Paul Mackerras fb7dcf723d Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/powerpc/topic/xive' into kvm-ppc-next
This merges in the powerpc topic/xive branch to bring in the code for
the in-kernel XICS interrupt controller emulation to use the new XIVE
(eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine) hardware in the POWER9 chip
directly, rather than via a XICS emulation in firmware.

Denis Kirjanov db4b0dfab7 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Avoid preemptibility warning in module initialization
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT, get_paca() produces the following warning
in kvmppc_book3s_init_hv() since it calls debug_smp_processor_id().

There is no real issue with the xics_phys field.
If paca->kvm_hstate.xics_phys is non-zero on one cpu, it will be
non-zero on them all.  Therefore this is not fixing any actual
problem, just the warning.

David Gibson 5e9859699a KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Outline of KVM-HV HPT resizing implementation
This adds a not yet working outline of the HPT resizing PAPR
extension.  Specifically it adds the necessary ioctl() functions,
their basic steps, the work function which will handle preparation for
the resize, and synchronization between these, the guest page fault
path and guest HPT update path.

The actual guts of the implementation isn't here yet, so for now the
calls will always fail.

David Gibson f98a8bf9ee KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() to change HPT size
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() is used to set the size of hashed page
table (HPT) that userspace expects a guest VM to have, and is also used to
clear that HPT when necessary (e.g. guest reboot).

At present, once the ioctl() is called for the first time, the HPT size can
never be changed thereafter - it will be cleared but always sized as from
the first call.

With upcoming HPT resize implementation, we're going to need to allow
userspace to resize the HPT at reset (to change it back to the default size
if the guest changed it).

So, we need to allow this ioctl() to change the HPT size.

This patch also updates Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt to reflect
the new behaviour.  In fact the documentation was already slightly
incorrect since 572abd5 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't fall back to
smaller HPT size in allocation ioctl"

David Gibson aae0777f1e KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Split HPT allocation from activation
Currently, kvmppc_alloc_hpt() both allocates a new hashed page table (HPT)
and sets it up as the active page table for a VM.  For the upcoming HPT
resize implementation we're going to want to allocate HPTs separately from
activating them.

So, split the allocation itself out into kvmppc_allocate_hpt() and perform
the activation with a new kvmppc_set_hpt() function.  Likewise we split
kvmppc_free_hpt(), which just frees the HPT, from kvmppc_release_hpt()
which unsets it as an active HPT, then frees it.

We also move the logic to fall back to smaller HPT sizes if the first try
fails into the single caller which used that behaviour,
kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma().  This introduces a slight semantic change, in
that previously if the initial attempt at CMA allocation failed, we would
fall back to attempting smaller sizes with the page allocator.  Now, we
try first CMA, then the page allocator at each size.  As far as I can tell
this change should be harmless.

To match, we make kvmppc_free_hpt() just free the actual HPT itself.  The
call to kvmppc_free_lpid() that was there, we move to the single caller.

Paul Mackerras 8cf4ecc0ca KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable radix guest support
This adds a few last pieces of the support for radix guests:

* Implement the backends for the KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU and
  KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctls for radix guests

* On POWER9, allow secondary threads to be on/off-lined while guests
  are running.

* Set up LPCR and the partition table entry for radix guests.

* Don't allocate the rmap array in the kvm_memory_slot structure
  on radix.

* Don't try to initialize the HPT for radix guests, since they don't
  have an HPT.

* Take out the code that prevents the HV KVM module from
  initializing on radix hosts.

At this stage, we only support radix guests if the host is running
in radix mode, and only support HPT guests if the host is running in
HPT mode.  Thus a guest cannot switch from one mode to the other,
which enables some simplifications.

Paul Mackerras a29ebeaf55 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Invalidate TLB on radix guest vcpu movement
With radix, the guest can do TLB invalidations itself using the tlbie
(global) and tlbiel (local) TLB invalidation instructions.  Linux guests
use local TLB invalidations for translations that have only ever been
accessed on one vcpu.  However, that doesn't mean that the translations
have only been accessed on one physical cpu (pcpu) since vcpus can move
around from one pcpu to another.  Thus a tlbiel might leave behind stale
TLB entries on a pcpu where the vcpu previously ran, and if that task
then moves back to that previous pcpu, it could see those stale TLB
entries and thus access memory incorrectly.  The usual symptom of this
is random segfaults in userspace programs in the guest.

