Anton Blanchard 8aa6d35929 powerpc: Move kdump default base address to half RMO size on 64bit
We are seeing boot failures on some very large boxes even with
commit b5416ca9f8 (powerpc: Move kdump default base address to
64MB on 64bit).

This patch halves the RMO so both kernels get about the same
amount of RMO memory. On large machines this region will be
at least 256MB, so each kernel will get 128MB.

We cap it at 256MB (small SLB size) since some early allocations need
to be in the bolted SLB region. We could relax this on machines with
1TB SLBs in a future patch.

David Ahern b59a1bfcc2 powerpc/perf: Disable pagefaults during callchain stack read

A page fault occurred walking the callchain while creating a perf
sample for the context-switch event. To handle the page fault the
mmap_sem is needed, but it is currently held by setup_arg_pages.
(setup_arg_pages calls shift_arg_pages with the mmap_sem held.
shift_arg_pages then calls move_page_tables which has a cond_resched
at the top of its for loop - hitting that cond_resched is what caused
the context switch.)

This is an extension of Anton's proposed patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/24/151
adding case for 32-bit ppc.

Tested on the system that first generated the panic and then again
with latest kernel using a PPC VM. I am not able to test the 64-bit
path - I do not have H/W for it and 64-bit PPC VMs (qemu on Intel)
is horribly slow.

Anton Blanchard 966728dd88 powerpc: Fix device tree claim code
I have a box that fails in OF during boot with:

DEFAULT CATCH!, exception-handler=fff00400
at   %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768   %SRR1: 800000004000b002

ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string.

Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB)
but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top
which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will
never call alloc_up and claim more memory.

Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the
available address space.

This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with
an obvious error. We could relocate the device tree in a future
patch.

Scott Wood 26ee97672e powerpc: Return the_cpu_ spec from identify_cpu
Commit af9eef3c7b caused cpu_setup to see
the_cpu_spec, rather than the source struct.  However, on 32-bit, the
return value of identify_cpu was being used for feature fixups, and
identify_cpu was returning the source struct.  So if cpu_setup patches
the feature bits, the update won't affect the fixups.

Paul Mackerras 9e368f2915 KVM: PPC: book3s_hv: Add support for PPC970-family processors
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.

Paul Mackerras 969391c58a powerpc, KVM: Split HVMODE_206 cpu feature bit into separate HV and architecture bits
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.

Paul Mackerras aa04b4cc5b KVM: PPC: Allocate RMAs (Real Mode Areas) at boot for use by guests
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.

Paul Mackerras 371fefd6f2 KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use SMT processor modes
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.

Paul Mackerras a8606e20e4 KVM: PPC: Handle some PAPR hcalls in the kernel
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.

Paul Mackerras de56a948b9 KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode
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.

Paul Mackerras 3c42bf8a71 KVM: PPC: Split host-state fields out of kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu
There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that
temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running,
rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu.
This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and
modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit.

On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the
kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able
to get to them both with one pointer.  On 64-bit they are separate
fields in the PACA.  This means that on 64-bit we don't need to
copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and
in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a
shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all.  That does mean that we
have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the
hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block
or get preempted.

Liu Yu dd9ebf1f94 KVM: PPC: e500: Add shadow PID support
Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into
multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS].  Use
both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be
selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest
PID.

This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to
invalidate the entire TLB.  When the guest mode or PID changes, we just
update the host PID0/PID1.  And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is
global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict.

Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to
a value other than zero.  This will need to be fixed for nested KVM
to work.  Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2
to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them
to something else.

So now we can do:

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current

For the various event classes:

  - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
    the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
  - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
  - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
    perform wakeups, and hence need 0.

As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).

The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

as far as I know this is safe, but I'm not really sure what the x86/sparc
code is protecting against so maybe it's not.

I also don't see any reason for us to implement the poke_early() routine,
even though sparc does.
