This adds in-kernel emulation of the XICS (eXternal Interrupt Controller Specification) interrupt controller specified by PAPR, for both HV and PR KVM guests. The XICS emulation supports up to 1048560 interrupt sources. Interrupt source numbers below 16 are reserved; 0 is used to mean no interrupt and 2 is used for IPIs. Internally these are represented in blocks of 1024, called ICS (interrupt controller source) entities, but that is not visible to userspace. Each vcpu gets one ICP (interrupt controller presentation) entity, used to store the per-vcpu state such as vcpu priority, pending interrupt state, IPI request, etc. This does not include any API or any way to connect vcpus to their ICP state; that will be added in later patches. This is based on an initial implementation by Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> reworked by Benjamin Herrenschmidt and Paul Mackerras.

For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS calls in the kernel itself. This adds an infrastructure to allow in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name. A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to associate token values with those service names. Then, when the guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being passed up to userspace as at present.

At present, the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl doesn't report modifications done by the host to the virtual processor areas (VPAs) and dispatch trace logs (DTLs) registered by the guest. This is because those modifications are done either in real mode or in the host kernel context, and in neither case does the access go through the guest's HPT, and thus no change (C) bit gets set in the guest's HPT. However, the changes done by the host do need to be tracked so that the modified pages get transferred when doing live migration. In order to track these modifications, this adds a dirty flag to the struct representing the VPA/DTL areas, and arranges to set the flag when the VPA/DTL gets modified by the host. Then, when we are collecting the dirty log, we also check the dirty flags for the VPA and DTL for each vcpu and set the relevant bit in the dirty log if necessary. Doing this also means we now need to keep track of the guest physical address of the VPA/DTL areas. So as not to lose track of modifications to a VPA/DTL area when it gets unregistered, or when a new area gets registered in its place, we need to transfer the dirty state to the rmap chain. This adds code to kvmppc_unpin_guest_page() to do that if the area was dirty. To simplify that code, we now require that all VPA, DTL and SLB shadow buffer areas fit within a single host page. Guests already comply with this requirement because pHyp requires that these areas not cross a 4k boundary.

Currently, if a machine check interrupt happens while we are in the guest, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler, which tends to cause the host to panic. Some machine checks can be triggered by the guest; for example, if the guest creates two entries in the SLB that map the same effective address, and then accesses that effective address, the CPU will take a machine check interrupt. To handle this better, when a machine check happens inside the guest, we call a new function, kvmppc_realmode_machine_check(), while still in real mode before exiting the guest. On POWER7, it handles the cases that the guest can trigger, either by flushing and reloading the SLB, or by flushing the TLB, and then it delivers the machine check interrupt directly to the guest without going back to the host. On POWER7, the OPAL firmware patches the machine check interrupt vector so that it gets control first, and it leaves behind its analysis of the situation in a structure pointed to by the opal_mc_evt field of the paca. The kvmppc_realmode_machine_check() function looks at this, and if OPAL reports that there was no error, or that it has handled the error, we also go straight back to the guest with a machine check. We have to deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1. If the machine check is one we can't handle in real mode, and one that OPAL hasn't already handled, or on PPC970, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler. We do this by jumping to the machine_check_fwnmi label, rather than absolute address 0x200, because we don't want to re-execute OPAL's handler on POWER7. On PPC970, the two are equivalent because address 0x200 just contains a branch. Then, if the host machine check handler decides that the system can continue executing, kvmppc_handle_exit() delivers a machine check interrupt to the guest -- once again to let the guest know that SRR0/1 have been modified.

