POWER9 has hardware bugs relating to transactional memory and thread
reconfiguration (changes to hardware SMT mode). Specifically, the core
does not have enough storage to store a complete checkpoint of all the
architected state for all four threads. The DD2.2 version of POWER9
includes hardware modifications designed to allow hypervisor software
to implement workarounds for these problems. This patch implements
those workarounds in KVM code so that KVM guests see a full, working
transactional memory implementation.
The problems center around the use of TM suspended state, where the
CPU has a checkpointed state but execution is not transactional. The
workaround is to implement a "fake suspend" state, which looks to the
guest like suspended state but the CPU does not store a checkpoint.
In this state, any instruction that would cause a transition to
transactional state (rfid, rfebb, mtmsrd, tresume) or would use the
checkpointed state (treclaim) causes a "soft patch" interrupt (vector
0x1500) to the hypervisor so that it can be emulated. The trechkpt
instruction also causes a soft patch interrupt.
On POWER9 DD2.2, we avoid returning to the guest in any state which
would require a checkpoint to be present. The trechkpt in the guest
entry path which would normally create that checkpoint is replaced by
either a transition to fake suspend state, if the guest is in suspend
state, or a rollback to the pre-transactional state if the guest is in
transactional state. Fake suspend state is indicated by a flag in the
PACA plus a new bit in the PSSCR. The new PSSCR bit is write-only and
reads back as 0.
On exit from the guest, if the guest is in fake suspend state, we still
do the treclaim instruction as we would in real suspend state, in order
to get into non-transactional state, but we do not save the resulting
register state since there was no checkpoint.
Emulation of the instructions that cause a softpatch interrupt is
handled in two paths. If the guest is in real suspend mode, we call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() to handle the cases where the guest is
transitioning to transactional state. This is called before we do the
treclaim in the guest exit path; because we haven't done treclaim, we
can get back to the guest with the transaction still active. If the
instruction is a case that kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() doesn't
handle, or if the guest is in fake suspend state, then we proceed to
do the complete guest exit path and subsequently call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation() in host context with the MMU on. This handles
all the cases including the cases that generate program interrupts
(illegal instruction or TM Bad Thing) and facility unavailable
interrupts.
The emulation is reasonably straightforward and is mostly concerned
with checking for exception conditions and updating the state of
registers such as MSR and CR0. The treclaim emulation takes care to
ensure that the TEXASR register gets updated as if it were the guest
treclaim instruction that had done failure recording, not the treclaim
done in hypervisor state in the guest exit path.
With this, the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM capability returns true (1) even if
transactional memory is not available to host userspace.

Some versions of gcc generate a warning that the variable "emulated"
may be used uninitialized in function kvmppc_handle_load128_by2x64().
It would be used uninitialized if kvmppc_handle_load128_by2x64 was
ever called with vcpu->arch.mmio_vmx_copy_nums == 0, but neither of
the callers ever do that, so there is no actual bug. When gcc
generates a warning, it causes the build to fail because arch/powerpc
is compiled with -Werror.
This silences the warning by initializing "emulated" to EMULATE_DONE.

Commit accb757d79 ("KVM: Move vcpu_load to arch-specific
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run", 2017-12-04) added a "goto out"
statement and an "out:" label to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run().
Since the only "goto out" is inside a CONFIG_VSX block,
compiling with CONFIG_VSX=n gives a warning that label "out"
is defined but not used, and because arch/powerpc is compiled
with -Werror, that becomes a compile error that makes the kernel
build fail.

CONFIG_ALTIVEC, with a "goto out" statement.
In order to make the build succeed, this adds a #ifdef around the
"out:" label. This is a minimal, ugly fix, to be replaced later
by a refactoring of the code. Since CONFIG_VSX depends on
CONFIG_ALTIVEC, it is sufficient to use #ifdef CONFIG_ALTIVEC here.

This adds code to enable the HPT resizing code to work on POWER9,
which uses a slightly modified HPT entry format compared to POWER8.
On POWER9, we convert HPTEs read from the HPT from the new format to
the old format so that the rest of the HPT resizing code can work as
before. HPTEs written to the new HPT are converted to the new format
as the last step before writing them into the new HPT.
This takes out the checks added by commit bcd3bb63db ("KVM: PPC:

now that HPT resizing works on POWER9.

