This works on top of the single escalation support. When in single escalation, with this change, we will keep the escalation interrupt disabled unless the VCPU is in H_CEDE (idle). In any other case, we know the VCPU will be rescheduled and thus there is no need to take escalation interrupts in the host whenever a guest interrupt fires.

The prodded flag is only cleared at the beginning of H_CEDE, so every time we have an escalation, we will cause the *next* H_CEDE to return immediately. Instead use a dedicated "irq_pending" flag to indicate that a guest interrupt is pending for the VCPU. We don't reuse the existing exception bitmap so as to avoid expensive atomic ops.

This patch allows for a mode on POWER9 hosts where we control all the threads of a core, much as we do on POWER8. The mode is controlled by a module parameter on the kvm_hv module, called "indep_threads_mode". The normal mode on POWER9 is the "independent threads" mode, with indep_threads_mode=Y, where the host is in SMT4 mode (or in fact any desired SMT mode) and each thread independently enters and exits from KVM guests without reference to what other threads in the core are doing. If indep_threads_mode is set to N at the point when a VM is started, KVM will expect every core that the guest runs on to be in single threaded mode (that is, threads 1, 2 and 3 offline), and will set the flag that prevents secondary threads from coming online. We can still use all four threads; the code that implements dynamic micro-threading on POWER8 will become active in over-commit situations and will allow up to three other VCPUs to be run on the secondary threads of the core whenever a VCPU is run. The reason for wanting this mode is that this will allow us to run HPT guests on a radix host on a POWER9 machine that does not support "mixed mode", that is, having some threads in a core be in HPT mode while other threads are in radix mode. It will also make it possible to implement a "strict threads" mode in future, if desired. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

Currently, the HPT code in HV KVM maintains a dirty bit per guest page in the rmap array, whether or not dirty page tracking has been enabled for the memory slot. In contrast, the radix code maintains a dirty bit per guest page in memslot->dirty_bitmap, and only does so when dirty page tracking has been enabled. This changes the HPT code to maintain the dirty bits in the memslot dirty_bitmap like radix does. This results in slightly less code overall, and will mean that we do not lose the dirty bits when transitioning between HPT and radix mode in future. There is one minor change to behaviour as a result. With HPT, when dirty tracking was enabled for a memslot, we would previously clear all the dirty bits at that point (both in the HPT entries and in the rmap arrays), meaning that a KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl immediately following would show no pages as dirty (assuming no vcpus have run in the meantime). With this change, the dirty bits on HPT entries are not cleared at the point where dirty tracking is enabled, so KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG would show as dirty any guest pages that are resident in the HPT and dirty. This is consistent with what happens on radix. This also fixes a bug in the mark_pages_dirty() function for radix (in the sense that the function no longer exists). In the case where a large page of 64 normal pages or more is marked dirty, the addressing of the dirty bitmap was incorrect and could write past the end of the bitmap. Fortunately this case was never hit in practice because a 2MB large page is only 32 x 64kB pages, and we don't support backing the guest with 1GB huge pages at this point.

This renames the kvm->arch.hpte_setup_done field to mmu_ready because we will want to use it for radix guests too -- both for setting things up before vcpu execution, and for excluding vcpus from executing while MMU-related things get changed, such as in future switching the MMU from radix to HPT mode or vice-versa. This also moves the call to kvmppc_setup_partition_table() that was done in kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma() for HPT guests, and the setting of mmu_ready, into the caller in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv().