When we change or remove a HPT (hashed page table) entry, we can do either a global TLB invalidation (tlbie) that works across the whole machine, or a local invalidation (tlbiel) that only affects this core. Currently we do local invalidations if the VM has only one vcpu or if the guest requests it with the H_LOCAL flag, though the guest Linux kernel currently doesn't ever use H_LOCAL. Then, to cope with the possibility that vcpus moving around to different physical cores might expose stale TLB entries, there is some code in kvmppc_hv_entry to flush the whole TLB of entries for this VM if either this vcpu is now running on a different physical core from where it last ran, or if this physical core last ran a different vcpu. There are a number of problems on POWER7 with this as it stands: - The TLB invalidation is done per thread, whereas it only needs to be done per core, since the TLB is shared between the threads. - With the possibility of the host paging out guest pages, the use of H_LOCAL by an SMP guest is dangerous since the guest could possibly retain and use a stale TLB entry pointing to a page that had been removed from the guest. - The TLB invalidations that we do when a vcpu moves from one physical core to another are unnecessary in the case of an SMP guest that isn't using H_LOCAL. - The optimization of using local invalidations rather than global should apply to guests with one virtual core, not just one vcpu. (None of this applies on PPC970, since there we always have to invalidate the whole TLB when entering and leaving the guest, and we can't support paging out guest memory.) To fix these problems and simplify the code, we now maintain a simple cpumask of which cpus need to flush the TLB on entry to the guest. (This is indexed by cpu, though we only ever use the bits for thread 0 of each core.) Whenever we do a local TLB invalidation, we set the bits for every cpu except the bit for thread 0 of the core that we're currently running on. Whenever we enter a guest, we test and clear the bit for our core, and flush the TLB if it was set. On initial startup of the VM, and when resetting the HPT, we set all the bits in the need_tlb_flush cpumask, since any core could potentially have stale TLB entries from the previous VM to use the same LPID, or the previous contents of the HPT. Then, we maintain a count of the number of online virtual cores, and use that when deciding whether to use a local invalidation rather than the number of online vcpus. The code to make that decision is extracted out into a new function, global_invalidates(). For multi-core guests on POWER7 (i.e. when we are using mmu notifiers), we now never do local invalidations regardless of the H_LOCAL flag.

A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD, returns a file descriptor. Reads on this fd return the contents of the HPT (hashed page table), writes create and/or remove entries in the HPT. There is a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTAB_FD, to indicate the presence of the ioctl. The ioctl takes an argument structure with the index of the first HPT entry to read out and a set of flags. The flags indicate whether the user is intending to read or write the HPT, and whether to return all entries or only the "bolted" entries (those with the bolted bit, 0x10, set in the first doubleword). This is intended for use in implementing qemu's savevm/loadvm and for live migration. Therefore, on reads, the first pass returns information about all HPTEs (or all bolted HPTEs). When the first pass reaches the end of the HPT, it returns from the read. Subsequent reads only return information about HPTEs that have changed since they were last read. A read that finds no changed HPTEs in the HPT following where the last read finished will return 0 bytes. The format of the data provides a simple run-length compression of the invalid entries. Each block of data starts with a header that indicates the index (position in the HPT, which is just an array), the number of valid entries starting at that index (may be zero), and the number of invalid entries following those valid entries. The valid entries, 16 bytes each, follow the header. The invalid entries are not explicitly represented.

Commit 55b665b0 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a way for userspace to get/set per-vCPU areas") includes a check on the length of the dispatch trace log (DTL) to make sure the buffer is at least one entry long. This is appropriate when registering a buffer, but the interface also allows for any existing buffer to be unregistered by specifying a zero address. In this case the length check is not appropriate. This makes the check conditional on the address being non-zero. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Currently the code that accounts stolen time tends to overestimate the stolen time, and will sometimes report more stolen time in a DTL (dispatch trace log) entry than has elapsed since the last DTL entry. This can cause guests to underflow the user or system time measured for some tasks, leading to ridiculous CPU percentages and total runtimes being reported by top and other utilities. In addition, the current code was designed for the previous policy where a vcore would only run when all the vcpus in it were runnable, and so only counted stolen time on a per-vcore basis. Now that a vcore can run while some of the vcpus in it are doing other things in the kernel (e.g. handling a page fault), we need to count the time when a vcpu task is preempted while it is not running as part of a vcore as stolen also. To do this, we bring back the BUSY_IN_HOST vcpu state and extend the vcpu_load/put functions to count preemption time while the vcpu is in that state. Handling the transitions between the RUNNING and BUSY_IN_HOST states requires checking and updating two variables (accumulated time stolen and time last preempted), so we add a new spinlock, vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock. This protects both the per-vcpu stolen/preempt-time variables, and the per-vcore variables while this vcpu is running the vcore. Finally, we now don't count time spent in userspace as stolen time. The task could be executing in userspace on behalf of the vcpu, or it could be preempted, or the vcpu could be genuinely stopped. Since we have no way of dividing up the time between these cases, we don't count any of it as stolen. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Currently the Book3S HV code implements a policy on multi-threaded processors (i.e. POWER7) that requires all of the active vcpus in a virtual core to be ready to run before we run the virtual core. However, that causes problems on reset, because reset stops all vcpus except vcpu 0, and can also reduce throughput since all four threads in a virtual core have to wait whenever any one of them hits a hypervisor page fault. This relaxes the policy, allowing the virtual core to run as soon as any vcpu in it is runnable. With this, the KVMPPC_VCPU_STOPPED state and the KVMPPC_VCPU_BUSY_IN_HOST state have been combined into a single KVMPPC_VCPU_NOTREADY state, since we no longer need to distinguish between them.

