This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and maximum time spent in those parts of the code. Currently these times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code: * rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until just before entering the guest. * rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the host. This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode. * rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the return from kvmppc_hv_entry(). * guest - time spend in the guest * cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall while other threads in the same vcore are active. These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that contains a file called "timings". This file contains one line for each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and 4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time, all in nanoseconds. The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%. Since production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new code is conditional on a new config symbol, CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be read. The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the process that created the guest. The file is named "htab". This is intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management of guest memory. The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this: 3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196 The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set. The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the entry, so it contains the guest physical address. (The format of the second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also in arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h.)

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.

The VPA (virtual processor area) is defined by PAPR and is therefore big-endian, so we need a be32_to_cpu when reading it in kvmppc_get_yield_count(). Without this, H_CONFER always fails on a little-endian host, causing SMP guests to waste time spinning on spinlocks.

Currently, kvmppc_set_lpcr() has a spinlock around the whole function, and inside that does mutex_lock(&kvm->lock). It is not permitted to take a mutex while holding a spinlock, because the mutex_lock might call schedule().

Currently the H_CONFER hcall is implemented in kernel virtual mode, meaning that whenever a guest thread does an H_CONFER, all the threads in that virtual core have to exit the guest. This is bad for performance because it interrupts the other threads even if they are doing useful work. The H_CONFER hcall is called by a guest VCPU when it is spinning on a spinlock and it detects that the spinlock is held by a guest VCPU that is currently not running on a physical CPU. The idea is to give this VCPU's time slice to the holder VCPU so that it can make progress towards releasing the lock. To avoid having the other threads exit the guest unnecessarily, we add a real-mode implementation of H_CONFER that checks whether the other threads are doing anything. If all the other threads are idle (i.e. in H_CEDE) or trying to confer (i.e. in H_CONFER), it returns H_TOO_HARD which causes a guest exit and allows the H_CONFER to be handled in virtual mode. Otherwise it spins for a short time (up to 10 microseconds) to give other threads the chance to observe that this thread is trying to confer. The spin loop also terminates when any thread exits the guest or when all other threads are idle or trying to confer. If the timeout is reached, the H_CONFER returns H_SUCCESS. In this case the guest VCPU will recheck the spinlock word and most likely call H_CONFER again. This also improves the implementation of the H_CONFER virtual mode handler. If the VCPU is part of a virtual core (vcore) which is runnable, there will be a 'runner' VCPU which has taken responsibility for running the vcore. In this case we yield to the runner VCPU rather than the target VCPU. We also introduce a check on the target VCPU's yield count: if it differs from the yield count passed to H_CONFER, the target VCPU has run since H_CONFER was called and may have already released the lock. This check is required by PAPR. Signed-off-by: NSam Bobroff <sam.bobroff@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S. If the exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register (Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register). If the exit was caused by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction with an lwz instruction. Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst. The HEIR value has been loaded using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using host endianness. The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst assumes it was loaded using host endianness. To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value. Then, in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness differ.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work on PPC970 processors. The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't support virtualizing guest memory. Removing PPC970 support also lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode. Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors. The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.

