Upcoming in-kernel VFIO acceleration needs different handling in real
and virtual modes which makes it hard to support both modes in
the same handler.
This creates a copy of kvmppc_rm_h_stuff_tce and kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce
in addition to the existing kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect.
This also fixes linker breakage when only PR KVM was selected (leaving
HV KVM off): the kvmppc_h_put_tce/kvmppc_h_stuff_tce functions
would not compile at all and the linked would fail.

Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a
host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR)
to a suitable value. It turns out that this is because when the
code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers
(SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure
that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit.
This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could
compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral
value on guest exit.

via KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_64 capability. The table size is checked against

At the moment the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct can only describe
4GB windows and handle fixed size (4K) pages. Dynamic DMA windows
support more so these limits need to be extended.
This replaces window_size (in bytes, 4GB max) with page_shift (32bit)
and size (64bit, in pages).
This should cause no behavioural change as this is changing
the internal structures only - the user interface still only
allows one to create a 32-bit table with 4KiB pages at this stage.

Redirecting the wakeup of a VCPU from the H_IPI hypercall to
a core running in the host is usually a good idea, most workloads
seemed to benefit. However, in one heavily interrupt-driven SMT1
workload, some regression was observed. This patch adds a kvm_hv
module parameter called h_ipi_redirect to control this feature.
The default value for this tunable is 1 - that is enable the feature.

This patch adds support to real-mode KVM to search for a core
running in the host partition and send it an IPI message with
VCPU to be woken. This avoids having to switch to the host
partition to complete an H_IPI hypercall when the VCPU which
is the target of the the H_IPI is not loaded (is not running
in the guest).
The patch also includes the support in the IPI handler running
in the host to do the wakeup by calling kvmppc_xics_ipi_action
for the PPC_MSG_RM_HOST_ACTION message.
When a guest is being destroyed, we need to ensure that there
are no pending IPIs waiting to wake up a VCPU before we free
the VCPUs of the guest. This is accomplished by:
- Forces a PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION IPI to be completed by all CPUs
before freeing any VCPUs in kvm_arch_destroy_vm().
- Any PPC_MSG_RM_HOST_ACTION messages must be executed first
before any other PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION messages.

This patch adds the support for the kick VCPU operation for
kvmppc_host_rm_ops. The kvmppc_xics_ipi_action() function
provides the function to be invoked for a host side operation
when poked by the real mode KVM. This is initiated by KVM by
sending an IPI to any free host core.
KVM real mode must set the rm_action to XICS_RM_KICK_VCPU and
rm_data to point to the VCPU to be woken up before sending the IPI.
Note that we have allocated one kvmppc_host_rm_core structure
per core. The above values need to be set in the structure
corresponding to the core to which the IPI will be sent.

This patch defines the data structures to support the setting up
of host side operations while running in real mode in the guest,
and also the functions to allocate and free it.
The operations are for now limited to virtual XICS operations.
Currently, we have only defined one operation in the data
structure:
- Wake up a VCPU sleeping in the host when it
receives a virtual interrupt
The operations are assigned at the core level because PowerKVM
requires that the host run in SMT off mode. For each core,
we will need to manage its state atomically - where the state
is defined by:
1. Is the core running in the host?
2. Is there a Real Mode (RM) operation pending on the host?
Currently, core state is only managed at the whole-core level
even when the system is in split-core mode. This just limits
the number of free or "available" cores in the host to perform
any host-side operations.
The kvmppc_host_rm_core.rm_data allows any data to be passed by
KVM in real mode to the host core along with the operation to
be performed.
The kvmppc_host_rm_ops structure is allocated the very first time
a guest VM is started. Initial core state is also set - all online
cores are in the host. This structure is never deleted, not even
when there are no active guests. However, it needs to be freed
when the module is unloaded because the kvmppc_host_rm_ops_hv
can contain function pointers to kvm-hv.ko functions for the
different supported host operations.

