Core kernel doesn't track the page size of the VA range that we are invalidating. Hence we end up flushing TLB for the entire mm here. Later patches will improve this. We also don't flush page walk cache separetly instead use RIC=2 when flushing TLB, because we do a MMU gather flush after freeing page table. MMU_NO_CONTEXT is updated for hash.

Radix and hash MMU models support different page table sizes. Make the #defines a variable so that existing code can work with variable sizes. Slice related code is only used by hash, so use hash constants there. We will replicate some of the boundary conditions with resepct to TASK_SIZE using radix values too. Right now we do boundary condition check using hash constants. Swapper pgdir size is initialized in asm code. We select the max pgd size to keep it simple. For now we select hash pgdir. When adding radix we will switch that to radix pgdir which is 64K. BUILD_BUG_ON check which is removed is already done in hugepage_init() using MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON().

PowerISA 3.0 adds a parition table indexed by LPID. Parition table allows us to specify the MMU model that will be used for guest and host translation. This patch adds support with SLB based hash model (UPRT = 0). What is required with this model is to support the new hash page table entry format and also setup partition table such that we use hash table for address translation. We don't have segment table support yet. In order to make sure we don't load KVM module on Power9 (since we don't have kvm support yet) this patch also disables KVM on Power9.

htab_get_table_size() either retrieve the size of the hash page table (HPT) from the device tree - if the HPT size is determined by firmware - or uses a heuristic to determine a good size based on RAM size if the kernel is responsible for allocating the HPT.

We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can result in wrong results. For ex: On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT. But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear. We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0. Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent huge page check fail for a thp pte. NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit 691e95fd ("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse") Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in follow_page_mask occasionally.

We are adding support for DMA memory pre-registration to be used in conjunction with VFIO. The idea is that the userspace which is going to run a guest may want to pre-register a user space memory region so it all gets pinned once and never goes away. Having this done, a hypervisor will not have to pin/unpin pages on every DMA map/unmap request. This is going to help with multiple pinning of the same memory. Another use of it is in-kernel real mode (mmu off) acceleration of DMA requests where real time translation of guest physical to host physical addresses is non-trivial and may fail as linux ptes may be temporarily invalid. Also, having cached host physical addresses (compared to just pinning at the start and then walking the page table again on every H_PUT_TCE), we can be sure that the addresses which we put into TCE table are the ones we already pinned. This adds a list of memory regions to mm_context_t. Each region consists of a header and a list of physical addresses. This adds API to: 1. register/unregister memory regions; 2. do final cleanup (which puts all pre-registered pages); 3. do userspace to physical address translation; 4. manage usage counters; multiple registration of the same memory is allowed (once per container). This implements 2 counters per registered memory region: - @mapped: incremented on every DMA mapping; decremented on unmapping; initialized to 1 when a region is just registered; once it becomes zero, no more mappings allowe; - @used: incremented on every "register" ioctl; decremented on "unregister"; unregistration is allowed for DMA mapped regions unless it is the very last reference. For the very last reference this checks that the region is still mapped and returns -EBUSY so the userspace gets to know that memory is still pinned and unregistration needs to be retried; @used remains 1. Host physical addresses are stored in vmalloc'ed array. In order to access these in the real mode (mmu off), there is a real_vmalloc_addr() helper. In-kernel acceleration patchset will move it from KVM to MMU code.

upatepp can get called for a nohpte fault when we find from the linux page table that the translation was hashed before. In that case we are sure that there is no existing translation, hence we could avoid doing tlbie. We could possibly race with a parallel fault filling the TLB. But that should be ok because updatepp is only ever relaxing permissions. We also look at linux pte permission bits when filling hash pte permission bits. We also hold the linux pte busy bits while inserting/updating a hashpte entry, hence a paralle update of linux pte is not possible. On the other hand mprotect involves ptep_modify_prot_start which cause a hpte invalidate and not updatepp. Performance number: We use randbox_access_bench written by Anton.

We allocate one page for the last level of linux page table. With THP and large page size of 16MB, that would mean we are wasting large part of that page. To map 16MB area, we only need a PTE space of 2K with 64K page size. This patch reduce the space wastage by sharing the page allocated for the last level of linux page table with multiple pmd entries. We call these smaller chunks PTE page fragments and allocated page, PTE page. In order to support systems which doesn't have 64K HPTE support, we also add another 2K to PTE page fragment. The second half of the PTE fragments is used for storing slot and secondary bit information of an HPTE. With this we now have a 4K PTE fragment. We use a simple approach to share the PTE page. On allocation, we bump the PTE page refcount to 16 and share the PTE page with the next 16 pte alloc request. This should help in the node locality of the PTE page fragment, assuming that the immediate pte alloc request will mostly come from the same NUMA node. We don't try to reuse the freed PTE page fragment. Hence we could be waisting some space.

Currently, if a machine check interrupt happens while we are in the guest, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler, which tends to cause the host to panic. Some machine checks can be triggered by the guest; for example, if the guest creates two entries in the SLB that map the same effective address, and then accesses that effective address, the CPU will take a machine check interrupt. To handle this better, when a machine check happens inside the guest, we call a new function, kvmppc_realmode_machine_check(), while still in real mode before exiting the guest. On POWER7, it handles the cases that the guest can trigger, either by flushing and reloading the SLB, or by flushing the TLB, and then it delivers the machine check interrupt directly to the guest without going back to the host. On POWER7, the OPAL firmware patches the machine check interrupt vector so that it gets control first, and it leaves behind its analysis of the situation in a structure pointed to by the opal_mc_evt field of the paca. The kvmppc_realmode_machine_check() function looks at this, and if OPAL reports that there was no error, or that it has handled the error, we also go straight back to the guest with a machine check. We have to deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1. If the machine check is one we can't handle in real mode, and one that OPAL hasn't already handled, or on PPC970, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler. We do this by jumping to the machine_check_fwnmi label, rather than absolute address 0x200, because we don't want to re-execute OPAL's handler on POWER7. On PPC970, the two are equivalent because address 0x200 just contains a branch. Then, if the host machine check handler decides that the system can continue executing, kvmppc_handle_exit() delivers a machine check interrupt to the guest -- once again to let the guest know that SRR0/1 have been modified.

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.

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low (16-64) on current processors. The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g. Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated). This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for 64-bit BooKE.

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.

Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction. The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction. The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed when the context is destroyed.
