If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without first pulling them all out of the guest. Currently this only happens rarely, when a vcpu is first started. This fixes some bugs and omissions in the code in this case. First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make a DTL entry for it. Secondly, if it comes along while the master vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core. To handle this correctly we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING. Thirdly, there is a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req before waiting to see it get to nap. A latecomer thread could have its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap timeouts.

Now that we have an architecture-specific field in the kvm_memory_slot structure, we can use it to store the array of page physical addresses that we need for Book3S HV KVM on PPC970 processors. This reduces the size of struct kvm_arch for Book3S HV, and also reduces the size of struct kvm_arch_memory_slot for other PPC KVM variants since the fields in it are now only compiled in for Book3S HV. This necessitates making the kvm_arch_create_memslot and kvm_arch_free_memslot operations specific to each PPC KVM variant. That in turn means that we now don't allocate the rmap arrays on Book3S PR and Book E. Since we now unpin pages and free the slot_phys array in kvmppc_core_free_memslot, we no longer need to do it in kvmppc_core_destroy_vm, since the generic code takes care to free all the memslots when destroying a VM. We now need the new memslot to be passed in to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region, since we need to initialize its arch.slot_phys member on Book3S HV.

This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest. The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2 of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the actual order of the HPT which was allocated. There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in kvm->arch.vcpus_running. If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done will re-establish the VRMA if necessary. If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants. When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed (256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to 1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to 16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

When emulating updating load/store instructions (lwzu, stwu, ...) we need to write the effective address of the load/store into a register. Currently, we write the physical address in there, which is very wrong. So instead let's save off where the virtual fault was on MMIO and use that information as value to put into the register. While at it, also move the XOP variants of the above instructions to the new scheme of using the already known vaddr instead of calculating it themselves.

This adds code to measure "stolen" time per virtual core in units of timebase ticks, and to report the stolen time to the guest using the dispatch trace log (DTL). The guest can register an area of memory for the DTL for a given vcpu. The DTL is a ring buffer where KVM fills in one entry every time it enters the guest for that vcpu. Stolen time is measured as time when the virtual core is not running, either because the vcore is not runnable (e.g. some of its vcpus are executing elsewhere in the kernel or in userspace), or when the vcpu thread that is running the vcore is preempted. This includes time when all the vcpus are idle (i.e. have executed the H_CEDE hypercall), which is OK because the guest accounts stolen time while idle as idle time. Each vcpu keeps a record of how much stolen time has been reported to the guest for that vcpu so far. When we are about to enter the guest, we create a new DTL entry (if the guest vcpu has a DTL) and report the difference between total stolen time for the vcore and stolen time reported so far for the vcpu as the "enqueue to dispatch" time in the DTL entry.

The PAPR API allows three sorts of per-virtual-processor areas to be registered (VPA, SLB shadow buffer, and dispatch trace log), and furthermore, these can be registered and unregistered for another virtual CPU. Currently we just update the vcpu fields pointing to these areas at the time of registration or unregistration. If this is done on another vcpu, there is the possibility that the target vcpu is using those fields at the time and could end up using a bogus pointer and corrupting memory. This fixes the race by making the target cpu itself do the update, so we can be sure that the update happens at a time when the fields aren't being used. Each area now has a struct kvmppc_vpa which is used to manage these updates. There is also a spinlock which protects access to all of the kvmppc_vpa structs, other than to the pinned_addr fields. (We could have just taken the spinlock when using the vpa, slb_shadow or dtl fields, but that would mean taking the spinlock on every guest entry and exit.) This also changes 'struct dtl' (which was undefined) to 'struct dtl_entry', which is what the rest of the kernel uses.

Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06 provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for guest state. The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace. Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly to book3s. Current issues include: - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler. - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction in a page that lacks read permission.

This allows both the guest and the host to use the referenced (R) and changed (C) bits in the guest hashed page table. The guest has a view of R and C that is maintained in the guest_rpte field of the revmap entry for the HPTE, and the host has a view that is maintained in the rmap entry for the associated gfn. Both view are updated from the guest HPT. If a bit (R or C) is zero in either view, it will be initially set to zero in the HPTE (or HPTEs), until set to 1 by hardware. When an HPTE is removed for any reason, the R and C bits from the HPTE are ORed into both views. We have to be careful to read the R and C bits from the HPTE after invalidating it, but before unlocking it, in case of any late updates by the hardware.

This adds the infrastructure to enable us to page out pages underneath a Book3S HV guest, on processors that support virtualized partition memory, that is, POWER7. Instead of pinning all the guest's pages, we now look in the host userspace Linux page tables to find the mapping for a given guest page. Then, if the userspace Linux PTE gets invalidated, kvm_unmap_hva() gets called for that address, and we replace all the guest HPTEs that refer to that page with absent HPTEs, i.e. ones with the valid bit clear and the HPTE_V_ABSENT bit set, which will cause an HDSI when the guest tries to access them. Finally, the page fault handler is extended to reinstantiate the guest HPTE when the guest tries to access a page which has been paged out. Since we can't intercept the guest DSI and ISI interrupts on PPC970, we still have to pin all the guest pages on PPC970. We have a new flag, kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers, that indicates whether we can page guest pages out. If it is not set, the MMU notifier callbacks do nothing and everything operates as before.

