It is not currently possible to create the full number of possible VCPUs (KVM_MAX_VCPUS) on Power9 with KVM-HV when the guest uses fewer threads per core than its core stride (or "VSMT mode"). This is because the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets grow beyond KVM_MAX_VCPUS even though the VCPU ID is less than KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID. To address this, "pack" the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets by using knowledge of the way the VCPU IDs will be used when there are fewer guest threads per core than the core stride. The primary thread of each core will always be used first. Then, if the guest uses more than one thread per core, these secondary threads will sequentially follow the primary in each core. So, the only way an ID above KVM_MAX_VCPUS can be seen, is if the VCPUs are being spaced apart, so at least half of each core is empty, and IDs between KVM_MAX_VCPUS and (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2) can be mapped into the second half of each core (4..7, in an 8-thread core). Similarly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2 are seen, at least 3/4 of each core is being left empty, and we can map down into the second and third quarters of each core (2, 3 and 5, 6 in an 8-thread core). Lastly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 4 are seen, only the primary threads are being used and 7/8 of the core is empty, allowing use of the 1, 5, 3 and 7 thread slots. (Strides less than 8 are handled similarly.) This allows the VCORE ID or offset to be calculated quickly from the VCPU ID or XIVE server numbers, without access to the VCPU structure.

Currently guest kernel doesn't handle TAR facility unavailable and it always runs with TAR bit on. PR KVM will lazily enable TAR. TAR is not a frequent-use register and it is not included in SVCPU struct. Due to the above, the checkpointed TAR val might be a bogus TAR val. To solve this issue, we will make vcpu->arch.fscr tar bit consistent with shadow_fscr when TM is enabled. At the end of emulating treclaim., the correct TAR val need to be loaded into the register if FSCR_TAR bit is on. At the beginning of emulating trechkpt., TAR needs to be flushed so that the right tar val can be copied into tar_tm.

Currently the kernel doesn't use transaction memory. And there is an issue for privileged state in the guest that: tbegin/tsuspend/tresume/tabort TM instructions can impact MSR TM bits without trapping into the PR host. So following code will lead to a false mfmsr result: tbegin <- MSR bits update to Transaction active. beq <- failover handler branch mfmsr <- still read MSR bits from magic page with transaction inactive. It is not an issue for non-privileged guest state since its mfmsr is not patched with magic page and will always trap into the PR host. This patch will always fail tbegin attempt for privileged state in the guest, so that the above issue is prevented. It is benign since currently (guest) kernel doesn't initiate a transaction.

The mfspr/mtspr on TM SPRs(TEXASR/TFIAR/TFHAR) are non-privileged instructions and can be executed by PR KVM guest in problem state without trapping into the host. We only emulate mtspr/mfspr texasr/tfiar/tfhar in guest PR=0 state. When we are emulating mtspr tm sprs in guest PR=0 state, the emulation result needs to be visible to guest PR=1 state. That is, the actual TM SPR val should be loaded into actual registers. We already flush TM SPRs into vcpu when switching out of CPU, and load TM SPRs when switching back. This patch corrects mfspr()/mtspr() emulation for TM SPRs to make the actual source/dest be the actual TM SPRs.

The transaction memory checkpoint area save/restore behavior is triggered when VCPU qemu process is switching out/into CPU, i.e. at kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_pr() and kvmppc_core_vcpu_load_pr(). MSR TM active state is determined by TS bits: active: 10(transactional) or 01 (suspended) inactive: 00 (non-transactional) We don't "fake" TM functionality for guest. We "sync" guest virtual MSR TM active state(10 or 01) with shadow MSR. That is to say, we don't emulate a transactional guest with a TM inactive MSR. TM SPR support(TFIAR/TFAR/TEXASR) has already been supported by commit 9916d57e ("KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Expose TM registers"). Math register support (FPR/VMX/VSX) will be done at subsequent patch. Whether TM context need to be saved/restored can be determined by kvmppc_get_msr() TM active state: * TM active - save/restore TM context * TM inactive - no need to do so and only save/restore TM SPRs.

Although Linux doesn't use PURR and SPURR ((Scaled) Processor Utilization of Resources Register), other OSes depend on them. On POWER8 they count at a rate depending on whether the VCPU is idle or running, the activity of the VCPU, and the value in the RWMR (Region-Weighting Mode Register). Hardware expects the hypervisor to update the RWMR when a core is dispatched to reflect the number of online VCPUs in the vcore. This adds code to maintain a count in the vcore struct indicating how many VCPUs are online. In kvmppc_run_core we use that count to set the RWMR register on POWER8. If the core is split because of a static or dynamic micro-threading mode, we use the value for 8 threads. The RWMR value is not relevant when the host is executing because Linux does not use the PURR or SPURR register, so we don't bother saving and restoring the host value. For the sake of old userspace which does not set the KVM_REG_PPC_ONLINE register, we set online to 1 if it was 0 at the time of a KVM_RUN ioctl. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

