mainlining shenanigans

POWER9 running a radix guest will take some hypervisor interrupts without going to real mode (turning off the MMU). This means that early hypercall handlers may now be called in virtual mode. Most of the handlers work just fine in both modes, but there are some that can crash the host if called in virtual mode, notably the TCE (IOMMU) hypercalls H_PUT_TCE, H_STUFF_TCE and H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT. These already have both a real-mode and a virtual-mode version, so we arrange for the real-mode version to return H_TOO_HARD for radix guests, which will result in the virtual-mode version being called. The other hypercall which is sensitive to the MMU mode is H_RANDOM. It doesn't have a virtual-mode version, so this adds code to enable it to be called in either mode. An alternative solution was considered which would refuse to call any of the early hypercall handlers when doing a virtual-mode exit from a radix guest. However, the XICS-on-XIVE code depends on the XICS hypercalls being handled early even for virtual-mode exits, because the handlers need to be called before the XIVE vCPU state has been pulled off the hardware. Therefore that solution would have become quite invasive and complicated, and was rejected in favour of the simpler, though less elegant, solution presented here.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
