      KVM: PPC: book3s_hv: Add support for PPC970-family processors · 9e368f29
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Handle some PAPR hcalls in the kernel · a8606e20
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.