Enhance KVM to cause a guest exit with KVM_EXIT_NMI exit reason upon a machine check exception (MCE) in the guest address space if the KVM_CAP_PPC_FWNMI capability is enabled (instead of delivering a 0x200 interrupt to guest). This enables QEMU to build error log and deliver machine check exception to guest via guest registered machine check handler. This approach simplifies the delivery of machine check exception to guest OS compared to the earlier approach of KVM directly invoking 0x200 guest interrupt vector. This design/approach is based on the feedback for the QEMU patches to handle machine check exception. Details of earlier approach of handling machine check exception in QEMU and related discussions can be found at: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-11/msg00813.html Note: This patch now directly invokes machine_check_print_event_info() from kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() to print the event to host console at the time of guest exit before the exception is passed on to the guest. Hence, the host-side handling which was performed earlier via machine_check_fwnmi is removed. The reasons for this approach is (i) it is not possible to distinguish whether the exception occurred in the guest or the host from the pt_regs passed on the machine_check_exception(). Hence machine_check_exception() calls panic, instead of passing on the exception to the guest, if the machine check exception is not recoverable. (ii) the approach introduced in this patch gives opportunity to the host kernel to perform actions in virtual mode before passing on the exception to the guest. This approach does not require complex tweaks to machine_check_fwnmi and friends.

This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests. If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit with the exit reason indicating an NMI. The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue "ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit type, it treats it as a fatal error. However, the guest could have handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old QEMU.

On POWER9, we no longer have the restriction that we had on POWER8 where all threads in a core have to be in the same partition, so the CPU threads are now independent. However, we still want to be able to run guests with a virtual SMT topology, if only to allow migration of guests from POWER8 systems to POWER9. A guest that has a virtual SMT mode greater than 1 will expect to be able to use the doorbell facility; it will expect the msgsndp and msgclrp instructions to work appropriately and to be able to read sensible values from the TIR (thread identification register) and DPDES (directed privileged doorbell exception status) special-purpose registers. However, since each CPU thread is a separate sub-processor in POWER9, these instructions and registers can only be used within a single CPU thread. In order for these instructions to appear to act correctly according to the guest's virtual SMT mode, we have to trap and emulate them. We cause them to trap by clearing the HFSCR_MSGP bit in the HFSCR register. The emulation is triggered by the hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt that occurs when the guest uses them. To cause a doorbell interrupt to occur within the guest, we set the DPDES register to 1. If the guest has interrupts enabled, the CPU will generate a doorbell interrupt and clear the DPDES register in hardware. The DPDES hardware register for the guest is saved in the vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field. Since this gets written by the guest exit code, other VCPUs wishing to cause a doorbell interrupt don't write that field directly, but instead set a vcpu->arch.doorbell_request flag. This is consumed and set to 0 by the guest entry code, which then sets DPDES to 1. Emulating reads of the DPDES register is somewhat involved, because it requires reading the doorbell pending interrupt status of all of the VCPU threads in the virtual core, and if any of those VCPUs are running, their doorbell status is only up-to-date in the hardware DPDES registers of the CPUs where they are running. In order to get a reasonable approximation of the current doorbell status, we send those CPUs an IPI, causing an exit from the guest which will update the vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes field. We then use that value in constructing the emulated DPDES register value. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This allows userspace to set the desired virtual SMT (simultaneous multithreading) mode for a VM, that is, the number of VCPUs that get assigned to each virtual core. Previously, the virtual SMT mode was fixed to the number of threads per subcore, and if userspace wanted to have fewer vcpus per vcore, then it would achieve that by using a sparse CPU numbering. This had the disadvantage that the vcpu numbers can get quite large, particularly for SMT1 guests on a POWER8 with 8 threads per core. With this patch, userspace can set its desired virtual SMT mode and then use contiguous vcpu numbering. On POWER8, where the threading mode is "strict", the virtual SMT mode must be less than or equal to the number of threads per subcore. On POWER9, which implements a "loose" threading mode, the virtual SMT mode can be any power of 2 between 1 and 8, even though there is effectively one thread per subcore, since the threads are independent and can all be in different partitions.

This adds code to allow us to use a different value for the HFSCR (Hypervisor Facilities Status and Control Register) when running the guest from that which applies in the host. The reason for doing this is to allow us to trap the msgsndp instruction and related operations in future so that they can be virtualized. We also save the value of HFSCR when a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt occurs, because the high byte of HFSCR indicates which facility the guest attempted to access. We save and restore the host value on guest entry/exit because some bits of it affect host userspace execution. We only do all this on POWER9, not on POWER8, because we are not intending to virtualize any of the facilities controlled by HFSCR on POWER8. In particular, the HFSCR bit that controls execution of msgsndp and related operations does not exist on POWER8. The HFSCR doesn't exist at all on POWER7.

