At present, interrupts are hard-disabled fairly late in the guest
entry path, in the assembly code. Since we check for pending signals
for the vCPU(s) task(s) earlier in the guest entry path, it is
possible for a signal to be delivered before we enter the guest but
not be noticed until after we exit the guest for some other reason.
Similarly, it is possible for the scheduler to request a reschedule
while we are in the guest entry path, and we won't notice until after
we have run the guest, potentially for a whole timeslice.
Furthermore, with a radix guest on POWER9, we can take the interrupt
with the MMU on. In this case we end up leaving interrupts
hard-disabled after the guest exit, and they are likely to stay
hard-disabled until we exit to userspace or context-switch to
another process. This was masking the fact that we were also not
setting the RI (recoverable interrupt) bit in the MSR, meaning
that if we had taken an interrupt, it would have crashed the host
kernel with an unrecoverable interrupt message.
To close these races, we need to check for signals and reschedule
requests after hard-disabling interrupts, and then keep interrupts
hard-disabled until we enter the guest. If there is a signal or a
reschedule request from another CPU, it will send an IPI, which will
cause a guest exit.
This puts the interrupt disabling before we call kvmppc_start_thread()
for all the secondary threads of this core that are going to run vCPUs.
The reason for that is that once we have started the secondary threads
there is no easy way to back out without going through at least part
of the guest entry path. However, kvmppc_start_thread() includes some
code for radix guests which needs to call smp_call_function(), which
must be called with interrupts enabled. To solve this problem, this
patch moves that code into a separate function that is called earlier.
When the guest exit is caused by an external interrupt, a hypervisor
doorbell or a hypervisor maintenance interrupt, we now handle these
using the replay facility. __kvmppc_vcore_entry() now returns the
trap number that caused the exit on this thread, and instead of the
assembly code jumping to the handler entry, we return to C code with
interrupts still hard-disabled and set the irq_happened flag in the
PACA, so that when we do local_irq_enable() the appropriate handler
gets called.
With all this, we now have the interrupt soft-enable flag clear while
we are in the guest. This is useful because code in the real-mode
hypercall handlers that checks whether interrupts are enabled will
now see that they are disabled, which is correct, since interrupts
are hard-disabled in the real-mode code.

POWER9 introduces a new mode for the decrementer register, called
large decrementer mode, in which the decrementer counter is 56 bits
wide rather than 32, and reads are sign-extended rather than
zero-extended. For the decrementer, this new mode is optional and
controlled by a bit in the LPCR. The hypervisor decrementer (HDEC)
is 56 bits wide on POWER9 and has no mode control.
Since KVM code reads and writes the decrementer and hypervisor
decrementer registers in a few places, it needs to be aware of the
need to treat the decrementer value as a 64-bit quantity, and only do
a 32-bit sign extension when large decrementer mode is not in effect.
Similarly, the HDEC should always be treated as a 64-bit quantity on
POWER9. We define a new EXTEND_HDEC macro to encapsulate the feature
test for POWER9 and the sign extension.
To enable the sign extension to be removed in large decrementer mode,
we test the LPCR_LD bit in the host LPCR image stored in the struct
kvm for the guest. If is set then large decrementer mode is enabled
and the sign extension should be skipped.
This is partly based on an earlier patch by Oliver O'Halloran.

We have two arrays in kvm_host_state that contain register values for
the PMU. Currently we only create an asm-offsets symbol for the base of
the arrays, and do the array offset in the assembly code.
Creating an asm-offsets symbol for each field individually makes the
code much nicer to read, particularly for the MMCRx/SIxR/SDAR fields, and
might have helped us notice the recent double restore bug we had in this
code.

support virtualizing guest memory. Removing PPC970 support also
lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous
real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers
case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first
accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and
the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode.

These two registers are already saved in the block above. Aside from
being unnecessary, by the time we get down to the second save location
r8 no longer contains MMCR2, so we are clobbering the saved value with
PMC5.
MMCR2 primarily consists of counter freeze bits. So restoring the value
of PMC5 into MMCR2 will most likely have the effect of freezing
counters.

Currently we save the host PMU configuration, counter values, etc.,
when entering a guest, and restore it on return from the guest.
(We have to do this because the guest has control of the PMU while
it is executing.) However, we missed saving/restoring the SIAR and
SDAR registers, as well as the registers which are new on POWER8,
namely SIER and MMCR2.
This adds code to save the values of these registers when entering
the guest and restore them on exit. This also works around the bug
in POWER8 where setting PMAE with a counter already negative doesn't
generate an interrupt.

On a threaded processor such as POWER7, we group VCPUs into virtual
cores and arrange that the VCPUs in a virtual core run on the same
physical core. Currently we don't enforce any correspondence between
virtual thread numbers within a virtual core and physical thread
numbers. Physical threads are allocated starting at 0 on a first-come
first-served basis to runnable virtual threads (VCPUs).
POWER8 implements a new "msgsndp" instruction which guest kernels can
use to interrupt other threads in the same core or sub-core. Since
the instruction takes the destination physical thread ID as a parameter,
it becomes necessary to align the physical thread IDs with the virtual
thread IDs, that is, to make sure virtual thread N within a virtual
core always runs on physical thread N.
This means that it's possible that thread 0, which is where we call
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, may end up running some other vcpu than the
one whose task called kvmppc_run_core(), or it may end up running
no vcpu at all, if for example thread 0 of the virtual core is
currently executing in userspace. However, we do need thread 0
to be responsible for switching the MMU -- a previous version of
this patch that had other threads switching the MMU was found to
be responsible for occasional memory corruption and machine check
interrupts in the guest on POWER7 machines.
To accommodate this, we no longer pass the vcpu pointer to
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, but instead let the assembly code load it from
the PACA. Since the assembly code will need to know the kvm pointer
and the thread ID for threads which don't have a vcpu, we move the
thread ID into the PACA and we add a kvm pointer to the virtual core
structure.
In the case where thread 0 has no vcpu to run, it still calls into
kvmppc_hv_entry in order to do the MMU switch, and then naps until
either its vcpu is ready to run in the guest, or some other thread
needs to exit the guest. In the latter case, thread 0 jumps to the
code that switches the MMU back to the host. This control flow means
that now we switch the MMU before loading any guest vcpu state.
Similarly, on guest exit we now save all the guest vcpu state before
switching the MMU back to the host. This has required substantial
code movement, making the diff rather large.

It turns out that on POWER7, writing to the DABR can cause a corrupted
value to be written if the PMU is active and updating SDAR in continuous
sampling mode. To work around this, we make sure that the PMU is inactive
and SDAR updates are disabled (via MMCRA) when we are context-switching
DABR.
When the guest sets DABR via the H_SET_DABR hypercall, we use a slightly
different workaround, which is to read back the DABR and write it again
if it got corrupted.
While we are at it, make it consistent that the saving and restoring
of the guest's non-volatile GPRs and the FPRs are done with the guest
setup of the PMU active.

The ABI specifies that CR fields CR2--CR4 are nonvolatile across function
calls. Currently __kvmppc_vcore_entry doesn't save and restore the CR,
leading to CR2--CR4 getting corrupted with guest values, possibly leading
to incorrect behaviour in its caller. This adds instructions to save
and restore CR at the points where we save and restore the nonvolatile

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 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.