Currently, the HV KVM guest entry/exit code adds the timebase offset from the vcore struct to the timebase on guest entry, and subtracts it on guest exit. Which is fine, except that it is possible for userspace to change the offset using the SET_ONE_REG interface while the vcore is running, as there is only one timebase offset per vcore but potentially multiple VCPUs in the vcore. If that were to happen, KVM would subtract a different offset on guest exit from that which it had added on guest entry, leading to the timebase being out of sync between cores in the host, which then leads to bad things happening such as hangs and spurious watchdog timeouts. To fix this, we add a new field 'tb_offset_applied' to the vcore struct which stores the offset that is currently applied to the timebase. This value is set from the vcore tb_offset field on guest entry, and is what is subtracted from the timebase on guest exit. Since it is zero when the timebase offset is not applied, we can simplify the logic in kvmhv_start_timing and kvmhv_accumulate_time. In addition, we had secondary threads reading the timebase while running concurrently with code on the primary thread which would eventually add or subtract the timebase offset from the timebase. This occurred while saving or restoring the DEC register value on the secondary threads. Although no specific incorrect behaviour has been observed, this is a race which should be fixed. To fix it, we move the DEC saving code to just before we call kvmhv_commence_exit, and the DEC restoring code to after the point where we have waited for the primary thread to switch the MMU context and add the timebase offset. That way we are sure that the timebase contains the guest timebase value in both cases. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 has hardware bugs relating to transactional memory and thread reconfiguration (changes to hardware SMT mode). Specifically, the core does not have enough storage to store a complete checkpoint of all the architected state for all four threads. The DD2.2 version of POWER9 includes hardware modifications designed to allow hypervisor software to implement workarounds for these problems. This patch implements those workarounds in KVM code so that KVM guests see a full, working transactional memory implementation. The problems center around the use of TM suspended state, where the CPU has a checkpointed state but execution is not transactional. The workaround is to implement a "fake suspend" state, which looks to the guest like suspended state but the CPU does not store a checkpoint. In this state, any instruction that would cause a transition to transactional state (rfid, rfebb, mtmsrd, tresume) or would use the checkpointed state (treclaim) causes a "soft patch" interrupt (vector 0x1500) to the hypervisor so that it can be emulated. The trechkpt instruction also causes a soft patch interrupt. On POWER9 DD2.2, we avoid returning to the guest in any state which would require a checkpoint to be present. The trechkpt in the guest entry path which would normally create that checkpoint is replaced by either a transition to fake suspend state, if the guest is in suspend state, or a rollback to the pre-transactional state if the guest is in transactional state. Fake suspend state is indicated by a flag in the PACA plus a new bit in the PSSCR. The new PSSCR bit is write-only and reads back as 0. On exit from the guest, if the guest is in fake suspend state, we still do the treclaim instruction as we would in real suspend state, in order to get into non-transactional state, but we do not save the resulting register state since there was no checkpoint. Emulation of the instructions that cause a softpatch interrupt is handled in two paths. If the guest is in real suspend mode, we call kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() to handle the cases where the guest is transitioning to transactional state. This is called before we do the treclaim in the guest exit path; because we haven't done treclaim, we can get back to the guest with the transaction still active. If the instruction is a case that kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() doesn't handle, or if the guest is in fake suspend state, then we proceed to do the complete guest exit path and subsequently call kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation() in host context with the MMU on. This handles all the cases including the cases that generate program interrupts (illegal instruction or TM Bad Thing) and facility unavailable interrupts. The emulation is reasonably straightforward and is mostly concerned with checking for exception conditions and updating the state of registers such as MSR and CR0. The treclaim emulation takes care to ensure that the TEXASR register gets updated as if it were the guest treclaim instruction that had done failure recording, not the treclaim done in hypervisor state in the guest exit path. With this, the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM capability returns true (1) even if transactional memory is not available to host userspace.

Currently, the HPT code in HV KVM maintains a dirty bit per guest page in the rmap array, whether or not dirty page tracking has been enabled for the memory slot. In contrast, the radix code maintains a dirty bit per guest page in memslot->dirty_bitmap, and only does so when dirty page tracking has been enabled. This changes the HPT code to maintain the dirty bits in the memslot dirty_bitmap like radix does. This results in slightly less code overall, and will mean that we do not lose the dirty bits when transitioning between HPT and radix mode in future. There is one minor change to behaviour as a result. With HPT, when dirty tracking was enabled for a memslot, we would previously clear all the dirty bits at that point (both in the HPT entries and in the rmap arrays), meaning that a KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl immediately following would show no pages as dirty (assuming no vcpus have run in the meantime). With this change, the dirty bits on HPT entries are not cleared at the point where dirty tracking is enabled, so KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG would show as dirty any guest pages that are resident in the HPT and dirty. This is consistent with what happens on radix. This also fixes a bug in the mark_pages_dirty() function for radix (in the sense that the function no longer exists). In the case where a large page of 64 normal pages or more is marked dirty, the addressing of the dirty bitmap was incorrect and could write past the end of the bitmap. Fortunately this case was never hit in practice because a 2MB large page is only 32 x 64kB pages, and we don't support backing the guest with 1GB huge pages at this point.

