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. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This adds code to allow us to use a different value for the HFSCR (Hypervisor Facilities Status and Control Register) when running the guest from that which applies in the host. The reason for doing this is to allow us to trap the msgsndp instruction and related operations in future so that they can be virtualized. We also save the value of HFSCR when a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt occurs, because the high byte of HFSCR indicates which facility the guest attempted to access. We save and restore the host value on guest entry/exit because some bits of it affect host userspace execution. We only do all this on POWER9, not on POWER8, because we are not intending to virtualize any of the facilities controlled by HFSCR on POWER8. In particular, the HFSCR bit that controls execution of msgsndp and related operations does not exist on POWER8. The HFSCR doesn't exist at all on POWER7.

The system reset interrupt is used for crash/debug situations, so it is desirable to have as little impact on the normal state of the system as possible. Currently it uses the current kernel stack to process the exception. This stores into the stack which may be involved with the crash. The stack pointer may be corrupted, or it may have overflowed. Avoid or minimise these problems by creating a dedicated NMI stack for the system reset interrupt to use.

In preparation for using a dedicated stack for system reset interrupts, prevent a nested system reset from recovering, in order to simplify code that is called in crash/debug path. This allows a system reset interrupt to just use the base stack pointer. Keep an in_nmi nesting counter similarly to the in_mce counter. Consider the interrrupt non-recoverable if it is taken inside another system reset. Interrupt nesting could be allowed similarly to MCE, but system reset is a special case that's not for normal operation, so simplicity wins until there is requirement for nested system reset interrupts.

The system reset interrupt can occur when MSR_EE=0, and it currently uses the PACA_EXGEN save area. Some PACA_EXGEN interrupts have a window where MSR_RI=1 and MSR_EE=0 when the save area is still in use. A system reset interrupt in this window can lead to undetected corruption when the save area gets overwritten. This patch introduces PACA_EXNMI save area for system reset exceptions, which closes this corruption window. It's also helpful to retain the EXGEN state for debugging situations, even if not considering the recoverability aspect. This patch also moves the PACA_EXMC area down to a less frequently used part of the paca with the new save area.

Recently in commit f6eedbba ("powerpc/mm/hash: Increase VA range to 128TB"), we increased H_PGD_INDEX_SIZE to 15 when we're building with 64K pages. This makes it larger than RADIX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE (13), which means the logic to calculate MAX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE in book3s/64/pgtable.h is wrong. The end result is that the PGD (Page Global Directory, ie top level page table) of the kernel (aka. swapper_pg_dir), is too small. This generally doesn't lead to a crash, as we don't use the full range in normal operation. However if we try to dump the kernel pagetables we can trigger a crash because we walk off the end of the pgd into other memory and eventually try to dereference something bogus: $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_pagetables Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xe8fece0000000000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000072314 cpu 0xc: Vector: 380 (Data SLB Access) at [c0000000daa13890] pc: c000000000072314: ptdump_show+0x164/0x430 lr: c000000000072550: ptdump_show+0x3a0/0x430 dar: e802cf0000000000 seq_read+0xf8/0x560 full_proxy_read+0x84/0xc0 __vfs_read+0x6c/0x1d0 vfs_read+0xbc/0x1b0 SyS_read+0x6c/0x110 system_call+0x38/0xfc The root cause is that MAX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE isn't actually computed to be the max of H_PGD_INDEX_SIZE or RADIX_PGD_INDEX_SIZE.

POWER9 DD1.0 hardware has a bug where the SPRs of a thread waking up from stop 0,1,2 with ESL=1 can endup being misplaced in the core. Thus the HSPRG0 of a thread waking up from can contain the paca pointer of its sibling. This patch implements a context recovery framework within threads of a core, by provisioning space in paca_struct for saving every sibling threads's paca pointers. Basically, we should be able to arrive at the right paca pointer from any of the thread's existing paca pointer. At bootup, during powernv idle-init, we save the paca address of every CPU in each one its siblings paca_struct in the slot corresponding to this CPU's index in the core. On wakeup from a stop, the thread will determine its index in the core from the TIR register and recover its PACA pointer by indexing into the correct slot in the provisioned space in the current PACA. Furthermore, ensure that the NVGPRs are restored from the stack on the way out by setting the NAPSTATELOST in paca.

POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry) and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions. Both instructions get a set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the instruction word. The tlbiel instruction now has a second register operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and should otherwise contain 0. This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9 as well as older processors. Since we only handle HPT guests so far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally execute different instructions depending on the processor. The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets. Rather than using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time and store it in the kvm_arch struct. That will make it possible to get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with compatibility with future processors. Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the guest on each processor. Therefore we don't set all bits in the tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

They are context-switched between host and guest, and the guest values can be read and set via the one_reg interface. The PSSCR contains some fields which are guest-accessible and some which are only accessible in hypervisor mode. We only allow the guest-accessible fields to be read or set by userspace.

Partially copied from commit df0698be ("ARM: stack protector: change the canary value per task") A new random value for the canary is stored in the task struct whenever a new task is forked. This is meant to allow for different canary values per task. On powerpc, GCC expects the canary value to be found in a global variable called __stack_chk_guard. So this variable has to be updated with the value stored in the task struct whenever a task switch occurs. Because the variable GCC expects is global, this cannot work on SMP unfortunately. So, on SMP, the same initial canary value is kept throughout, making this feature a bit less effective although it is still useful.

When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress, we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state. Although XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER. This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER. To allow userspace to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG specifier. The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one per CPU thread. The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector. (CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.) For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value. With this, the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure. This also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores would share a single VTB register. PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM has no notion of CPU threads or SMT. For PR KVM we move the VTB state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

Radix and hash MMU models support different page table sizes. Make the #defines a variable so that existing code can work with variable sizes. Slice related code is only used by hash, so use hash constants there. We will replicate some of the boundary conditions with resepct to TASK_SIZE using radix values too. Right now we do boundary condition check using hash constants. Swapper pgdir size is initialized in asm code. We select the max pgd size to keep it simple. For now we select hash pgdir. When adding radix we will switch that to radix pgdir which is 64K. BUILD_BUG_ON check which is removed is already done in hugepage_init() using MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON().

Add the kconfig logic & assembly support for handling live patched functions. This depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, which in turn depends on the new -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI, which is only supported currently on ppc64le. Live patching is handled by a special ftrace handler. This means it runs from ftrace_caller(). The live patch handler modifies the NIP so as to redirect the return from ftrace_caller() to the new patched function. However there is one particularly tricky case we need to handle. If a function A calls another function B, and it is known at link time that they share the same TOC, then A will not save or restore its TOC, and will call the local entry point of B. When we live patch B, we replace it with a new function C, which may not have the same TOC as A. At live patch time it's too late to modify A to do the TOC save/restore, so the live patching code must interpose itself between A and C, and do the TOC save/restore that A omitted. An additionaly complication is that the livepatch code can not create a stack frame in order to save the TOC. That is because if C takes > 8 arguments, or is varargs, A will have written the arguments for C in A's stack frame. To solve this, we introduce a "livepatch stack" which grows upward from the base of the regular stack, and is used to store the TOC & LR when calling a live patched function. When the patched function returns, we retrieve the real LR & TOC from the livepatch stack, restore them, and pop the livepatch "stack frame".

Various e500 core have different cache architecture, so they need different cache flush operations. Therefore, add a callback function cpu_flush_caches to the struct cpu_spec. The cache flush operation for the specific kind of e500 is selected at init time. The callback function will flush all caches inside the current cpu.

Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not a problem unless a process is using these facilities. Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code, new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy. All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three. The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty. An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back to zero. Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested: 1. Always calling C. 2. Performing a common case check and then calling C. 3. A complex check in asm. After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option 3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.

