This enables us to use the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) on POWER7 to put the processor into architecture 2.05 compatibility mode when running a guest. In this mode the new instructions and registers that were introduced on POWER7 are disabled in user mode. This includes all the VSX facilities plus several other instructions such as ldbrx, stdbrx, popcntw, popcntd, etc. To select this mode, we have a new register accessible through the set/get_one_reg interface, called KVM_REG_PPC_ARCH_COMPAT. Setting this to zero gives the full set of capabilities of the processor. Setting it to one of the "logical" PVR values defined in PAPR puts the vcpu into the compatibility mode for the corresponding architecture level. The supported values are: 0x0f000002 Architecture 2.05 (POWER6) 0x0f000003 Architecture 2.06 (POWER7) 0x0f100003 Architecture 2.06+ (POWER7+) Since the PCR is per-core, the architecture compatibility level and the corresponding PCR value are stored in the struct kvmppc_vcore, and are therefore shared between all vcpus in a virtual core.

POWER7 and later IBM server processors have a register called the Program Priority Register (PPR), which controls the priority of each hardware CPU SMT thread, and affects how fast it runs compared to other SMT threads. This priority can be controlled by writing to the PPR or by use of a set of instructions of the form or rN,rN,rN which are otherwise no-ops but have been defined to set the priority to particular levels. This adds code to context switch the PPR when entering and exiting guests and to make the PPR value accessible through the SET/GET_ONE_REG interface. When entering the guest, we set the PPR as late as possible, because if we are setting a low thread priority it will make the code run slowly from that point on. Similarly, the first-level interrupt handlers save the PPR value in the PACA very early on, and set the thread priority to the medium level, so that the interrupt handling code runs at a reasonable speed.

This adds the ability to have a separate LPCR (Logical Partitioning Control Register) value relating to a guest for each virtual core, rather than only having a single value for the whole VM. This corresponds to what real POWER hardware does, where there is a LPCR per CPU thread but most of the fields are required to have the same value on all active threads in a core. The per-virtual-core LPCR can be read and written using the GET/SET_ONE_REG interface. Userspace can can only modify the following fields of the LPCR value: DPFD Default prefetch depth ILE Interrupt little-endian TC Translation control (secondary HPT hash group search disable) We still maintain a per-VM default LPCR value in kvm->arch.lpcr, which contains bits relating to memory management, i.e. the Virtualized Partition Memory (VPM) bits and the bits relating to guest real mode. When this default value is updated, the update needs to be propagated to the per-vcore values, so we add a kvmppc_update_lpcr() helper to do that.

This allows guests to have a different timebase origin from the host. This is needed for migration, where a guest can migrate from one host to another and the two hosts might have a different timebase origin. However, the timebase seen by the guest must not go backwards, and should go forwards only by a small amount corresponding to the time taken for the migration. Therefore this provides a new per-vcpu value accessed via the one_reg interface using the new KVM_REG_PPC_TB_OFFSET identifier. This value defaults to 0 and is not modified by KVM. On entering the guest, this value is added onto the timebase, and on exiting the guest, it is subtracted from the timebase. This is only supported for recent POWER hardware which has the TBU40 (timebase upper 40 bits) register. Writing to the TBU40 register only alters the upper 40 bits of the timebase, leaving the lower 24 bits unchanged. This provides a way to modify the timebase for guest migration without disturbing the synchronization of the timebase registers across CPU cores. The kernel rounds up the value given to a multiple of 2^24. Timebase values stored in KVM structures (struct kvm_vcpu, struct kvmppc_vcore, etc.) are stored as host timebase values. The timebase values in the dispatch trace log need to be guest timebase values, however, since that is read directly by the guest. This moves the setting of vcpu->arch.dec_expires on guest exit to a point after we have restored the host timebase so that vcpu->arch.dec_expires is a host timebase value.

Currently we are not saving and restoring the SIAR and SDAR registers in the PMU (performance monitor unit) on guest entry and exit. The result is that performance monitoring tools in the guest could get false information about where a program was executing and what data it was accessing at the time of a performance monitor interrupt. This fixes it by saving and restoring these registers along with the other PMU registers on guest entry/exit. This also provides a way for userspace to access these values for a vcpu via the one_reg interface. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

KVM uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part of some of its ioctls. But those ioctls are lacking a flag argument allowing userspace to choose options for the newly opened file descriptor. In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor is going to be inherited across exec(). This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on all file descriptors created with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code. These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in future.

