This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest. The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2 of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the actual order of the HPT which was allocated. There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in kvm->arch.vcpus_running. If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done will re-establish the VRMA if necessary. If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants. When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed (256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to 1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to 16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

When handling the H_BULK_REMOVE hypercall, we were forgetting to invalidate and unlock the hashed page table entry (HPTE) in the case where the page had been paged out. This fixes it by clearing the first doubleword of the HPTE in that case. This fixes a regression introduced in commit a92bce95 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Keep HPTE locked when invalidating"). The effect of the regression is that the host kernel will sometimes hang when under memory pressure. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

When jumping back into the kernel to code that knows that it would be using HSRR registers instead of SRR registers, we need to make sure we pass it all information on where to jump to in HSRR registers. Unfortunately, we used r10 to store the information to distinguish between the HSRR and SRR case. That register got clobbered in between though, rendering the later comparison invalid. Instead, let's use cr1 to store this information. That way we don't need yet another register and everyone's happy. This fixes PR KVM on POWER7 bare metal for me.

The H_REGISTER_VPA hcall implementation in HV Power KVM needs to pin some guest memory pages into host memory so that they can be safely accessed from usermode. It does this used get_user_pages_fast(). When the VPA is unregistered, or the VCPUs are cleaned up, these pages are released using put_page(). However, the get_user_pages() is invoked on the specific memory are of the VPA which could lie within hugepages. In case the pinned page is huge, we explicitly find the head page of the compound page before calling put_page() on it. At least with the latest kernel, this is not correct. put_page() already handles finding the correct head page of a compound, and also deals with various counts on the individual tail page which are important for transparent huge pages. We don't support transparent hugepages on Power, but even so, bypassing this count maintenance can lead (when the VM ends) to a hugepage being released back to the pool with a non-zero mapcount on one of the tail pages. This can then lead to a bad_page() when the page is released from the hugepage pool. This removes the explicit compound_head() call to correct this bug.

When reading and writing SPRs, every SPR emulation piece had to read or write the respective GPR the value was read from or stored in itself. This approach is pretty prone to failure. What if we accidentally implement mfspr emulation where we just do "break" and nothing else? Suddenly we would get a random value in the return register - which is always a bad idea. So let's consolidate the generic code paths and only give the core specific SPR handling code readily made variables to read/write from/to. Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything, but it increases the readability of the code and makes is less prone to bugs. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Instructions on PPC are pretty similarly encoded. So instead of every instruction emulation code decoding the instruction fields itself, we can move that code to more generic places and rely on the compiler to optimize the unused bits away. This has 2 advantages. It makes the code smaller and it makes the code less error prone, as the instruction fields are always available, so accidental misusage is reduced.

Time for which the hrtimer is started for decrementer emulation is calculated using tb_ticks_per_usec. While hrtimer uses the clockevent for DEC reprogramming (if needed) and which calculate timebase ticks using the multiplier and shifter mechanism implemented within clockevent layer. It was observed that this conversion (timebase->time->timebase) are not correct because the mechanism are not consistent. In our setup it adds 2% jitter. With this patch clockevent multiplier and shifter mechanism are used when starting hrtimer for decrementer emulation. Now the jitter is < 0.5%.

It turns out that on POWER7, writing to the DABR can cause a corrupted value to be written if the PMU is active and updating SDAR in continuous sampling mode. To work around this, we make sure that the PMU is inactive and SDAR updates are disabled (via MMCRA) when we are context-switching DABR. When the guest sets DABR via the H_SET_DABR hypercall, we use a slightly different workaround, which is to read back the DABR and write it again if it got corrupted. While we are at it, make it consistent that the saving and restoring of the guest's non-volatile GPRs and the FPRs are done with the guest setup of the PMU active.

This adds code to measure "stolen" time per virtual core in units of timebase ticks, and to report the stolen time to the guest using the dispatch trace log (DTL). The guest can register an area of memory for the DTL for a given vcpu. The DTL is a ring buffer where KVM fills in one entry every time it enters the guest for that vcpu. Stolen time is measured as time when the virtual core is not running, either because the vcore is not runnable (e.g. some of its vcpus are executing elsewhere in the kernel or in userspace), or when the vcpu thread that is running the vcore is preempted. This includes time when all the vcpus are idle (i.e. have executed the H_CEDE hypercall), which is OK because the guest accounts stolen time while idle as idle time. Each vcpu keeps a record of how much stolen time has been reported to the guest for that vcpu so far. When we are about to enter the guest, we create a new DTL entry (if the guest vcpu has a DTL) and report the difference between total stolen time for the vcore and stolen time reported so far for the vcpu as the "enqueue to dispatch" time in the DTL entry.

The PAPR API allows three sorts of per-virtual-processor areas to be registered (VPA, SLB shadow buffer, and dispatch trace log), and furthermore, these can be registered and unregistered for another virtual CPU. Currently we just update the vcpu fields pointing to these areas at the time of registration or unregistration. If this is done on another vcpu, there is the possibility that the target vcpu is using those fields at the time and could end up using a bogus pointer and corrupting memory. This fixes the race by making the target cpu itself do the update, so we can be sure that the update happens at a time when the fields aren't being used. Each area now has a struct kvmppc_vpa which is used to manage these updates. There is also a spinlock which protects access to all of the kvmppc_vpa structs, other than to the pinned_addr fields. (We could have just taken the spinlock when using the vpa, slb_shadow or dtl fields, but that would mean taking the spinlock on every guest entry and exit.) This also changes 'struct dtl' (which was undefined) to 'struct dtl_entry', which is what the rest of the kernel uses.

Currently on POWER7, if we are running the guest on a core and we don't need all the hardware threads, we do nothing to ensure that the unused threads aren't executing in the kernel (other than checking that they are offline). We just assume they're napping and we don't do anything to stop them trying to enter the kernel while the guest is running. This means that a stray IPI can wake up the hardware thread and it will then try to enter the kernel, but since the core is in guest context, it will execute code from the guest in hypervisor mode once it turns the MMU on, which tends to lead to crashes or hangs in the host. This fixes the problem by adding two new one-byte flags in the kvmppc_host_state structure in the PACA which are used to interlock between the primary thread and the unused secondary threads when entering the guest. With these flags, the primary thread can ensure that the unused secondaries are not already in kernel mode (i.e. handling a stray IPI) and then indicate that they should not try to enter the kernel if they do get woken for any reason. Instead they will go into KVM code, find that there is no vcpu to run, acknowledge and clear the IPI and go back to nap mode.
