Allow for a device which is being emulated at L0 (the host) for an L1 guest to be passed through to a nested (L2) guest. The existing kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio function can be used here. The main challenge is that for a load the result must be stored into the L2 gpr, not an L1 gpr as would normally be the case after going out to qemu to complete the operation. This presents a challenge as at this point the L2 gpr state has been written back into L1 memory. To work around this we store the address in L1 memory of the L2 gpr where the result of the load is to be stored and use the new io_gpr value KVM_MMIO_REG_NESTED_GPR to indicate that this is a nested load for which completion must be done when returning back into the kernel. Then in kvmppc_complete_mmio_load() the resultant value is written into L1 memory at the location of the indicated L2 gpr. Note that we don't currently let an L1 guest emulate a device for an L2 guest which is then passed through to an L3 guest.

The POWER9 radix mmu has the concept of quadrants. The quadrant number is the two high bits of the effective address and determines the fully qualified address to be used for the translation. The fully qualified address consists of the effective lpid, the effective pid and the effective address. This gives then 4 possible quadrants 0, 1, 2, and 3. When accessing these quadrants the fully qualified address is obtained as follows: Quadrant | Hypervisor | Guest -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EA[0:1] = 0b00 | EA[0:1] = 0b00 0 | effLPID = 0 | effLPID = LPIDR | effPID = PIDR | effPID = PIDR -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EA[0:1] = 0b01 | 1 | effLPID = LPIDR | Invalid Access | effPID = PIDR | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EA[0:1] = 0b10 | 2 | effLPID = LPIDR | Invalid Access | effPID = 0 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EA[0:1] = 0b11 | EA[0:1] = 0b11 3 | effLPID = 0 | effLPID = LPIDR | effPID = 0 | effPID = 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Guest; Quadrant 3 is normally used to address the operating system since this uses effPID=0 and effLPID=LPIDR, meaning the PID register doesn't need to be switched. Quadrant 0 is normally used to address user space since the effLPID and effPID are taken from the corresponding registers. In the Host; Quadrant 0 and 3 are used as above, however the effLPID is always 0 to address the host. Quadrants 1 and 2 can be used by the host to address guest memory using a guest effective address. Since the effLPID comes from the LPID register, the host loads the LPID of the guest it would like to access (and the PID of the process) and can perform accesses to a guest effective address. This means quadrant 1 can be used to address the guest user space and quadrant 2 can be used to address the guest operating system from the hypervisor, using a guest effective address. Access to the quadrants can cause a Hypervisor Data Storage Interrupt (HDSI) due to being unable to perform partition scoped translation. Previously this could only be generated from a guest and so the code path expects us to take the KVM trampoline in the interrupt handler. This is no longer the case so we modify the handler to call bad_page_fault() to check if we were expecting this fault so we can handle it gracefully and just return with an error code. In the hash mmu case we still raise an unknown exception since quadrants aren't defined for the hash mmu.

This adds code to flush the partition-scoped page tables for a radix guest when dirty tracking is turned on or off for a memslot. Only the guest real addresses covered by the memslot are flushed. The reason for this is to get rid of any 2M PTEs in the partition-scoped page tables that correspond to host transparent huge pages, so that page dirtiness is tracked at a system page (4k or 64k) granularity rather than a 2M granularity. The page tables are also flushed when turning dirty tracking off so that the memslot's address space can be repopulated with THPs if possible. To do this, we add a new function kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot(). Since this does what's needed for kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() on a radix guest, we now make kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() call the new kvmppc_radix_flush_memslot() rather than calling kvm_unmap_radix() for each page in the memslot. This has the effect of fixing a bug in that kvmppc_core_flush_memslot_hv() was previously calling kvm_unmap_radix() without holding the kvm->mmu_lock spinlock, which is required to be held.