This streamlines our handling of external interrupts that come in while we're in the guest. First, when waking up a hardware thread that was napping, we split off the "napping due to H_CEDE" case earlier, and use the code that handles an external interrupt (0x500) in the guest to handle that too. Secondly, the code that handles those external interrupts now checks if any other thread is exiting to the host before bouncing an external interrupt to the guest, and also checks that there is actually an external interrupt pending for the guest before setting the LPCR MER bit (mediated external request). This also makes sure that we clear the "ceded" flag when we handle a wakeup from cede in real mode, and fixes a potential infinite loop in kvmppc_run_vcpu() which can occur if we ever end up with the ceded flag set but MSR[EE] off.

Currently, we wake up a CPU by sending a host IPI with smp_send_reschedule() to thread 0 of that core, which will take all threads out of the guest, and cause them to re-evaluate their interrupt status on the way back in. This adds a mechanism to differentiate real host IPIs from IPIs sent by KVM for guest threads to poke each other, in order to target the guest threads precisely when possible and avoid that global switch of the core to host state.

This adds in-kernel emulation of the XICS (eXternal Interrupt Controller Specification) interrupt controller specified by PAPR, for both HV and PR KVM guests. The XICS emulation supports up to 1048560 interrupt sources. Interrupt source numbers below 16 are reserved; 0 is used to mean no interrupt and 2 is used for IPIs. Internally these are represented in blocks of 1024, called ICS (interrupt controller source) entities, but that is not visible to userspace. Each vcpu gets one ICP (interrupt controller presentation) entity, used to store the per-vcpu state such as vcpu priority, pending interrupt state, IPI request, etc. This does not include any API or any way to connect vcpus to their ICP state; that will be added in later patches.

For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS calls in the kernel itself. This adds an infrastructure to allow in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name. A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to associate token values with those service names. Then, when the guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being passed up to userspace as at present.

At present, the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl doesn't report modifications done by the host to the virtual processor areas (VPAs) and dispatch trace logs (DTLs) registered by the guest. This is because those modifications are done either in real mode or in the host kernel context, and in neither case does the access go through the guest's HPT, and thus no change (C) bit gets set in the guest's HPT. However, the changes done by the host do need to be tracked so that the modified pages get transferred when doing live migration. In order to track these modifications, this adds a dirty flag to the struct representing the VPA/DTL areas, and arranges to set the flag when the VPA/DTL gets modified by the host. Then, when we are collecting the dirty log, we also check the dirty flags for the VPA and DTL for each vcpu and set the relevant bit in the dirty log if necessary. Doing this also means we now need to keep track of the guest physical address of the VPA/DTL areas. So as not to lose track of modifications to a VPA/DTL area when it gets unregistered, or when a new area gets registered in its place, we need to transfer the dirty state to the rmap chain. This adds code to kvmppc_unpin_guest_page() to do that if the area was dirty. To simplify that code, we now require that all VPA, DTL and SLB shadow buffer areas fit within a single host page. Guests already comply with this requirement because pHyp requires that these areas not cross a 4k boundary.

Currently, if a machine check interrupt happens while we are in the guest, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler, which tends to cause the host to panic. Some machine checks can be triggered by the guest; for example, if the guest creates two entries in the SLB that map the same effective address, and then accesses that effective address, the CPU will take a machine check interrupt. To handle this better, when a machine check happens inside the guest, we call a new function, kvmppc_realmode_machine_check(), while still in real mode before exiting the guest. On POWER7, it handles the cases that the guest can trigger, either by flushing and reloading the SLB, or by flushing the TLB, and then it delivers the machine check interrupt directly to the guest without going back to the host. On POWER7, the OPAL firmware patches the machine check interrupt vector so that it gets control first, and it leaves behind its analysis of the situation in a structure pointed to by the opal_mc_evt field of the paca. The kvmppc_realmode_machine_check() function looks at this, and if OPAL reports that there was no error, or that it has handled the error, we also go straight back to the guest with a machine check. We have to deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1. If the machine check is one we can't handle in real mode, and one that OPAL hasn't already handled, or on PPC970, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler. We do this by jumping to the machine_check_fwnmi label, rather than absolute address 0x200, because we don't want to re-execute OPAL's handler on POWER7. On PPC970, the two are equivalent because address 0x200 just contains a branch. Then, if the host machine check handler decides that the system can continue executing, kvmppc_handle_exit() delivers a machine check interrupt to the guest -- once again to let the guest know that SRR0/1 have been modified.