This allows userspace (e.g. QEMU) to enable large decrementer mode for the guest when running on a POWER9 host, by setting the LPCR_LD bit in the guest LPCR value. With this, the guest exit code saves 64 bits of the guest DEC value on exit. Other places that use the guest DEC value check the LPCR_LD bit in the guest LPCR value, and if it is set, omit the 32-bit sign extension that would otherwise be done. This doesn't change the DEC emulation used by PR KVM because PR KVM is not supported on POWER9 yet. This is partly based on an earlier patch by Oliver O'Halloran.

This allows the host kernel to handle H_PUT_TCE, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE requests targeted an IOMMU TCE table used for VFIO without passing them to user space which saves time on switching to user space and back. This adds H_PUT_TCE/H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE handlers to KVM. KVM tries to handle a TCE request in the real mode, if failed it passes the request to the virtual mode to complete the operation. If it a virtual mode handler fails, the request is passed to the user space; this is not expected to happen though. To avoid dealing with page use counters (which is tricky in real mode), this only accelerates SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 clients which are required to pre-register the userspace memory. The very first TCE request will be handled in the VFIO SPAPR TCE driver anyway as the userspace view of the TCE table (iommu_table::it_userspace) is not allocated till the very first mapping happens and we cannot call vmalloc in real mode. If we fail to update a hardware IOMMU table unexpected reason, we just clear it and move on as there is nothing really we can do about it - for example, if we hot plug a VFIO device to a guest, existing TCE tables will be mirrored automatically to the hardware and there is no interface to report to the guest about possible failures. This adds new attribute - KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE - to the VFIO KVM device. It takes a VFIO group fd and SPAPR TCE table fd and associates a physical IOMMU table with the SPAPR TCE table (which is a guest view of the hardware IOMMU table). The iommu_table object is cached and referenced so we do not have to look up for it in real mode. This does not implement the UNSET counterpart as there is no use for it - once the acceleration is enabled, the existing userspace won't disable it unless a VFIO container is destroyed; this adds necessary cleanup to the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL handler. This advertises the new KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability to the user space. This adds real mode version of WARN_ON_ONCE() as the generic version causes problems with rcu_sched. Since we testing what vmalloc_to_phys() returns in the code, this also adds a check for already existing vmalloc_to_phys() call in kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect(). This finally makes use of vfio_external_user_iommu_id() which was introduced quite some time ago and was considered for removal.

With radix, the guest can do TLB invalidations itself using the tlbie (global) and tlbiel (local) TLB invalidation instructions. Linux guests use local TLB invalidations for translations that have only ever been accessed on one vcpu. However, that doesn't mean that the translations have only been accessed on one physical cpu (pcpu) since vcpus can move around from one pcpu to another. Thus a tlbiel might leave behind stale TLB entries on a pcpu where the vcpu previously ran, and if that task then moves back to that previous pcpu, it could see those stale TLB entries and thus access memory incorrectly. The usual symptom of this is random segfaults in userspace programs in the guest. To cope with this, we detect when a vcpu is about to start executing on a thread in a core that is a different core from the last time it executed. If that is the case, then we mark the core as needing a TLB flush and then send an interrupt to any thread in the core that is currently running a vcpu from the same guest. This will get those vcpus out of the guest, and the first one to re-enter the guest will do the TLB flush. The reason for interrupting the vcpus executing on the old core is to cope with the following scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 4 (core 0) (core 0) (core 1) VCPU 0 runs task X VCPU 1 runs core 0 TLB gets entries from task X VCPU 0 moves to CPU 4 VCPU 0 runs task X Unmap pages of task X tlbiel (still VCPU 1) task X moves to VCPU 1 task X runs task X sees stale TLB entries That is, as soon as the VCPU starts executing on the new core, it could unmap and tlbiel some page table entries, and then the task could migrate to one of the VCPUs running on the old core and potentially see stale TLB entries. Since the TLB is shared between all the threads in a core, we only use the bit of kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush corresponding to the first thread in the core. To ensure that we don't have a window where we can miss a flush, this moves the clearing of the bit from before the actual flush to after it. This way, two threads might both do the flush, but we prevent the situation where one thread can enter the guest before the flush is finished.