When running a nested (L2) guest the guest (L1) hypervisor will use the H_TLB_INVALIDATE hcall when it needs to change the partition scoped page tables or the partition table which it manages. It will use this hcall in the situations where it would use a partition-scoped tlbie instruction if it were running in hypervisor mode. The H_TLB_INVALIDATE hcall can invalidate different scopes: Invalidate TLB for a given target address: - This invalidates a single L2 -> L1 pte - We need to invalidate any L2 -> L0 shadow_pgtable ptes which map the L2 address space which is being invalidated. This is because a single L2 -> L1 pte may have been mapped with more than one pte in the L2 -> L0 page tables. Invalidate the entire TLB for a given LPID or for all LPIDs: - Invalidate the entire shadow_pgtable for a given nested guest, or for all nested guests. Invalidate the PWC (page walk cache) for a given LPID or for all LPIDs: - We don't cache the PWC, so nothing to do. Invalidate the entire TLB, PWC and partition table for a given/all LPIDs: - Here we re-read the partition table entry and remove the nested state for any nested guest for which the first doubleword of the partition table entry is now zero. The H_TLB_INVALIDATE hcall takes as parameters the tlbie instruction word (of which only the RIC, PRS and R fields are used), the rS value (giving the lpid, where required) and the rB value (giving the IS, AP and EPN values).

When a host (L0) page which is mapped into a (L1) guest is in turn mapped through to a nested (L2) guest we keep a reverse mapping (rmap) so that these mappings can be retrieved later. Whenever we create an entry in a shadow_pgtable for a nested guest we create a corresponding rmap entry and add it to the list for the L1 guest memslot at the index of the L1 guest page it maps. This means at the L1 guest memslot we end up with lists of rmaps. When we are notified of a host page being invalidated which has been mapped through to a (L1) guest, we can then walk the rmap list for that guest page, and find and invalidate all of the corresponding shadow_pgtable entries. In order to reduce memory consumption, we compress the information for each rmap entry down to 52 bits -- 12 bits for the LPID and 40 bits for the guest real page frame number -- which will fit in a single unsigned long. To avoid a scenario where a guest can trigger unbounded memory allocations, we scan the list when adding an entry to see if there is already an entry with the contents we need. This can occur, because we don't ever remove entries from the middle of a list. A struct nested guest rmap is a list pointer and an rmap entry; ---------------- | next pointer | ---------------- | rmap entry | ---------------- Thus the rmap pointer for each guest frame number in the memslot can be either NULL, a single entry, or a pointer to a list of nested rmap entries. gfn memslot rmap array ------------------------- 0 | NULL | (no rmap entry) ------------------------- 1 | single rmap entry | (rmap entry with low bit set) ------------------------- 2 | list head pointer | (list of rmap entries) ------------------------- The final entry always has the lowest bit set and is stored in the next pointer of the last list entry, or as a single rmap entry.

Consider a normal (L1) guest running under the main hypervisor (L0), and then a nested guest (L2) running under the L1 guest which is acting as a nested hypervisor. L0 has page tables to map the address space for L1 providing the translation from L1 real address -> L0 real address; L1 | | (L1 -> L0) | ----> L0 There are also page tables in L1 used to map the address space for L2 providing the translation from L2 real address -> L1 read address. Since the hardware can only walk a single level of page table, we need to maintain in L0 a "shadow_pgtable" for L2 which provides the translation from L2 real address -> L0 real address. Which looks like; L2 L2 | | | (L2 -> L1) | | | ----> L1 | (L2 -> L0) | | | (L1 -> L0) | | | ----> L0 --------> L0 When a page fault occurs while running a nested (L2) guest we need to insert a pte into this "shadow_pgtable" for the L2 -> L0 mapping. To do this we need to: 1. Walk the pgtable in L1 memory to find the L2 -> L1 mapping, and provide a page fault to L1 if this mapping doesn't exist. 2. Use our L1 -> L0 pgtable to convert this L1 address to an L0 address, or try to insert a pte for that mapping if it doesn't exist. 3. Now we have a L2 -> L0 mapping, insert this into our shadow_pgtable Once this mapping exists we can take rc faults when hardware is unable to automatically set the reference and change bits in the pte. On these we need to: 1. Check the rc bits on the L2 -> L1 pte match, and otherwise reflect the fault down to L1. 2. Set the rc bits in the L1 -> L0 pte which corresponds to the same host page. 3. Set the rc bits in the L2 -> L0 pte. As we reuse a large number of functions in book3s_64_mmu_radix.c for this we also needed to refactor a number of these functions to take an lpid parameter so that the correct lpid is used for tlb invalidations. The functionality however has remained the same.

This adds a new hypercall, H_ENTER_NESTED, which is used by a nested hypervisor to enter one of its nested guests. The hypercall supplies register values in two structs. Those values are copied by the level 0 (L0) hypervisor (the one which is running in hypervisor mode) into the vcpu struct of the L1 guest, and then the guest is run until an interrupt or error occurs which needs to be reported to L1 via the hypercall return value. Currently this assumes that the L0 and L1 hypervisors are the same endianness, and the structs passed as arguments are in native endianness. If they are of different endianness, the version number check will fail and the hcall will be rejected. Nested hypervisors do not support indep_threads_mode=N, so this adds code to print a warning message if the administrator has set indep_threads_mode=N, and treat it as Y.

