Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
of 8 bits each.  The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

Rather than calling cond_resched() in kvmppc_run_core() before doing
the post-processing for the vcpus that we have just run (that is,
calling kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), kvmppc_set_timer(), etc.), we now do
that post-processing before calling cond_resched(), and that post-
processing is moved out into its own function, post_guest_process().

The reschedule point is now in kvmppc_run_vcpu() and we define a new
vcore state, VCORE_PREEMPT, to indicate that that the vcore's runner
task is runnable but not running.  (Doing the reschedule with the
vcore in VCORE_INACTIVE state would be bad because there are potentially
other vcpus waiting for the runner in kvmppc_wait_for_exec() which
then wouldn't get woken up.)

Also, we make use of the handy cond_resched_lock() function, which
unlocks and relocks vc->lock for us around the reschedule.

Previously, if kvmppc_run_core() was running a VCPU that needed a VPA
update (i.e. one of its 3 virtual processor areas needed to be pinned
in memory so the host real mode code can update it on guest entry and
exit), we would drop the vcore lock and do the update there and then.
Future changes will make it inconvenient to drop the lock, so instead
we now remove it from the list of runnable VCPUs and wake up its
VCPU task.  This will have the effect that the VCPU task will exit
kvmppc_run_vcpu(), go around the do loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), and
re-enter kvmppc_run_vcpu(), whereupon it will do the necessary call
to kvmppc_update_vpas() and then rejoin the vcore.

The one complication is that the runner VCPU (whose VCPU task is the
current task) might be one of the ones that gets removed from the
runnable list.  In that case we just return from kvmppc_run_core()
and let the code in kvmppc_run_vcpu() wake up another VCPU task to be
the runner if necessary.

This all means that the VCORE_STARTING state is no longer used, so we
remove it.

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code.  Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:

* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
  just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
  guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
  host.  This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
  return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
  while other threads in the same vcore are active.

These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings".  This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.

The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%.  Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs
is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file
by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be
read.  The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the
process that created the guest.  The file is named "htab".  This is
intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management
of guest memory.

The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this:

  3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196

The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and
third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page
number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set.
The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the
entry, so it contains the guest physical address.  (The format of the
second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also
in arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h.)

Sometimes the KVM code on powerpc needs to emulate load or store
instructions from the guest, which can include both normal and byte
reversed forms.

We currently (AFAICT) handle this correctly, but some variable names are
very misleading.  In particular we use "is_bigendian" in several places to
actually mean "is the IO the same endian as the host", but we now support
little-endian powerpc hosts.  This also ties into the misleadingly named
ld_le*() and st_le*() functions, which in fact always byteswap, even on
an LE host.

This patch cleans this up by renaming to more accurate "host_swabbed", and
uses the generic swab*() functions instead of the powerpc specific and
misleadingly named ld_le*() and st_le*() functions.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.

This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest.  KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too.  When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.

With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest.  This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.

Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host.  The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.

The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter.  It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.

While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls.  During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark.  The wasted time is thus very low.  Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.

The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer.  Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns.  For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

Currently the H_CONFER hcall is implemented in kernel virtual mode,
meaning that whenever a guest thread does an H_CONFER, all the threads
in that virtual core have to exit the guest.  This is bad for
performance because it interrupts the other threads even if they
are doing useful work.

The H_CONFER hcall is called by a guest VCPU when it is spinning on a
spinlock and it detects that the spinlock is held by a guest VCPU that
is currently not running on a physical CPU.  The idea is to give this
VCPU's time slice to the holder VCPU so that it can make progress
towards releasing the lock.

To avoid having the other threads exit the guest unnecessarily,
we add a real-mode implementation of H_CONFER that checks whether
the other threads are doing anything.  If all the other threads
are idle (i.e. in H_CEDE) or trying to confer (i.e. in H_CONFER),
it returns H_TOO_HARD which causes a guest exit and allows the
H_CONFER to be handled in virtual mode.

Otherwise it spins for a short time (up to 10 microseconds) to give
other threads the chance to observe that this thread is trying to
confer.  The spin loop also terminates when any thread exits the guest
or when all other threads are idle or trying to confer.  If the
timeout is reached, the H_CONFER returns H_SUCCESS.  In this case the
guest VCPU will recheck the spinlock word and most likely call
H_CONFER again.