KVM_HALT_POLL_NS_DEFAULT is an arch specific constant which sets the default value of the halt_poll_ns kvm module parameter which determines the global maximum halt polling interval. The current value for powerpc is 500000 (500us) which means that any repetitive workload with a period of less than that can drive the cpu usage to 100% where it may have been mostly idle without halt polling. This presents the possibility of a large increase in power usage with a comparatively small performance benefit. Reduce the default to 10000 (10us) and a user can tune this themselves to set their affinity for halt polling based on the trade off between power and performance which they are willing to make.

POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry) and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions. Both instructions get a set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the instruction word. The tlbiel instruction now has a second register operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and should otherwise contain 0. This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9 as well as older processors. Since we only handle HPT guests so far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally execute different instructions depending on the processor. The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets. Rather than using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time and store it in the kvm_arch struct. That will make it possible to get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with compatibility with future processors. Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the guest on each processor. Therefore we don't set all bits in the tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This keeps a per vcpu cache for recently page faulted MMIO entries. On a page fault, if the entry exists in the cache, we can avoid some time-consuming paths, for example, looking up HPT, locking HPTE twice and searching mmio gfn from memslots, then directly call kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio(). In current implenment, we limit the size of cache to four. We think it's enough to cover the high-frequency MMIO HPTEs in most case. For example, considering the case of using virtio device, for virtio legacy devices, one HPTE could handle notifications from up to 1024 (64K page / 64 byte Port IO register) devices, so one cache entry is enough; for virtio modern devices, we always need one HPTE to handle notification for each device because modern device would use a 8M MMIO register to notify host instead of Port IO register, typically the system's configuration should not exceed four virtio devices per vcpu, four cache entry is also enough in this case. Of course, if needed, we could also modify the macro to a module parameter in the future. Signed-off-by: NYongji Xie <xyjxie@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one per CPU thread. The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector. (CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.) For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value. With this, the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure. This also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores would share a single VTB register. PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM has no notion of CPU threads or SMT. For PR KVM we move the VTB state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

Add VCPU stat counters to track affinity for passthrough interrupts. pthru_all: Counts all passthrough interrupts whose IRQ mappings are in the kvmppc_passthru_irq_map structure. pthru_host: Counts all cached passthrough interrupts that were injected from the host through kvm_set_irq (i.e. not handled in real mode). pthru_bad_aff: Counts how many cached passthrough interrupts have bad affinity (receiving CPU is not running VCPU that is the target of the virtual interrupt in the guest).

This patch introduces an IRQ mapping structure, the kvmppc_passthru_irqmap structure that is to be used to map the real hardware IRQ in the host with the virtual hardware IRQ (gsi) that is injected into a guest by KVM for passthrough adapters. Currently, we assume a separate IRQ mapping structure for each guest. Each kvmppc_passthru_irqmap has a mapping arrays, containing all defined real<->virtual IRQs. [paulus@ozlabs.org - removed irq_chip field from struct kvmppc_passthru_irqmap; changed parameter for kvmppc_get_passthru_irqmap from struct kvm_vcpu * to struct kvm *, removed small cached array.] Signed-off-by: NSuresh Warrier <warrier@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

vcpu stats are used to collect information about a vcpu which can be viewed in the debugfs. For example halt_attempted_poll and halt_successful_poll are used to keep track of the number of times the vcpu attempts to and successfully polls. These stats are currently not used on powerpc. Implement incrementation of the halt_attempted_poll and halt_successful_poll vcpu stats for powerpc. Since these stats are summed over all the vcpus for all running guests it doesn't matter which vcpu they are attributed to, thus we choose the current runner vcpu of the vcore. Also add new vcpu stats: halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and halt_wait_ns to be used to accumulate the total time spend polling successfully, polling unsuccessfully and waiting respectively, and halt_successful_wait to accumulate the number of times the vcpu waits. Given that halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and halt_wait_ns are expressed in nanoseconds it is necessary to represent these as 64-bit quantities, otherwise they would overflow after only about 4 seconds. Given that the total time spend either polling or waiting will be known and the number of times that each was done, it will be possible to determine the average poll and wait times. This will give the ability to tune the kvm module parameters based on the calculated average wait and poll times.