This starts the process of adding the code to support nested HV-style virtualization. It defines a new H_SET_PARTITION_TABLE hypercall which a nested hypervisor can use to set the base address and size of a partition table in its memory (analogous to the PTCR register). On the host (level 0 hypervisor) side, the H_SET_PARTITION_TABLE hypercall from the guest is handled by code that saves the virtual PTCR value for the guest. This also adds code for creating and destroying nested guests and for reading the partition table entry for a nested guest from L1 memory. Each nested guest has its own shadow LPID value, different in general from the LPID value used by the nested hypervisor to refer to it. The shadow LPID value is allocated at nested guest creation time. Nested hypervisor functionality is only available for a radix guest, which therefore means a radix host on a POWER9 (or later) processor.

It is not currently possible to create the full number of possible VCPUs (KVM_MAX_VCPUS) on Power9 with KVM-HV when the guest uses fewer threads per core than its core stride (or "VSMT mode"). This is because the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets grow beyond KVM_MAX_VCPUS even though the VCPU ID is less than KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID. To address this, "pack" the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets by using knowledge of the way the VCPU IDs will be used when there are fewer guest threads per core than the core stride. The primary thread of each core will always be used first. Then, if the guest uses more than one thread per core, these secondary threads will sequentially follow the primary in each core. So, the only way an ID above KVM_MAX_VCPUS can be seen, is if the VCPUs are being spaced apart, so at least half of each core is empty, and IDs between KVM_MAX_VCPUS and (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2) can be mapped into the second half of each core (4..7, in an 8-thread core). Similarly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2 are seen, at least 3/4 of each core is being left empty, and we can map down into the second and third quarters of each core (2, 3 and 5, 6 in an 8-thread core). Lastly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 4 are seen, only the primary threads are being used and 7/8 of the core is empty, allowing use of the 1, 5, 3 and 7 thread slots. (Strides less than 8 are handled similarly.) This allows the VCORE ID or offset to be calculated quickly from the VCPU ID or XIVE server numbers, without access to the VCPU structure.

Currently guest kernel doesn't handle TAR facility unavailable and it always runs with TAR bit on. PR KVM will lazily enable TAR. TAR is not a frequent-use register and it is not included in SVCPU struct. Due to the above, the checkpointed TAR val might be a bogus TAR val. To solve this issue, we will make vcpu->arch.fscr tar bit consistent with shadow_fscr when TM is enabled. At the end of emulating treclaim., the correct TAR val need to be loaded into the register if FSCR_TAR bit is on. At the beginning of emulating trechkpt., TAR needs to be flushed so that the right tar val can be copied into tar_tm.

Currently the kernel doesn't use transaction memory. And there is an issue for privileged state in the guest that: tbegin/tsuspend/tresume/tabort TM instructions can impact MSR TM bits without trapping into the PR host. So following code will lead to a false mfmsr result: tbegin <- MSR bits update to Transaction active. beq <- failover handler branch mfmsr <- still read MSR bits from magic page with transaction inactive. It is not an issue for non-privileged guest state since its mfmsr is not patched with magic page and will always trap into the PR host. This patch will always fail tbegin attempt for privileged state in the guest, so that the above issue is prevented. It is benign since currently (guest) kernel doesn't initiate a transaction.

Although Linux doesn't use PURR and SPURR ((Scaled) Processor Utilization of Resources Register), other OSes depend on them. On POWER8 they count at a rate depending on whether the VCPU is idle or running, the activity of the VCPU, and the value in the RWMR (Region-Weighting Mode Register). Hardware expects the hypervisor to update the RWMR when a core is dispatched to reflect the number of online VCPUs in the vcore. This adds code to maintain a count in the vcore struct indicating how many VCPUs are online. In kvmppc_run_core we use that count to set the RWMR register on POWER8. If the core is split because of a static or dynamic micro-threading mode, we use the value for 8 threads. The RWMR value is not relevant when the host is executing because Linux does not use the PURR or SPURR register, so we don't bother saving and restoring the host value. For the sake of old userspace which does not set the KVM_REG_PPC_ONLINE register, we set online to 1 if it was 0 at the time of a KVM_RUN ioctl. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

