    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for DABRX register on POWER7 · 8563bf52
    Paul Mackerras 提交于
    The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer
    control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt.  It
    contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user,
    kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint
    interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode
    accesses to cause interrupts.  Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow
    both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest.
    
    This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX.
    PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR
    and DABRX with one call.  This adds a real-mode implementation of
    H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR
    implementation.  To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the
    DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface.
    
    For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add
    "hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions
    property in the device tree.  If userspace does this and then migrates
    the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then
    userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified
    DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface.  In that case, the
    old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL.  That should
    still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests
    cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't
    requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set
    DABRX_BTI.
    
    The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work
    on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X.  Guests that
    know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but
    guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR.
    For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values
    on POWER8.