Since commit b009031f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Take out virtual core piggybacking code", 2016-09-15), we only have at most one vcore per subcore. Previously, the fact that there might be more than one vcore per subcore meant that we had the notion of a "master vcore", which was the vcore that controlled thread 0 of the subcore. We also needed a list per subcore in the core_info struct to record which vcores belonged to each subcore. Now that there can only be one vcore in the subcore, we can replace the list with a simple pointer and get rid of the notion of the master vcore (and in fact treat every vcore as a master vcore). We can also get rid of the subcore_vm[] field in the core_info struct since it is never read.

This adds a few last pieces of the support for radix guests: * Implement the backends for the KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU and KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctls for radix guests * On POWER9, allow secondary threads to be on/off-lined while guests are running. * Set up LPCR and the partition table entry for radix guests. * Don't allocate the rmap array in the kvm_memory_slot structure on radix. * Don't try to initialize the HPT for radix guests, since they don't have an HPT. * Take out the code that prevents the HV KVM module from initializing on radix hosts. At this stage, we only support radix guests if the host is running in radix mode, and only support HPT guests if the host is running in HPT mode.

This adds the code to construct the second-level ("partition-scoped" in architecturese) page tables for guests using the radix MMU. Apart from the PGD level, which is allocated when the guest is created, the rest of the tree is all constructed in response to hypervisor page faults. As well as hypervisor page faults for missing pages, we also get faults for reference/change (RC) bits needing to be set, as well as various other error conditions. For now, we only set the R or C bit in the guest page table if the same bit is set in the host PTE for the backing page. This code can take advantage of the guest being backed with either transparent or ordinary 2MB huge pages, and insert 2MB page entries into the guest page tables.

POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one per CPU thread. The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector. (CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.) For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value. With this, the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure. This also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores would share a single VTB register. PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM has no notion of CPU threads or SMT. For PR KVM we move the VTB state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

This patch introduces new halt polling functionality into the kvm_hv kernel module. When a vcore is idle it will poll for some period of time before scheduling itself out. When all of the runnable vcpus on a vcore have ceded (and thus the vcore is idle) we schedule ourselves out to allow something else to run. In the event that we need to wake up very quickly (for example an interrupt arrives), we are required to wait until we get scheduled again. Implement halt polling so that when a vcore is idle, and before scheduling ourselves, we poll for vcpus in the runnable_threads list which have pending exceptions or which leave the ceded state. If we poll successfully then we can get back into the guest very quickly without ever scheduling ourselves, otherwise we schedule ourselves out as before. There exists generic halt_polling code in virt/kvm_main.c, however on powerpc the polling conditions are different to the generic case. It would be nice if we could just implement an arch specific kvm_check_block() function, but there is still other arch specific things which need to be done for kvm_hv (for example manipulating vcore states) which means that a separate implementation is the best option. Testing of this patch with a TCP round robin test between two guests with virtio network interfaces has found a decrease in round trip time of ~15us on average. A performance gain is only seen when going out of and back into the guest often and quickly, otherwise there is no net benefit from the polling. The polling interval is adjusted such that when we are often scheduled out for long periods of time it is reduced, and when we often poll successfully it is increased. The rate at which the polling interval increases or decreases, and the maximum polling interval, can be set through module parameters. Based on the implementation in the generic kvm module by Wanpeng Li and Paolo Bonzini, and on direction from Paul Mackerras.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory, PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory. The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into 4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type. The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new _PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active. Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references against the device driver established page mapping. Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new "struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page allocator. This patch (of 18): The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

This fixes a bug in the tracking of pages that get modified by the guest. If the guest creates a large-page HPTE, writes to memory somewhere within the large page, and then removes the HPTE, we only record the modified state for the first normal page within the large page, when in fact the guest might have modified some other normal page within the large page. To fix this we use some unused bits in the rmap entry to record the order (log base 2) of the size of the page that was modified, when removing an HPTE. Then in kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages() we use that order to return the correct number of modified pages. The same thing could in principle happen when removing a HPTE at the host's request, i.e. when paging out a page, except that we never page out large pages, and the guest can only create large-page HPTEs if the guest RAM is backed by large pages. However, we also fix this case for the sake of future-proofing. The reference bit is also subject to the same loss of information. We don't make the same fix here for the reference bit because there isn't an interface for userspace to find out which pages the guest has referenced, whereas there is one for userspace to find out which pages the guest has modified. Because of this loss of information, the kvm_age_hva_hv() and kvm_test_age_hva_hv() functions might incorrectly say that a page has not been referenced when it has, but that doesn't matter greatly because we never page or swap out large pages.

