    KVM: PPC: Handle some PAPR hcalls in the kernel · a8606e20
    Paul Mackerras 提交于
    This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel,
    either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode,
    or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full
    kernel context.  The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if
    possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will
    become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition
    switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of
    the guest.  The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel
    linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU
    is off.
    
    This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode:
    
    H_ENTER       Add an HPTE to the hashed page table
    H_REMOVE      Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table
    H_READ        Read HPTEs from the hashed page table
    H_PROTECT     Change the protection bits in an HPTE
    H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table
    H_SET_DABR    Set the data address breakpoint register
    
    Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel:
    
    H_CEDE        Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives
    H_PROD        Wake up a ceded vcpu
    H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA)
    
    The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in
    the module, if KVM is compiled as a module.  The real-mode code can
    only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space.
