Currently, if the guest does an H_PROTECT hcall requesting that the
permissions on a HPT entry be changed to allow writing, we make the
requested change even if the page is marked read-only in the host
Linux page tables. This is a problem since it would for instance
allow a guest to modify a page that KSM has decided can be shared
between multiple guests.
To fix this, if the new permissions for the page allow writing, we need
to look up the memslot for the page, work out the host virtual address,
and look up the Linux page tables to get the PTE for the page. If that
PTE is read-only, we reduce the HPTE permissions to read-only.

This fixes a bug in the code which allows userspace to read out the
contents of the guest's hashed page table (HPT). On the second and
subsequent passes through the HPT, when we are reporting only those
entries that have changed, we were incorrectly initializing the index
field of the header with the index of the first entry we skipped
rather than the first changed entry. This fixes it.

With HV-style KVM, we maintain reverse-mapping lists that enable us to
find all the HPT (hashed page table) entries that reference each guest
physical page, with the heads of the lists in the memslot->arch.rmap
arrays. When we reset the HPT (i.e. when we reboot the VM), we clear
out all the HPT entries but we were not clearing out the reverse
mapping lists. The result is that as we create new HPT entries, the
lists get corrupted, which can easily lead to loops, resulting in the
host kernel hanging when it tries to traverse those lists.
This fixes the problem by zeroing out all the reverse mapping lists
when we zero out the HPT. This incidentally means that we are also
zeroing our record of the referenced and changed bits (not the bits
in the Linux PTEs, used by the Linux MM subsystem, but the bits used
by the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl, and those used by kvm_age_hva() and
kvm_test_age_hva()).

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.

This uses a bit in our record of the guest view of the HPTE to record
when the HPTE gets modified. We use a reserved bit for this, and ensure
that this bit is always cleared in HPTE values returned to the guest.
The recording of modified HPTEs is only done if other code indicates
its interest by setting kvm->arch.hpte_mod_interest to a non-zero value.
The reason for this is that when later commits add facilities for
userspace to read the HPT, the first pass of reading the HPT will be
quicker if there are no (or very few) HPTEs marked as modified,
rather than having most HPTEs marked as modified.

This restructures the code that creates HPT (hashed page table)
entries so that it can be called in situations where we don't have a
struct vcpu pointer, only a struct kvm pointer. It also fixes a bug
where kvmppc_map_vrma() would corrupt the guest R4 value.
Most of the work of kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter is now done by a new
function, kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter, which itself calls another new
function, kvmppc_do_h_enter, which contains most of the old
kvmppc_h_enter. The new kvmppc_do_h_enter takes explicit arguments
for the place to return the HPTE index, the Linux page tables to use,
and whether it is being called in real mode, thus removing the need
for it to have the vcpu as an argument.
Currently kvmppc_map_vrma creates the VRMA (virtual real mode area)
HPTEs by calling kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter, which is designed primarily
to handle H_ENTER hcalls from the guest that need to pin a page of
memory. Since H_ENTER returns the index of the created HPTE in R4,
kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter updates the guest R4, corrupting the guest R4
in the case when it gets called from kvmppc_map_vrma on the first
VCPU_RUN ioctl. With this, kvmppc_map_vrma instead calls
kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter with the address of a dummy word as the
place to store the HPTE index, thus avoiding corrupting the guest R4.

CPUID.7.0.EBX[1]=1 indicates IA32_TSC_ADJUST MSR 0x3b is supported
Basic design is to emulate the MSR by allowing reads and writes to a guest
vcpu specific location to store the value of the emulated MSR while adding
the value to the vmcs tsc_offset. In this way the IA32_TSC_ADJUST value will
be included in all reads to the TSC MSR whether through rdmsr or rdtsc. This
is of course as long as the "use TSC counter offsetting" VM-execution control
is enabled as well as the IA32_TSC_ADJUST control.
However, because hardware will only return the TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST +
vmsc tsc_offset for a guest process when it does and rdtsc (with the correct
settings) the value of our virtualized IA32_TSC_ADJUST must be stored in one
of these three locations. The argument against storing it in the actual MSR
is performance. This is likely to be seldom used while the save/restore is
required on every transition. IA32_TSC_ADJUST was created as a way to solve
some issues with writing TSC itself so that is not an option either.
The remaining option, defined above as our solution has the problem of
returning incorrect vmcs tsc_offset values (unless we intercept and fix, not
done here) as mentioned above. However, more problematic is that storing the
data in vmcs tsc_offset will have a different semantic effect on the system
than does using the actual MSR. This is illustrated in the following example:
The hypervisor set the IA32_TSC_ADJUST, then the guest sets it and a guest
process performs a rdtsc. In this case the guest process will get
TSC + IA32_TSC_ADJUST_hyperviser + vmsc tsc_offset including
IA32_TSC_ADJUST_guest. While the total system semantics changed the semantics
as seen by the guest do not and hence this will not cause a problem.