Currently we copy the whole mm_context_t to the paca but only access a few bits of it. This is wasteful of space paca and also takes quite some time in the hot path of context switching. This patch pulls in only the required bits from the mm_context_t to the paca and on context switch, copies only those. Benchmarking this (On top of Anton's recent MSR context switching changes [1]) using processes and yield shows an improvement of almost 3% on POWER8: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch2.c ./context_switch2 --test=yield --process 0 0 1. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2015-October/135700.htmlSigned-off-by: NMichael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> [mpe: Rename paca fields to be mm_ctx_foo rather than context_foo] Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

This builds on the ability to run more than one vcore on a physical core by using the micro-threading (split-core) modes of the POWER8 chip. Previously, only vcores from the same VM could be run together, and (on POWER8) only if they had just one thread per core. With the ability to split the core on guest entry and unsplit it on guest exit, we can run up to 8 vcpu threads from up to 4 different VMs, and we can run multiple vcores with 2 or 4 vcpus per vcore. Dynamic micro-threading is only available if the static configuration of the cores is whole-core mode (unsplit), and only on POWER8. To manage this, we introduce a new kvm_split_mode struct which is shared across all of the subcores in the core, with a pointer in the paca on each thread. In addition we extend the core_info struct to have information on each subcore. When deciding whether to add a vcore to the set already on the core, we now have two possibilities: (a) piggyback the vcore onto an existing subcore, or (b) start a new subcore. Currently, when any vcpu needs to exit the guest and switch to host virtual mode, we interrupt all the threads in all subcores and switch the core back to whole-core mode. It may be possible in future to allow some of the subcores to keep executing in the guest while subcore 0 switches to the host, but that is not implemented in this patch. This adds a module parameter called dynamic_mt_modes which controls which micro-threading (split-core) modes the code will consider, as a bitmap. In other words, if it is 0, no micro-threading mode is considered; if it is 2, only 2-way micro-threading is considered; if it is 4, only 4-way, and if it is 6, both 2-way and 4-way micro-threading mode will be considered. The default is 6. With this, we now have secondary threads which are the primary thread for their subcore and therefore need to do the MMU switch. These threads will need to be started even if they have no vcpu to run, so we use the vcore pointer in the PACA rather than the vcpu pointer to trigger them. It is now possible for thread 0 to find that an exit has been requested before it gets to switch the subcore state to the guest. In that case we haven't added the guest's timebase offset to the timebase, so we need to be careful not to subtract the offset in the guest exit path. In fact we just skip the whole path that switches back to host context, since we haven't switched to the guest context.

When running a virtual core of a guest that is configured with fewer threads per core than the physical cores have, the extra physical threads are currently unused. This makes it possible to use them to run one or more other virtual cores from the same guest when certain conditions are met. This applies on POWER7, and on POWER8 to guests with one thread per virtual core. (It doesn't apply to POWER8 guests with multiple threads per vcore because they require a 1-1 virtual to physical thread mapping in order to be able to use msgsndp and the TIR.) The idea is that we maintain a list of preempted vcores for each physical cpu (i.e. each core, since the host runs single-threaded). Then, when a vcore is about to run, it checks to see if there are any vcores on the list for its physical cpu that could be piggybacked onto this vcore's execution. If so, those additional vcores are put into state VCORE_PIGGYBACK and their runnable VCPU threads are started as well as the original vcore, which is called the master vcore. After the vcores have exited the guest, the extra ones are put back onto the preempted list if any of their VCPUs are still runnable and not idle. This means that vcpu->arch.ptid is no longer necessarily the same as the physical thread that the vcpu runs on. In order to make it easier for code that wants to send an IPI to know which CPU to target, we now store that in a new field in struct vcpu_arch, called thread_cpu.

This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS interrupt controller. This includes waking secondary threads to run the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting. Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32 vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the change: rm_entry: 3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples) rm_exit: 4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples) rm_intr: 1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples) and this after the change: rm_entry: 3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples) rm_exit: 4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples) rm_intr: 1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples) for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt. The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds with this change. The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21 and a little-endian POWER8 host.

Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest. This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps of 8 bits each. The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest. That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct. This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count. Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes, this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got stuck and thus print a more informative error message.
