The DAR register contains the address a data page fault occured at. This register behaves pretty much like a simple data storage register that gets written to on data faults. There is no hypervisor interaction required on read or write. This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to toggle in critical sections. So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

For transparent variable sharing between the hypervisor and guest, I introduce a shared page. This shared page will contain all the registers the guest can read and write safely without exiting guest context. This patch only implements the stubs required for the basic structure of the shared page. The actual register moving follows.

MOL uses its own hypercall interface to call back into userspace when the guest wants to do something. So let's implement that as an exit reason, specify it with a CAP and only really use it when userspace wants us to. The only user of it so far is MOL.

The guest I was trying to get to run uses the LHA and LHAU instructions. Those instructions basically do a load, but also sign extend the result. Since we need to fill our registers by hand when doing MMIO, we also need to sign extend manually. This patch implements sign extended MMIO and the LHA(U) instructions.

SRR1 stores more information that just the MSR value. It also stores valuable information about the type of interrupt we received, for example whether the storage interrupt we just got was because of a missing htab entry or not. We use that information to speed up the exit path. Now if we get preempted before we can interpret the shadow_msr values, we get into vcpu_put which then calls the MSR handler, which then sets all the SRR1 information bits in shadow_msr to 0. Great. So let's preserve the SRR1 specific bits in shadow_msr whenever we set the MSR. They don't hurt. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code. To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced with a similar problem and did the same thing: A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and then RFIs info the actual handler. Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching part.

We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault. After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there. That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it less racy and less complex. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace. For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing down the workloads we wanted to measure. Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory. As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a .config entry and should be off by default. Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still working with exit timing disabled in .config).

This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c. Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function pointers would only add overhead.

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace. The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time performance improvement: about 30%.

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it. Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host process (i.e. not qemu). Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves guest boot time by about 15%.