With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates:
ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ]
Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC.
system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple
per VM: the "master clock".
Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that
guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity.
Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.
Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
KVM added a global variable to guarantee monotonicity in the guest.
One of the reasons for that is that the time between
1. ktime_get_ts(×pec);
2. rdtscll(tsc);
Is variable. That is, given a host with stable TSC, suppose that
two VCPUs read the same time via ktime_get_ts() above.
The time required to execute 2. is not the same on those two instances
executing in different VCPUS (cache misses, interrupts...).
If the TSC value that is used by the host to interpolate when
calculating the monotonic time is the same value used to calculate
the tsc_timestamp value stored in the pvclock data structure, and
a single <system_timestamp, tsc_timestamp> tuple is visible to all
vcpus simultaneously, this problem disappears. See comment on top
of pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy for details.
Monotonicity is then guaranteed by synchronicity of the host TSCs
and guest TSCs.
Set TSC stable pvclock flag in that case, allowing the guest to read
clock from userspace.

Currently the code that accounts stolen time tends to overestimate the
stolen time, and will sometimes report more stolen time in a DTL
(dispatch trace log) entry than has elapsed since the last DTL entry.
This can cause guests to underflow the user or system time measured
for some tasks, leading to ridiculous CPU percentages and total runtimes
being reported by top and other utilities.
In addition, the current code was designed for the previous policy where
a vcore would only run when all the vcpus in it were runnable, and so
only counted stolen time on a per-vcore basis. Now that a vcore can
run while some of the vcpus in it are doing other things in the kernel
(e.g. handling a page fault), we need to count the time when a vcpu task
is preempted while it is not running as part of a vcore as stolen also.
To do this, we bring back the BUSY_IN_HOST vcpu state and extend the
vcpu_load/put functions to count preemption time while the vcpu is
in that state. Handling the transitions between the RUNNING and
BUSY_IN_HOST states requires checking and updating two variables
(accumulated time stolen and time last preempted), so we add a new
spinlock, vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock. This protects both the per-vcpu
stolen/preempt-time variables, and the per-vcore variables while this
vcpu is running the vcore.
Finally, we now don't count time spent in userspace as stolen time.
The task could be executing in userspace on behalf of the vcpu, or
it could be preempted, or the vcpu could be genuinely stopped. Since
we have no way of dividing up the time between these cases, we don't
count any of it as stolen.

Currently the Book3S HV code implements a policy on multi-threaded
processors (i.e. POWER7) that requires all of the active vcpus in a
virtual core to be ready to run before we run the virtual core.
However, that causes problems on reset, because reset stops all vcpus
except vcpu 0, and can also reduce throughput since all four threads
in a virtual core have to wait whenever any one of them hits a
hypervisor page fault.
This relaxes the policy, allowing the virtual core to run as soon as
any vcpu in it is runnable. With this, the KVMPPC_VCPU_STOPPED state
and the KVMPPC_VCPU_BUSY_IN_HOST state have been combined into a single
KVMPPC_VCPU_NOTREADY state, since we no longer need to distinguish
between them.

If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads
in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is
possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without
first pulling them all out of the guest. Currently this only happens
rarely, when a vcpu is first started. This fixes some bugs and
omissions in the code in this case.
First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make
a DTL entry for it. Secondly, if it comes along while the master
vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the
master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core. To handle this correctly
we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING. Thirdly, there is
a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req
before waiting to see it get to nap. A latecomer thread could have
its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore
never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap
timeouts.

Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault,
this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to
kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock.
In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether
all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the
caller has already done that. The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't
actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that.
The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we

When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in
single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of
the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one
active hardware thread. This is because of the hardware restriction
in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core
must be in the same logical partition. Complying with this restriction
is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one
hardware thread is active.
This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to
make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than
thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists. The KVM
code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the
secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be
sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.
