      KVM: PPC: book3s_pr: Simplify transitions between virtual and real mode · 02143947
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Add sanity checking to vcpu_run · af8f38b3
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      There are multiple features in PowerPC KVM that can now be enabled
      depending on the user's wishes. Some of the combinations don't make
      sense or don't work though.
      
      So this patch adds a way to check if the executing environment would
      actually be able to run the guest properly. It also adds sanity
      checks if PVR is set (should always be true given the current code
      flow), if PAPR is only used with book3s_64 where it works and that
      HV KVM is only used in PAPR mode.

      KVM: PPC: book3s_hv: Add support for PPC970-family processors · 9e368f29
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Allocate RMAs (Real Mode Areas) at boot for use by guests · aa04b4cc
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to
      run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support
      the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode
      Offset (RMO) facility.  These processors require a physically
      contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest.  When the guest does
      an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a
      limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset
      value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes
      the real address for the access.  The size of the RMA has to be one of
      a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
      and some larger powers of 2.
      
      Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically
      contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we
      allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator.  The
      size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and
      kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options.
      
      KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability
      of the pool of preallocated RMAs.  The capability value is 1 if the
      processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports
      the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest.
      
      This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the
      pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA.  It
      also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure.
      
      Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
      ioctl calls from userspace.  To cope with this, we now preallocate the
      kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient
      for up to 64GB of guest memory.  Subsequently we will get rid of this
      array and use memory associated with each memslot instead.
      
      This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into
      host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level
      to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region.  Also, instead of having to look
      up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check
      that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB.  However, if we are
      adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling
      get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the
      RMA.
      
      Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it
      inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value
      in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor
      uses RMA or VRMA for the guest.  This moves the LPCR value into the
      kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request)
      bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in
      assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external
      interrupt request.

      KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use SMT processor modes · 371fefd6
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Accelerate H_PUT_TCE by implementing it in real mode · 54738c09
      David Gibson 提交于
      This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR
      paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by
      implementing it in real mode.  H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual
      IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the
      PAPR interface.
      
      Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new
      KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables.  The
      ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly
      created table.  The qemu driver models use them in the same way as
      userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the
      guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number
      of host/guest context switches during guest IO.
      
      There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu
      to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used
      most of the time.  Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness
      when we need to reset the table.  More importantly, we will in the
      future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a
      checkpoint resume or migration.

      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.

      KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode · de56a948
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: e500: Add shadow PID support · dd9ebf1f
      Liu Yu 提交于
      Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into
      multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS].  Use
      both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be
      selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest
      PID.
      
      This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to
      invalidate the entire TLB.  When the guest mode or PID changes, we just
      update the host PID0/PID1.  And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is
      global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict.
      
      Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to
      a value other than zero.  This will need to be fixed for nested KVM
      to work.  Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2
      to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them
      to something else.

      KVM: PPC: Fix issue clearing exit timing counters · 09000adb

      Following dump is observed on host when clearing the exit timing counters

      INFO: task echo:1276 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

              The vcpu->mutex is used by kvm_ioctl_* (KVM_RUN etc) and same was
      used when clearing the stats (in kvmppc_init_timing_stats()). What happens
      is that when the guest is idle then it held the vcpu->mutx. While the
      exiting timing process waits for guest to release the vcpu->mutex and
      a hang state is reached.
      
              Now using seprate lock for exit timing stats.

      KVM: PPC: Add book3s_32 tlbie flush acceleration · 2d27fc5e
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      On Book3s_32 the tlbie instruction flushed effective addresses by the mask
      0x0ffff000. This is pretty hard to reflect with a hash that hashes ~0xfff, so
      to speed up that target we should also keep a special hash around for it.

      KVM: PPC: RCU'ify the Book3s MMU · 2e0908af
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      So far we've been running all code without locking of any sort. This wasn't
      really an issue because I didn't see any parallel access to the shadow MMU
      code coming.
      
      But then I started to implement dirty bitmapping to MOL which has the video
      code in its own thread, so suddenly we had the dirty bitmap code run in
      parallel to the shadow mmu code. And with that came trouble.
      
      So I went ahead and made the MMU modifying functions as parallelizable as
      I could think of. I hope I didn't screw up too much RCU logic :-). If you
      know your way around RCU and locking and what needs to be done when, please
      take a look at this patch.

      KVM: PPC: First magic page steps · beb03f14
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      We will be introducing a method to project the shared page in guest context.
      As soon as we're talking about this coupling, the shared page is colled magic
      page.
      
      This patch introduces simple defines, so the follow-up patches are easier to
      read.

      KVM: PPC: Make PAM a define · 28e83b4f
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      On PowerPC it's very normal to not support all of the physical RAM in real mode.
      To check if we're matching on the shared page or not, we need to know the limits
      so we can restrain ourselves to that range.
      
      So let's make it a define instead of open-coding it. And while at it, let's also
      increase it.

      KVM: PPC: Convert SPRG[0-4] to shared page · a73a9599
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      When in kernel mode there are 4 additional registers available that are
      simple data storage. Instead of exiting to the hypervisor to read and
      write those, we can just share them with the guest using the page.
      
      This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

      KVM: PPC: Convert SRR0 and SRR1 to shared page · de7906c3
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      The SRR0 and SRR1 registers contain cached values of the PC and MSR
      respectively. They get written to by the hypervisor when an interrupt
      occurs or directly by the kernel. They are also used to tell the rfi(d)
      instruction where to jump to.
      
      Because it only gets touched on defined events that, it's very simple to
      share with the guest. Hypervisor and guest both have full r/w access.

      KVM: PPC: Convert DAR to shared page. · 5e030186
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      The DAR register contains the address a data page fault occured at. This
      register behaves pretty much like a simple data storage register that gets
      written to on data faults. There is no hypervisor interaction required on
      read or write.

      KVM: PPC: Convert MSR to shared page · 666e7252
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
      MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
      toggle in critical sections.
      
      So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
      put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
      its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
      safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
      for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.

      KVM: PPC: Introduce shared page · 96bc451a
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      For transparent variable sharing between the hypervisor and guest, I introduce
      a shared page. This shared page will contain all the registers the guest can
      read and write safely without exiting guest context.
      
      This patch only implements the stubs required for the basic structure of the
      shared page. The actual register moving follows.