To cope with this, we detect when a vcpu is about to start executing on
a thread in a core that is a different core from the last time it
executed.  If that is the case, then we mark the core as needing a
TLB flush and then send an interrupt to any thread in the core that is
currently running a vcpu from the same guest.  This will get those vcpus
out of the guest, and the first one to re-enter the guest will do the
TLB flush.  The reason for interrupting the vcpus executing on the old
core is to cope with the following scenario:

	CPU 0			CPU 1			CPU 4
	(core 0)			(core 0)			(core 1)

	VCPU 0 runs task X      VCPU 1 runs
	core 0 TLB gets
	entries from task X
	VCPU 0 moves to CPU 4
							VCPU 0 runs task X
							Unmap pages of task X
							tlbiel

				(still VCPU 1)			task X moves to VCPU 1
				task X runs
				task X sees stale TLB
				entries

That is, as soon as the VCPU starts executing on the new core, it
could unmap and tlbiel some page table entries, and then the task
could migrate to one of the VCPUs running on the old core and
potentially see stale TLB entries.

Since the TLB is shared between all the threads in a core, we only
use the bit of kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush corresponding to the first
thread in the core.  To ensure that we don't have a window where we
can miss a flush, this moves the clearing of the bit from before the
actual flush to after it.  This way, two threads might both do the
flush, but we prevent the situation where one thread can enter the
guest before the flush is finished.

This adds code to keep track of dirty pages when requested (that is,
when memslot->dirty_bitmap is non-NULL) for radix guests.  We use the
dirty bits in the PTEs in the second-level (partition-scoped) page
tables, together with a bitmap of pages that were dirty when their
PTE was invalidated (e.g., when the page was paged out).  This bitmap
is stored in the first half of the memslot->dirty_bitmap area, and
kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log_hv() now uses the second half for the
bitmap that gets returned to userspace.

Paul Mackerras 5a319350a4 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Page table construction and page faults for radix guests
This adds the code to construct the second-level ("partition-scoped" in
architecturese) page tables for guests using the radix MMU.  Apart from
the PGD level, which is allocated when the guest is created, the rest
of the tree is all constructed in response to hypervisor page faults.

As well as hypervisor page faults for missing pages, we also get faults
for reference/change (RC) bits needing to be set, as well as various
other error conditions.  For now, we only set the R or C bit in the
guest page table if the same bit is set in the host PTE for the
backing page.

This code can take advantage of the guest being backed with either
transparent or ordinary 2MB huge pages, and insert 2MB page entries
into the guest page tables.  There is no support for 1GB huge pages
yet.

Paul Mackerras c927013227 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add userspace interfaces for POWER9 MMU
This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to
find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest.  The two
capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using
the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a
process table and segment tables.  (Note that the MMUs in the
POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables
when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does).

The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify
whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to
specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process
table.

The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about
the radix MMU.  It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries
(base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the
radix tree) and the encoding used to specify the various page
sizes for the TLB invalidate entry instruction.

Initially, both capabilities return 0 and the ioctls return -EINVAL,
until the necessary infrastructure for them to operate correctly
is added.

Paul Mackerras 8464c8842d KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix H_PROD to actually wake the target vcpu
The H_PROD hypercall is supposed to wake up an idle vcpu.  We have
an implementation, but because Linux doesn't use it except when
doing cpu hotplug, it was never tested properly.  AIX does use it,
and reported it broken.  It turns out we were waking the wrong
vcpu (the one doing H_PROD, not the target of the prod) and we
weren't handling the case where the target needs an IPI to wake
it.  Fix it by using the existing kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv()
function, which is intended for this kind of thing, and by using
the target vcpu not the current vcpu.

We were also not looking at the prodded flag when checking whether a
ceded vcpu should wake up, so this adds checks for the prodded flag
alongside the checks for pending exceptions.

Paul Mackerras 3deda5e50c KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't try to signal cpu -1
If the target vcpu for kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv() is not running on
any CPU, then we will have vcpu->arch.thread_cpu == -1, and as it
happens, kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv will call kvmppc_ipi_thread with
-1 as the cpu argument.  Although this is not meaningful, in the past,
before commit 1704a81cce ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for IPIs
to other cores on POWER9", 2016-11-18), it was harmless because CPU
-1 is not in the same core as any real CPU thread.  On a POWER9,
however, we don't do the "same core" check, so we were trying to
do a msgsnd to thread -1, which is invalid.  To avoid this, we add
a check to see that vcpu->arch.thread_cpu is >= 0 before calling
kvmppc_ipi_thread() with it.  Since vcpu->arch.thread_vcpu can change
asynchronously, we use READ_ONCE to ensure that the value we check is
the same value that we use as the argument to kvmppc_ipi_thread().

