POWER8/v2.07 allows exceptions to be taken with the MMU still on. A new set of exception vectors is added at 0xc000_0000_0000_4xxx. When the HW takes us here, MSR IR/DR will be set already and we no longer need a costly RFID to turn the MMU back on again. The original 0x0 based exception vectors remain for when the HW can't leave the MMU on. Examples of this are when we can't trust the current the MMU mappings, like when we are changing from guest to hypervisor (HV 0 -> 1) or when the MMU was off already. In these cases the HW will take us to the original 0x0 based exception vectors with the MMU off as before. The below macros are copies of the macros used at the 0x0 offset but modified to handle the MMU being on. In these macros we use the link register to jump to the secondary handlers rather than using RFID (RFID was also use to turn on the MMU).

On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor (HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run. This adds code to handle this denormalisation exception for POWER6 and POWER7. It also add a CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION option and sets it in pseries/ppc64_defconfig. This is useful on bare metal systems only. Based on patch from Milton Miller. Signed-off-by: NMichael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt(). This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one is left pending on exit from a KVM guest. When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the transition of HDEC from 0 to -1. Thus this adds an empty handler function for them. We don't need to have them masked when interrupts are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.

Currently on POWER7, if we are running the guest on a core and we don't need all the hardware threads, we do nothing to ensure that the unused threads aren't executing in the kernel (other than checking that they are offline). We just assume they're napping and we don't do anything to stop them trying to enter the kernel while the guest is running. This means that a stray IPI can wake up the hardware thread and it will then try to enter the kernel, but since the core is in guest context, it will execute code from the guest in hypervisor mode once it turns the MMU on, which tends to lead to crashes or hangs in the host. This fixes the problem by adding two new one-byte flags in the kvmppc_host_state structure in the PACA which are used to interlock between the primary thread and the unused secondary threads when entering the guest. With these flags, the primary thread can ensure that the unused secondaries are not already in kernel mode (i.e. handling a stray IPI) and then indicate that they should not try to enter the kernel if they do get woken for any reason. Instead they will go into KVM code, find that there is no vcpu to run, acknowledge and clear the IPI and go back to nap mode.

The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some issues that this tries to address. We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell interrupts. The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external "edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor. Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal. This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up. The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a "irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt occurred while soft-disabled. When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that field. We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the arch_local_irq_enable case). This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create fake interrupts, among others. In addition, this adds a few refinements: - We no longer hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max (on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from performance monitor interrupts. - Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve perf sample quality. - On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops) - We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

If we get a floating point, altivec or vsx unavaible interrupt in kernel, we trigger a kernel error.

We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before getting into the debugger. We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could be unexpected. This changes our code to behave more like other architectures, and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it. While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86. Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.

The perfmon interrupt is the sole user of a special variant of the interrupt prolog which differs from the one used by external and timer interrupts in that it saves the non-volatile GPRs and doesn't turn the runlatch on. The former is unnecessary and the later is arguably incorrect, so let's clean that up by using the same prolog. While at it we rename that prolog to use the _ASYNC prefix.

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.

In commit 54321242 ("Disable interrupts early in Program Check"), we switched from enabling to disabling interrupts in program_check_common. Whereas ENABLE_INTS leaves r3 untouched, if lockdep is enabled DISABLE_INTS calls into lockdep code and will clobber r3. That means we pass a bogus struct pt_regs* into program_check_exception() and all hell breaks loose. So load our regs pointer into r3 after we call DISABLE_INTS.

Program Check exceptions are the result of WARNs, BUGs, some type of breakpoints, kprobe, and other illegal instructions. We want interrupts (and thus preemption) to remain disabled while doing the initial stage of testing the reason and branching off to a debugger or kprobe, so we are still on the original CPU which makes debugging easier in various cases. This is how the code was intended, hence the local_irq_enable() right in the middle of program_check_exception(). However, the assembly exception prologue for that exception was incorrectly marked as enabling interrupts, which defeats that (and records a redundant enable with lockdep).

At present, on the powernv platform, if you off-line a CPU that was online, and then try to on-line it again, the kernel generates a warning message "OPAL Error -1 starting CPU n". Furthermore, if the CPU is a secondary thread that was used by KVM while it was off-line, the CPU fails to come online. The first problem is fixed by only calling OPAL to start the CPU the first time it is on-lined, as indicated by the cpu_start field of its PACA being zero. The second problem is fixed by restoring the cpu_start field to 1 instead of 0 when using the CPU within KVM.

This makes arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rmhandlers.S and arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S be assembled as separate compilation units rather than having them #included in arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S. We no longer have any conditional branches between the exception prologs in exceptions-64s.S and the KVM handlers, so there is no need to keep their contents close together in the vmlinux image. In their current location, they are using up part of the limited space between the first-level interrupt handlers and the firmware NMI data area at offset 0x7000, and with some kernel configurations this area will overflow (e.g. allyesconfig), leading to an "attempt to .org backwards" error when compiling exceptions-64s.S.