Currently, the HV KVM guest entry/exit code adds the timebase offset from the vcore struct to the timebase on guest entry, and subtracts it on guest exit. Which is fine, except that it is possible for userspace to change the offset using the SET_ONE_REG interface while the vcore is running, as there is only one timebase offset per vcore but potentially multiple VCPUs in the vcore. If that were to happen, KVM would subtract a different offset on guest exit from that which it had added on guest entry, leading to the timebase being out of sync between cores in the host, which then leads to bad things happening such as hangs and spurious watchdog timeouts. To fix this, we add a new field 'tb_offset_applied' to the vcore struct which stores the offset that is currently applied to the timebase. This value is set from the vcore tb_offset field on guest entry, and is what is subtracted from the timebase on guest exit. Since it is zero when the timebase offset is not applied, we can simplify the logic in kvmhv_start_timing and kvmhv_accumulate_time. In addition, we had secondary threads reading the timebase while running concurrently with code on the primary thread which would eventually add or subtract the timebase offset from the timebase. This occurred while saving or restoring the DEC register value on the secondary threads. Although no specific incorrect behaviour has been observed, this is a race which should be fixed. To fix it, we move the DEC saving code to just before we call kvmhv_commence_exit, and the DEC restoring code to after the point where we have waited for the primary thread to switch the MMU context and add the timebase offset. That way we are sure that the timebase contains the guest timebase value in both cases. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 has hardware bugs relating to transactional memory and thread reconfiguration (changes to hardware SMT mode). Specifically, the core does not have enough storage to store a complete checkpoint of all the architected state for all four threads. The DD2.2 version of POWER9 includes hardware modifications designed to allow hypervisor software to implement workarounds for these problems. This patch implements those workarounds in KVM code so that KVM guests see a full, working transactional memory implementation. The problems center around the use of TM suspended state, where the CPU has a checkpointed state but execution is not transactional. The workaround is to implement a "fake suspend" state, which looks to the guest like suspended state but the CPU does not store a checkpoint. In this state, any instruction that would cause a transition to transactional state (rfid, rfebb, mtmsrd, tresume) or would use the checkpointed state (treclaim) causes a "soft patch" interrupt (vector 0x1500) to the hypervisor so that it can be emulated. The trechkpt instruction also causes a soft patch interrupt. On POWER9 DD2.2, we avoid returning to the guest in any state which would require a checkpoint to be present. The trechkpt in the guest entry path which would normally create that checkpoint is replaced by either a transition to fake suspend state, if the guest is in suspend state, or a rollback to the pre-transactional state if the guest is in transactional state. Fake suspend state is indicated by a flag in the PACA plus a new bit in the PSSCR. The new PSSCR bit is write-only and reads back as 0. On exit from the guest, if the guest is in fake suspend state, we still do the treclaim instruction as we would in real suspend state, in order to get into non-transactional state, but we do not save the resulting register state since there was no checkpoint. Emulation of the instructions that cause a softpatch interrupt is handled in two paths. If the guest is in real suspend mode, we call kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() to handle the cases where the guest is transitioning to transactional state. This is called before we do the treclaim in the guest exit path; because we haven't done treclaim, we can get back to the guest with the transaction still active. If the instruction is a case that kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() doesn't handle, or if the guest is in fake suspend state, then we proceed to do the complete guest exit path and subsequently call kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation() in host context with the MMU on. This handles all the cases including the cases that generate program interrupts (illegal instruction or TM Bad Thing) and facility unavailable interrupts. The emulation is reasonably straightforward and is mostly concerned with checking for exception conditions and updating the state of registers such as MSR and CR0. The treclaim emulation takes care to ensure that the TEXASR register gets updated as if it were the guest treclaim instruction that had done failure recording, not the treclaim done in hypervisor state in the guest exit path. With this, the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM capability returns true (1) even if transactional memory is not available to host userspace.

