Currently, the HV KVM guest entry/exit code adds the timebase offset from the vcore struct to the timebase on guest entry, and subtracts it on guest exit. Which is fine, except that it is possible for userspace to change the offset using the SET_ONE_REG interface while the vcore is running, as there is only one timebase offset per vcore but potentially multiple VCPUs in the vcore. If that were to happen, KVM would subtract a different offset on guest exit from that which it had added on guest entry, leading to the timebase being out of sync between cores in the host, which then leads to bad things happening such as hangs and spurious watchdog timeouts. To fix this, we add a new field 'tb_offset_applied' to the vcore struct which stores the offset that is currently applied to the timebase. This value is set from the vcore tb_offset field on guest entry, and is what is subtracted from the timebase on guest exit. Since it is zero when the timebase offset is not applied, we can simplify the logic in kvmhv_start_timing and kvmhv_accumulate_time. In addition, we had secondary threads reading the timebase while running concurrently with code on the primary thread which would eventually add or subtract the timebase offset from the timebase. This occurred while saving or restoring the DEC register value on the secondary threads. Although no specific incorrect behaviour has been observed, this is a race which should be fixed. To fix it, we move the DEC saving code to just before we call kvmhv_commence_exit, and the DEC restoring code to after the point where we have waited for the primary thread to switch the MMU context and add the timebase offset. That way we are sure that the timebase contains the guest timebase value in both cases. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate pacas individually. This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused. This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross CPU paca references, but those aren't too common.

POWER9 has hardware bugs relating to transactional memory and thread reconfiguration (changes to hardware SMT mode). Specifically, the core does not have enough storage to store a complete checkpoint of all the architected state for all four threads. The DD2.2 version of POWER9 includes hardware modifications designed to allow hypervisor software to implement workarounds for these problems. This patch implements those workarounds in KVM code so that KVM guests see a full, working transactional memory implementation. The problems center around the use of TM suspended state, where the CPU has a checkpointed state but execution is not transactional. The workaround is to implement a "fake suspend" state, which looks to the guest like suspended state but the CPU does not store a checkpoint. In this state, any instruction that would cause a transition to transactional state (rfid, rfebb, mtmsrd, tresume) or would use the checkpointed state (treclaim) causes a "soft patch" interrupt (vector 0x1500) to the hypervisor so that it can be emulated. The trechkpt instruction also causes a soft patch interrupt. On POWER9 DD2.2, we avoid returning to the guest in any state which would require a checkpoint to be present. The trechkpt in the guest entry path which would normally create that checkpoint is replaced by either a transition to fake suspend state, if the guest is in suspend state, or a rollback to the pre-transactional state if the guest is in transactional state. Fake suspend state is indicated by a flag in the PACA plus a new bit in the PSSCR. The new PSSCR bit is write-only and reads back as 0. On exit from the guest, if the guest is in fake suspend state, we still do the treclaim instruction as we would in real suspend state, in order to get into non-transactional state, but we do not save the resulting register state since there was no checkpoint. Emulation of the instructions that cause a softpatch interrupt is handled in two paths. If the guest is in real suspend mode, we call kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() to handle the cases where the guest is transitioning to transactional state. This is called before we do the treclaim in the guest exit path; because we haven't done treclaim, we can get back to the guest with the transaction still active. If the instruction is a case that kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() doesn't handle, or if the guest is in fake suspend state, then we proceed to do the complete guest exit path and subsequently call kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation() in host context with the MMU on. This handles all the cases including the cases that generate program interrupts (illegal instruction or TM Bad Thing) and facility unavailable interrupts. The emulation is reasonably straightforward and is mostly concerned with checking for exception conditions and updating the state of registers such as MSR and CR0. The treclaim emulation takes care to ensure that the TEXASR register gets updated as if it were the guest treclaim instruction that had done failure recording, not the treclaim done in hypervisor state in the guest exit path. With this, the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM capability returns true (1) even if transactional memory is not available to host userspace.