This adds a new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, that gives userspace
information about the underlying machine's level of vulnerability
to the recently announced vulnerabilities CVE-2017-5715,
CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5754, and whether the machine provides
instructions to assist software to work around the vulnerabilities.
The ioctl returns two u64 words describing characteristics of the
CPU and required software behaviour respectively, plus two mask
words which indicate which bits have been filled in by the kernel,
for extensibility. The bit definitions are the same as for the
new H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall.
There is also a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_GET_CPU_CHAR, which

This adds a register identifier for use with the one_reg interface
to allow the decrementer expiry time to be read and written by
userspace. The decrementer expiry time is in guest timebase units
and is equal to the sum of the decrementer and the guest timebase.
(The expiry time is used rather than the decrementer value itself
because the expiry time is not constantly changing, though the
decrementer value is, while the guest vcpu is not running.)
Without this, a guest vcpu migrated to a new host will see its
decrementer set to some random value. On POWER8 and earlier, the
decrementer is 32 bits wide and counts down at 512MHz, so the
guest vcpu will potentially see no decrementer interrupts for up
to about 4 seconds, which will lead to a stall. With POWER9, the
decrementer is now 56 bits side, so the stall can be much longer
(up to 2.23 years) and more noticeable.
To help work around the problem in cases where userspace has not been
updated to migrate the decrementer expiry time, we now set the
default decrementer expiry at vcpu creation time to the current time
rather than the maximum possible value. This should mean an
immediate decrementer interrupt when a migrated vcpu starts
running. In cases where the decrementer is 32 bits wide and more
than 4 seconds elapse between the creation of the vcpu and when it
first runs, the decrementer would have wrapped around to positive
values and there may still be a stall - but this is no worse than
the current situation. In the large-decrementer case, we are sure
to get an immediate decrementer interrupt (assuming the time from
vcpu creation to first run is less than 2.23 years) and we thus
avoid a very long stall.

After the vcpu_load/vcpu_put pushdown, the handling of asynchronous VCPU
ioctl is already much clearer in that it is obvious that they bypass
vcpu_load and vcpu_put.
However, it is still not perfect in that the different state of the VCPU
mutex is still hidden in the caller. Separate those ioctls into a new
function kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl that returns -ENOIOCTLCMD for more
"traditional" synchronous ioctls.

Move the calls to vcpu_load() and vcpu_put() in to the architecture

further architecture-specific ioctls on to other functions.
Some architectures support asynchronous vcpu ioctls which cannot call
vcpu_load() or take the vcpu->mutex, because that would prevent
concurrent execution with a running VCPU, which is the intended purpose
of these ioctls, for example because they inject interrupts.
We repeat the separate checks for these specifics in the architecture

the original signal mask".
This, however, is only true, when the calling task has a signal handler

* The KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO returns information about the HPT MMU on a

* The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl on a radix host will switch the

* For simplicity, we now allocate the rmap array for each memslot,

Currently we use CPU_FTR_TM to decide if the CPU/kernel can support
TM (Transactional Memory), and if it's true we advertise that to
Qemu (or similar) via KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM.
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM is the user-visible feature bit, which indicates that
the CPU and kernel can support TM. Currently CPU_FTR_TM and
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM always have the same value, either true or false, so
using the former for KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM is correct.
However some Power9 CPUs can operate in a mode where TM is enabled but
TM suspended state is disabled. In this mode CPU_FTR_TM is true, but
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM is false. Instead a different PPC_FEATURE2 bit is
set, to indicate that this different mode of TM is available.
It is not safe to let guests use TM as-is, when the CPU is in this
mode. So to prevent that from happening, use PPC_FEATURE2_HTM to
determine the value of KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM.

This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves
on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests.
If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check
exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to
the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit
with the exit reason indicating an NMI.
The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM
is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue
"ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit
type, it treats it as a fatal error. However, the guest could have
handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to
guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old
QEMU.

