On POWER9, the Client Architecture Support (CAS) negotiation process
determines whether the guest operates in XIVE Legacy compatibility or
in XIVE exploitation mode. Now that we have initial guest support for
the XIVE interrupt controller, let's inform the hypervisor what we can
do.
The platform advertises the XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the
property "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1 :
- 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only
- 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only
- 0b10 XIVE legacy or exploitation mode
The OS asks for XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the property
"ibm,architecture-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1:
- 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only
- 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only

The H_INT_ESB hcall() is used to issue a load or store to the ESB page
instead of using the MMIO pages. This can be used as a workaround on
some HW issues. The OS knows that this hcall should be used on an
interrupt source when the ESB hcall flag is set to 1 in the hcall
H_INT_GET_SOURCE_INFO.
To maintain the frontier between the xive frontend and backend, we
introduce a new xive operation 'esb_rw' to be used in the routines
doing memory accesses on the ESBs.

This is the framework for using XIVE in a PowerVM guest. The support
is very similar to the native one in a much simpler form.
Each source is associated with an Event State Buffer (ESB). This is a
two bit state machine which is used to trigger events. The bits are
named "P" (pending) and "Q" (queued) and can be controlled by MMIO.
The Guest OS registers event (or notifications) queues on which the HW
will post event data for a target to notify.
Instead of OPAL calls, a set of Hypervisors call are used to configure
the interrupt sources and the event/notification queues of the guest:
- H_INT_GET_SOURCE_INFO
used to obtain the address of the MMIO page of the Event State
Buffer (PQ bits) entry associated with the source.
- H_INT_SET_SOURCE_CONFIG
assigns a source to a "target".
- H_INT_GET_SOURCE_CONFIG
determines to which "target" and "priority" is assigned to a source
- H_INT_GET_QUEUE_INFO
returns the address of the notification management page associated
with the specified "target" and "priority".
- H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG
sets or resets the event queue for a given "target" and "priority".
It is also used to set the notification config associated with the
queue, only unconditional notification for the moment. Reset is
performed with a queue size of 0 and queueing is disabled in that
case.
- H_INT_GET_QUEUE_CONFIG
returns the queue settings for a given "target" and "priority".
- H_INT_RESET
resets all of the partition's interrupt exploitation structures to
their initial state, losing all configuration set via the hcalls
H_INT_SET_SOURCE_CONFIG and H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG.
- H_INT_SYNC
issue a synchronisation on a source to make sure sure all
notifications have reached their queue.
As for XICS, the XIVE interface for the guest is described in the
device tree under the "interrupt-controller" node. A couple of new
properties are specific to XIVE :
- "reg"
contains the base address and size of the thread interrupt
managnement areas (TIMA), also called rings, for the User level and
for the Guest OS level. Only the Guest OS level is taken into
account today.
- "ibm,xive-eq-sizes"
the size of the event queues. One cell per size supported, contains
log2 of size, in ascending order.
- "ibm,xive-lisn-ranges"
the interrupt numbers ranges assigned to the guest. These are
allocated using a simple bitmap.
and also :
- "/ibm,plat-res-int-priorities"
contains a list of priorities that the hypervisor has reserved for
its own use.
Tested with a QEMU XIVE model for pseries and with the Power hypervisor.

operates on bytes, making it unsuitable for handling word without

little-endian. In little-endian mode, the partial word at the

the register. Additionally, this fixes a bug in the previous

Note that this only works correctly on processors with "true"

At present, the analyse_instr/emulate_step code checks for the
relevant MSR_FP/VEC/VSX bit being set when a FP/VMX/VSX load
or store is decoded, but doesn't recheck the bit before reading or
writing the relevant FP/VMX/VSX register in emulate_step().
Since we don't have preemption disabled, it is possible that we get
preempted between checking the MSR bit and doing the register access.
If that happened, then the registers would have been saved to the
thread_struct for the current process. Accesses to the CPU registers
would then potentially read stale values, or write values that would
never be seen by the user process.
Another way that the registers can become non-live is if a page
fault occurs when accessing user memory, and the page fault code
calls a copy routine that wants to use the VMX or VSX registers.
To fix this, the code for all the FP/VMX/VSX loads gets restructured
so that it forms an image in a local variable of the desired register
contents, then disables preemption, checks the MSR bit and either
sets the CPU register or writes the value to the thread struct.
Similarly, the code for stores checks the MSR bit, copies either the
CPU register or the thread struct to a local variable, then reenables
preemption and then copies the register image to memory.
If the instruction being emulated is in the kernel, then we must not
use the register values in the thread_struct. In this case, if the
relevant MSR enable bit is not set, then emulate_step refuses to
emulate the instruction.

At the moment, emulation of loads and stores of up to 8 bytes to
unaligned addresses on a little-endian system uses a sequence of
single-byte loads or stores to memory. This is rather inefficient,
and the code is hard to follow because it has many ifdefs.
In addition, the Power ISA has requirements on how unaligned accesses
are performed, which are not met by doing all accesses as
sequences of single-byte accesses.
Emulation of VSX loads and stores uses __copy_{to,from}_user,
which means the emulation code has no control on the size of
accesses.
To simplify this, we add new copy_mem_in() and copy_mem_out()
functions for accessing memory. These use a sequence of the largest
possible aligned accesses, up to 8 bytes (or 4 on 32-bit systems),
to copy memory between a local buffer and user memory. We then
rewrite {read,write}_mem_unaligned and the VSX load/store
emulation using these new functions.
These new functions also simplify the code in do_fp_load() and
do_fp_store() for the unaligned cases.

current thread_struct and the FP/VMX/VSX enable bits in the MSR
image in the pt_regs are zero. Since analyse_instr() doesn't make

The analyse_instr function currently doesn't just work out what an
instruction does, it also executes those instructions whose effect
is only to update CPU registers that are stored in struct pt_regs.
This is undesirable because optprobes uses analyse_instr to work out
if an instruction could be successfully emulated in future.
This changes analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs; instead it
stores information in the instruction_op structure to indicate what
registers (GPRs, CR, XER, LR) would be set and what value they would
be set to. A companion function called emulate_update_regs() can
then use that information to update a pt_regs struct appropriately.

Making the scheduler aware of this cache sharing allows the scheduler to

share a core then one task can be migrated to the paired core to improve
throughput. Under the existing three level topology the task could be

property from the devicetree to group logical CPUs. Currently the DT
search for this property is open-coded in smp.c and this functionality
is a duplication of what's in cpu_to_chip_id() already. This patch
removes the existing search in favor of that.
It's worth mentioning that the semantics of the search are different
in cpu_to_chip_id(). When there is no ibm,chipid in the CPUs node it
will also search /cpus and / for the property, but this should not
effect the output topology.

mpsc.c and mpc52xx-psc.c are platform-specific serial drivers, and
should be compiled for the respective platforms only.

.llong is an undocumented PPC specific directive. The generic
equivalent is .quad, but even better (because it's self describing) is
.8byte.
Convert all .llong directives to .8byte.

Enable 64K page size and THP. I use ppc64le_defconfig when I need
a single config across guest and host, but having 4K page size
as default is not what I expect. I could move these over to
server.config and merge if ppc64_defconfig is meant for systems
that use 4k pages by default.

Most (all?) distros turn these on, so it makes sense to enable them
for testing coverage, and they're also useful for developers.
