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.

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.

[agraf: squash in booke changes]
Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
Currently we request write access to all pages that get mapped into the
guest, even if the guest is only loading from the page. This reduces
the effectiveness of KSM because it means that we unshare every page we
access. Also, we always set the changed (C) bit in the guest HPTE if
it allows writing, even for a guest load.
This fixes both these problems. We pass an 'iswrite' flag to the
mmu.xlate() functions and to kvmppc_mmu_map_page() to indicate whether
the access is a load or a store. The mmu.xlate() functions now only
set C for stores. kvmppc_gfn_to_pfn() now calls gfn_to_pfn_prot()
instead of gfn_to_pfn() so that it can indicate whether we need write
access to the page, and get back a 'writable' flag to indicate whether
the page is writable or not. If that 'writable' flag is clear, we then
make the host HPTE read-only even if the guest HPTE allowed writing.
This means that we can get a protection fault when the guest writes to a
page that it has mapped read-write but which is read-only on the host
side (perhaps due to KSM having merged the page). Thus we now call
kvmppc_handle_pagefault() for protection faults as well as HPTE not found
faults. In kvmppc_handle_pagefault(), if the access was allowed by the
guest HPTE and we thus need to install a new host HPTE, we then need to
remove the old host HPTE if there is one. This is done with a new
function, kvmppc_mmu_unmap_page(), which uses kvmppc_mmu_pte_vflush() to
find and remove the old host HPTE.
Since the memslot-related functions require the KVM SRCU read lock to
be held, this adds srcu_read_lock/unlock pairs around the calls to
kvmppc_handle_pagefault().
Finally, this changes kvmppc_mmu_book3s_32_xlate_pte() to not ignore
guest HPTEs that don't permit access, and to return -EPERM for accesses
that are not permitted by the page protections.

This patch filters noslot pfn out from error pfns based on Marcelo comment:
noslot pfn is not a error pfn
After this patch,
- is_noslot_pfn indicates that the gfn is not in slot
- is_error_pfn indicates that the gfn is in slot but the error is occurred
when translate the gfn to pfn
- is_error_noslot_pfn indicates that the pfn either it is error pfns or it
is noslot pfn
And is_invalid_pfn can be removed, it makes the code more clean

When running the 64-bit Book3s PR code without CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, we were
doing a few things wrong, most notably access to PACA fields without making
sure that the pointers stay stable accross the access (preempt_disable()).
This patch moves to_svcpu towards a get/put model which allows us to disable
preemption while accessing the shadow vcpu fields in the PACA. That way we
can run preemptible and everyone's happy!

Up until now we were doing segment mappings wrong on Book3s_32. For Book3s_64
we were using a trick where we know that a single mmu_context gives us 16 bits
of context ids.
The mm system on Book3s_32 instead uses a clever algorithm to distribute VSIDs
across the available range, so a context id really only gives us 16 available
VSIDs.
To keep at least a few guest processes in the SID shadow, let's map a number of
contexts that we can use as VSID pool. This makes the code be actually correct
and shouldn't hurt performance too much.

We need to override EA as well as PA lookups for the magic page. When the guest
tells us to project it, the magic page overrides any guest mappings.
In order to reflect that, we need to hook into all the MMU layers of KVM to

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.