Suraj Jitindar Singh e03f3921e5 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add check for module parameter halt_poll_ns
The kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns defines the global maximum halt
polling interval and can be dynamically changed by writing to the
/sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns sysfs file. However in kvm-hv
this module parameter value is only ever checked when we grow the current
polling interval for the given vcore. This means that if we decrease the
halt_poll_ns value below the current polling interval we won't see any
effect unless we try to grow the polling interval above the new max at some
point or it happens to be shrunk below the halt_poll_ns value.

Update the halt polling code so that we always check for a new module param
value of halt_poll_ns and set the current halt polling interval to it if
it's currently greater than the new max. This means that it's redundant to
also perform this check in the grow_halt_poll_ns() function now.

Paul Mackerras 45c940ba49 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Treat POWER9 CPU threads as independent subcores
With POWER9, each CPU thread has its own MMU context and can be
in the host or a guest independently of the other threads; there is
still however a restriction that all threads must use the same type
of address translation, either radix tree or hashed page table (HPT).

Since we only support HPT guests on a HPT host at this point, we
can treat the threads as being independent, and avoid all of the
work of coordinating the CPU threads.  To make this simpler, we
introduce a new threads_per_vcore() function that returns 1 on
POWER9 and threads_per_subcore on POWER7/8, and use that instead
of threads_per_subcore or threads_per_core in various places.

This also changes the value of the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability on
POWER9 systems from 4 to 1, so that userspace will not try to
create VMs with multiple vcpus per vcore.  (If userspace did create
a VM that thought it was in an SMT mode, the VM might try to use
the msgsndp instruction, which will not work as expected.  In
future it may be possible to trap and emulate msgsndp in order to
allow VMs to think they are in an SMT mode, if only for the purpose
of allowing migration from POWER8 systems.)

With all this, we can now run guests on POWER9 as long as the host
is running with HPT translation.  Since userspace currently has no
way to request radix tree translation for the guest, the guest has
no choice but to use HPT translation.

The new XIVE interrupt controller on POWER9 can direct external
interrupts to the hypervisor or the guest.  The interrupts directed to
the hypervisor are controlled by an LPCR bit called LPCR_HVICE, and
come in as a "hypervisor virtualization interrupt".  This sets the
LPCR bit so that hypervisor virtualization interrupts can occur while
we are in the guest.  We then also need to cope with exiting the guest
because of a hypervisor virtualization interrupt.

Paul Mackerras f725758b89 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use OPAL XICS emulation on POWER9
POWER9 includes a new interrupt controller, called XIVE, which is
quite different from the XICS interrupt controller on POWER7 and
POWER8 machines.  KVM-HV accesses the XICS directly in several places
in order to send and clear IPIs and handle interrupts from PCI
devices being passed through to the guest.

In order to make the transition to XIVE easier, OPAL firmware will
include an emulation of XICS on top of XIVE.  Access to the emulated
XICS is via OPAL calls.  The one complication is that the EOI
(end-of-interrupt) function can now return a value indicating that
another interrupt is pending; in this case, the XIVE will not signal
an interrupt in hardware to the CPU, and software is supposed to
acknowledge the new interrupt without waiting for another interrupt
to be delivered in hardware.

This adapts KVM-HV to use the OPAL calls on machines where there is
no XICS hardware.  When there is no XICS, we look for a device-tree
node with "ibm,opal-intc" in its compatible property, which is how
OPAL indicates that it provides XICS emulation.

In order to handle the EOI return value, kvmppc_read_intr() has
become kvmppc_read_one_intr(), with a boolean variable passed by
reference which can be set by the EOI functions to indicate that
another interrupt is pending.  The new kvmppc_read_intr() keeps
calling kvmppc_read_one_intr() until there are no more interrupts
to process.  The return value from kvmppc_read_intr() is the
largest non-zero value of the returns from kvmppc_read_one_intr().

Paul Mackerras 7c5b06cadf KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Adapt TLB invalidations to work on POWER9
POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry)
and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions.  Both instructions get a
set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the
instruction word.  The tlbiel instruction now has a second register
operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and
should otherwise contain 0.

This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9
as well as older processors.  Since we only handle HPT guests so
far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction
word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally
execute different instructions depending on the processor.

