0x0f100003 Architecture 2.06+ (POWER7+)
Since the PCR is per-core, the architecture compatibility level and
the corresponding PCR value are stored in the struct kvmppc_vcore, and
are therefore shared between all vcpus in a virtual core.

Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
POWER7 and later IBM server processors have a register called the
Program Priority Register (PPR), which controls the priority of
each hardware CPU SMT thread, and affects how fast it runs compared
to other SMT threads. This priority can be controlled by writing to
the PPR or by use of a set of instructions of the form or rN,rN,rN
which are otherwise no-ops but have been defined to set the priority
to particular levels.
This adds code to context switch the PPR when entering and exiting
guests and to make the PPR value accessible through the SET/GET_ONE_REG
interface. When entering the guest, we set the PPR as late as
possible, because if we are setting a low thread priority it will
make the code run slowly from that point on. Similarly, the
first-level interrupt handlers save the PPR value in the PACA very
early on, and set the thread priority to the medium level, so that
the interrupt handling code runs at a reasonable speed.

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.

The H_CONFER hypercall is used when a guest vcpu is spinning on a lock

This allows guests to have a different timebase origin from the host.
This is needed for migration, where a guest can migrate from one host
to another and the two hosts might have a different timebase origin.
However, the timebase seen by the guest must not go backwards, and
should go forwards only by a small amount corresponding to the time
taken for the migration.
Therefore this provides a new per-vcpu value accessed via the one_reg
interface using the new KVM_REG_PPC_TB_OFFSET identifier. This value
defaults to 0 and is not modified by KVM. On entering the guest, this
value is added onto the timebase, and on exiting the guest, it is
subtracted from the timebase.
This is only supported for recent POWER hardware which has the TBU40
(timebase upper 40 bits) register. Writing to the TBU40 register only
alters the upper 40 bits of the timebase, leaving the lower 24 bits
unchanged. This provides a way to modify the timebase for guest
migration without disturbing the synchronization of the timebase
registers across CPU cores. The kernel rounds up the value given
to a multiple of 2^24.
Timebase values stored in KVM structures (struct kvm_vcpu, struct
kvmppc_vcore, etc.) are stored as host timebase values. The timebase
values in the dispatch trace log need to be guest timebase values,
however, since that is read directly by the guest. This moves the
setting of vcpu->arch.dec_expires on guest exit to a point after we
have restored the host timebase so that vcpu->arch.dec_expires is a
host timebase value.

Currently we are not saving and restoring the SIAR and SDAR registers in
the PMU (performance monitor unit) on guest entry and exit. The result
is that performance monitoring tools in the guest could get false
information about where a program was executing and what data it was
accessing at the time of a performance monitor interrupt. This fixes
it by saving and restoring these registers along with the other PMU
registers on guest entry/exit.
This also provides a way for userspace to access these values for a
vcpu via the one_reg interface.

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().

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating
the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns
information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual
cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it
reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it
also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the
interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just
return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of
virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code.
These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in

This streamlines our handling of external interrupts that come in
while we're in the guest. First, when waking up a hardware thread
that was napping, we split off the "napping due to H_CEDE" case
earlier, and use the code that handles an external interrupt (0x500)
in the guest to handle that too. Secondly, the code that handles
those external interrupts now checks if any other thread is exiting
to the host before bouncing an external interrupt to the guest, and
also checks that there is actually an external interrupt pending for
the guest before setting the LPCR MER bit (mediated external request).
This also makes sure that we clear the "ceded" flag when we handle a
wakeup from cede in real mode, and fixes a potential infinite loop
in kvmppc_run_vcpu() which can occur if we ever end up with the ceded
flag set but MSR[EE] off.

Currently, we wake up a CPU by sending a host IPI with
smp_send_reschedule() to thread 0 of that core, which will take all
threads out of the guest, and cause them to re-evaluate their
interrupt status on the way back in.
This adds a mechanism to differentiate real host IPIs from IPIs sent
by KVM for guest threads to poke each other, in order to target the
guest threads precisely when possible and avoid that global switch of
the core to host state.
We then use this new facility in the in-kernel XICS code.