Currently, the HPT code in HV KVM maintains a dirty bit per guest page in the rmap array, whether or not dirty page tracking has been enabled for the memory slot. In contrast, the radix code maintains a dirty bit per guest page in memslot->dirty_bitmap, and only does so when dirty page tracking has been enabled. This changes the HPT code to maintain the dirty bits in the memslot dirty_bitmap like radix does. This results in slightly less code overall, and will mean that we do not lose the dirty bits when transitioning between HPT and radix mode in future. There is one minor change to behaviour as a result. With HPT, when dirty tracking was enabled for a memslot, we would previously clear all the dirty bits at that point (both in the HPT entries and in the rmap arrays), meaning that a KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl immediately following would show no pages as dirty (assuming no vcpus have run in the meantime). With this change, the dirty bits on HPT entries are not cleared at the point where dirty tracking is enabled, so KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG would show as dirty any guest pages that are resident in the HPT and dirty. This is consistent with what happens on radix. This also fixes a bug in the mark_pages_dirty() function for radix (in the sense that the function no longer exists). In the case where a large page of 64 normal pages or more is marked dirty, the addressing of the dirty bitmap was incorrect and could write past the end of the bitmap. Fortunately this case was never hit in practice because a 2MB large page is only 32 x 64kB pages, and we don't support backing the guest with 1GB huge pages at this point.

Since commit b009031f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Take out virtual core piggybacking code", 2016-09-15), we only have at most one vcore per subcore. Previously, the fact that there might be more than one vcore per subcore meant that we had the notion of a "master vcore", which was the vcore that controlled thread 0 of the subcore. We also needed a list per subcore in the core_info struct to record which vcores belonged to each subcore. Now that there can only be one vcore in the subcore, we can replace the list with a simple pointer and get rid of the notion of the master vcore (and in fact treat every vcore as a master vcore). We can also get rid of the subcore_vm[] field in the core_info struct since it is never read.

This adds a few last pieces of the support for radix guests: * Implement the backends for the KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU and KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctls for radix guests * On POWER9, allow secondary threads to be on/off-lined while guests are running. * Set up LPCR and the partition table entry for radix guests. * Don't allocate the rmap array in the kvm_memory_slot structure on radix. * Don't try to initialize the HPT for radix guests, since they don't have an HPT. * Take out the code that prevents the HV KVM module from initializing on radix hosts. At this stage, we only support radix guests if the host is running in radix mode, and only support HPT guests if the host is running in HPT mode. Thus a guest cannot switch from one mode to the other, which enables some simplifications. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

This adds code to keep track of dirty pages when requested (that is, when memslot->dirty_bitmap is non-NULL) for radix guests. We use the dirty bits in the PTEs in the second-level (partition-scoped) page tables, together with a bitmap of pages that were dirty when their PTE was invalidated (e.g., when the page was paged out). This bitmap is stored in the first half of the memslot->dirty_bitmap area, and kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log_hv() now uses the second half for the bitmap that gets returned to userspace.

This adapts our implementations of the MMU notifier callbacks (unmap_hva, unmap_hva_range, age_hva, test_age_hva, set_spte_hva) to call radix functions when the guest is using radix. These implementations are much simpler than for HPT guests because we have only one PTE to deal with, so we don't need to traverse rmap chains.

This adds the code to construct the second-level ("partition-scoped" in architecturese) page tables for guests using the radix MMU. Apart from the PGD level, which is allocated when the guest is created, the rest of the tree is all constructed in response to hypervisor page faults. As well as hypervisor page faults for missing pages, we also get faults for reference/change (RC) bits needing to be set, as well as various other error conditions. For now, we only set the R or C bit in the guest page table if the same bit is set in the host PTE for the backing page. This code can take advantage of the guest being backed with either transparent or ordinary 2MB huge pages, and insert 2MB page entries into the guest page tables. There is no support for 1GB huge pages yet. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one per CPU thread. The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector. (CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.) For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value. With this, the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure. This also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores would share a single VTB register. PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM has no notion of CPU threads or SMT. For PR KVM we move the VTB state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

This patch introduces new halt polling functionality into the kvm_hv kernel module. When a vcore is idle it will poll for some period of time before scheduling itself out. When all of the runnable vcpus on a vcore have ceded (and thus the vcore is idle) we schedule ourselves out to allow something else to run. In the event that we need to wake up very quickly (for example an interrupt arrives), we are required to wait until we get scheduled again. Implement halt polling so that when a vcore is idle, and before scheduling ourselves, we poll for vcpus in the runnable_threads list which have pending exceptions or which leave the ceded state. If we poll successfully then we can get back into the guest very quickly without ever scheduling ourselves, otherwise we schedule ourselves out as before. There exists generic halt_polling code in virt/kvm_main.c, however on powerpc the polling conditions are different to the generic case. It would be nice if we could just implement an arch specific kvm_check_block() function, but there is still other arch specific things which need to be done for kvm_hv (for example manipulating vcore states) which means that a separate implementation is the best option. Testing of this patch with a TCP round robin test between two guests with virtio network interfaces has found a decrease in round trip time of ~15us on average. A performance gain is only seen when going out of and back into the guest often and quickly, otherwise there is no net benefit from the polling. The polling interval is adjusted such that when we are often scheduled out for long periods of time it is reduced, and when we often poll successfully it is increased. The rate at which the polling interval increases or decreases, and the maximum polling interval, can be set through module parameters. Based on the implementation in the generic kvm module by Wanpeng Li and Paolo Bonzini, and on direction from Paul Mackerras.