When we change or remove a HPT (hashed page table) entry, we can do either a global TLB invalidation (tlbie) that works across the whole machine, or a local invalidation (tlbiel) that only affects this core. Currently we do local invalidations if the VM has only one vcpu or if the guest requests it with the H_LOCAL flag, though the guest Linux kernel currently doesn't ever use H_LOCAL. Then, to cope with the possibility that vcpus moving around to different physical cores might expose stale TLB entries, there is some code in kvmppc_hv_entry to flush the whole TLB of entries for this VM if either this vcpu is now running on a different physical core from where it last ran, or if this physical core last ran a different vcpu. There are a number of problems on POWER7 with this as it stands: - The TLB invalidation is done per thread, whereas it only needs to be done per core, since the TLB is shared between the threads. - With the possibility of the host paging out guest pages, the use of H_LOCAL by an SMP guest is dangerous since the guest could possibly retain and use a stale TLB entry pointing to a page that had been removed from the guest. - The TLB invalidations that we do when a vcpu moves from one physical core to another are unnecessary in the case of an SMP guest that isn't using H_LOCAL. - The optimization of using local invalidations rather than global should apply to guests with one virtual core, not just one vcpu. (None of this applies on PPC970, since there we always have to invalidate the whole TLB when entering and leaving the guest, and we can't support paging out guest memory.) To fix these problems and simplify the code, we now maintain a simple cpumask of which cpus need to flush the TLB on entry to the guest. (This is indexed by cpu, though we only ever use the bits for thread 0 of each core.) Whenever we do a local TLB invalidation, we set the bits for every cpu except the bit for thread 0 of the core that we're currently running on. Whenever we enter a guest, we test and clear the bit for our core, and flush the TLB if it was set. On initial startup of the VM, and when resetting the HPT, we set all the bits in the need_tlb_flush cpumask, since any core could potentially have stale TLB entries from the previous VM to use the same LPID, or the previous contents of the HPT. Then, we maintain a count of the number of online virtual cores, and use that when deciding whether to use a local invalidation rather than the number of online vcpus. The code to make that decision is extracted out into a new function, global_invalidates(). For multi-core guests on POWER7 (i.e. when we are using mmu notifiers), we now never do local invalidations regardless of the H_LOCAL flag.

A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in the first doubleword). This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read. A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last read finished will return 0 bytes. The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16 bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly represented.

Currently the code that accounts stolen time tends to overestimate the stolen time, and will sometimes report more stolen time in a DTL (dispatch trace log) entry than has elapsed since the last DTL entry. This can cause guests to underflow the user or system time measured for some tasks, leading to ridiculous CPU percentages and total runtimes being reported by top and other utilities. In addition, the current code was designed for the previous policy where a vcore would only run when all the vcpus in it were runnable, and so only counted stolen time on a per-vcore basis. Now that a vcore can run while some of the vcpus in it are doing other things in the kernel (e.g. handling a page fault), we need to count the time when a vcpu task is preempted while it is not running as part of a vcore as stolen also. To do this, we bring back the BUSY_IN_HOST vcpu state and extend the vcpu_load/put functions to count preemption time while the vcpu is in that state. Handling the transitions between the RUNNING and BUSY_IN_HOST states requires checking and updating two variables (accumulated time stolen and time last preempted), so we add a new spinlock, vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock. This protects both the per-vcpu stolen/preempt-time variables, and the per-vcore variables while this vcpu is running the vcore. Finally, we now don't count time spent in userspace as stolen time. The task could be executing in userspace on behalf of the vcpu, or it could be preempted, or the vcpu could be genuinely stopped. Since we have no way of dividing up the time between these cases, we don't count any of it as stolen. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Currently the Book3S HV code implements a policy on multi-threaded processors (i.e. POWER7) that requires all of the active vcpus in a virtual core to be ready to run before we run the virtual core. However, that causes problems on reset, because reset stops all vcpus except vcpu 0, and can also reduce throughput since all four threads in a virtual core have to wait whenever any one of them hits a hypervisor page fault. This relaxes the policy, allowing the virtual core to run as soon as any vcpu in it is runnable. With this, the KVMPPC_VCPU_STOPPED state and the KVMPPC_VCPU_BUSY_IN_HOST state have been combined into a single KVMPPC_VCPU_NOTREADY state, since we no longer need to distinguish between them.

If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without first pulling them all out of the guest. Currently this only happens rarely, when a vcpu is first started. This fixes some bugs and omissions in the code in this case. First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make a DTL entry for it. Secondly, if it comes along while the master vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core. To handle this correctly we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING. Thirdly, there is a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req before waiting to see it get to nap. A latecomer thread could have its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap timeouts.

There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding the vcore spinlock. This extends the places where we hold the vcore spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list. Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault, this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock. In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the caller has already done that. The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that. The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or EXITING.

Subsequent patches implementing in-kernel XICS emulation will make it possible for IPIs to arrive at secondary threads at arbitrary times. This fixes some races in how we start the secondary threads, which if not fixed could lead to occasional crashes of the host kernel. This makes sure that (a) we have grabbed all the secondary threads, and verified that they are no longer in the kernel, before we start any thread, (b) that the secondary thread loads its vcpu pointer after clearing the IPI that woke it up (so we don't miss a wakeup), and (c) that the secondary thread clears its vcpu pointer before incrementing the nap count. It also removes unnecessary setting of the vcpu and vcore pointers in the paca in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load.