This adds in-kernel emulation of the XICS (eXternal Interrupt
Controller Specification) interrupt controller specified by PAPR, for
both HV and PR KVM guests.
The XICS emulation supports up to 1048560 interrupt sources.
Interrupt source numbers below 16 are reserved; 0 is used to mean no
interrupt and 2 is used for IPIs. Internally these are represented in
blocks of 1024, called ICS (interrupt controller source) entities, but
that is not visible to userspace.
Each vcpu gets one ICP (interrupt controller presentation) entity,
used to store the per-vcpu state such as vcpu priority, pending
interrupt state, IPI request, etc.
This does not include any API or any way to connect vcpus to their
ICP state; that will be added in later patches.
This is based on an initial implementation by Michael Ellerman

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.

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.

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.

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.

Currently the code that accounts stolen time tends to overestimate the
stolen time, and will sometimes report more stolen time in a DTL
(dispatch trace log) entry than has elapsed since the last DTL entry.
This can cause guests to underflow the user or system time measured
for some tasks, leading to ridiculous CPU percentages and total runtimes
being reported by top and other utilities.
In addition, the current code was designed for the previous policy where
a vcore would only run when all the vcpus in it were runnable, and so
only counted stolen time on a per-vcore basis. Now that a vcore can
run while some of the vcpus in it are doing other things in the kernel
(e.g. handling a page fault), we need to count the time when a vcpu task
is preempted while it is not running as part of a vcore as stolen also.
To do this, we bring back the BUSY_IN_HOST vcpu state and extend the
vcpu_load/put functions to count preemption time while the vcpu is
in that state. Handling the transitions between the RUNNING and
BUSY_IN_HOST states requires checking and updating two variables
(accumulated time stolen and time last preempted), so we add a new
spinlock, vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock. This protects both the per-vcpu
stolen/preempt-time variables, and the per-vcore variables while this
vcpu is running the vcore.
Finally, we now don't count time spent in userspace as stolen time.
The task could be executing in userspace on behalf of the vcpu, or
it could be preempted, or the vcpu could be genuinely stopped. Since
we have no way of dividing up the time between these cases, we don't
count any of it as stolen.

Currently the Book3S HV code implements a policy on multi-threaded
processors (i.e. POWER7) that requires all of the active vcpus in a
virtual core to be ready to run before we run the virtual core.
However, that causes problems on reset, because reset stops all vcpus
except vcpu 0, and can also reduce throughput since all four threads
in a virtual core have to wait whenever any one of them hits a
hypervisor page fault.
This relaxes the policy, allowing the virtual core to run as soon as
any vcpu in it is runnable. With this, the KVMPPC_VCPU_STOPPED state
and the KVMPPC_VCPU_BUSY_IN_HOST state have been combined into a single
KVMPPC_VCPU_NOTREADY state, since we no longer need to distinguish
between them.

If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads
in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is
possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without
first pulling them all out of the guest. Currently this only happens
rarely, when a vcpu is first started. This fixes some bugs and
omissions in the code in this case.
First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make
a DTL entry for it. Secondly, if it comes along while the master
vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the
master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core. To handle this correctly
we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING. Thirdly, there is
a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req
before waiting to see it get to nap. A latecomer thread could have
its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore
never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap
timeouts.