Since commit 8b24e69f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Close race with testing for signals on guest entry"), if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is set, the guest time is not accounted to guest time and user time, but instead to system time. This is because guest_enter()/guest_exit() are called while interrupts are disabled and the tick counter cannot be updated between them. To fix that, move guest_exit() after local_irq_enable(), and as guest_enter() is called with IRQ disabled, call guest_enter_irqoff() instead.

The current code for initializing the VRMA (virtual real memory area) for HPT guests requires the page size of the backing memory to be one of 4kB, 64kB or 16MB. With a radix host we have the possibility that the backing memory page size can be 2MB or 1GB. In these cases, if the guest switches to HPT mode, KVM will not initialize the VRMA and the guest will fail to run. In fact it is not necessary that the VRMA page size is the same as the backing memory page size; any VRMA page size less than or equal to the backing memory page size is acceptable. Therefore we now choose the largest page size out of the set {4k, 64k, 16M} which is not larger than the backing memory page size. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP reveals that HV KVM tries to read guest memory, in order to emulate guest instructions, while preempt is disabled and a vcore lock is held. This occurs in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), called from post_guest_process(), when emulating guest doorbell instructions on POWER9 systems, and also when checking whether we have hit a hypervisor breakpoint. Reading guest memory can cause a page fault and thus cause the task to sleep, so we need to avoid reading guest memory while holding a spinlock or when preempt is disabled. To fix this, we move the preempt_enable() in kvmppc_run_core() to before the loop that calls post_guest_process() for each vcore that has just run, and we drop and re-take the vcore lock around the calls to kvmppc_emulate_debug_inst() and kvmppc_emulate_doorbell_instr(). Dropping the lock is safe with respect to the iteration over the runnable vcpus in post_guest_process(); for_each_runnable_thread is actually safe to use locklessly. It is possible for a vcpu to become runnable and add itself to the runnable_threads array (code near the beginning of kvmppc_run_vcpu()) and then get included in the iteration in post_guest_process despite the fact that it has not just run. This is benign because vcpu->arch.trap and vcpu->arch.ceded will be zero.

Symbolic macros are unintuitive and hard to read, whereas octal constants are much easier to interpret. Replace macros for the basic permission flags (user/group/other read/write/execute) with numeric constants instead, across the whole powerpc tree. Introducing a significant number of changes across the tree for no runtime benefit isn't exactly desirable, but so long as these macros are still used in the tree people will keep sending patches that add them. Not only are they hard to parse at a glance, there are multiple ways of coming to the same value (as you can see with 0444 and 0644 in this patch) which hurts readability.

POWER9 chip versions starting with "Nimbus" v2.2 can support running with some threads of a core in HPT mode and others in radix mode. This means that we don't have to prohibit independent-threads mode when running a HPT guest on a radix host, and we don't have to do any of the synchronization between threads that was introduced in commit c0101509 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Run HPT guests on POWER9 radix hosts", 2017-10-19). Rather than using up another CPU feature bit, we just do an explicit test on the PVR (processor version register) at module startup time to determine whether we have to take steps to avoid having some threads in HPT mode and some in radix mode (so-called "mixed mode"). We test for "Nimbus" (indicated by 0 or 1 in the top nibble of the lower 16 bits) v2.2 or later, or "Cumulus" (indicated by 2 or 3 in that nibble) v1.1 or later.

This adds a register identifier for use with the one_reg interface to allow the decrementer expiry time to be read and written by userspace. The decrementer expiry time is in guest timebase units and is equal to the sum of the decrementer and the guest timebase. (The expiry time is used rather than the decrementer value itself because the expiry time is not constantly changing, though the decrementer value is, while the guest vcpu is not running.) Without this, a guest vcpu migrated to a new host will see its decrementer set to some random value. On POWER8 and earlier, the decrementer is 32 bits wide and counts down at 512MHz, so the guest vcpu will potentially see no decrementer interrupts for up to about 4 seconds, which will lead to a stall. With POWER9, the decrementer is now 56 bits side, so the stall can be much longer (up to 2.23 years) and more noticeable. To help work around the problem in cases where userspace has not been updated to migrate the decrementer expiry time, we now set the default decrementer expiry at vcpu creation time to the current time rather than the maximum possible value. This should mean an immediate decrementer interrupt when a migrated vcpu starts running. In cases where the decrementer is 32 bits wide and more than 4 seconds elapse between the creation of the vcpu and when it first runs, the decrementer would have wrapped around to positive values and there may still be a stall - but this is no worse than the current situation. In the large-decrementer case, we are sure to get an immediate decrementer interrupt (assuming the time from vcpu creation to first run is less than 2.23 years) and we thus avoid a very long stall.