On POWER9, we no longer have the restriction that we had on POWER8
where all threads in a core have to be in the same partition, so
the CPU threads are now independent. However, we still want to be
able to run guests with a virtual SMT topology, if only to allow
migration of guests from POWER8 systems to POWER9.
A guest that has a virtual SMT mode greater than 1 will expect to
be able to use the doorbell facility; it will expect the msgsndp
and msgclrp instructions to work appropriately and to be able to read
sensible values from the TIR (thread identification register) and
DPDES (directed privileged doorbell exception status) special-purpose
registers. However, since each CPU thread is a separate sub-processor
in POWER9, these instructions and registers can only be used within
a single CPU thread.
In order for these instructions to appear to act correctly according
to the guest's virtual SMT mode, we have to trap and emulate them.
We cause them to trap by clearing the HFSCR_MSGP bit in the HFSCR
register. The emulation is triggered by the hypervisor facility
unavailable interrupt that occurs when the guest uses them.
To cause a doorbell interrupt to occur within the guest, we set the
DPDES register to 1. If the guest has interrupts enabled, the CPU
will generate a doorbell interrupt and clear the DPDES register in
hardware. The DPDES hardware register for the guest is saved in the
vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field. Since this gets written by the guest
exit code, other VCPUs wishing to cause a doorbell interrupt don't
write that field directly, but instead set a vcpu->arch.doorbell_request
flag. This is consumed and set to 0 by the guest entry code, which
then sets DPDES to 1.
Emulating reads of the DPDES register is somewhat involved, because
it requires reading the doorbell pending interrupt status of all of the
VCPU threads in the virtual core, and if any of those VCPUs are
running, their doorbell status is only up-to-date in the hardware
DPDES registers of the CPUs where they are running. In order to get
a reasonable approximation of the current doorbell status, we send
those CPUs an IPI, causing an exit from the guest which will update
the vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field. We then use that value in
constructing the emulated DPDES register value.

This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous
multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that
get assigned to each virtual core. Previously, the virtual SMT mode
was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace
wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by
using a sparse CPU numbering. This had the disadvantage that the
vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on
a POWER8 with 8 threads per core. With this patch, userspace can
set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu
numbering.
On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode
must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore. On
POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT
mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is
effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent
and can all be in different partitions.

that vcpu->requests is used with other threads, likely requiring
memory barriers, which it does.

Commit e91aa8e6ec ("KVM: PPC: Enable IOMMU_API for KVM_BOOK3S_64
permanently", 2017-03-22) enabled the SPAPR TCE code for all 64-bit
Book 3S kernel configurations in order to simplify the code and
reduce #ifdefs. However, 64-bit Book 3S PPC platforms other than
pseries and powernv don't implement the necessary IOMMU callbacks,
leading to build failures like the following (for a pasemi config):
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
warning: (KVM_BOOK3S_64) selects SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU which has unmet direct dependencies (IOMMU_SUPPORT && (PPC_POWERNV || PPC_PSERIES))

/home/paulus/kernel/kvm/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_vio.c: In function ‘kvmppc_clear_tce’:

^
To fix this, we make the inclusion of the SPAPR TCE support, and the
code that uses it in book3s_vio.c and book3s_vio_hv.c, depend on
the inclusion of support for the pseries and/or powernv platforms.
This means that when running a 'pseries' guest on those platforms,
the guest won't have in-kernel acceleration of the PAPR TCE hypercalls,
but at least now they compile.

The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel
XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben
Herrenschmidt.
POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt
Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly
to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention.
With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but
performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the
XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.
Conflicts:
arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu_setup_power.S [cherry-picked fix]
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_xive.c [include asm/debugfs.h]
This merges in the powerpc topic/xive branch to bring in the code for
the in-kernel XICS interrupt controller emulation to use the new XIVE
(eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine) hardware in the POWER9 chip
directly, rather than via a XICS emulation in firmware.