There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable
threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding
the vcore spinlock. This extends the places where we hold the vcore
spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list.
Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault,
this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to
kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock.
In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether
all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the
caller has already done that. The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't
actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that.
The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we
never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or

When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in
single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of
the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one
active hardware thread. This is because of the hardware restriction
in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core
must be in the same logical partition. Complying with this restriction
is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one
hardware thread is active.
This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to
make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than
thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists. The KVM
code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the
secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be
sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

The PAPR paravirtualization interface lets guests register three
different types of per-vCPU buffer areas in its memory for communication
with the hypervisor. These are called virtual processor areas (VPAs).
Currently the hypercalls to register and unregister VPAs are handled
by KVM in the kernel, and userspace has no way to know about or save
and restore these registrations across a migration.
This adds "register" codes for these three areas that userspace can
use with the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG ioctls to see what addresses have
been registered, and to register or unregister them. This will be
needed for guest hibernation and migration, and is also needed so
that userspace can unregister them on reset (otherwise we corrupt
guest memory after reboot by writing to the VPAs registered by the
previous kernel).
The "register" for the VPA is a 64-bit value containing the address,
since the length of the VPA is fixed. The "registers" for the SLB
shadow buffer and dispatch trace log (DTL) are 128 bits long,
consisting of the guest physical address in the high (first) 64 bits
and the length in the low 64 bits.
This also fixes a bug where we were calling init_vpa unconditionally,
leading to an oops when unregistering the VPA.

Most of these are implemented in common Book 3S code, except for VSX

the FP registers are the upper halves of the VSX registers vsr0 - vsr31.
PR KVM stores vsr0 - vsr31 in two halves, with the upper halves in the

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
kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region, since we need to initialize its
arch.slot_phys member on Book3S HV.

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.

At the moment we call kvmppc_pin_guest_page() in kvmppc_update_vpa()
with two spinlocks held: the vcore lock and the vcpu->vpa_update_lock.
This is not good, since kvmppc_pin_guest_page() calls down_read() and
get_user_pages_fast(), both of which can sleep. This bug was introduced
in 2e25aa5f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make virtual processor area
registration more robust").
This arranges to drop those spinlocks before calling
kvmppc_pin_guest_page() and re-take them afterwards. Dropping the
vcore lock in kvmppc_run_core() means we have to set the vcore_state
field to VCORE_RUNNING before we drop the lock, so that other vcpus
won't try to run this vcore.

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).

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.

When reading and writing SPRs, every SPR emulation piece had to read
or write the respective GPR the value was read from or stored in itself.
This approach is pretty prone to failure. What if we accidentally
implement mfspr emulation where we just do "break" and nothing else?
Suddenly we would get a random value in the return register - which is
always a bad idea.
So let's consolidate the generic code paths and only give the core
specific SPR handling code readily made variables to read/write from/to.
Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything, but it increases the
readability of the code and makes is less prone to bugs.

This adds code to measure "stolen" time per virtual core in units of
timebase ticks, and to report the stolen time to the guest using the
dispatch trace log (DTL). The guest can register an area of memory
for the DTL for a given vcpu. The DTL is a ring buffer where KVM
fills in one entry every time it enters the guest for that vcpu.
Stolen time is measured as time when the virtual core is not running,
either because the vcore is not runnable (e.g. some of its vcpus are
executing elsewhere in the kernel or in userspace), or when the vcpu
thread that is running the vcore is preempted. This includes time
when all the vcpus are idle (i.e. have executed the H_CEDE hypercall),
which is OK because the guest accounts stolen time while idle as idle
time.
Each vcpu keeps a record of how much stolen time has been reported to
the guest for that vcpu so far. When we are about to enter the guest,
we create a new DTL entry (if the guest vcpu has a DTL) and report the
difference between total stolen time for the vcore and stolen time
reported so far for the vcpu as the "enqueue to dispatch" time in the
DTL entry.

The PAPR API allows three sorts of per-virtual-processor areas to be
registered (VPA, SLB shadow buffer, and dispatch trace log), and
furthermore, these can be registered and unregistered for another
virtual CPU. Currently we just update the vcpu fields pointing to
these areas at the time of registration or unregistration. If this
is done on another vcpu, there is the possibility that the target vcpu
is using those fields at the time and could end up using a bogus
pointer and corrupting memory.
This fixes the race by making the target cpu itself do the update, so
we can be sure that the update happens at a time when the fields
aren't being used. Each area now has a struct kvmppc_vpa which is
used to manage these updates. There is also a spinlock which protects
access to all of the kvmppc_vpa structs, other than to the pinned_addr
fields. (We could have just taken the spinlock when using the vpa,
slb_shadow or dtl fields, but that would mean taking the spinlock on
every guest entry and exit.)
This also changes 'struct dtl' (which was undefined) to 'struct dtl_entry',
which is what the rest of the kernel uses.