The problem:
On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:
1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled
This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.
The solution:
Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.
Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

This adds real and virtual mode handlers for the H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and
H_STUFF_TCE hypercalls for user space emulated devices such as IBMVIO
devices or emulated PCI. These calls allow adding multiple entries
(up to 512) into the TCE table in one call which saves time on
transition between kernel and user space.
The current implementation of kvmppc_h_stuff_tce() allows it to be
executed in both real and virtual modes so there is one helper.
The kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect() needs to translate the guest address
to the host address and since the translation is different, there are
2 helpers - one for each mode.
This implements the KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE capability. When present,
the kernel will try handling H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE if these
are enabled by the userspace via KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.
If they can not be handled by the kernel, they are passed on to
the user space. The user space still has to have an implementation
for these.
Both HV and PR-syle KVM are supported.

At the moment pages used for TCE tables (in addition to pages addressed
by TCEs) are not counted in locked_vm counter so a malicious userspace
tool can call ioctl(KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE) as many times as
RLIMIT_NOFILE and lock a lot of memory.
This adds counting for pages used for TCE tables.
This counts the number of pages required for a table plus pages for
the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct (TCE table descriptor) itself.
This changes release_spapr_tce_table() to store @npages on stack to
avoid calling kvmppc_stt_npages() in the loop (tiny optimization,

ec53500f "kvm: Add VFIO device" added a special KVM pseudo-device which is
used to handle any necessary interactions between KVM and VFIO.
Currently that device is built on x86 and ARM, but not powerpc, although
powerpc does support both KVM and VFIO. This makes things awkward in
userspace
Currently qemu prints an alarming error message if you attempt to use VFIO
and it can't initialize the KVM VFIO device. We don't want to remove the
warning, because lack of the KVM VFIO device could mean coherency problems
on x86. On powerpc, however, the error is harmless but looks disturbing,
and a test based on host architecture in qemu would be ugly, and break if
we do need the KVM VFIO device for something important in future.
There's nothing preventing the KVM VFIO device from being built for
powerpc, so this patch turns it on. It won't actually do anything, since
we don't define any of the arch_*() hooks, but it will make qemu happy and
we can extend it in future if we need to.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.
The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.
The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.
Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.
This patch (of 18):
The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

Currently it is possible for userspace (e.g. QEMU) to set a value
for the MSR for a guest VCPU which has both of the TS bits set,
which is an illegal combination. The result of this is that when
we execute a hrfid (hypervisor return from interrupt doubleword)
instruction to enter the guest, the CPU will take a TM Bad Thing
type of program interrupt (vector 0x700).
Now, if PR KVM is configured in the kernel along with HV KVM, we
actually handle this without crashing the host or giving hypervisor
privilege to the guest; instead what happens is that we deliver a
program interrupt to the guest, with SRR0 reflecting the address
of the hrfid instruction and SRR1 containing the MSR value at that
point. If PR KVM is not configured in the kernel, then we try to
run the host's program interrupt handler with the MMU set to the
guest context, which almost certainly causes a host crash.
This closes the hole by making kvmppc_set_msr_hv() check for the
illegal combination and force the TS field to a safe value (00,
meaning non-transactional).

As we saw with the TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt occurring
on the hrfid that enters the guest, it is not completely impossible
to have a trap occurring in the guest entry/exit code, despite the
fact that the code has been written to avoid taking any traps.
This adds a check in the kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() function to detect
the case when a trap has occurred in the hypervisor-mode code, and
instead of treating it just like a trap in guest code, we now print
a message and return to userspace with a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR
exit reason.
Of the various interrupts that get handled in the assembly code in
the guest exit path and that can return directly to the guest, the
only one that can occur when MSR.HV=1 and MSR.EE=0 is machine check
(other than system call, which we can avoid just by not doing a sc
instruction). Therefore this adds code to the machine check path to
ensure that if the MCE occurred in hypervisor mode, we exit to the
host rather than trying to continue the guest.

Pull second batch of kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Four changes:
- x86: work around two nasty cases where a benign exception occurs
while another is being delivered. The endless stream of exceptions
causes an infinite loop in the processor, which not even NMIs or
SMIs can interrupt; in the virt case, there is no possibility to
exit to the host either.
- x86: support for Skylake per-guest TSC rate. Long supported by
AMD, the patches mostly move things from there to common
arch/x86/kvm/ code.
- generic: remove local_irq_save/restore from the guest entry and
exit paths when context tracking is enabled. The patches are a few
months old, but we discussed them again at kernel summit. Andy
will pick up from here and, in 4.5, try to remove it from the user
entry/exit paths.

