      KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Fix VSX handling · 28c483b6
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This fixes various issues in how we were handling the VSX registers
      that exist on POWER7 machines.  First, we were running off the end
      of the current->thread.fpr[] array.  Ultimately this was because the
      vcpu->arch.vsr[] array is sized to be able to store both the FP
      registers and the extra VSX registers (i.e. 64 entries), but PR KVM
      only uses it for the extra VSX registers (i.e. 32 entries).
      
      Secondly, calling load_up_vsx() from C code is a really bad idea,
      because it jumps to fast_exception_return at the end, rather than
      returning with a blr instruction.  This was causing it to jump off
      to a random location with random register contents, since it was using
      the largely uninitialized stack frame created by kvmppc_load_up_vsx.
      
      In fact, it isn't necessary to call either __giveup_vsx or load_up_vsx,
      since giveup_fpu and load_up_fpu handle the extra VSX registers as well
      as the standard FP registers on machines with VSX.  Also, since VSX
      instructions can access the VMX registers and the FP registers as well
      as the extra VSX registers, we have to load up the FP and VMX registers
      before we can turn on the MSR_VSX bit for the guest.  Conversely, if
      we save away any of the VSX or FP registers, we have to turn off MSR_VSX
      for the guest.
      
      To handle all this, it is more convenient for a single call to
      kvmppc_giveup_ext() to handle all the state saving that needs to be done,
      so we make it take a set of MSR bits rather than just one, and the switch
      statement becomes a series of if statements.  Similarly kvmppc_handle_ext
      needs to be able to load up more than one set of registers.

      KVM: PPC: booke: category E.HV (GS-mode) support · d30f6e48
      Scott Wood 提交于
      Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06
      provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for
      guest state.  The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping
      into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace.
      
      Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from
      guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly
      to book3s.
      
      Current issues include:
       - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler.
       - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction
         in a page that lacks read permission.  Existing e500/4xx support has
         the same problem.

      KVM: PPC: Implement MMU notifiers for Book3S HV guests · 342d3db7
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds the infrastructure to enable us to page out pages underneath
      a Book3S HV guest, on processors that support virtualized partition
      memory, that is, POWER7.  Instead of pinning all the guest's pages,
      we now look in the host userspace Linux page tables to find the
      mapping for a given guest page.  Then, if the userspace Linux PTE
      gets invalidated, kvm_unmap_hva() gets called for that address, and
      we replace all the guest HPTEs that refer to that page with absent
      HPTEs, i.e. ones with the valid bit clear and the HPTE_V_ABSENT bit
      set, which will cause an HDSI when the guest tries to access them.
      Finally, the page fault handler is extended to reinstantiate the
      guest HPTE when the guest tries to access a page which has been paged
      out.
      
      Since we can't intercept the guest DSI and ISI interrupts on PPC970,
      we still have to pin all the guest pages on PPC970.  We have a new flag,
      kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers, that indicates whether we can page
      guest pages out.  If it is not set, the MMU notifier callbacks do
      nothing and everything operates as before.

      KVM: PPC: Implement MMIO emulation support for Book3S HV guests · 697d3899
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This provides the low-level support for MMIO emulation in Book3S HV
      guests.  When the guest tries to map a page which is not covered by
      any memslot, that page is taken to be an MMIO emulation page.  Instead
      of inserting a valid HPTE, we insert an HPTE that has the valid bit
      clear but another hypervisor software-use bit set, which we call
      HPTE_V_ABSENT, to indicate that this is an absent page.  An
      absent page is treated much like a valid page as far as guest hcalls
      (H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ etc.) are concerned, except of course that
      an absent HPTE doesn't need to be invalidated with tlbie since it
      was never valid as far as the hardware is concerned.
      
      When the guest accesses a page for which there is an absent HPTE, it
      will take a hypervisor data storage interrupt (HDSI) since we now set
      the VPM1 bit in the LPCR.  Our HDSI handler for HPTE-not-present faults
      looks up the hash table and if it finds an absent HPTE mapping the
      requested virtual address, will switch to kernel mode and handle the
      fault in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault(), which at present just calls
      kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio() to set up the MMIO emulation.
      
      This is based on an earlier patch by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, but since
      heavily reworked.

      huge pages are being used, and use the low-order 5 bits of each

      powerpc, KVM: Split HVMODE_206 cpu feature bit into separate HV and architecture bits · 969391c5
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to
      indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate
      that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06.  We also add
      another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01
      and set that for PPC970 and derivatives.
      
      Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a
      hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode
      is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in
      supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0).  On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1
      bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that
      hypervisor mode is not useful.
      
      Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that
      only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like
      
      END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206)
      
      The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will
      be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the
      provided mask are set.
      
      Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the
      ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called
      if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

      KVM: PPC: Allocate RMAs (Real Mode Areas) at boot for use by guests · aa04b4cc
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to
      run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support
      the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode
      Offset (RMO) facility.  These processors require a physically
      contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest.  When the guest does
      an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a
      limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset
      value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes
      the real address for the access.  The size of the RMA has to be one of
      a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
      and some larger powers of 2.
      
      Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically
      contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we
      allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator.  The
      size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and
      kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options.
      
      KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability
      of the pool of preallocated RMAs.  The capability value is 1 if the
      processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports
      the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest.
      
      This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the
      pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA.  It
      also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure.
      
      Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
      ioctl calls from userspace.  To cope with this, we now preallocate the
      kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient
      for up to 64GB of guest memory.  Subsequently we will get rid of this
      array and use memory associated with each memslot instead.
      
      This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into
      host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level
      to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region.  Also, instead of having to look
      up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check
      that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB.  However, if we are
      adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling
      get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the
      RMA.
      
      Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it
      inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value
      in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor
      uses RMA or VRMA for the guest.  This moves the LPCR value into the
      kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request)
      bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in
      assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external
      interrupt request.

      KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode · de56a948
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      powerpc: Save Come-From Address Register (CFAR) in exception frame · 48404f2e
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Recent 64-bit server processors (POWER6 and POWER7) have a "Come-From
      Address Register" (CFAR), that records the address of the most recent
      branch or rfid (return from interrupt) instruction for debugging purposes.
      
      This saves the value of the CFAR in the exception entry code and stores
      it in the exception frame.  We also make xmon print the CFAR value in
      its register dump code.
      
      Rather than extend the pt_regs struct at this time, we steal the orig_gpr3
      field, which is only used for system calls, and use it for the CFAR value
      for all exceptions/interrupts other than system calls.  This means we
      don't save the CFAR on system calls, which is not a great problem since
      system calls tend not to happen unexpectedly, and also avoids adding the
      overhead of reading the CFAR to the system call entry path.