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 expands the reverse mapping array to contain two links for each HPTE which are used to link together HPTEs that correspond to the same guest logical page. Each circular list of HPTEs is pointed to by the rmap array entry for the guest logical page, pointed to by the relevant memslot. Links are 32-bit HPT entry indexes rather than full 64-bit pointers, to save space. We use 3 of the remaining 32 bits in the rmap array entries as a lock bit, a referenced bit and a present bit (the present bit is needed since HPTE index 0 is valid).

Then, in kvmppc_h_enter() we check that the cache bits in the HPTE that the guest wants to insert match the cache bits in the slot_phys array entry. However, we do allow the guest to create what it thinks is a non-cacheable or write-through mapping to memory that is actually cacheable, so that we can use normal system memory as part of an emulated device later on.

This removes the code from kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region() that looked up the VMA for the region being added and called hva_to_page to get the pfns for the memory. We have no guarantee that there will be anything mapped there at the time of the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl call; userspace can do that ioctl and then map memory into the region later. Instead we defer looking up the pfn for each memory page until it is needed, which generally means when the guest does an H_ENTER hcall on the page. Since we can't call get_user_pages in real mode, if we don't already have the pfn for the page, kvmppc_h_enter() will return H_TOO_HARD and we then call kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter() once we get back to kernel context. That calls kvmppc_get_guest_page() to get the pfn for the page, and then calls back to kvmppc_h_enter() to redo the HPTE insertion. When the first vcpu starts executing, we need to have the RMO or VRMA region mapped so that the guest's real mode accesses will work. Thus we now have a check in kvmppc_vcpu_run() to see if the RMO/VRMA is set up and if not, call kvmppc_hv_setup_rma(). It checks if the memslot starting at guest physical 0 now has RMO memory mapped there; if so it sets it up for the guest, otherwise on POWER7 it sets up the VRMA. The function that does that, kvmppc_map_vrma, is now a bit simpler, as it calls kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter instead of creating the HPTE itself. Since we are now potentially updating entries in the slot_phys[] arrays from multiple vcpu threads, we now have a spinlock protecting those updates to ensure that we don't lose track of any references to pages.

This adds an array that parallels the guest hashed page table (HPT), that is, it has one entry per HPTE, used to store the guest's view of the second doubleword of the corresponding HPTE. The first doubleword in the HPTE is the same as the guest's idea of it, so we don't need to store a copy, but the second doubleword in the HPTE has the real page number rather than the guest's logical page number. This allows us to remove the back_translate() and reverse_xlate() functions. This "reverse mapping" array is vmalloc'd, meaning that to access it in real mode we have to walk the kernel's page tables explicitly. That is done by the new real_vmalloc_addr() function. (In fact this returns an address in the linear mapping, so the result is usable both in real mode and in virtual mode.) There are also some minor cleanups here: moving the definitions of HPT_ORDER etc. to a header file and defining HPT_NPTE for HPT_NPTEG << 3.

This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest in PR-mode KVM without trapping. SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace. On booke, KVM will sync these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from guest userspace will work. The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently use either the real registers or the shared area between exits. This also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3. On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported (they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic chips). They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any non-booke emulation. I also do not see any syncing with real registers (in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3.

With a KVM guest operating in SMT4 mode (i.e. 4 hardware threads per core), whenever a CPU goes idle, we have to pull all the other hardware threads in the core out of the guest, because the H_CEDE hcall is handled in the kernel. This is inefficient. This adds code to book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S to handle the H_CEDE hcall in real mode. When a guest vcpu does an H_CEDE hcall, we now only exit to the kernel if all the other vcpus in the same core are also idle. Otherwise we mark this vcpu as napping, save state that could be lost in nap mode (mainly GPRs and FPRs), and execute the nap instruction. When the thread wakes up, because of a decrementer or external interrupt, we come back in at kvm_start_guest (from the system reset interrupt vector), find the `napping' flag set in the paca, and go to the resume path. This has some other ramifications. First, when starting a core, we now start all the threads, both those that are immediately runnable and those that are idle. This is so that we don't have to pull all the threads out of the guest when an idle thread gets a decrementer interrupt and wants to start running. In fact the idle threads will all start with the H_CEDE hcall returning; being idle they will just do another H_CEDE immediately and go to nap mode. This required some changes to kvmppc_run_core() and kvmppc_run_vcpu(). These functions have been restructured to make them simpler and clearer. We introduce a level of indirection in the wait queue that gets woken when external and decrementer interrupts get generated for a vcpu, so that we can have the 4 vcpus in a vcore using the same wait queue. We need this because the 4 vcpus are being handled by one thread. Secondly, when we need to exit from the guest to the kernel, we now have to generate an IPI for any napping threads, because an HDEC interrupt doesn't wake up a napping thread. Thirdly, we now need to be able to handle virtual external interrupts and decrementer interrupts becoming pending while a thread is napping, and deliver those interrupts to the guest when the thread wakes. This is done in kvmppc_cede_reentry, just before fast_guest_return. Finally, since we are not using the generic kvm_vcpu_block for book3s_hv, and hence not calling kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable, we can remove the #ifdef from kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable.

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. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

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.

When running a PAPR guest, some things change. The privilege level drops from hypervisor to supervisor, SDR1 gets treated differently and we interpret hypercalls. For bisectability sake, add the flag now, but only enable it when all the support code is there. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

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. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
