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.

The HTAB on PPC is always in big endian. When we access it via hypercalls on behalf of the guest and we're running on a little endian host, we need to make sure we swap the bits accordingly. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This adds a per-VM mutex to provide mutual exclusion between vcpus for accesses to and updates of the guest hashed page table (HPT). This also makes the code use single-byte writes to the HPT entry when updating of the reference (R) and change (C) bits. The reason for doing this, rather than writing back the whole HPTE, is that on non-PAPR virtual machines, the guest OS might be writing to the HPTE concurrently, and writing back the whole HPTE might conflict with that. Also, real hardware does single-byte writes to update R and C. The new mutex is taken in kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_xlate() when reading the HPT and updating R and/or C, and in the PAPR HPT update hcalls (H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, etc.). Having the mutex means that we don't need to use a hypervisor lock bit in the HPT update hcalls, and we don't need to be careful about the order in which the bytes of the HPTE are updated by those hcalls. The other change here is to make emulated TLB invalidations (tlbie) effective across all vcpus. To do this we call kvmppc_mmu_pte_vflush for all vcpus in kvmppc_ppc_book3s_64_tlbie(). For 32-bit, this makes the setting of the accessed and dirty bits use single-byte writes, and makes tlbie invalidate shadow HPTEs for all vcpus. With this, PR KVM can successfully run SMP guests.

The implementation of H_ENTER in PR KVM has some errors: * With H_EXACT not set, if the HPTEG is full, we return H_PTEG_FULL as the return value of kvmppc_h_pr_enter, but the caller is expecting one of the EMULATE_* values. The H_PTEG_FULL needs to go in the guest's R3 instead. * With H_EXACT set, if the selected HPTE is already valid, the H_ENTER call should return a H_PTEG_FULL error. This fixes these errors and also makes it write only the selected HPTE, not the whole group, since only the selected HPTE has been modified. This also micro-optimizes the calculations involving pte_index and i. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code. These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in future.

This adds in-kernel emulation of the XICS (eXternal Interrupt Controller Specification) interrupt controller specified by PAPR, for both HV and PR KVM guests. The XICS emulation supports up to 1048560 interrupt sources. Interrupt source numbers below 16 are reserved; 0 is used to mean no interrupt and 2 is used for IPIs. Internally these are represented in blocks of 1024, called ICS (interrupt controller source) entities, but that is not visible to userspace. Each vcpu gets one ICP (interrupt controller presentation) entity, used to store the per-vcpu state such as vcpu priority, pending interrupt state, IPI request, etc. This does not include any API or any way to connect vcpus to their ICP state; that will be added in later patches. This is based on an initial implementation by Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> reworked by Benjamin Herrenschmidt and Paul Mackerras.

For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS calls in the kernel itself. This adds an infrastructure to allow in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name. A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to associate token values with those service names. Then, when the guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being passed up to userspace as at present.

There is nothing in the code for emulating TCE tables in the kernel that prevents it from working on "PR" KVM... other than ifdef's and location of the code. This and moves the bulk of the code there to a new file called book3s_64_vio.c. This speeds things up a bit on my G5.

When running kvm_vcpu_block and it realizes that the CPU is actually good to run, we get a request bit set for KVM_REQ_UNHALT. Right now, there's nothing we can do with that bit, so let's unset it right after the call again so we don't get confused in our later checks for pending work.

When running a PAPR guest, we need to handle a few hypercalls in kernel space, most prominently the page table invalidation (to sync the shadows). So this patch adds handling for a few PAPR hypercalls to PR mode KVM. I tried to share the code with HV mode, but it ended up being a lot easier this way around, as the two differ too much in those details.
