On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.
This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.
Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

The magic page is defined as a 4k page of per-vCPU data that is shared
between the guest and the host to accelerate accesses to privileged
registers.
However, when the host is using 64k page size granularity we weren't quite
as strict about that rule anymore. Instead, we partially treated all of the
upper 64k as magic page and mapped only the uppermost 4k with the actual
magic contents.
This works well enough for Linux which doesn't use any memory in kernel
space in the upper 64k, but Mac OS X got upset. So this patch makes magic
page actually stay in a 4k range even on 64k page size hosts.
This patch fixes magic page usage with Mac OS X (using MOL) on 64k PAGE_SIZE
hosts for me.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.
Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.
The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.
When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.
No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got
a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.
There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
still want to sort through and test.
The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the
kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly
thanks to Anton and Rusty.
We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that
traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This
meant more churn that just endian fixes.
This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.
There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
*will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
(the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).
And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."

We worked around some nasty KVM magic page hcall breakages:
1) NX bit not honored, so ignore NX when we detect it
2) LE guests swizzle hypercall instruction
Without these fixes in place, there's no way it would make sense to expose kvm
hypercalls to a guest. Chances are immensely high it would trip over and break.
So add a new CAP that gives user space a hint that we have workarounds for the
bugs above in place. It can use those as hint to disable PV hypercalls when
the guest CPU is anything POWER7 or higher and the host does not have fixes
in place.

Old guests try to use the magic page, but map their trampoline code inside
of an NX region.
Since we can't fix those old kernels, try to detect whether the guest is sane

least work at all. For newer guests, add a bit that we can set to keep NX

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.
When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
native endian load/store operations.
Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.
For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.
For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
functions that evaluate this variable.

To support split core on POWER8 we need to modify various parts of the
KVM code to use threads_per_subcore instead of threads_per_core. On
systems that do not support split core threads_per_subcore ==
threads_per_core and these changes are a nop.
We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT.
This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with
a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current
threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a
thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split
core mode.
Although threads_per_subcore can change during the life of the system,
the commit that enables that will ensure that threads_per_subcore does
not change during the life of a KVM VM.

MMIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest
and then emulates. If the guest is running in Little Endian order,
or more generally in a different endian order of the host, the
instruction needs to be byte-swapped before being emulated.
This patch adds a helper routine which tests the endian order of
the host and the guest in order to decide whether a byteswap is
needed or not. It is then used to byteswap the last instruction
of the guest in the endian order of the host before MMIO emulation
is performed.
Finally, kvmppc_handle_load() of kvmppc_handle_store() are modified
to reverse the endianness of the MMIO if required.

Interrupt source numbers below 16 are reserved; 0 is used to mean no

that is not visible to userspace.
Each vcpu gets one ICP (interrupt controller presentation) entity,

A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on
this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes
create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability,
KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl
takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to
read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is
intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries
or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in
the first doubleword).
This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for
live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information
about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the
end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return
information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read.
A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last
read finished will return 0 bytes.
The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the
invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates
the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of
valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of
invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16
bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly
represented.

size of struct kvm_arch for Book3S HV, and also reduces the size of
struct kvm_arch_memory_slot for other PPC KVM variants since the fields
in it are now only compiled in for Book3S HV.
This necessitates making the kvm_arch_create_memslot and
kvm_arch_free_memslot operations specific to each PPC KVM variant.
That in turn means that we now don't allocate the rmap arrays on
Book3S PR and Book E.
Since we now unpin pages and free the slot_phys array in
kvmppc_core_free_memslot, we no longer need to do it in
kvmppc_core_destroy_vm, since the generic code takes care to free
all the memslots when destroying a VM.
We now need the new memslot to be passed in to
kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region, since we need to initialize its
arch.slot_phys member on Book3S HV.

Today, we disable preemption while inside guest context, because we need
to expose to the world that we are not in a preemptible context. However,
during that time we already have interrupts disabled, which would indicate
that we are in a non-preemptible context.
The reason the checks for irqs_disabled() fail for us though is that we
manually control hard IRQs and ignore all the lazy EE framework. Let's
stop doing that. Instead, let's always use lazy EE to indicate when we
want to disable IRQs, but do a special final switch that gets us into
EE disabled, but soft enabled state. That way when we get back out of
guest state, we are immediately ready to process interrupts.
This simplifies the code drastically and reduces the time that we appear
as preempt disabled.