This allows the host kernel to handle H_PUT_TCE, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT
and H_STUFF_TCE requests targeted an IOMMU TCE table used for VFIO
without passing them to user space which saves time on switching
to user space and back.
This adds H_PUT_TCE/H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE handlers to KVM.
KVM tries to handle a TCE request in the real mode, if failed
it passes the request to the virtual mode to complete the operation.
If it a virtual mode handler fails, the request is passed to
the user space; this is not expected to happen though.
To avoid dealing with page use counters (which is tricky in real mode),
this only accelerates SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 clients which are required
to pre-register the userspace memory. The very first TCE request will
be handled in the VFIO SPAPR TCE driver anyway as the userspace view
of the TCE table (iommu_table::it_userspace) is not allocated till
the very first mapping happens and we cannot call vmalloc in real mode.
If we fail to update a hardware IOMMU table unexpected reason, we just
clear it and move on as there is nothing really we can do about it -
for example, if we hot plug a VFIO device to a guest, existing TCE tables
will be mirrored automatically to the hardware and there is no interface
to report to the guest about possible failures.
This adds new attribute - KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE - to
the VFIO KVM device. It takes a VFIO group fd and SPAPR TCE table fd
and associates a physical IOMMU table with the SPAPR TCE table (which
is a guest view of the hardware IOMMU table). The iommu_table object
is cached and referenced so we do not have to look up for it in real mode.
This does not implement the UNSET counterpart as there is no use for it -
once the acceleration is enabled, the existing userspace won't
disable it unless a VFIO container is destroyed; this adds necessary
cleanup to the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL handler.
This advertises the new KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability to the user
space.
This adds real mode version of WARN_ON_ONCE() as the generic version
causes problems with rcu_sched. Since we testing what vmalloc_to_phys()
returns in the code, this also adds a check for already existing
vmalloc_to_phys() call in kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect().
This finally makes use of vfio_external_user_iommu_id() which was
introduced quite some time ago and was considered for removal.
Tests show that this patch increases transmission speed from 220MB/s
to 750..1020MB/s on 10Gb network (Chelsea CXGB3 10Gb ethernet card).

The new HPT resizing code added in commit b5baa68773 ("KVM: PPC:

would be best not to advertise it to userspace on POWER9 systems

The purpose of the KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK API is to let userspace "kick"
a VCPU out of KVM_RUN through a POSIX signal. A signal is attached
to a dummy signal handler; by blocking the signal outside KVM_RUN and
unblocking it inside, this possible race is closed:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
check flag
set flag
raise signal
(signal handler does nothing)
KVM_RUN
However, one issue with KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK is that it has to take
tsk->sighand->siglock on every KVM_RUN. This lock is often on a
remote NUMA node, because it is on the node of a thread's creator.
Taking this lock can be very expensive if there are many userspace
exits (as is the case for SMP Windows VMs without Hyper-V reference
time counter).
As an alternative, we can put the flag directly in kvm_run so that
KVM can see it:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
raise signal
signal handler
set run->immediate_exit
KVM_RUN
check run->immediate_exit

This adds a few last pieces of the support for radix guests:
* Implement the backends for the KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU and
KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctls for radix guests
* On POWER9, allow secondary threads to be on/off-lined while guests
are running.
* Set up LPCR and the partition table entry for radix guests.
* Don't allocate the rmap array in the kvm_memory_slot structure
on radix.
* Don't try to initialize the HPT for radix guests, since they don't
have an HPT.
* Take out the code that prevents the HV KVM module from
initializing on radix hosts.
At this stage, we only support radix guests if the host is running
in radix mode, and only support HPT guests if the host is running in
HPT mode. Thus a guest cannot switch from one mode to the other,
which enables some simplifications.

This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to
find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest. The two
capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using
the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a
process table and segment tables. (Note that the MMUs in the
POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables
when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does).
The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify
whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to
specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process
table.
The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about
the radix MMU. It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries
(base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the
radix tree) and the encoding used to specify the various page
sizes for the TLB invalidate entry instruction.
Initially, both capabilities return 0 and the ioctls return -EINVAL,
until the necessary infrastructure for them to operate correctly
is added.

With POWER9, each CPU thread has its own MMU context and can be
in the host or a guest independently of the other threads; there is
still however a restriction that all threads must use the same type
of address translation, either radix tree or hashed page table (HPT).
Since we only support HPT guests on a HPT host at this point, we
can treat the threads as being independent, and avoid all of the
work of coordinating the CPU threads. To make this simpler, we
introduce a new threads_per_vcore() function that returns 1 on
POWER9 and threads_per_subcore on POWER7/8, and use that instead
of threads_per_subcore or threads_per_core in various places.
This also changes the value of the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability on
POWER9 systems from 4 to 1, so that userspace will not try to
create VMs with multiple vcpus per vcore. (If userspace did create
a VM that thought it was in an SMT mode, the VM might try to use
the msgsndp instruction, which will not work as expected. In
future it may be possible to trap and emulate msgsndp in order to
allow VMs to think they are in an SMT mode, if only for the purpose
of allowing migration from POWER8 systems.)
With all this, we can now run guests on POWER9 as long as the host
is running with HPT translation. Since userspace currently has no
way to request radix tree translation for the guest, the guest has
no choice but to use HPT translation.