This corrects the test that determines whether a vcpu that has just become able to run in the guest (e.g. it has just finished handling a hypercall or hypervisor page fault) and whose virtual core is already running somewhere as a "piggybacked" vcore can start immediately or not. (A piggybacked vcore is one which is executing along with another vcore as a result of dynamic micro-threading.) Previously the test tried to lock the piggybacked vcore using spin_trylock, which would always fail because the vcore was already locked, and so the vcpu would have to wait until its vcore exited the guest before it could enter. In fact the vcpu can enter if its vcore is in VCORE_PIGGYBACK state and not already exiting (or exited) the guest, so the test in VCORE_PIGGYBACK state is basically the same as for VCORE_RUNNING state. Coverity detected this as a double unlock issue, which it isn't because the spin_trylock would always fail. This will fix the apparent double unlock as well.

This fixes two errors that prevent a guest using the HPT MMU from successfully migrating to a POWER9 host in radix MMU mode, or resizing its HPT when running on a radix host. The first bug was that commit 8dc6cca5 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't rely on host's page size information", 2017-09-11) missed two uses of hpte_base_page_size(), one in the HPT rehashing code and one in kvm_htab_write() (which is used on the destination side in migrating a HPT guest). Instead we use kvmppc_hpte_base_page_shift(). Having the shift count means that we can use left and right shifts instead of multiplication and division in a few places. Along the way, this adds a check in kvm_htab_write() to ensure that the page size encoding in the incoming HPTEs is recognized, and if not return an EINVAL error to userspace. The second bug was that kvm_htab_write was performing some but not all of the functions of kvmhv_setup_mmu(), resulting in the destination VM being left in radix mode as far as the hardware is concerned. The simplest fix for now is make kvm_htab_write() call kvmppc_setup_partition_table() like kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma() does. In future it would be better to refactor the code more extensively to remove the duplication.

Commit 5e985969 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Outline of KVM-HV HPT resizing implementation", 2016-12-20) added code that tries to exclude any use or update of the hashed page table (HPT) while the HPT resizing code is iterating through all the entries in the HPT. It does this by taking the kvm->lock mutex, clearing the kvm->arch.hpte_setup_done flag and then sending an IPI to all CPUs in the host. The idea is that any VCPU task that tries to enter the guest will see that the hpte_setup_done flag is clear and therefore call kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma, which also takes the kvm->lock mutex and will therefore block until we release kvm->lock. However, any VCPU that is already in the guest, or is handling a hypervisor page fault or hypercall, can re-enter the guest without rechecking the hpte_setup_done flag. The IPI will cause a guest exit of any VCPUs that are currently in the guest, but does not prevent those VCPU tasks from immediately re-entering the guest. The result is that after resize_hpt_rehash_hpte() has made a HPTE absent, a hypervisor page fault can occur and make that HPTE present again. This includes updating the rmap array for the guest real page, meaning that we now have a pointer in the rmap array which connects with pointers in the old rev array but not the new rev array. In fact, if the HPT is being reduced in size, the pointer in the rmap array could point outside the bounds of the new rev array.

