We handle FSCR feature bits (well, TAR only really today) lazily when the guest
starts using them. So when a guest activates the bit and later uses that feature
we enable it for real in hardware.

However, when the guest stops using that bit we don't stop setting it in
hardware. That means we can potentially lose a trap that the guest expects to
happen because it thinks a feature is not active.

This patch adds support to drop TAR when then guest turns it off in FSCR. While
at it it also restricts FSCR access to 64bit systems - 32bit ones don't have it.

Today the instruction emulator can get called via 2 separate code paths. It

This is bad, as both code paths prepare the environment differently. For MMIO

With Book3S KVM we can create both PR and HV VMs in parallel on the same

When we get asked about CAPs on the kvm fd, there's nothing we can do. We

otherwise. However with the newly added VM CHECK_EXTENSION we can now ask

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
to a SPR.

The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
- starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
  - 32kb for L2
  - 128kb for L2+L3
  - Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
- Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)

We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.

To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
- starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
- table size (no data, until end of table)
- prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
  32 cycles)

The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
a physical CPU.

The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
so we just generate needless memory operations.

This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
to be useful.

Benchmark 1:
 - 16 core POWER8
 - 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
 - No split core/SMT
 - two guests running sysbench memory test.
   sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
 - one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
   ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/

This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.

In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.

benchmark 2:
 - Same VM config as benchmark 1
 - all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark

This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
many times for cachelines to be pulled in)

The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.

benchmark 3:
 - same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
 - two idle guests
 - 1 guest running STREAM benchmark

This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).

benchmark 4:
 - same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
 - two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
   workload
 - one guest running STREAM benchmark.

Similar improvements to benchmark 3.

benchmark 5:
 - 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04
 - Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4)
 - STREAM benchmark

In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board
of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

At present, kvmppc_ld calls kvmppc_xlate, and if kvmppc_xlate returns
any error indication, it returns -ENOENT, which is taken to mean an
HPTE not found error.  However, the error could have been a segment
found (no SLB entry) or a permission error.  Similarly,
kvmppc_pte_to_hva currently does permission checking, but any error
from it is taken by kvmppc_ld to mean that the access is an emulated
MMIO access.  Also, kvmppc_ld does no execute permission checking.

This fixes these problems by (a) returning any error from kvmppc_xlate
directly, (b) moving the permission check from kvmppc_pte_to_hva
into kvmppc_ld, and (c) adding an execute permission check to kvmppc_ld.

This is similar to what was done for kvmppc_st() by commit 82ff911317c3

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
one_reg interface.  This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
upper 32 bits.  The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
reduces performance in the guest.

We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
since that would break existing userspace binaries.  Instead we define
a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit.  Userspace can still use
the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
as well.

On book3e, KVM uses load external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction to read
guest last instruction on the exit path. lwepx exceptions (DTLB_MISS, DSI
and LRAT), generated by loading a guest address, needs to be handled by KVM.
These exceptions are generated in a substituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1) from host context (MSR[GS] = 0).

Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context (MSR[GS] = 1),
doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host performance degradation.
lwepx exceptions originate from host state (MSR[GS] = 0) which implies
additional checks in DO_KVM macro (beside the current MSR[GS] = 1) by looking
at the Exception Syndrome Register (ESR[EPID]) and the External PID Load Context
Register (EPLC[EGS]). Doing this on each Data TLB miss exception is obvious
too intrusive for the host.

Read guest last instruction from kvmppc_load_last_inst() by searching for the
physical address and kmap it. This address the TODO for TLB eviction and
execute-but-not-read entries, and allow us to get rid of lwepx until we are
able to handle failures.

A simple stress benchmark shows a 1% sys performance degradation compared with
previous approach (lwepx without failure handling):

time for i in `seq 1 10000`; do /bin/echo > /dev/null; done

real    0m 8.85s
user    0m 4.34s
sys     0m 4.48s

vs

real    0m 8.84s
user    0m 4.36s
sys     0m 4.44s

A solution to use lwepx and to handle its exceptions in KVM would be to temporary
highjack the interrupt vector from host. This imposes additional synchronizations
for cores like FSL e6500 that shares host IVOR registers between hardware threads.
This optimized solution can be later developed on top of this patch.

In the context of replacing kvmppc_ld() function calls with a version of

No need to inject an ISI into  the guest - it'll do that all by itself.
With an error returning kvmppc_get_last_inst we can just use completely
get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_get_last_inst() instead."

As a intermediate step get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_ld()

The commit 1d628af7 "add load inst fixup" made an attempt to handle
failures generated by reading the guest current instruction. The fixup
code that was added works by chance hiding the real issue.

Load external pid (lwepx) instruction, used by KVM to read guest
instructions, is executed in a subsituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1). In consequence lwepx's TLB error and data storage
interrupts need to be handled by KVM, even though these interrupts
are generated from host context (MSR[GS] = 0) where lwepx is executed.

Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context
(MSR[GS] = 1), doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host
performance degradation. As a result, the host kernel handles lwepx
faults searching the faulting guest data address (loaded in DEAR) in
its own Logical Partition ID (LPID) 0 context. In case a host translation
is found the execution returns to the lwepx instruction instead of the
fixup, the host ending up in an infinite loop.

Revert the commit "add load inst fixup". lwepx issue will be addressed
in a subsequent patch without needing fixup code.

The magic page is defined as a 4k page of per-vCPU data that is shared
between the guest and the host to accelerate accesses to privileged
registers.

However, when the host is using 64k page size granularity we weren't quite
as strict about that rule anymore. Instead, we partially treated all of the
upper 64k as magic page and mapped only the uppermost 4k with the actual
magic contents.

This works well enough for Linux which doesn't use any memory in kernel
space in the upper 64k, but Mac OS X got upset. So this patch makes magic
page actually stay in a 4k range even on 64k page size hosts.

Today we handle split real mode by mapping both instruction and data faults
into a special virtual address space that only exists during the split mode
phase.

This is good enough to catch 32bit Linux guests that use split real mode for
copy_from/to_user. In this case we're always prefixed with 0xc0000000 for our
instruction pointer and can map the user space process freely below there.

However, that approach fails when we're running KVM inside of KVM. Here the 1st
level last_inst reader may well be in the same virtual page as a 2nd level
interrupt handler.

It also fails when running Mac OS X guests. Here we have a 4G/4G split, so a
kernel copy_from/to_user implementation can easily overlap with user space
addresses.

The architecturally correct way to fix this would be to implement an instruction
interpreter in KVM that kicks in whenever we go into split real mode. This
interpreter however would not receive a great amount of testing and be a lot of
bloat for a reasonably isolated corner case.

So I went back to the drawing board and tried to come up with a way to make
split real mode work with a single flat address space. And then I realized that
we could get away with the same trick that makes it work for Linux:

Whenever we see an instruction address during split real mode that may collide,
we just move it higher up the virtual address space to a place that hopefully
does not collide (keep your fingers crossed!).

That approach does work surprisingly well. I am able to successfully run
Mac OS X guests with KVM and QEMU (no split real mode hacks like MOL) when I
apply a tiny timing probe hack to QEMU. I'd say this is a win over even more
broken split real mode :).