Currently on POWER7, if we are running the guest on a core and we don't
need all the hardware threads, we do nothing to ensure that the unused
threads aren't executing in the kernel (other than checking that they
are offline). We just assume they're napping and we don't do anything
to stop them trying to enter the kernel while the guest is running.
This means that a stray IPI can wake up the hardware thread and it will
then try to enter the kernel, but since the core is in guest context,
it will execute code from the guest in hypervisor mode once it turns the
MMU on, which tends to lead to crashes or hangs in the host.
This fixes the problem by adding two new one-byte flags in the
kvmppc_host_state structure in the PACA which are used to interlock
between the primary thread and the unused secondary threads when entering
the guest. With these flags, the primary thread can ensure that the
unused secondaries are not already in kernel mode (i.e. handling a stray
IPI) and then indicate that they should not try to enter the kernel
if they do get woken for any reason. Instead they will go into KVM code,
find that there is no vcpu to run, acknowledge and clear the IPI and go
back to nap mode.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

from the Book3s PR case, this moves the existing implementation from

That implementation calls kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() to do the actual
work by calling kvm_test_clear_dirty on each page. It iterates over
the HPTEs, clearing the C bit if set, and returns 1 if any C bit was

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.

This provides the low-level support for MMIO emulation in Book3S HV
guests. When the guest tries to map a page which is not covered by
any memslot, that page is taken to be an MMIO emulation page. Instead
of inserting a valid HPTE, we insert an HPTE that has the valid bit
clear but another hypervisor software-use bit set, which we call
HPTE_V_ABSENT, to indicate that this is an absent page. An
absent page is treated much like a valid page as far as guest hcalls
(H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ etc.) are concerned, except of course that
an absent HPTE doesn't need to be invalidated with tlbie since it
was never valid as far as the hardware is concerned.
When the guest accesses a page for which there is an absent HPTE, it
will take a hypervisor data storage interrupt (HDSI) since we now set
the VPM1 bit in the LPCR. Our HDSI handler for HPTE-not-present faults
looks up the hash table and if it finds an absent HPTE mapping the
requested virtual address, will switch to kernel mode and handle the
fault in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault(), which at present just calls
kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio() to set up the MMIO emulation.
This is based on an earlier patch by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, but since
heavily reworked.

This relaxes the requirement that the guest memory be provided as
16MB huge pages, allowing it to be provided as normal memory, i.e.
in pages of PAGE_SIZE bytes (4k or 64k). To allow this, we index
the kvm->arch.slot_phys[] arrays with a small page index, even if
huge pages are being used, and use the low-order 5 bits of each
entry to store the order of the enclosing page with respect to
normal pages, i.e. log_2(enclosing_page_size / PAGE_SIZE).

This removes the code from kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region() that
looked up the VMA for the region being added and called hva_to_page
to get the pfns for the memory. We have no guarantee that there will
be anything mapped there at the time of the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
ioctl call; userspace can do that ioctl and then map memory into the
region later.
Instead we defer looking up the pfn for each memory page until it is
needed, which generally means when the guest does an H_ENTER hcall on
the page. Since we can't call get_user_pages in real mode, if we don't
already have the pfn for the page, kvmppc_h_enter() will return
H_TOO_HARD and we then call kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter() once we get back
to kernel context. That calls kvmppc_get_guest_page() to get the pfn
for the page, and then calls back to kvmppc_h_enter() to redo the HPTE
insertion.
When the first vcpu starts executing, we need to have the RMO or VRMA
region mapped so that the guest's real mode accesses will work. Thus
we now have a check in kvmppc_vcpu_run() to see if the RMO/VRMA is set
up and if not, call kvmppc_hv_setup_rma(). It checks if the memslot
starting at guest physical 0 now has RMO memory mapped there; if so it
sets it up for the guest, otherwise on POWER7 it sets up the VRMA.
The function that does that, kvmppc_map_vrma, is now a bit simpler,
as it calls kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter instead of creating the HPTE itself.
Since we are now potentially updating entries in the slot_phys[]
arrays from multiple vcpu threads, we now have a spinlock protecting
those updates to ensure that we don't lose track of any references
to pages.