This patch removes the restriction that a radix host can only run radix guests, allowing us to run HPT (hashed page table) guests as well. This is useful because it provides a way to run old guest kernels that know about POWER8 but not POWER9. Unfortunately, POWER9 currently has a restriction that all threads in a given code must either all be in HPT mode, or all in radix mode. This means that when entering a HPT guest, we have to obtain control of all 4 threads in the core and get them to switch their LPIDR and LPCR registers, even if they are not going to run a guest. On guest exit we also have to get all threads to switch LPIDR and LPCR back to host values. To make this feasible, we require that KVM not be in the "independent threads" mode, and that the CPU cores be in single-threaded mode from the host kernel's perspective (only thread 0 online; threads 1, 2 and 3 offline). That allows us to use the same code as on POWER8 for obtaining control of the secondary threads. To manage the LPCR/LPIDR changes required, we extend the kvm_split_info struct to contain the information needed by the secondary threads. All threads perform a barrier synchronization (where all threads wait for every other thread to reach the synchronization point) on guest entry, both before and after loading LPCR and LPIDR. On guest exit, they all once again perform a barrier synchronization both before and after loading host values into LPCR and LPIDR. Finally, it is also currently necessary to flush the entire TLB every time we enter a HPT guest on a radix host. We do this on thread 0 with a loop of tlbiel instructions.

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>

This sets up the machinery for switching a guest between HPT (hashed page table) and radix MMU modes, so that in future we can run a HPT guest on a radix host on POWER9 machines. * The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl can now specify either HPT or radix mode, on a radix host. * The KVM_CAP_PPC_MMU_HASH_V3 capability now returns 1 on POWER9 with HV KVM on a radix host. * The KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO returns information about the HPT MMU on a radix host. * The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl on a radix host will switch the guest to HPT mode and allocate a HPT. * For simplicity, we now allocate the rmap array for each memslot, even on a radix host, since it will be needed if the guest switches to HPT mode. * Since we cannot yet run a HPT guest on a radix host, the KVM_RUN ioctl will return an EINVAL error in that case.

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().

This removes the dependence of KVM on the mmu_psize_defs array (which stores information about hardware support for various page sizes) and the things derived from it, chiefly hpte_page_sizes[], hpte_page_size(), hpte_actual_page_size() and get_sllp_encoding(). We also no longer rely on the mmu_slb_size variable or the MMU_FTR_1T_SEGMENTS feature bit. The reason for doing this is so we can support a HPT guest on a radix host. In a radix host, the mmu_psize_defs array contains information about page sizes supported by the MMU in radix mode rather than the page sizes supported by the MMU in HPT mode. Similarly, mmu_slb_size and the MMU_FTR_1T_SEGMENTS bit are not set. Instead we hard-code knowledge of the behaviour of the HPT MMU in the POWER7, POWER8 and POWER9 processors (which are the only processors supported by HV KVM) - specifically the encoding of the LP fields in the HPT and SLB entries, and the fact that they have 32 SLB entries and support 1TB segments.

This reverts commit 94a04bc2. In order to run HPT guests on a radix POWER9 host, we will have to run the host in single-threaded mode, because POWER9 processors do not currently support running some threads of a core in HPT mode while others are in radix mode ("mixed mode"). That means that we will need the same mechanisms that are used on POWER8 to make the secondary threads available to KVM, which were disabled on POWER9 by commit 94a04bc2.

Commit 468808bd ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Set process table for HPT guests on POWER9", 2017-01-30) added a call to kvmppc_update_lpcr() which doesn't hold the kvm->lock mutex around the call, as required. This adds the lock/unlock pair, and for good measure, includes the kvmppc_setup_partition_table() call in the locked region, since it is altering global state of the VM. This error appears not to have any fatal consequences for the host; the consequences would be that the VCPUs could end up running with different LPCR values, or an update to the LPCR value by userspace using the one_reg interface could get overwritten, or the update done by kvmhv_configure_mmu() could get overwritten.

This adds information about storage keys to the struct returned by the KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO ioctl. The new fields replace a pad field, which was zeroed by previous kernel versions. Thus userspace that knows about the new fields will see zeroes when running on an older kernel, indicating that storage keys are not supported. The size of the structure has not changed. The number of keys is hard-coded for the CPUs supported by HV KVM, which is just POWER7, POWER8 and POWER9.

POWER9 CPUs have independent MMU contexts per thread, so KVM does not need to quiesce secondary threads, so the hwthread_req/hwthread_state protocol does not have to be used. So patch it away on POWER9, and patch away the branch from the Linux idle wakeup to kvm_start_guest that is never used. Add a warning and error out of kvmppc_grab_hwthread in case it is ever called on POWER9. This avoids a hwsync in the idle wakeup path on POWER9.