This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest
hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest.
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter
a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2
of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the
actual order of the HPT which was allocated.
There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce
this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in
kvm->arch.vcpus_running.
If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't
reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the
kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold
the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until
we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done
will re-establish the VRMA if necessary.
If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the
kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then
rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that
userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants.
When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page
allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for
a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate
using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the
preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing
sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed
(256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to
1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to
16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

transferring a full struct every time is limited.
So this is a new approach to the problem. With these new ioctls, we can
get and set a single register that is identified by an ID. This allows for
very precise and limited transmittal of data. When we later realize that
it's a better idea to shove over multiple registers at once, we can reuse

This adds the infrastructure to enable us to page out pages underneath
a Book3S HV guest, on processors that support virtualized partition
memory, that is, POWER7. Instead of pinning all the guest's pages,
we now look in the host userspace Linux page tables to find the
mapping for a given guest page. Then, if the userspace Linux PTE
gets invalidated, kvm_unmap_hva() gets called for that address, and
we replace all the guest HPTEs that refer to that page with absent
HPTEs, i.e. ones with the valid bit clear and the HPTE_V_ABSENT bit
set, which will cause an HDSI when the guest tries to access them.
Finally, the page fault handler is extended to reinstantiate the
guest HPTE when the guest tries to access a page which has been paged
out.
Since we can't intercept the guest DSI and ISI interrupts on PPC970,
we still have to pin all the guest pages on PPC970. We have a new flag,
kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers, that indicates whether we can page
guest pages out. If it is not set, the MMU notifier callbacks do
nothing and everything operates as before.

This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest

SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace. On booke, KVM will sync
these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from
guest userspace will work. The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently
use either the real registers or the shared area between exits. This
also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3.
On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported
(they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic
chips). They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any

This function should be called with interrupts disabled, to avoid

booke already does this properly in the lightweight exit case, but
not on initial entry.
For now, move the call of prepare_to_enter into subarch-specific code so
that booke can do the right thing here. Ideally book3s would do the same
thing, but I'm having a hard time seeing where it does any interrupt
disabling of this sort (plus it has several additional call sites), so

With a KVM guest operating in SMT4 mode (i.e. 4 hardware threads per
core), whenever a CPU goes idle, we have to pull all the other
hardware threads in the core out of the guest, because the H_CEDE
hcall is handled in the kernel. This is inefficient.
This adds code to book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S to handle the H_CEDE hcall
in real mode. When a guest vcpu does an H_CEDE hcall, we now only
exit to the kernel if all the other vcpus in the same core are also
idle. Otherwise we mark this vcpu as napping, save state that could
be lost in nap mode (mainly GPRs and FPRs), and execute the nap
instruction. When the thread wakes up, because of a decrementer or
external interrupt, we come back in at kvm_start_guest (from the
system reset interrupt vector), find the `napping' flag set in the
paca, and go to the resume path.
This has some other ramifications. First, when starting a core, we
now start all the threads, both those that are immediately runnable and
those that are idle. This is so that we don't have to pull all the
threads out of the guest when an idle thread gets a decrementer interrupt
and wants to start running. In fact the idle threads will all start
with the H_CEDE hcall returning; being idle they will just do another
H_CEDE immediately and go to nap mode.
This required some changes to kvmppc_run_core() and kvmppc_run_vcpu().
These functions have been restructured to make them simpler and clearer.
We introduce a level of indirection in the wait queue that gets woken
when external and decrementer interrupts get generated for a vcpu, so
that we can have the 4 vcpus in a vcore using the same wait queue.
We need this because the 4 vcpus are being handled by one thread.
Secondly, when we need to exit from the guest to the kernel, we now
have to generate an IPI for any napping threads, because an HDEC
interrupt doesn't wake up a napping thread.
Thirdly, we now need to be able to handle virtual external interrupts
and decrementer interrupts becoming pending while a thread is napping,
and deliver those interrupts to the guest when the thread wakes.
This is done in kvmppc_cede_reentry, just before fast_guest_return.
Finally, since we are not using the generic kvm_vcpu_block for book3s_hv,
and hence not calling kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable, we can remove the #ifdef
from kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable.

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.

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.

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.

This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR
paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by
implementing it in real mode. H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual
IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the
PAPR interface.
Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The
ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly
created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as
userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the
guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number
of host/guest context switches during guest IO.
There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu
to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used
most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness
when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the
future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a
checkpoint resume or migration.

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.

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.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).
Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.
To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.
So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other

registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

kvm_arch_sync_events is introduced to quiet down all other events may happen
contemporary with VM destroy process, like IRQ handler and work struct for
assigned device.
For kvm_arch_sync_events is called at the very beginning of kvm_destroy_vm(), so
the state of KVM here is legal and can provide a environment to quiet down other
events.

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.
Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.
Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

However, some of these fields could be split into separate per-core structures
in the future.

This patch doesn't yet move all 44x-specific data into the new structure, but
is the first step down that path. In the future we may also want to create a
struct kvm_vcpu_booke.