This also improves the implementation of the H_CONFER virtual mode
handler.  If the VCPU is part of a virtual core (vcore) which is
runnable, there will be a 'runner' VCPU which has taken responsibility
for running the vcore.  In this case we yield to the runner VCPU
rather than the target VCPU.

We also introduce a check on the target VCPU's yield count: if it
differs from the yield count passed to H_CONFER, the target VCPU
has run since H_CONFER was called and may have already released
the lock.  This check is required by PAPR.

There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S.  If the
exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
(Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register).  If the exit was caused
by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
with an lwz instruction.

Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst.  The HEIR value has been loaded
using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
host endianness.  The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst
assumes it was loaded using host endianness.

To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value.  Then,
in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
differ.

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
to a SPR.

The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
- starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
  - 32kb for L2
  - 128kb for L2+L3
  - Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
- Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)

We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.

To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
- starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
- table size (no data, until end of table)
- prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
  32 cycles)

The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
a physical CPU.

The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
so we just generate needless memory operations.

This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
to be useful.

Benchmark 1:
 - 16 core POWER8
 - 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
 - No split core/SMT
 - two guests running sysbench memory test.
   sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
 - one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
   ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/

This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.

In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.

benchmark 2:
 - Same VM config as benchmark 1
 - all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark

This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
many times for cachelines to be pulled in)

The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.

benchmark 3:
 - same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
 - two idle guests
 - 1 guest running STREAM benchmark

This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).

benchmark 4:
 - same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
 - two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
   workload
 - one guest running STREAM benchmark.

Similar improvements to benchmark 3.

benchmark 5:
 - 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04
 - Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4)
 - STREAM benchmark

In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board
of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

The 440 target hasn't been properly functioning for a few releases and
before I was the only one who fixes a very serious bug that indicates to
me that nobody used it before either.

Furthermore KVM on 440 is slow to the extent of unusable.

We don't have to carry along completely unused code. Remove 440 and give
us one less thing to worry about.

When building KVM with a lot of vcores (NR_CPUS is big), we can potentially
get out of the ld immediate range for dereferences inside that struct.

Move the array to the end of our kvm_arch struct. This fixes compilation
issues with NR_CPUS=2048 for me.

For FSL e6500 core the kernel uses power management SPR register (PWRMGTCR0)
to enable idle power down for cores and devices by setting up the idle count
period at boot time. With the host already controlling the power management
configuration the guest could simply benefit from it, so emulate guest request
as a general store.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel.  Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS.  The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.

Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable.  Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.

The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit.  The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.

When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling.  The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point.  Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.

No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.

We use time base for PURR and SPURR emulation with PR KVM since we
are emulating a single threaded core. When using time base
we need to make sure that we don't accumulate time spent in the host
in PURR and SPURR value.

Also we don't need to emulate mtspr because both the registers are
hypervisor resource.

Old guests try to use the magic page, but map their trampoline code inside
of an NX region.

Since we can't fix those old kernels, try to detect whether the guest is sane
or not. If not, just disable NX functionality in KVM so that old guests at
least work at all. For newer guests, add a bit that we can set to keep NX
functionality available.

POWER8 implements a new register called TAR. This register has to be
enabled in FSCR and then from KVM's point of view is mere storage.

This patch enables the guest to use TAR.

POWER8 introduced a new interrupt type called "Facility unavailable interrupt"
which contains its status message in a new register called FSCR.

Handle these exits and try to emulate instructions for unhandled facilities.
Follow-on patches enable KVM to expose specific facilities into the guest.

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.

When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
native endian load/store operations.

Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.

For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.

For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
functions that evaluate this variable.

Add new state for transactional memory (TM) to kvm_vcpu_arch.  Also add
asm-offset bits that are going to be required.

This also moves the existing TFHAR, TFIAR and TEXASR SPRs into a
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM section.  This requires some code changes to
ensure we still compile with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=N.  Much of the added
the added #ifdefs are removed in a later patch when the bulk of the TM code is
added.

We create a guest MSR from scratch when delivering exceptions in
a few places.  Instead of extracting LPCR[ILE] and inserting it
into MSR_LE each time, we simply create a new variable intr_msr which
contains the entire MSR to use.  For a little-endian guest, userspace
needs to set the ILE (interrupt little-endian) bit in the LPCR for
each vcpu (or at least one vcpu in each virtual core).

[paulus@samba.org - removed H_SET_MODE implementation from original
version of the patch, and made kvmppc_set_lpcr update vcpu->arch.intr_msr.]