In static micro-threading modes, the dynamic micro-threading code
is supposed to be disabled, because subcores can't make independent
decisions about what micro-threading mode to put the core in - there is
only one micro-threading mode for the whole core. The code that
implements dynamic micro-threading checks for this, except that the
check was missed in one case. This means that it is possible for a
subcore in static 2-way micro-threading mode to try to put the core
into 4-way micro-threading mode, which usually leads to stuck CPUs,
spinlock lockups, and other stalls in the host.
The problem was in the can_split_piggybacked_subcores() function, which
should always return false if the system is in a static micro-threading
mode. This fixes the problem by making can_split_piggybacked_subcores()
use subcore_config_ok() for its checks, as subcore_config_ok() includes
the necessary check for the static micro-threading modes.
Credit to Gautham Shenoy for working out that the reason for the hangs
and stalls we were seeing was that we were trying to do dynamic 4-way
micro-threading while we were in static 2-way mode.

When handling a hypervisor data or instruction storage interrupt (HDSI
or HISI), we look up the SLB entry for the address being accessed in
order to translate the effective address to a virtual address which can
be looked up in the guest HPT. This lookup can occasionally fail due
to the guest replacing an SLB entry without invalidating the evicted
SLB entry. In this situation an ERAT (effective to real address
translation cache) entry can persist and be used by the hardware even
though there is no longer a corresponding SLB entry.
Previously we would just deliver a data or instruction storage interrupt
(DSI or ISI) to the guest in this case. However, this is not correct
and has been observed to cause guests to crash, typically with a
data storage protection interrupt on a store to the vmemmap area.
Instead, what we do now is to synthesize a data or instruction segment
interrupt. That should cause the guest to reload an appropriate entry
into the SLB and retry the faulting instruction. If it still faults,
we should find an appropriate SLB entry next time and be able to handle
the fault.

This reverts commit 9678cdaae9 ("Use the POWER8 Micro Partition
Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8") because the original commit had
multiple, partly self-cancelling bugs, that could cause occasional
memory corruption.
In fact the logmpp instruction was incorrectly using register r0 as the
source of the buffer address and operation code, and depending on what
was in r0, it would either do nothing or corrupt the 64k page pointed to
by r0.
The logmpp instruction encoding and the operation code definitions could
be corrected, but then there is the problem that there is no clearly
defined way to know when the hardware has finished writing to the
buffer.
The original commit attempted to work around this by aborting the
write-out before starting the prefetch, but this is ineffective in the
case where the virtual core is now executing on a different physical
core from the one where the write-out was initiated.
These problems plus advice from the hardware designers not to use the
function (since the measured performance improvement from using the
feature was actually mostly negative), mean that reverting the code is
the best option.

Currently a CPU running a guest can receive a H_DOORBELL in the
following two cases:
1) When the CPU is napping due to CEDE or there not being a guest
vcpu.
2) The CPU is running the guest vcpu.
Case 1), the doorbell message is not cleared since we were waking up
from nap. Hence when the EE bit gets set on transition from guest to
host, the H_DOORBELL interrupt is delivered to the host and the
corresponding handler is invoked.
However in Case 2), the message gets cleared by the action of taking
the H_DOORBELL interrupt. Since the CPU was running a guest, instead
of invoking the doorbell handler, the code invokes the second-level
interrupt handler to switch the context from the guest to the host. At
this point the setting of the EE bit doesn't result in the CPU getting
the doorbell interrupt since it has already been delivered once. So,
the handler for this doorbell is never invoked!
This causes softlockups if the missed DOORBELL was an IPI sent from a
sibling subcore on the same CPU.
This patch fixes it by explitly invoking the doorbell handler on the
exit path if the exit reason is H_DOORBELL similar to the way an
EXTERNAL interrupt is handled. Since this will also handle Case 1), we
can unconditionally clear the doorbell message in
kvmppc_check_wake_reason.