Currently the calculations of stolen time for PPC Book3S HV guests uses fields in both the vcpu struct and the kvmppc_vcore struct. The fields in the kvmppc_vcore struct are protected by the vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock of the vcpu that has taken responsibility for running the virtual core. This works correctly but confuses lockdep, because it sees that the code takes the tbacct_lock for a vcpu in kvmppc_remove_runnable() and then takes another vcpu's tbacct_lock in vcore_stolen_time(), and it thinks there is a possibility of deadlock, causing it to print reports like this: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 3.18.0-rc7-kvm-00016-g8db4bc6 #89 Not tainted --------------------------------------------- qemu-system-ppc/6188 is trying to acquire lock: (&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<d00000000ecb1fe8>] .vcore_stolen_time+0x48/0xd0 [kvm_hv] but task is already holding lock: (&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<d00000000ecb25a0>] .kvmppc_remove_runnable.part.3+0x30/0xd0 [kvm_hv] other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock); lock(&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 3 locks held by qemu-system-ppc/6188: #0: (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<d00000000eb93f98>] .vcpu_load+0x28/0xe0 [kvm] #1: (&(&vcore->lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<d00000000ecb41b0>] .kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv+0x530/0x1530 [kvm_hv] #2: (&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<d00000000ecb25a0>] .kvmppc_remove_runnable.part.3+0x30/0xd0 [kvm_hv] stack backtrace: CPU: 40 PID: 6188 Comm: qemu-system-ppc Not tainted 3.18.0-rc7-kvm-00016-g8db4bc6 #89 Call Trace: [c000000b2754f3f0] [c000000000b31b6c] .dump_stack+0x88/0xb4 (unreliable) [c000000b2754f470] [c0000000000faeb8] .__lock_acquire+0x1878/0x2190 [c000000b2754f600] [c0000000000fbf0c] .lock_acquire+0xcc/0x1a0 [c000000b2754f6d0] [c000000000b2954c] ._raw_spin_lock_irq+0x4c/0x70 [c000000b2754f760] [d00000000ecb1fe8] .vcore_stolen_time+0x48/0xd0 [kvm_hv] [c000000b2754f7f0] [d00000000ecb25b4] .kvmppc_remove_runnable.part.3+0x44/0xd0 [kvm_hv] [c000000b2754f880] [d00000000ecb43ec] .kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv+0x76c/0x1530 [kvm_hv] [c000000b2754f9f0] [d00000000eb9f46c] .kvmppc_vcpu_run+0x2c/0x40 [kvm] [c000000b2754fa60] [d00000000eb9c9a4] .kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x54/0x160 [kvm] [c000000b2754faf0] [d00000000eb94538] .kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x498/0x760 [kvm] [c000000b2754fcb0] [c000000000267eb4] .do_vfs_ioctl+0x444/0x770 [c000000b2754fd90] [c0000000002682a4] .SyS_ioctl+0xc4/0xe0 [c000000b2754fe30] [c0000000000092e4] syscall_exit+0x0/0x98 In order to make the locking easier to analyse, we change the code to use a spinlock in the kvmppc_vcore struct to protect the stolen_tb and preempt_tb fields.

When we get an HMI (hypervisor maintenance interrupt) while in a guest, we see that guest enters into paused state. The reason is, in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv it falls through default path and returns to host instead of resuming guest. This causes guest to enter into paused state. HMI is a hypervisor only interrupt and it is safe to resume the guest since the host has handled it already. This patch adds a switch case to resume the guest. Without this patch we see guest entering into paused state with following console messages: [ 3003.329351] Severe Hypervisor Maintenance interrupt [Recovered] [ 3003.329356] Error detail: Timer facility experienced an error [ 3003.329359] HMER: 0840000000000000 [ 3003.329360] TFMR: 4a12000980a84000 [ 3003.329366] vcpu c0000007c35094c0 (40): [ 3003.329368] pc = c0000000000c2ba0 msr = 8000000000009032 trap = e60 [ 3003.329370] r 0 = c00000000021ddc0 r16 = 0000000000000046 [ 3003.329372] r 1 = c00000007a02bbd0 r17 = 00003ffff27d5d98 [ 3003.329375] r 2 = c0000000010980b8 r18 = 00001fffffc9a0b0 [ 3003.329377] r 3 = c00000000142d6b8 r19 = c00000000142d6b8 [ 3003.329379] r 4 = 0000000000000002 r20 = 0000000000000000 [ 3003.329381] r 5 = c00000000524a110 r21 = 0000000000000000 [ 3003.329383] r 6 = 0000000000000001 r22 = 0000000000000000 [ 3003.329386] r 7 = 0000000000000000 r23 = c00000000524a110 [ 3003.329388] r 8 = 0000000000000000 r24 = 0000000000000001 [ 3003.329391] r 9 = 0000000000000001 r25 = c00000007c31da38 [ 3003.329393] r10 = c0000000014280b8 r26 = 0000000000000002 [ 3003.329395] r11 = 746f6f6c2f68656c r27 = c00000000524a110 [ 3003.329397] r12 = 0000000028004484 r28 = c00000007c31da38 [ 3003.329399] r13 = c00000000fe01400 r29 = 0000000000000002 [ 3003.329401] r14 = 0000000000000046 r30 = c000000003011e00 [ 3003.329403] r15 = ffffffffffffffba r31 = 0000000000000002 [ 3003.329404] ctr = c00000000041a670 lr = c000000000272520 [ 3003.329405] srr0 = c00000000007e8d8 srr1 = 9000000000001002 [ 3003.329406] sprg0 = 0000000000000000 sprg1 = c00000000fe01400 [ 3003.329407] sprg2 = c00000000fe01400 sprg3 = 0000000000000005 [ 3003.329408] cr = 48004482 xer = 2000000000000000 dsisr = 42000000 [ 3003.329409] dar = 0000010015020048 [ 3003.329410] fault dar = 0000010015020048 dsisr = 42000000 [ 3003.329411] SLB (8 entries): [ 3003.329412] ESID = c000000008000000 VSID = 40016e7779000510 [ 3003.329413] ESID = d000000008000001 VSID = 400142add1000510 [ 3003.329414] ESID = f000000008000004 VSID = 4000eb1a81000510 [ 3003.329415] ESID = 00001f000800000b VSID = 40004fda0a000d90 [ 3003.329416] ESID = 00003f000800000c VSID = 400039f536000d90 [ 3003.329417] ESID = 000000001800000d VSID = 0001251b35150d90 [ 3003.329417] ESID = 000001000800000e VSID = 4001e46090000d90 [ 3003.329418] ESID = d000080008000019 VSID = 40013d349c000400 [ 3003.329419] lpcr = c048800001847001 sdr1 = 0000001b19000006 last_inst = ffffffff [ 3003.329421] trap=0xe60 | pc=0xc0000000000c2ba0 | msr=0x8000000000009032 [ 3003.329524] Severe Hypervisor Maintenance interrupt [Recovered] [ 3003.329526] Error detail: Timer facility experienced an error [ 3003.329527] HMER: 0840000000000000 [ 3003.329527] TFMR: 4a12000980a94000 [ 3006.359786] Severe Hypervisor Maintenance interrupt [Recovered] [ 3006.359792] Error detail: Timer facility experienced an error [ 3006.359795] HMER: 0840000000000000 [ 3006.359797] TFMR: 4a12000980a84000 Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 2 guest2 running 3 guest3 paused 4 guest4 running Signed-off-by: NMahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