vms and vcpus have statistics associated with them which can be viewed within the debugfs. Currently it is assumed within the vcpu_stat_get() and vm_stat_get() functions that all of these statistics are represented as u32s, however the next patch adds some u64 vcpu statistics. Change all vcpu statistics to u64 and modify vcpu_stat_get() accordingly. Since vcpu statistics are per vcpu, they will only be updated by a single vcpu at a time so this shouldn't present a problem on 32-bit machines which can't atomically increment 64-bit numbers. However vm statistics could potentially be updated by multiple vcpus from that vm at a time. To avoid the overhead of atomics make all vm statistics ulong such that they are 64-bit on 64-bit systems where they can be atomically incremented and are 32-bit on 32-bit systems which may not be able to atomically increment 64-bit numbers. Modify vm_stat_get() to expect ulongs.

This patch introduces new halt polling functionality into the kvm_hv kernel module. When a vcore is idle it will poll for some period of time before scheduling itself out. When all of the runnable vcpus on a vcore have ceded (and thus the vcore is idle) we schedule ourselves out to allow something else to run. In the event that we need to wake up very quickly (for example an interrupt arrives), we are required to wait until we get scheduled again. Implement halt polling so that when a vcore is idle, and before scheduling ourselves, we poll for vcpus in the runnable_threads list which have pending exceptions or which leave the ceded state. If we poll successfully then we can get back into the guest very quickly without ever scheduling ourselves, otherwise we schedule ourselves out as before. There exists generic halt_polling code in virt/kvm_main.c, however on powerpc the polling conditions are different to the generic case. It would be nice if we could just implement an arch specific kvm_check_block() function, but there is still other arch specific things which need to be done for kvm_hv (for example manipulating vcore states) which means that a separate implementation is the best option. Testing of this patch with a TCP round robin test between two guests with virtio network interfaces has found a decrease in round trip time of ~15us on average. A performance gain is only seen when going out of and back into the guest often and quickly, otherwise there is no net benefit from the polling. The polling interval is adjusted such that when we are often scheduled out for long periods of time it is reduced, and when we often poll successfully it is increased. The rate at which the polling interval increases or decreases, and the maximum polling interval, can be set through module parameters. Based on the implementation in the generic kvm module by Wanpeng Li and Paolo Bonzini, and on direction from Paul Mackerras.

The struct kvmppc_vcore is a structure used to store various information about a virtual core for a kvm guest. The runnable_threads element of the struct provides a list of all of the currently runnable vcpus on the core (those in the KVMPPC_VCPU_RUNNABLE state). The previous implementation of this list was a linked_list. The next patch requires that the list be able to be iterated over without holding the vcore lock. Reimplement the runnable_threads list in the kvmppc_vcore struct as an array. Implement function to iterate over valid entries in the array and update access sites accordingly.

The next commit will introduce a member to the kvmppc_vcore struct which references MAX_SMT_THREADS which is defined in kvm_book3s_asm.h, however this file isn't included in kvm_host.h directly. Thus compiling for certain platforms such as pmac32_defconfig and ppc64e_defconfig with KVM fails due to MAX_SMT_THREADS not being defined. Move the struct kvmppc_vcore definition to kvm_book3s.h which explicitly includes kvm_book3s_asm.h.

It doesn't make sense to create irqfds for a VM that doesn't have in-kernel interrupt controller emulation. There is an existing interface for architecture code to tell the irqfd code whether or not any interrupt controller has been initialized, called kvm_arch_intc_initialized(), so let's implement that for powerpc.