The result is that if userspace does have live values in the TM registers, a KVM_RUN ioctl will cause a host kernel crash like this: [ 181.328511] Unrecoverable TM Unavailable Exception f60 at d00000001e7d9980 [ 181.328605] Oops: Unrecoverable TM Unavailable Exception, sig: 6 [#1] [ 181.328613] SMP NR_CPUS=2048 [ 181.328613] NUMA [ 181.328618] PowerNV [ 181.328646] Modules linked in: vhost_net vhost tap nfs_layout_nfsv41_files rpcsec_gss_krb5 nfsv4 dns_resolver nfs +fscache xt_CHECKSUM iptable_mangle ipt_MASQUERADE nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 iptable_nat nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat +nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_conntrack nf_conntrack ipt_REJECT nf_reject_ipv4 tun ebtable_filter ebtables +ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_filter bridge stp llc kvm_hv kvm nfsd ses enclosure scsi_transport_sas ghash_generic +auth_rpcgss gf128mul xts sg ctr nfs_acl lockd vmx_crypto shpchp ipmi_powernv i2c_opal grace ipmi_devintf i2c_core +powernv_rng sunrpc ipmi_msghandler ibmpowernv uio_pdrv_genirq uio leds_powernv powernv_op_panel ip_tables xfs sd_mod +lpfc ipr bnx2x libata mdio ptp pps_core scsi_transport_fc libcrc32c dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod [ 181.329278] CPU: 40 PID: 9926 Comm: CPU 0/KVM Not tainted 4.12.0+ #1 [ 181.329337] task: c000003fc6980000 task.stack: c000003fe4d80000 [ 181.329396] NIP: d00000001e7d9980 LR: d00000001e77381c CTR: d00000001e7d98f0 [ 181.329465] REGS: c000003fe4d837e0 TRAP: 0f60 Not tainted (4.12.0+) [ 181.329523] MSR: 9000000000009033 <SF,HV,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> [ 181.329527] CR: 24022448 XER: 00000000 [ 181.329608] CFAR: d00000001e773818 SOFTE: 1 [ 181.329608] GPR00: d00000001e77381c c000003fe4d83a60 d00000001e7ef410 c000003fdcfe0000 [ 181.329608] GPR04: c000003fe4f00000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 c000003fd7954800 [ 181.329608] GPR08: 0000000000000001 c000003fc6980000 0000000000000000 d00000001e7e2880 [ 181.329608] GPR12: d00000001e7d98f0 c000000007b19000 00000001295220e0 00007fffc0ce2090 [ 181.329608] GPR16: 0000010011886608 00007fff8c89f260 0000000000000001 00007fff8c080028 [ 181.329608] GPR20: 0000000000000000 00000100118500a6 0000010011850000 0000010011850000 [ 181.329608] GPR24: 00007fffc0ce1b48 0000010011850000 00000000d673b901 0000000000000000 [ 181.329608] GPR28: 0000000000000000 c000003fdcfe0000 c000003fdcfe0000 c000003fe4f00000 [ 181.330199] NIP [d00000001e7d9980] kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv+0x90/0x6b0 [kvm_hv] [ 181.330264] LR [d00000001e77381c] kvmppc_vcpu_run+0x2c/0x40 [kvm] [ 181.330322] Call Trace: [ 181.330351] [c000003fe4d83a60] [d00000001e773478] kvmppc_set_one_reg+0x48/0x340 [kvm] (unreliable) [ 181.330437] [c000003fe4d83b30] [d00000001e77381c] kvmppc_vcpu_run+0x2c/0x40 [kvm] [ 181.330513] [c000003fe4d83b50] [d00000001e7700b4] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x114/0x2a0 [kvm] [ 181.330586] [c000003fe4d83bd0] [d00000001e7642f8] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x598/0x7a0 [kvm] [ 181.330658] [c000003fe4d83d40] [c0000000003451b8] do_vfs_ioctl+0xc8/0x8b0 [ 181.330717] [c000003fe4d83de0] [c000000000345a64] SyS_ioctl+0xc4/0x120 [ 181.330776] [c000003fe4d83e30] [c00000000000b004] system_call+0x58/0x6c [ 181.330833] Instruction dump: [ 181.330869] e92d0260 e9290b50 e9290108 792807e3 41820058 e92d0260 e9290b50 e9290108 [ 181.330941] 792ae8a4 794a1f87 408204f4 e92d0260 <7d4022a6> f9490ff0 e92d0260 7d4122a6 [ 181.331013] ---[ end trace 6f6ddeb4bfe92a92 ]--- The fix is just to turn on the TM bit in the MSR before accessing the registers.

