Alexander Graf db507c300e KVM: PPC: move compute_tlbie_rb to book3s common header
We need the compute_tlbie_rb in _pr and _hv implementations for papr
soon, so let's move it over to a common header file that both
implementations can leverage.

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.

* 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.

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.