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.

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.

This adds support for the H_SET_MODE hcall. This hcall is a multiplexer that has several functions, some of which are called rarely, and some which are potentially called very frequently. Here we add support for the functions that set the debug registers CIABR (Completed Instruction Address Breakpoint Register) and DAWR/DAWRX (Data Address Watchpoint Register and eXtension), since they could be updated by the guest as often as every context switch. This also adds a kvmppc_power8_compatible() function to test to see if a guest is compatible with POWER8 or not. The CIABR and DAWR/X only exist on POWER8.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers. Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM. The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM. The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM capability advertises that this ability exists. When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the default set without a good reason. No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall implementations; the one setting controls them both.

On recent IBM Power CPUs, while the hashed page table is looked up using the page size from the segmentation hardware (i.e. the SLB), it is possible to have the HPT entry indicate a larger page size. Thus for example it is possible to put a 16MB page in a 64kB segment, but since the hash lookup is done using a 64kB page size, it may be necessary to put multiple entries in the HPT for a single 16MB page. This capability is called mixed page-size segment (MPSS). With MPSS, there are two relevant page sizes: the base page size, which is the size used in searching the HPT, and the actual page size, which is the size indicated in the HPT entry. [ Note that the actual page size is always >= base page size ]. We use "ibm,segment-page-sizes" device tree node to advertise the MPSS support to PAPR guest. The penc encoding indicates whether we support a specific combination of base page size and actual page size in the same segment. We also use the penc value in the LP encoding of HPTE entry. This patch exposes MPSS support to KVM guest by advertising the feature via "ibm,segment-page-sizes". It also adds the necessary changes to decode the base page size and the actual page size correctly from the HPTE entry.

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce the number of exits we have to take to read/write them. When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with native endian load/store operations. Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv. For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest. For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline functions that evaluate this variable.

To support split core on POWER8 we need to modify various parts of the KVM code to use threads_per_subcore instead of threads_per_core. On systems that do not support split core threads_per_subcore == threads_per_core and these changes are a nop. We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT. This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split core mode. Although threads_per_subcore can change during the life of the system, the commit that enables that will ensure that threads_per_subcore does not change during the life of a KVM VM.

The logic to do that would be exactly the same as the code we currently have for inhibiting onlining of secondaries.

When the guest does an MMIO write which is handled successfully by an ioeventfd, ioeventfd_write() returns 0 (success) and kvmppc_handle_store() returns EMULATE_DONE. Then kvmppc_emulate_mmio() converts EMULATE_DONE to RESUME_GUEST_NV and this causes an exit from the loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), causing an exit back to userspace with a bogus exit reason code, typically causing userspace (e.g. qemu) to crash with a message about an unknown exit code. This adds handling of RESUME_GUEST_NV in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv() in order to fix that. For generality, we define a helper to check for either of the return-to-guest codes we use, RESUME_GUEST and RESUME_GUEST_NV, to make it easy to check for either and provide one place to update if any other return-to-guest code gets defined in future. Since it only affects Book3S HV for now, the helper is added to the kvm_book3s.h header file. We use the helper in two places in kvmppc_run_core() as well for future-proofing, though we don't see RESUME_GUEST_NV in either place at present.

It contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user, kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest. This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX. PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface. For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add "hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set DABRX_BTI. The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR. For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values on POWER8. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