At present, interrupts are hard-disabled fairly late in the guest entry path, in the assembly code. Since we check for pending signals for the vCPU(s) task(s) earlier in the guest entry path, it is possible for a signal to be delivered before we enter the guest but not be noticed until after we exit the guest for some other reason. Similarly, it is possible for the scheduler to request a reschedule while we are in the guest entry path, and we won't notice until after we have run the guest, potentially for a whole timeslice. Furthermore, with a radix guest on POWER9, we can take the interrupt with the MMU on. In this case we end up leaving interrupts hard-disabled after the guest exit, and they are likely to stay hard-disabled until we exit to userspace or context-switch to another process. This was masking the fact that we were also not setting the RI (recoverable interrupt) bit in the MSR, meaning that if we had taken an interrupt, it would have crashed the host kernel with an unrecoverable interrupt message. To close these races, we need to check for signals and reschedule requests after hard-disabling interrupts, and then keep interrupts hard-disabled until we enter the guest. If there is a signal or a reschedule request from another CPU, it will send an IPI, which will cause a guest exit. This puts the interrupt disabling before we call kvmppc_start_thread() for all the secondary threads of this core that are going to run vCPUs. The reason for that is that once we have started the secondary threads there is no easy way to back out without going through at least part of the guest entry path. However, kvmppc_start_thread() includes some code for radix guests which needs to call smp_call_function(), which must be called with interrupts enabled. To solve this problem, this patch moves that code into a separate function that is called earlier. When the guest exit is caused by an external interrupt, a hypervisor doorbell or a hypervisor maintenance interrupt, we now handle these using the replay facility. __kvmppc_vcore_entry() now returns the trap number that caused the exit on this thread, and instead of the assembly code jumping to the handler entry, we return to C code with interrupts still hard-disabled and set the irq_happened flag in the PACA, so that when we do local_irq_enable() the appropriate handler gets called. With all this, we now have the interrupt soft-enable flag clear while we are in the guest. This is useful because code in the real-mode hypercall handlers that checks whether interrupts are enabled will now see that they are disabled, which is correct, since interrupts are hard-disabled in the real-mode code.

Since commit b009031f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Take out virtual core piggybacking code", 2016-09-15), we only have at most one vcore per subcore. Previously, the fact that there might be more than one vcore per subcore meant that we had the notion of a "master vcore", which was the vcore that controlled thread 0 of the subcore. We also needed a list per subcore in the core_info struct to record which vcores belonged to each subcore. Now that there can only be one vcore in the subcore, we can replace the list with a simple pointer and get rid of the notion of the master vcore (and in fact treat every vcore as a master vcore). We can also get rid of the subcore_vm[] field in the core_info struct since it is never read.

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.

On a POWER9 system, it is possible for an interrupt to become pending for a VCPU when that VCPU is about to cede (execute a H_CEDE hypercall) and has already disabled interrupts, or in the H_CEDE processing up to the point where the XIVE context is pulled from the hardware. In such a case, the H_CEDE should not sleep, but should return immediately to the guest. However, the conditions tested in kvmppc_vcpu_woken() don't include the condition that a XIVE interrupt is pending, so the VCPU could sleep until the next decrementer interrupt. To fix this, we add a new xive_interrupt_pending() helper which looks in the XIVE context that was pulled from the hardware to see if the priority of any pending interrupt is higher (numerically lower than) the CPU priority. If so then kvmppc_vcpu_woken() will return true. If the XIVE context has never been used, then both the pipr and the cppr fields will be zero and the test will indicate that no interrupt is pending.

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.
