This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by implementing it in real mode. H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the PAPR interface. Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number of host/guest context switches during guest IO. There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a checkpoint resume or migration.

This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel, either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode, or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU is off. This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode: H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel: H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA) The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

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.

There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running, rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu. This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit. On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able to get to them both with one pointer. On 64-bit they are separate fields in the PACA. This means that on 64-bit we don't need to copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all. That does mean that we have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block or get preempted.

Doing so means that we don't have to save the flags anywhere and gets rid of the last reference to to_book3s(vcpu) in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c. Doing so is OK because a program interrupt won't be generated at the same time as any other synchronous interrupt. If a program interrupt and an asynchronous interrupt (external or decrementer) are generated at the same time, the program interrupt will be delivered, which is correct because it has a higher priority, and then the asynchronous interrupt will be masked. We don't ever generate system reset or machine check interrupts to the guest, but if we did, then we would need to make sure they got delivered rather than the program interrupt. The current code would be wrong in this situation anyway since it would deliver the program interrupt as well as the reset/machine check interrupt.

Instead of branching out-of-line with the DO_KVM macro to check if we are in a KVM guest at the time of an interrupt, this moves the KVM check inline in the first-level interrupt handlers. This speeds up the non-KVM case and makes sure that none of the interrupt handlers are missing the check. Because the first-level interrupt handlers are now larger, some things had to be move out of line in exceptions-64s.S. This all necessitated some minor changes to the interrupt entry code in KVM. This also streamlines the book3s_32 KVM test. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

In preparation for adding code to enable KVM to use hypervisor mode on 64-bit Book 3S processors, this splits book3s.c into two files, book3s.c and book3s_pr.c, where book3s_pr.c contains the code that is specific to running the guest in problem state (user mode) and book3s.c contains code which should apply to all Book 3S processors. In doing this, we abstract some details, namely the interrupt offset, updating the interrupt pending flag, and detecting if the guest is in a critical section. These are all things that will be different when we use hypervisor mode. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Commit 69acc0d3ba ("KVM: PPC: Resolve real-mode handlers through function exports") resulted in vcpu->arch.trampoline_lowmem and vcpu->arch.trampoline_enter ending up with kernel virtual addresses rather than physical addresses. This is OK on 64-bit Book3S machines, which ignore the top 4 bits of the effective address in real mode, but on 32-bit Book3S machines, accessing these addresses in real mode causes machine check interrupts, as the hardware uses the whole effective address as the physical address in real mode. This fixes the problem by using __pa() to convert these addresses to physical addresses. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS]. Use both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest PID. This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to invalidate the entire TLB. When the guest mode or PID changes, we just update the host PID0/PID1. And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict. Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to a value other than zero. This will need to be fixed for nested KVM to work. Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2 to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them to something else.

This allows large pages to be used on guest mappings backed by things like /dev/mem, resulting in a significant speedup when guest memory is mapped this way (it's useful for directly-assigned MMIO, too). This is not a substitute for hugetlbfs integration, but is useful for configurations where devices are directly assigned on chips without an IOMMU -- in these cases, we need guest physical and true physical to match, and be contiguous, so static reservation and mapping via /dev/mem is the most straightforward way to set things up.

This is done lazily. The SPE save will be done only if the guest has used SPE since the last preemption or heavyweight exit. Restore will be done only on demand, when enabling MSR_SPE in the shadow MSR, in response to an SPE fault or mtmsr emulation. For SPEFSCR, Linux already switches it on context switch (non-lazily), so the only remaining bit is to save it between qemu and the guest.

Up until now, Book3S KVM had variables stored in the kernel that a kernel module or the kvm code in the kernel could read from to figure out where some real mode helper functions are located. This is all unnecessary. The high bits of the EA get ignore in real mode, so we can just use the pointer as is. Also, it's a lot easier on relocations when we use the normal way of resolving the address to a function, instead of jumping through hoops. This patch fixes compilation with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