This adds two new functions, kvmppc_pin_guest_page() and
kvmppc_unpin_guest_page(), and uses them to pin the guest pages where
the guest has registered areas of memory for the hypervisor to update,
(i.e. the per-cpu virtual processor areas, SLB shadow buffers and
dispatch trace logs) and then unpin them when they are no longer
required.
Although it is not strictly necessary to pin the pages at this point,
since all guest pages are already pinned, later commits in this series
will mean that guest pages aren't all pinned.

This allocates an array for each memory slot that is added to store
the physical addresses of the pages in the slot. This array is
vmalloc'd and accessed in kvmppc_h_enter using real_vmalloc_addr().
This allows us to remove the ram_pginfo field from the kvm_arch
struct, and removes the 64GB guest RAM limit that we had.
We use the low-order bits of the array entries to store a flag
indicating that we have done get_page on the corresponding page,
and therefore need to call put_page when we are finished with the
page. Currently this is set for all pages except those in our
special RMO regions.

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.

With a KVM guest operating in SMT4 mode (i.e. 4 hardware threads per
core), whenever a CPU goes idle, we have to pull all the other
hardware threads in the core out of the guest, because the H_CEDE
hcall is handled in the kernel. This is inefficient.
This adds code to book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S to handle the H_CEDE hcall
in real mode. When a guest vcpu does an H_CEDE hcall, we now only
exit to the kernel if all the other vcpus in the same core are also
idle. Otherwise we mark this vcpu as napping, save state that could
be lost in nap mode (mainly GPRs and FPRs), and execute the nap
instruction. When the thread wakes up, because of a decrementer or
external interrupt, we come back in at kvm_start_guest (from the
system reset interrupt vector), find the `napping' flag set in the
paca, and go to the resume path.
This has some other ramifications. First, when starting a core, we
now start all the threads, both those that are immediately runnable and
those that are idle. This is so that we don't have to pull all the
threads out of the guest when an idle thread gets a decrementer interrupt
and wants to start running. In fact the idle threads will all start
with the H_CEDE hcall returning; being idle they will just do another
H_CEDE immediately and go to nap mode.
This required some changes to kvmppc_run_core() and kvmppc_run_vcpu().
These functions have been restructured to make them simpler and clearer.
We introduce a level of indirection in the wait queue that gets woken
when external and decrementer interrupts get generated for a vcpu, so
that we can have the 4 vcpus in a vcore using the same wait queue.
We need this because the 4 vcpus are being handled by one thread.
Secondly, when we need to exit from the guest to the kernel, we now
have to generate an IPI for any napping threads, because an HDEC
interrupt doesn't wake up a napping thread.
Thirdly, we now need to be able to handle virtual external interrupts
and decrementer interrupts becoming pending while a thread is napping,
and deliver those interrupts to the guest when the thread wakes.
This is done in kvmppc_cede_reentry, just before fast_guest_return.
Finally, since we are not using the generic kvm_vcpu_block for book3s_hv,
and hence not calling kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable, we can remove the #ifdef
from kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable.