The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets.  Rather than
using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on
which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time
and store it in the kvm_arch struct.  That will make it possible to
get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with
compatibility with future processors.

Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the
whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the
guest on each processor.  Therefore we don't set all bits in the
tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9.

longer used, and instead the hardware reads the HPT base address
and size from the partition table.  The partition table entry also
contains the bits that specify the page size for the VRMA mapping,
which were previously in the LPCR.  The VPM0 bit of the LPCR is
now reserved; the processor now always uses the VRMA (virtual
real-mode area) mechanism for guest real-mode accesses in HPT mode,
and the RMO (real-mode offset) mechanism has been dropped.

When entering or exiting the guest, we now only have to set the
LPIDR (logical partition ID register), not the SDR1 register.
There is also no requirement now to transition via a reserved
LPID value.

For example, considering the case of using virtio device, for virtio
legacy devices, one HPTE could handle notifications from up to
1024 (64K page / 64 byte Port IO register) devices, so one cache entry
is enough; for virtio modern devices, we always need one HPTE to handle
notification for each device because modern device would use a 8M MMIO
register to notify host instead of Port IO register, typically the
system's configuration should not exceed four virtio devices per
vcpu, four cache entry is also enough in this case. Of course, if needed,
we could also modify the macro to a module parameter in the future.

Paul Mackerras 88b02cf97b KVM: PPC: Book3S: Treat VTB as a per-subcore register, not per-thread
POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one
per CPU thread.  The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread
register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests
which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector.
(CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.)

For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread
in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value.  With this,
the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure.  This
also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one
subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores
would share a single VTB register.

PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM
has no notion of CPU threads or SMT.  For PR KVM we move the VTB
state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

Paul Mackerras 5d375199ea KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Set server for passed-through interrupts
When a guest has a PCI pass-through device with an interrupt, it
will direct the interrupt to a particular guest VCPU.  In fact the
physical interrupt might arrive on any CPU, and then get
delivered to the target VCPU in the emulated XICS (guest interrupt
controller), and eventually delivered to the target VCPU.

Now that we have code to handle device interrupts in real mode
without exiting to the host kernel, there is an advantage to having
the device interrupt arrive on the same sub(core) as the target
VCPU is running on.  In this situation, the interrupt can be
delivered to the target VCPU without any exit to the host kernel
(using a hypervisor doorbell interrupt between threads if
necessary).

This patch aims to get passed-through device interrupts arriving
on the correct core by setting the interrupt server in the real
hardware XICS for the interrupt to the first thread in the (sub)core
where its target VCPU is running.  We do this in the real-mode H_EOI
code because the H_EOI handler already needs to look at the
emulated ICS state for the interrupt (whereas the H_XIRR handler
doesn't), and we know we are running in the target VCPU context
at that point.

We set the server CPU in hardware using an OPAL call, regardless of
what the IRQ affinity mask for the interrupt says, and without
updating the affinity mask.  This amounts to saying that when an
interrupt is passed through to a guest, as a matter of policy we
allow the guest's affinity for the interrupt to override the host's.

This is inspired by an earlier patch from Suresh Warrier, although
none of this code came from that earlier patch.

Suresh Warrier f7af5209b8 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Complete passthrough interrupt in host
In existing real mode ICP code, when updating the virtual ICP
state, if there is a required action that cannot be completely
handled in real mode, as for instance, a VCPU needs to be woken
up, flags are set in the ICP to indicate the required action.
This is checked when returning from hypercalls to decide whether
the call needs switch back to the host where the action can be
performed in virtual mode. Note that if h_ipi_redirect is enabled,
real mode code will first try to message a free host CPU to
complete this job instead of returning the host to do it ourselves.

Currently, the real mode PCI passthrough interrupt handling code
checks if any of these flags are set and simply returns to the host.
This is not good enough as the trap value (0x500) is treated as an
external interrupt by the host code. It is only when the trap value
is a hypercall that the host code searches for and acts on unfinished
work by calling kvmppc_xics_rm_complete.

This patch introduces a special trap BOOK3S_INTERRUPT_HV_RM_HARD
which is returned by KVM if there is unfinished business to be
completed in host virtual mode after handling a PCI passthrough
interrupt. The host checks for this special interrupt condition
and calls into the kvmppc_xics_rm_complete, which is made an
exported function for this reason.

