On entering a PR KVM guest, we invalidate the whole SLB before loading up the guest entries. We do this using an slbia instruction, which invalidates all entries except entry 0, followed by an slbie to invalidate entry 0. However, the slbie turns out to be ineffective in some circumstances (specifically when the host linear mapping uses 64k pages) because of errors in computing the parameter to the slbie. The result is that the guest kernel hangs very early in boot because it takes a DSI the first time it tries to access kernel data using a linear mapping address in real mode. Currently we construct bits 36 - 43 (big-endian numbering) of the slbie parameter by taking bits 56 - 63 of the SLB VSID doubleword. These bits for the tlbie are C (class, 1 bit), B (segment size, 2 bits) and 5 reserved bits. For the SLB VSID doubleword these are C (class, 1 bit), reserved (1 bit), LP (large page size, 2 bits), and 4 reserved bits. Thus we are not setting the B field correctly, and when LP = 01 as it is for 64k pages, we are setting a reserved bit. Rather than add more instructions to calculate the slbie parameter correctly, this takes a simpler approach, which is to set entry 0 to zeroes explicitly. Normally slbmte should not be used to invalidate an entry, since it doesn't invalidate the ERATs, but it is OK to use it to invalidate an entry if it is immediately followed by slbia, which does invalidate the ERATs. (This has been confirmed with the Power architects.) This approach takes fewer instructions and will work whatever the contents of entry 0.

While messing around with the SLBs we're running in real mode. The entry to guest space goes through rfid, which is context synchronizing, so there's no need to manually synchronize anything through isync. With this patch and a simple priviledged SPR access loop guest, I get a speed bump from 2035607 to 2181301 exits per second. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This simplifies the way that the book3s_pr makes the transition to real mode when entering the guest. We now call kvmppc_entry_trampoline (renamed from kvmppc_rmcall) in the base kernel using a normal function call instead of doing an indirect call through a pointer in the vcpu. If kvm is a module, the module loader takes care of generating a trampoline as it does for other calls to functions outside the module. kvmppc_entry_trampoline then disables interrupts and jumps to kvmppc_handler_trampoline_enter in real mode using an rfi[d]. That then uses the link register as the address to return to (potentially in module space) when the guest exits. This also simplifies the way that we call the Linux interrupt handler when we exit the guest due to an external, decrementer or performance monitor interrupt. Instead of turning on the MMU, then deciding that we need to call the Linux handler and turning the MMU back off again, we now go straight to the handler at the point where we would turn the MMU on. The handler will then return to the virtual-mode code (potentially in the module). Along the way, this moves the setting and clearing of the HID5 DCBZ32 bit into real-mode interrupts-off code, and also makes sure that we clear the MSR[RI] bit before loading values into SRR0/1. The net result is that we no longer need any code addresses to be stored in vcpu->arch. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

We just introduced generic segment switching code that only needs to call small macros to do the actual switching, but keeps most of the entry / exit code generic. So let's move the SLB switching code over to use this new mechanism. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We have a 32 bit value in the PACA to store XER in. We also do an stw when storing XER in there. But then we load it with ld, completely screwing it up on every entry. Welcome to the Big Endian world. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code. To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced with a similar problem and did the same thing: A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and then RFIs info the actual handler. Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching part.

To fetch the last instruction we were interrupted on, we enable DR in early exit code, where we are still in a very transitional phase between guest and host state. Most of the time this seemed to work, but another CPU can easily flush our TLB and HTAB which makes us go in the Linux page fault handler which totally breaks because we still use the guest's SLB entries. To work around that, let's introduce a second KVM guest mode that defines that whenever we get a trap, we don't call the Linux handler or go into the KVM exit code, but just jump over the faulting instruction. That way a potentially bad lwz doesn't trigger any faults and we can later on interpret the invalid instruction we fetched as "fetch didn't work".

We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault. After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there. That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it less racy and less complex. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

When we're loading bolted entries into the SLB again, we're checking if an entry is in use and only slbmte it when it is. Unfortunately, the check always goes to the skip label of the first entry, resulting in an endless loop when it actually gets triggered.

This is the really low level of guest entry/exit code. Book3s_64 has an SLB, which stores all ESID -> VSID mappings we're currently aware of. The segments in the guest differ from the ones on the host, so we need to switch the SLB to tell the MMU that we're in a new context. So we store a shadow of the guest's SLB in the PACA, switch to that on entry and only restore bolted entries on exit, leaving the rest to the Linux SLB fault handler. That way we get a really clean way of switching the SLB. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