When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one active hardware thread. This is because of the hardware restriction in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core must be in the same logical partition. Complying with this restriction is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one hardware thread is active. This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists. The KVM code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA, currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects: | effect | alternative flags -+------------------------+--------------------------------------------- 1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO 2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP 3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP 4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only reduces total_vm showed in proc. Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP. remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP. remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

The PAPR paravirtualization interface lets guests register three different types of per-vCPU buffer areas in its memory for communication with the hypervisor. These are called virtual processor areas (VPAs). Currently the hypercalls to register and unregister VPAs are handled by KVM in the kernel, and userspace has no way to know about or save and restore these registrations across a migration. This adds "register" codes for these three areas that userspace can use with the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG ioctls to see what addresses have been registered, and to register or unregister them. This will be needed for guest hibernation and migration, and is also needed so that userspace can unregister them on reset (otherwise we corrupt guest memory after reboot by writing to the VPAs registered by the previous kernel). The "register" for the VPA is a 64-bit value containing the address, since the length of the VPA is fixed. The "registers" for the SLB shadow buffer and dispatch trace log (DTL) are 128 bits long, consisting of the guest physical address in the high (first) 64 bits and the length in the low 64 bits. This also fixes a bug where we were calling init_vpa unconditionally, leading to an oops when unregistering the VPA.

This enables userspace to get and set all the guest floating-point state using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. The floating-point state includes all of the traditional floating-point registers and the FPSCR (floating point status/control register), all the VMX/Altivec vector registers and the VSCR (vector status/control register), and on POWER7, the vector-scalar registers (note that each FP register is the high-order half of the corresponding VSR). Most of these are implemented in common Book 3S code, except for VSX on POWER7. Because HV and PR differ in how they store the FP and VSX registers on POWER7, the code for these cases is not common. On POWER7, the FP registers are the upper halves of the VSX registers vsr0 - vsr31. PR KVM stores vsr0 - vsr31 in two halves, with the upper halves in the arch.fpr[] array and the lower halves in the arch.vsr[] array, whereas HV KVM on POWER7 stores the whole VSX register in arch.vsr[].

This enables userspace to get and set various SPRs (special-purpose registers) using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. With this, userspace can get and set all the SPRs that are part of the guest state, either through the KVM_[GS]ET_REGS ioctls, the KVM_[GS]ET_SREGS ioctls, or the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. The SPRs that are added here are: - DABR: Data address breakpoint register - DSCR: Data stream control register - PURR: Processor utilization of resources register - SPURR: Scaled PURR - DAR: Data address register - DSISR: Data storage interrupt status register - AMR: Authority mask register - UAMOR: User authority mask override register - MMCR0, MMCR1, MMCRA: Performance monitor unit control registers - PMC1..PMC8: Performance monitor unit counter registers In order to reduce code duplication between PR and HV KVM code, this moves the kvm_vcpu_ioctl_[gs]et_one_reg functions into book3s.c and centralizes the copying between user and kernel space there. The registers that are handled differently between PR and HV, and those that exist only in one flavor, are handled in kvmppc_[gs]et_one_reg() functions that are specific to each flavor.

This adds an implementation of kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot for Book3S HV, and arranges for kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region to flush the dirty log when modifying an existing slot. With this, we can handle deletion and modification of memory slots. kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot calls kvmppc_core_flush_memslot, which on Book3S HV now traverses the reverse map chains to remove any HPT (hashed page table) entries referring to pages in the memslot. This gets called by generic code whenever deleting a memslot or changing the guest physical address for a memslot. We flush the dirty log in kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region for consistency with what x86 does. We only need to flush when an existing memslot is being modified, because for a new memslot the rmap array (which stores the dirty bits) is all zero, meaning that every page is considered clean already, and when deleting a memslot we obviously don't care about the dirty bits any more.

Now that we have an architecture-specific field in the kvm_memory_slot structure, we can use it to store the array of page physical addresses that we need for Book3S HV KVM on PPC970 processors. This reduces the size of struct kvm_arch for Book3S HV, and also reduces the size of struct kvm_arch_memory_slot for other PPC KVM variants since the fields in it are now only compiled in for Book3S HV. This necessitates making the kvm_arch_create_memslot and kvm_arch_free_memslot operations specific to each PPC KVM variant. That in turn means that we now don't allocate the rmap arrays on Book3S PR and Book E. Since we now unpin pages and free the slot_phys array in kvmppc_core_free_memslot, we no longer need to do it in kvmppc_core_destroy_vm, since the generic code takes care to free all the memslots when destroying a VM. We now need the new memslot to be passed in to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region, since we need to initialize its arch.slot_phys member on Book3S HV.