On POWER, storage caching is usually configured via the MMU - attributes such as cache-inhibited are stored in the TLB and the hashed page table. This makes correctly performing cache inhibited IO accesses awkward when the MMU is turned off (real mode). Some CPU models provide special registers to control the cache attributes of real mode load and stores but this is not at all consistent. This is a problem in particular for SLOF, the firmware used on KVM guests, which runs entirely in real mode, but which needs to do IO to load the kernel. To simplify this qemu implements two special hypercalls, H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD and H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE which simulate a cache-inhibited load or store to a logical address (aka guest physical address). SLOF uses these for IO. However, because these are implemented within qemu, not the host kernel, these bypass any IO devices emulated within KVM itself. The simplest way to see this problem is to attempt to boot a KVM guest from a virtio-blk device with iothread / dataplane enabled. The iothread code relies on an in kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification, which is not triggered by the IO hcalls, and so the guest will stall in SLOF unable to load the guest OS. This patch addresses this by providing in-kernel implementations of the 2 hypercalls, which correctly scan the KVM IO bus. Any access to an address not handled by the KVM IO bus will cause a VM exit, hitting the qemu implementation as before. Note that a userspace change is also required, in order to enable these new hcall implementations with KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work on PPC970 processors. The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't support virtualizing guest memory. Removing PPC970 support also lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode. Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors. The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.

We handle FSCR feature bits (well, TAR only really today) lazily when the guest starts using them. So when a guest activates the bit and later uses that feature we enable it for real in hardware. However, when the guest stops using that bit we don't stop setting it in hardware. That means we can potentially lose a trap that the guest expects to happen because it thinks a feature is not active. This patch adds support to drop TAR when then guest turns it off in FSCR. While at it it also restricts FSCR access to 64bit systems - 32bit ones don't have it. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries. This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail. Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the guest in case of failure. Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures. Signed-off-by: NMihai Caraman <mihai.caraman@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

The magic page is defined as a 4k page of per-vCPU data that is shared between the guest and the host to accelerate accesses to privileged registers. However, when the host is using 64k page size granularity we weren't quite as strict about that rule anymore. Instead, we partially treated all of the upper 64k as magic page and mapped only the uppermost 4k with the actual magic contents. This works well enough for Linux which doesn't use any memory in kernel space in the upper 64k, but Mac OS X got upset. So this patch makes magic page actually stay in a 4k range even on 64k page size hosts. This patch fixes magic page usage with Mac OS X (using MOL) on 64k PAGE_SIZE hosts for me.

Today we handle split real mode by mapping both instruction and data faults into a special virtual address space that only exists during the split mode phase. This is good enough to catch 32bit Linux guests that use split real mode for copy_from/to_user. In this case we're always prefixed with 0xc0000000 for our instruction pointer and can map the user space process freely below there. However, that approach fails when we're running KVM inside of KVM. Here the 1st level last_inst reader may well be in the same virtual page as a 2nd level interrupt handler. It also fails when running Mac OS X guests. Here we have a 4G/4G split, so a kernel copy_from/to_user implementation can easily overlap with user space addresses. The architecturally correct way to fix this would be to implement an instruction interpreter in KVM that kicks in whenever we go into split real mode. This interpreter however would not receive a great amount of testing and be a lot of bloat for a reasonably isolated corner case. So I went back to the drawing board and tried to come up with a way to make split real mode work with a single flat address space. And then I realized that we could get away with the same trick that makes it work for Linux: Whenever we see an instruction address during split real mode that may collide, we just move it higher up the virtual address space to a place that hopefully does not collide (keep your fingers crossed!). That approach does work surprisingly well. I am able to successfully run Mac OS X guests with KVM and QEMU (no split real mode hacks like MOL) when I apply a tiny timing probe hack to QEMU. I'd say this is a win over even more broken split real mode :). Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

When running on an LE host all data structures are kept in little endian byte order. However, the HTAB still needs to be maintained in big endian. So every time we access any HTAB we need to make sure we do so in the right byte order. Fix up all accesses to manually byte swap. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This adds code to check that when the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability is used to enable or disable in-kernel handling of an hcall, that the hcall is actually implemented by the kernel. If not an EINVAL error is returned. This also checks the default-enabled list of hcalls and prints a warning if any hcall there is not actually implemented.

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.
