We use kvmppc_ld and kvmppc_st to emulate load/store instructions that may as well access the magic page. Special case it out so that we can properly access it. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries. This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail. Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the guest in case of failure. Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures. Signed-off-by: NMihai Caraman <mihai.caraman@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

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.

MMIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest and then emulates. If the guest is running in Little Endian order, or more generally in a different endian order of the host, the instruction needs to be byte-swapped before being emulated. This patch adds a helper routine which tests the endian order of the host and the guest in order to decide whether a byteswap is needed or not. It is then used to byteswap the last instruction of the guest in the endian order of the host before MMIO emulation is performed. Finally, kvmppc_handle_load() of kvmppc_handle_store() are modified to reverse the endianness of the MMIO if required.

"ehpriv 1" instruction is used for setting software breakpoints by user space. This patch adds support to exit to user space with "run->debug" have relevant information. As this is the first point we are using run->debug, also defined the run->debug structure. Signed-off-by: NBharat Bhushan <bharat.bhushan@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors, specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor architecture other than the one that the hardware implements. This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code to include/linux/kvm.h. Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support (i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only do one or the other. This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present. Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious restriction. With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry to those exception handlers. We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage, hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist interrupts, so we have to handle those. In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space. We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it. We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers, so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct. The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition (partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction. This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now, since huge pages can't be paged or swapped. This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

We already have some inline fuctions we use to access vcpu or svcpu structs, depending on whether we're on booke or book3s. Since we just put a few more registers into the svcpu, we also need to make sure the respective callbacks are available and get used. So this patch moves direct use of the now in the svcpu struct fields to inline function calls. While at it, it also moves the definition of those inline function calls to respective header files for booke and book3s, greatly improving readability.
