Paul Mackerras 8b24e69fc4 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Close race with testing for signals on guest entry
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.