Suresh Warrier e3c13e56a4 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle passthrough interrupts in guest
Currently, KVM switches back to the host to handle any external
interrupt (when the interrupt is received while running in the
guest). This patch updates real-mode KVM to check if an interrupt
is generated by a passthrough adapter that is owned by this guest.
If so, the real mode KVM will directly inject the corresponding
virtual interrupt to the guest VCPU's ICS and also EOI the interrupt
in hardware. In short, the interrupt is handled entirely in real
mode in the guest context without switching back to the host.

In some rare cases, the interrupt cannot be completely handled in
real mode, for instance, a VCPU that is sleeping needs to be woken
up. In this case, KVM simply switches back to the host with trap
reason set to 0x500. This works, but it is clearly not very efficient.
A following patch will distinguish this case and handle it
correctly in the host. Note that we can use the existing
check_too_hard() routine even though we are not in a hypercall to
determine if there is unfinished business that needs to be
completed in host virtual mode.

The patch assumes that the mapping between hardware interrupt IRQ
and virtual IRQ to be injected to the guest already exists for the
PCI passthrough interrupts that need to be handled in real mode.
If the mapping does not exist, KVM falls back to the default
existing behavior.

The KVM real mode code reads mappings from the mapped array in the
passthrough IRQ map without taking any lock.  We carefully order the
loads and stores of the fields in the kvmppc_irq_map data structure
using memory barriers to avoid an inconsistent mapping being seen by
the reader. Thus, although it is possible to miss a map entry, it is
not possible to read a stale value.

are used to keep track of the number of times the vcpu attempts to and
successfully polls. These stats are currently not used on powerpc.

Implement incrementation of the halt_attempted_poll and
halt_successful_poll vcpu stats for powerpc. Since these stats are summed
over all the vcpus for all running guests it doesn't matter which vcpu
they are attributed to, thus we choose the current runner vcpu of the
vcore.

Also add new vcpu stats: halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and
halt_wait_ns to be used to accumulate the total time spend polling
successfully, polling unsuccessfully and waiting respectively, and
halt_successful_wait to accumulate the number of times the vcpu waits.
Given that halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and halt_wait_ns are
expressed in nanoseconds it is necessary to represent these as 64-bit
quantities, otherwise they would overflow after only about 4 seconds.

Given that the total time spend either polling or waiting will be known and
the number of times that each was done, it will be possible to determine
the average poll and wait times. This will give the ability to tune the kvm

Suraj Jitindar Singh 0cda69dd7c KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement halt polling
This patch introduces new halt polling functionality into the kvm_hv kernel
module. When a vcore is idle it will poll for some period of time before
scheduling itself out.

When all of the runnable vcpus on a vcore have ceded (and thus the vcore is
idle) we schedule ourselves out to allow something else to run. In the
event that we need to wake up very quickly (for example an interrupt
arrives), we are required to wait until we get scheduled again.

Implement halt polling so that when a vcore is idle, and before scheduling
ourselves, we poll for vcpus in the runnable_threads list which have
pending exceptions or which leave the ceded state. If we poll successfully
then we can get back into the guest very quickly without ever scheduling
ourselves, otherwise we schedule ourselves out as before.

There exists generic halt_polling code in virt/kvm_main.c, however on
powerpc the polling conditions are different to the generic case. It would
be nice if we could just implement an arch specific kvm_check_block()
function, but there is still other arch specific things which need to be
done for kvm_hv (for example manipulating vcore states) which means that a
separate implementation is the best option.

Testing of this patch with a TCP round robin test between two guests with
virtio network interfaces has found a decrease in round trip time of ~15us
on average. A performance gain is only seen when going out of and
back into the guest often and quickly, otherwise there is no net benefit
from the polling. The polling interval is adjusted such that when we are
often scheduled out for long periods of time it is reduced, and when we
often poll successfully it is increased. The rate at which the polling
interval increases or decreases, and the maximum polling interval, can
be set through module parameters.

Based on the implementation in the generic kvm module by Wanpeng Li and
Paolo Bonzini, and on direction from Paul Mackerras.

Suraj Jitindar Singh 7b5f8272c7 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Change vcore element runnable_threads from linked-list to array
The struct kvmppc_vcore is a structure used to store various information
about a virtual core for a kvm guest. The runnable_threads element of the
struct provides a list of all of the currently runnable vcpus on the core
(those in the KVMPPC_VCPU_RUNNABLE state). The previous implementation of
this list was a linked_list. The next patch requires that the list be able
to be iterated over without holding the vcore lock.

Reimplement the runnable_threads list in the kvmppc_vcore struct as an
array. Implement function to iterate over valid entries in the array and
update access sites accordingly.