The struct kvmppc_vcore is a structure used to store various information about a virtual core for a kvm guest. The runnable_threads element of the struct provides a list of all of the currently runnable vcpus on the core (those in the KVMPPC_VCPU_RUNNABLE state). The previous implementation of this list was a linked_list. The next patch requires that the list be able to be iterated over without holding the vcore lock. Reimplement the runnable_threads list in the kvmppc_vcore struct as an array. Implement function to iterate over valid entries in the array and update access sites accordingly.

The next commit will introduce a member to the kvmppc_vcore struct which references MAX_SMT_THREADS which is defined in kvm_book3s_asm.h, however this file isn't included in kvm_host.h directly. Thus compiling for certain platforms such as pmac32_defconfig and ppc64e_defconfig with KVM fails due to MAX_SMT_THREADS not being defined.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory, PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory. The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into 4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type. The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new _PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active. Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references against the device driver established page mapping. Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new "struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page allocator. This patch (of 18): The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

In 64 bit kernels, the Fixed Point Exception Register (XER) is a 64 bit field (e.g. in kvm_regs and kvm_vcpu_arch) and in most places it is accessed as such. This patch corrects places where it is accessed as a 32 bit field by a 64 bit kernel. In some cases this is via a 32 bit load or store instruction which, depending on endianness, will cause either the lower or upper 32 bits to be missed. In another case it is cast as a u32, causing the upper 32 bits to be cleared. This patch corrects those places by extending the access methods to 64 bits.

This fixes a bug in the tracking of pages that get modified by the guest. If the guest creates a large-page HPTE, writes to memory somewhere within the large page, and then removes the HPTE, we only record the modified state for the first normal page within the large page, when in fact the guest might have modified some other normal page within the large page. To fix this we use some unused bits in the rmap entry to record the order (log base 2) of the size of the page that was modified, when removing an HPTE. Then in kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages() we use that order to return the correct number of modified pages. The same thing could in principle happen when removing a HPTE at the host's request, i.e. when paging out a page, except that we never page out large pages, and the guest can only create large-page HPTEs if the guest RAM is backed by large pages. However, we also fix this case for the sake of future-proofing. The reference bit is also subject to the same loss of information. We don't make the same fix here for the reference bit because there isn't an interface for userspace to find out which pages the guest has referenced, whereas there is one for userspace to find out which pages the guest has modified. Because of this loss of information, the kvm_age_hva_hv() and kvm_test_age_hva_hv() functions might incorrectly say that a page has not been referenced when it has, but that doesn't matter greatly because we never page or swap out large pages.

On POWER, storage caching is usually configured via the MMU - attributes such as cache-inhibited are stored in the TLB and the hashed page table. This makes correctly performing cache inhibited IO accesses awkward when the MMU is turned off (real mode). Some CPU models provide special registers to control the cache attributes of real mode load and stores but this is not at all consistent. This is a problem in particular for SLOF, the firmware used on KVM guests, which runs entirely in real mode, but which needs to do IO to load the kernel. To simplify this qemu implements two special hypercalls, H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD and H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE which simulate a cache-inhibited load or store to a logical address (aka guest physical address). SLOF uses these for IO. However, because these are implemented within qemu, not the host kernel, these bypass any IO devices emulated within KVM itself. The simplest way to see this problem is to attempt to boot a KVM guest from a virtio-blk device with iothread / dataplane enabled. The iothread code relies on an in kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification, which is not triggered by the IO hcalls, and so the guest will stall in SLOF unable to load the guest OS. This patch addresses this by providing in-kernel implementations of the 2 hypercalls, which correctly scan the KVM IO bus. Any access to an address not handled by the KVM IO bus will cause a VM exit, hitting the qemu implementation as before. Note that a userspace change is also required, in order to enable these new hcall implementations with KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.