This adds support for running KVM guests in supervisor mode on those PPC970 processors that have a usable hypervisor mode. Unfortunately, Apple G5 machines have supervisor mode disabled (MSR[HV] is forced to 1), but the YDL PowerStation does have a usable hypervisor mode. There are several differences between the PPC970 and POWER7 in how guests are managed. These differences are accommodated using the CPU_FTR_ARCH_201 (PPC970) and CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 (POWER7) CPU feature bits. Notably, on PPC970: * The LPCR, LPID or RMOR registers don't exist, and the functions of those registers are provided by bits in HID4 and one bit in HID0. * External interrupts can be directed to the hypervisor, but unlike POWER7 they are masked by MSR[EE] in non-hypervisor modes and use SRR0/1 not HSRR0/1. * There is no virtual RMA (VRMA) mode; the guest must use an RMO (real mode offset) area. * The TLB entries are not tagged with the LPID, so it is necessary to flush the whole TLB on partition switch. Furthermore, when switching partitions we have to ensure that no other CPU is executing the tlbie or tlbsync instructions in either the old or the new partition, otherwise undefined behaviour can occur. * The PMU has 8 counters (PMC registers) rather than 6. * The DSCR, PURR, SPURR, AMR, AMOR, UAMOR registers don't exist. * The SLB has 64 entries rather than 32. * There is no mediated external interrupt facility, so if we switch to a guest that has a virtual external interrupt pending but the guest has MSR[EE] = 0, we have to arrange to have an interrupt pending for it so that we can get control back once it re-enables interrupts. We do that by sending ourselves an IPI with smp_send_reschedule after hard-disabling interrupts. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

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.

This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads per core on POWER7. The host still has to run single-threaded. This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4. To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined. This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys() for use in the low-level KVM book3s code. When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core. The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core. We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU by the other vcpus. When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu, or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu thread goes from busy in host state to blocked). It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g. because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest. We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it is ready to actually enter the guest. Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are runnable.

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.

There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running, rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu. This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit. On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able to get to them both with one pointer. On 64-bit they are separate fields in the PACA. This means that on 64-bit we don't need to copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all. That does mean that we have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block or get preempted.

Instead of branching out-of-line with the DO_KVM macro to check if we are in a KVM guest at the time of an interrupt, this moves the KVM check inline in the first-level interrupt handlers. This speeds up the non-KVM case and makes sure that none of the interrupt handlers are missing the check. Because the first-level interrupt handlers are now larger, some things had to be move out of line in exceptions-64s.S. This all necessitated some minor changes to the interrupt entry code in KVM. This also streamlines the book3s_32 KVM test. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

After looking at our system call path, Mary Brown suggested that we should put all mfspr SRR* instructions before any mtspr SRR*. To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid) testcase at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c I tested with the following changes against the pseries_defconfig: CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n CONFIG_AUDIT=n to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting and syscall auditing. POWER6: baseline: mean = 757.2 cycles sd = 2.108 modified: mean = 759.1 cycles sd = 2.020 POWER7: baseline: mean = 411.4 cycles sd = 0.138 modified: mean = 404.1 cycles sd = 0.109 So we have 1.77% improvement on POWER7 which looks significant. The POWER6 suggest a 0.25% slowdown, but the results are within 1 standard deviation and may be in the noise.

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.

When we take an interrupt or exception from kernel mode and the stack pointer is obviously not a kernel address (i.e. the top bit is 0), we switch to an emergency stack, save register values and panic. However, on 64-bit server machines, we don't actually save the values of r9 - r13 at the time of the interrupt, but rather values corrupted by the exception entry code for r12-r13, and nothing at all for r9-r11. This fixes it by passing a pointer to the register save area in the paca through to the bad_stack code in r3. The register values are saved in one of the paca register save areas (depending on which exception this is). Using the pointer in r3, the bad_stack code now retrieves the saved values of r9 - r13 and stores them in the exception frame on the emergency stack. This also stores the normal exception frame marker ("regshere") in the exception frame.

Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves them to MMU_FTR_ bits. All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result.

Wakeup comes from the system reset handler with a potential loss of the non-hypervisor CPU state. We save the non-volatile state on the stack and a pointer to it in the PACA, which the system reset handler uses to restore things Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This uses feature sections to arrange that we always use HSPRG1 as the scratch register in the interrupt entry code rather than SPRG2 when we're running in hypervisor mode on POWER7. This will ensure that we don't trash the guest's SPRG2 when we are running KVM guests. To simplify the code, we define GET_SCRATCH0() and SET_SCRATCH0() macros like the GET_PACA/SET_PACA macros.