This adds support for running KVM guests in supervisor mode on those
PPC970 processors that have a usable hypervisor mode. Unfortunately,
Apple G5 machines have supervisor mode disabled (MSR[HV] is forced to
1), but the YDL PowerStation does have a usable hypervisor mode.
There are several differences between the PPC970 and POWER7 in how
guests are managed. These differences are accommodated using the
CPU_FTR_ARCH_201 (PPC970) and CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 (POWER7) CPU feature
bits. Notably, on PPC970:
* The LPCR, LPID or RMOR registers don't exist, and the functions of
those registers are provided by bits in HID4 and one bit in HID0.
* External interrupts can be directed to the hypervisor, but unlike
POWER7 they are masked by MSR[EE] in non-hypervisor modes and use
SRR0/1 not HSRR0/1.
* There is no virtual RMA (VRMA) mode; the guest must use an RMO
(real mode offset) area.
* The TLB entries are not tagged with the LPID, so it is necessary to
flush the whole TLB on partition switch. Furthermore, when switching
partitions we have to ensure that no other CPU is executing the tlbie
or tlbsync instructions in either the old or the new partition,
otherwise undefined behaviour can occur.
* The PMU has 8 counters (PMC registers) rather than 6.
* The DSCR, PURR, SPURR, AMR, AMOR, UAMOR registers don't exist.
* The SLB has 64 entries rather than 32.
* There is no mediated external interrupt facility, so if we switch to
a guest that has a virtual external interrupt pending but the guest
has MSR[EE] = 0, we have to arrange to have an interrupt pending for
it so that we can get control back once it re-enables interrupts. We
do that by sending ourselves an IPI with smp_send_reschedule after
hard-disabling interrupts.

This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to
indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate
that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add
another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01
and set that for PPC970 and derivatives.
Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a
hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode
is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in
supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1
bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that
hypervisor mode is not useful.
Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that
only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206)
The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will
be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the
provided mask are set.
Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the
ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called
if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to
run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support
the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode
Offset (RMO) facility. These processors require a physically
contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest. When the guest does
an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a
limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset
value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes
the real address for the access. The size of the RMA has to be one of
a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
and some larger powers of 2.
Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically
contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we
allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator. The
size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and
kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options.
KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability
of the pool of preallocated RMAs. The capability value is 1 if the
processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports
the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest.
This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the
pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA. It
also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure.
Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
ioctl calls from userspace. To cope with this, we now preallocate the
kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient
for up to 64GB of guest memory. Subsequently we will get rid of this
array and use memory associated with each memslot instead.
This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into
host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level
to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region. Also, instead of having to look
up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check
that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB. However, if we are
adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling
get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the
RMA.
Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it
inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value
in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor
uses RMA or VRMA for the guest. This moves the LPCR value into the
kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request)
bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in
assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external
interrupt request.

This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one
hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads
per core on POWER7. The host still has to run single-threaded.
This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT
capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability
is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4.
To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads
active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined.
This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then
wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while
they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send
them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in
arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage
we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and
we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will
need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base
physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys()
for use in the low-level KVM book3s code.
When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core.
The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the
number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported
to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes
to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu
numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core.
We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute
the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently
implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads
are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere
in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU
by the other vcpus.
When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the
vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep
until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu,
or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu
thread goes from busy in host state to blocked).
It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g.
because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already
running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as
the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest.
We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start
to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via
the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go
into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it
is ready to actually enter the guest.
Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread
number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus
as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered
hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all
the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are
runnable.

This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR
paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by
implementing it in real mode. H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual
IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the
PAPR interface.
Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The
ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly
created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as
userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the
guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number
of host/guest context switches during guest IO.
There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu
to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used
most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness
when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the
future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a
checkpoint resume or migration.

This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel,
either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode,
or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full
kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if
possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will
become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition
switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of
the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel
linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU
is off.
This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode:
H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table
H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table
H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table
H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE
H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table
H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register
Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel:
H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives
H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu
H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA)
The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in
the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can
only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space.

This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means
that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means
that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent
performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.
This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing
Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR
hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
to include/linux/kvm.h.
Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
(i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
do one or the other.
This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
restriction.
With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
to those exception handlers.
We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
interrupts, so we have to handle those.
In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.
The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
(partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run
in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.
This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We
require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that
we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.
This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.
