Currently, the powerpc kvm_arch structure contains a number of variables tracking the state of the guest's hashed page table (HPT) in KVM HV. This patch gathers them all together into a single kvm_hpt_info substructure. This makes life more convenient for the upcoming HPT resizing implementation.

The difference between kvm_alloc_hpt() and kvmppc_alloc_hpt() is not at all obvious from the name. In practice kvmppc_alloc_hpt() allocates an HPT by whatever means, and calls kvm_alloc_hpt() which will attempt to allocate it with CMA only. To make this less confusing, rename kvm_alloc_hpt() to kvm_alloc_hpt_cma(). Similarly, kvm_release_hpt() is renamed kvm_free_hpt_cma().

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. Thus a guest cannot switch from one mode to the other, which enables some simplifications. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

If we allow LPCR[AIL] to be set for radix guests, then interrupts from the guest to the host can be delivered by the hardware with relocation on, and thus the code path starting at kvmppc_interrupt_hv can be executed in virtual mode (MMU on) for radix guests (previously it was only ever executed in real mode). Most of the code is indifferent to whether the MMU is on or off, but the calls to OPAL that use the real-mode OPAL entry code need to be switched to use the virtual-mode code instead. The affected calls are the calls to the OPAL XICS emulation functions in kvmppc_read_one_intr() and related functions. We test the MSR[IR] bit to detect whether we are in real or virtual mode, and call the opal_rm_* or opal_* function as appropriate. The other place that depends on the MMU being off is the optimization where the guest exit code jumps to the external interrupt vector or hypervisor doorbell interrupt vector, or returns to its caller (which is __kvmppc_vcore_entry). If the MMU is on and we are returning to the caller, then we don't need to use an rfid instruction since the MMU is already on; a simple blr suffices. If there is an external or hypervisor doorbell interrupt to handle, we branch to the relocation-on version of the interrupt vector.

With radix, the guest can do TLB invalidations itself using the tlbie (global) and tlbiel (local) TLB invalidation instructions. Linux guests use local TLB invalidations for translations that have only ever been accessed on one vcpu. However, that doesn't mean that the translations have only been accessed on one physical cpu (pcpu) since vcpus can move around from one pcpu to another. Thus a tlbiel might leave behind stale TLB entries on a pcpu where the vcpu previously ran, and if that task then moves back to that previous pcpu, it could see those stale TLB entries and thus access memory incorrectly. The usual symptom of this is random segfaults in userspace programs in the guest. To cope with this, we detect when a vcpu is about to start executing on a thread in a core that is a different core from the last time it executed. If that is the case, then we mark the core as needing a TLB flush and then send an interrupt to any thread in the core that is currently running a vcpu from the same guest. This will get those vcpus out of the guest, and the first one to re-enter the guest will do the TLB flush. The reason for interrupting the vcpus executing on the old core is to cope with the following scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 4 (core 0) (core 0) (core 1) VCPU 0 runs task X VCPU 1 runs core 0 TLB gets entries from task X VCPU 0 moves to CPU 4 VCPU 0 runs task X Unmap pages of task X tlbiel (still VCPU 1) task X moves to VCPU 1 task X runs task X sees stale TLB entries That is, as soon as the VCPU starts executing on the new core, it could unmap and tlbiel some page table entries, and then the task could migrate to one of the VCPUs running on the old core and potentially see stale TLB entries. Since the TLB is shared between all the threads in a core, we only use the bit of kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush corresponding to the first thread in the core. To ensure that we don't have a window where we can miss a flush, this moves the clearing of the bit from before the actual flush to after it. This way, two threads might both do the flush, but we prevent the situation where one thread can enter the guest before the flush is finished.

This adds code to keep track of dirty pages when requested (that is, when memslot->dirty_bitmap is non-NULL) for radix guests. We use the dirty bits in the PTEs in the second-level (partition-scoped) page tables, together with a bitmap of pages that were dirty when their PTE was invalidated (e.g., when the page was paged out). This bitmap is stored in the first half of the memslot->dirty_bitmap area, and kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log_hv() now uses the second half for the bitmap that gets returned to userspace.

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. There is no support for 1GB huge pages yet. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

This adds code to branch around the parts that radix guests don't need - clearing and loading the SLB with the guest SLB contents, saving the guest SLB contents on exit, and restoring the host SLB contents. Since the host is now using radix, we need to save and restore the host value for the PID register. On hypervisor data/instruction storage interrupts, we don't do the guest HPT lookup on radix, but just save the guest physical address for the fault (from the ASDR register) in the vcpu struct.

This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest. The two capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a process table and segment tables. (Note that the MMUs in the POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does). The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process table. The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about the radix MMU. It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries (base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the radix tree) and the encoding used to specify the various page sizes for the TLB invalidate entry instruction. Initially, both capabilities return 0 and the ioctls return -EINVAL, until the necessary infrastructure for them to operate correctly is added.

64-bit Book3S exception handlers must find the dynamic kernel base to add to the target address when branching beyond __end_interrupts, in order to support kernel running at non-0 physical address. Support this in KVM by branching with CTR, similarly to regular interrupt handlers. The guest CTR saved in HSTATE_SCRATCH1 and restored after the branch.

