KVM on 440 has always been able to handle large guest mappings with 4K host pages -- we must, since the guest kernel uses 256MB mappings. This patch makes KVM work when the host has large pages too (tested with 64K). Signed-off-by: NHollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We used to defer invalidating userspace TLB entries until jumping out of the kernel. This was causing MMU weirdness most easily triggered by using a pipe in the guest, e.g. "dmesg | tail". I believe the problem was that after the guest kernel changed the PID (part of context switch), the old process's mappings were still present, and so copy_to_user() on the "return to new process" path ended up using stale mappings. Testing with large pages (64K) exposed the problem, probably because with 4K pages, pressure on the TLB faulted all process A's mappings out before the guest kernel could insert any for process B.

Bare metal Linux on 440 can "overmap" RAM in the kernel linear map, so that it can use large (256MB) mappings even if memory isn't a multiple of 256MB. To prevent the hardware prefetcher from loading from an invalid physical address through that mapping, it's marked Guarded. However, KVM must ensure that all guest mappings are backed by real physical RAM (since a deliberate access through a guarded mapping could still cause a machine check). Accordingly, we don't need to make our mappings guarded, so let's allow prefetching as the designers intended. Curiously this patch didn't affect performance at all on the quick test I tried, but it's clearly the right thing to do anyways and may improve other workloads.

In kvmppc_deliver_interrupt is just one case left in the switch and it is a rare one (less than 8%) when looking at the exit numbers. Therefore we can at least drop the switch/case and if an if. I inserted an unlikely too, but that's open for discussion. In kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt all frequent cases are in the default case. I know compilers are smart but we can make it easier for them. By writing down all options and removing the default case combined with the fact that ithe values are constants 0..15 should allow the compiler to write an easy jump table. Modifying kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt pointed me to the fact that gcc seems to be unable to reduce priority_exception[x] to a build time constant. Therefore I changed the usage of the translation arrays in the interrupt delivery path completely. It is now using priority without translation to irq on the full irq delivery path. To be able to do that ivpr regs are stored by their priority now. Additionally the decision made in kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt is already sufficient to get the value of interrupt_msr_mask[x]. Therefore we can replace the 16x4byte array used here with a single 4byte variable (might still be one miss, but the chance to find this in cache should be better than the right entry of the whole array).

Currently we use an unnecessary if&switch to detect some cases. To be honest we don't need the ligh_exits counter anyway, because we can calculate it out of others. Sum_exits can also be calculated, so we can remove that too. MMIO, DCR and INTR can be counted on other places without these additional control structures (The INTR case was never hit anyway). The handling of BOOKE_INTERRUPT_EXTERNAL/BOOKE_INTERRUPT_DECREMENTER is similar, but we can avoid the additional if when copying 3 lines of code. I thought about a goto there to prevent duplicate lines, but rewriting three lines should be better style than a goto cross switch/case statements (its also not enough code to justify a new inline function).

When changing some msr bits e.g. problem state we need to take special care of that. We call the function in our mtmsr emulation (not needed for wrtee[i]), but we don't call kvmppc_set_msr if we change msr via set_regs ioctl. It's a corner case we never hit so far, but I assume it should be kvmppc_set_msr in our arch set regs function (I found it because it is also a corner case when using pv support which would miss the update otherwise).

Cores provide 3 emulation hooks, implemented for example in the new 4xx_emulate.c: kvmppc_core_emulate_op kvmppc_core_emulate_mtspr kvmppc_core_emulate_mfspr Strictly speaking the last two aren't necessary, but provide for more informative error reporting ("unknown SPR"). Long term I'd like to have instruction decoding autogenerated from tables of opcodes, and that way we could aggregate universal, Book E, and core-specific instructions more easily and without redundant switch statements.

This is used in a couple places in KVM, but isn't KVM-specific. However, this patch doesn't modify other in-kernel emulation code: - xmon uses a direct copy of ppc_opc.c from binutils - emulate_instruction() doesn't need it because it can use a series of mask tests.

This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c. Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function pointers would only add overhead.

Currently, the various forms of low level TLB invalidations are all implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used. This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S. I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into mm/mmu_decl.h The code should have no functional changes. I kept some variants inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace. The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time performance improvement: about 30%.

We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it. Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host process (i.e. not qemu). Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves guest boot time by about 15%.