If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without first pulling them all out of the guest. Currently this only happens rarely, when a vcpu is first started. This fixes some bugs and omissions in the code in this case. First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make a DTL entry for it. Secondly, if it comes along while the master vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core. To handle this correctly we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING. Thirdly, there is a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req before waiting to see it get to nap. A latecomer thread could have its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap timeouts.

There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding the vcore spinlock. This extends the places where we hold the vcore spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list. Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault, this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock. In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the caller has already done that. The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that. The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or EXITING.

Subsequent patches implementing in-kernel XICS emulation will make it possible for IPIs to arrive at secondary threads at arbitrary times. This fixes some races in how we start the secondary threads, which if not fixed could lead to occasional crashes of the host kernel. This makes sure that (a) we have grabbed all the secondary threads, and verified that they are no longer in the kernel, before we start any thread, (b) that the secondary thread loads its vcpu pointer after clearing the IPI that woke it up (so we don't miss a wakeup), and (c) that the secondary thread clears its vcpu pointer before incrementing the nap count. It also removes unnecessary setting of the vcpu and vcore pointers in the paca in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load.

When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one active hardware thread. This is because of the hardware restriction in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core must be in the same logical partition. Complying with this restriction is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one hardware thread is active. This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists. The KVM code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

The PAPR paravirtualization interface lets guests register three different types of per-vCPU buffer areas in its memory for communication with the hypervisor. These are called virtual processor areas (VPAs). Currently the hypercalls to register and unregister VPAs are handled by KVM in the kernel, and userspace has no way to know about or save and restore these registrations across a migration. This adds "register" codes for these three areas that userspace can use with the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG ioctls to see what addresses have been registered, and to register or unregister them. This will be needed for guest hibernation and migration, and is also needed so that userspace can unregister them on reset (otherwise we corrupt guest memory after reboot by writing to the VPAs registered by the previous kernel). The "register" for the VPA is a 64-bit value containing the address, since the length of the VPA is fixed. The "registers" for the SLB shadow buffer and dispatch trace log (DTL) are 128 bits long, consisting of the guest physical address in the high (first) 64 bits and the length in the low 64 bits. This also fixes a bug where we were calling init_vpa unconditionally, leading to an oops when unregistering the VPA.

This enables userspace to get and set all the guest floating-point state using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. The floating-point state includes all of the traditional floating-point registers and the FPSCR (floating point status/control register), all the VMX/Altivec vector registers and the VSCR (vector status/control register), and on POWER7, the vector-scalar registers (note that each FP register is the high-order half of the corresponding VSR). Most of these are implemented in common Book 3S code, except for VSX on POWER7. Because HV and PR differ in how they store the FP and VSX registers on POWER7, the code for these cases is not common. On POWER7, the FP registers are the upper halves of the VSX registers vsr0 - vsr31. PR KVM stores vsr0 - vsr31 in two halves, with the upper halves in the arch.fpr[] array and the lower halves in the arch.vsr[] array, whereas HV KVM on POWER7 stores the whole VSX register in arch.vsr[].

We flush the dirty log in kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region for consistency with what x86 does.

Now that we have an architecture-specific field in the kvm_memory_slot structure, we can use it to store the array of page physical addresses that we need for Book3S HV KVM on PPC970 processors. This reduces the size of struct kvm_arch for Book3S HV, and also reduces the size of struct kvm_arch_memory_slot for other PPC KVM variants since the fields in it are now only compiled in for Book3S HV. This necessitates making the kvm_arch_create_memslot and kvm_arch_free_memslot operations specific to each PPC KVM variant. That in turn means that we now don't allocate the rmap arrays on Book3S PR and Book E. Since we now unpin pages and free the slot_phys array in kvmppc_core_free_memslot, we no longer need to do it in kvmppc_core_destroy_vm, since the generic code takes care to free all the memslots when destroying a VM.