The H_PROD hypercall is supposed to wake up an idle vcpu. We have an implementation, but because Linux doesn't use it except when doing cpu hotplug, it was never tested properly. AIX does use it, and reported it broken. It turns out we were waking the wrong vcpu (the one doing H_PROD, not the target of the prod) and we weren't handling the case where the target needs an IPI to wake it. Fix it by using the existing kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv() function, which is intended for this kind of thing, and by using the target vcpu not the current vcpu. We were also not looking at the prodded flag when checking whether a ceded vcpu should wake up, so this adds checks for the prodded flag alongside the checks for pending exceptions.

This patch improves the code that takes lock twice to check the resend flag and do the actual resending, by checking the resend flag locklessly, and add a boolean parameter check_resend to icp_[rm_]deliver_irq(), so the resend flag can be checked in the lock when doing the delivery. We need make sure when we clear the ics's bit in the icp's resend_map, we don't miss the resend flag of the irqs that set the bit. It could be ordered through the barrier in test_and_clear_bit(), and a newly added wmb between setting irq's resend flag, and icp's resend_map.

This patch implements P(Presented)/Q(Queued) states for ICS irqs. When the interrupt is presented, set P. Present if P was not set. If P is already set, don't present again, set Q. When the interrupt is EOI'ed, move Q into P (and clear Q). If it is set, re-present. The asserted flag used by LSI is also incorporated into the P bit. When the irq state is saved, P/Q bits are also saved, they need some qemu modifications to be recognized and passed around to be restored. KVM_XICS_PENDING bit set and saved should also indicate KVM_XICS_PRESENTED bit set and saved. But it is possible some old code doesn't have/recognize the P bit, so when we restore, we set P for PENDING bit, too. The idea and much of the code come from Ben.

If the target vcpu for kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv() is not running on any CPU, then we will have vcpu->arch.thread_cpu == -1, and as it happens, kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv will call kvmppc_ipi_thread with -1 as the cpu argument. Although this is not meaningful, in the past, before commit 1704a81c ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for IPIs to other cores on POWER9", 2016-11-18), it was harmless because CPU -1 is not in the same core as any real CPU thread. On a POWER9, however, we don't do the "same core" check, so we were trying to do a msgsnd to thread -1, which is invalid. To avoid this, we add a check to see that vcpu->arch.thread_cpu is >= 0 before calling kvmppc_ipi_thread() with it. Since vcpu->arch.thread_vcpu can change asynchronously, we use READ_ONCE to ensure that the value we check is the same value that we use as the argument to kvmppc_ipi_thread().

The kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns defines the global maximum halt polling interval and can be dynamically changed by writing to the /sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns sysfs file. However in kvm-hv this module parameter value is only ever checked when we grow the current polling interval for the given vcore. This means that if we decrease the halt_poll_ns value below the current polling interval we won't see any effect unless we try to grow the polling interval above the new max at some point or it happens to be shrunk below the halt_poll_ns value. Update the halt polling code so that we always check for a new module param value of halt_poll_ns and set the current halt polling interval to it if it's currently greater than the new max. This means that it's redundant to also perform this check in the grow_halt_poll_ns() function now.

With POWER9, each CPU thread has its own MMU context and can be in the host or a guest independently of the other threads; there is still however a restriction that all threads must use the same type of address translation, either radix tree or hashed page table (HPT). Since we only support HPT guests on a HPT host at this point, we can treat the threads as being independent, and avoid all of the work of coordinating the CPU threads. To make this simpler, we introduce a new threads_per_vcore() function that returns 1 on POWER9 and threads_per_subcore on POWER7/8, and use that instead of threads_per_subcore or threads_per_core in various places. This also changes the value of the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability on POWER9 systems from 4 to 1, so that userspace will not try to create VMs with multiple vcpus per vcore. (If userspace did create a VM that thought it was in an SMT mode, the VM might try to use the msgsndp instruction, which will not work as expected. In future it may be possible to trap and emulate msgsndp in order to allow VMs to think they are in an SMT mode, if only for the purpose of allowing migration from POWER8 systems.) With all this, we can now run guests on POWER9 as long as the host is running with HPT translation. Since userspace currently has no way to request radix tree translation for the guest, the guest has no choice but to use HPT translation. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 includes a new interrupt controller, called XIVE, which is quite different from the XICS interrupt controller on POWER7 and POWER8 machines. KVM-HV accesses the XICS directly in several places in order to send and clear IPIs and handle interrupts from PCI devices being passed through to the guest. In order to make the transition to XIVE easier, OPAL firmware will include an emulation of XICS on top of XIVE. Access to the emulated XICS is via OPAL calls. The one complication is that the EOI (end-of-interrupt) function can now return a value indicating that another interrupt is pending; in this case, the XIVE will not signal an interrupt in hardware to the CPU, and software is supposed to acknowledge the new interrupt without waiting for another interrupt to be delivered in hardware. This adapts KVM-HV to use the OPAL calls on machines where there is no XICS hardware. When there is no XICS, we look for a device-tree node with "ibm,opal-intc" in its compatible property, which is how OPAL indicates that it provides XICS emulation. In order to handle the EOI return value, kvmppc_read_intr() has become kvmppc_read_one_intr(), with a boolean variable passed by reference which can be set by the EOI functions to indicate that another interrupt is pending. The new kvmppc_read_intr() keeps calling kvmppc_read_one_intr() until there are no more interrupts to process.

On POWER9, the msgsnd instruction is able to send interrupts to other cores, as well as other threads on the local core. Since msgsnd is generally simpler and faster than sending an IPI via the XICS, we use msgsnd for all IPIs sent by KVM on POWER9. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