The generic KVM code uses SRCU (sleeping RCU) to protect accesses to the memslots data structures against updates due to userspace adding, modifying or removing memory slots. We need to do that too, both to avoid accessing stale copies of the memslots and to avoid lockdep warnings. This therefore adds srcu_read_lock/unlock pairs around code that accesses and uses memslots. Since the real-mode handlers for H_ENTER, H_REMOVE and H_BULK_REMOVE need to access the memslots, and we don't want to call the SRCU code in real mode (since we have no assurance that it would only access the linear mapping), we hold the SRCU read lock for the VM while in the guest. This does mean that adding or removing memory slots while some vcpus are executing in the guest will block for up to two jiffies. This tradeoff is acceptable since adding/removing memory slots only happens rarely, while H_ENTER/H_REMOVE/H_BULK_REMOVE are performance-critical hot paths.

At the moment we call kvmppc_pin_guest_page() in kvmppc_update_vpa() with two spinlocks held: the vcore lock and the vcpu->vpa_update_lock.

This bug was introduced in 2e25aa5f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make virtual processor area registration more robust"). This arranges to drop those spinlocks before calling kvmppc_pin_guest_page() and re-take them afterwards. Dropping the vcore lock in kvmppc_run_core() means we have to set the vcore_state field to VCORE_RUNNING before we drop the lock, so that other vcpus won't try to run this vcore.

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).

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>

There is nothing in the code for emulating TCE tables in the kernel that prevents it from working on "PR" KVM... other than ifdef's and location of the code.

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.

This moves the get/set_one_reg implementation down from powerpc.c into booke.c, book3s_pr.c and book3s_hv.c. This avoids #ifdefs in C code, but more importantly, it fixes a bug on Book3s HV where we were accessing beyond the end of the kvm_vcpu struct (via the to_book3s() macro) and corrupting memory, causing random crashes and file corruption. On Book3s HV we only accept setting the HIOR to zero, since the guest runs in supervisor mode and its vectors are never offset from zero.

This changes the implementation of kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() for Book3s HV guests to use the hardware C (changed) bits in the guest hashed page table. Since this makes the implementation quite different from the Book3s PR case, this moves the existing implementation from book3s.c to book3s_pr.c and creates a new implementation in book3s_hv.c. That implementation calls kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() to do the actual work by calling kvm_test_clear_dirty on each page. It iterates over the HPTEs, clearing the C bit if set, and returns 1 if any C bit was set (including the saved C bit in the rmap entry).

This adds the infrastructure to enable us to page out pages underneath a Book3S HV guest, on processors that support virtualized partition memory, that is, POWER7. Instead of pinning all the guest's pages, we now look in the host userspace Linux page tables to find the mapping for a given guest page. Then, if the userspace Linux PTE gets invalidated, kvm_unmap_hva() gets called for that address, and we replace all the guest HPTEs that refer to that page with absent HPTEs, i.e. ones with the valid bit clear and the HPTE_V_ABSENT bit set, which will cause an HDSI when the guest tries to access them. Finally, the page fault handler is extended to reinstantiate the guest HPTE when the guest tries to access a page which has been paged out. Since we can't intercept the guest DSI and ISI interrupts on PPC970, we still have to pin all the guest pages on PPC970. We have a new flag, kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers, that indicates whether we can page guest pages out. If it is not set, the MMU notifier callbacks do nothing and everything operates as before.

This provides the low-level support for MMIO emulation in Book3S HV guests. When the guest tries to map a page which is not covered by any memslot, that page is taken to be an MMIO emulation page. Instead of inserting a valid HPTE, we insert an HPTE that has the valid bit clear but another hypervisor software-use bit set, which we call HPTE_V_ABSENT, to indicate that this is an absent page. An absent page is treated much like a valid page as far as guest hcalls (H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ etc.) are concerned, except of course that an absent HPTE doesn't need to be invalidated with tlbie since it was never valid as far as the hardware is concerned. When the guest accesses a page for which there is an absent HPTE, it will take a hypervisor data storage interrupt (HDSI) since we now set the VPM1 bit in the LPCR. Our HDSI handler for HPTE-not-present faults looks up the hash table and if it finds an absent HPTE mapping the requested virtual address, will switch to kernel mode and handle the fault in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault(), which at present just calls kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio() to set up the MMIO emulation. This is based on an earlier patch by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, but since heavily reworked.
