When a Power cpu with 64-bit hash MMU has it's hash page table (HPT) pointer updated by a write to the SDR1 register we need to update some derived variables. Likewise, when the cpu is configured for an external HPT (one not in the guest memory space) some derived variables need to be updated. Currently the logic for this is (partially) duplicated in ppc_store_sdr1() and in spapr_cpu_reset(). In future we're going to need it in some other places, so make some common helpers for this update. In addition the new ppc_hash64_set_external_hpt() helper also updates SDR1 in KVM - it's not updated by the normal runtime KVM <-> qemu CPU synchronization. In a sense this belongs logically in the ppc_hash64_set_sdr1() helper, but that is called from kvm_arch_get_registers() so can't itself call cpu_synchronize_state() without infinite recursion. In practice this doesn't matter because the only other caller is TCG specific. Currently there aren't situations where updating SDR1 at runtime in KVM matters, but there are going to be in future.

This hypercall either initializes a page with zeros, or copies another page. According to LoPAPR, the i-cache of the page should also be flushed if using H_ICACHE_INVALIDATE or H_ICACHE_SYNCHRONIZE, and the d-cache should be synchronized to the RAM if the H_ICACHE_SYNCHRONIZE flag is used. For this, two new functions are introduced, kvmppc_dcbst_range() and kvmppc_icbi()_range, which use the corresponding assembler instructions to flush the caches if running with KVM on Power. If the code runs with TCG instead, the code only uses tb_flush(), assuming that this will be enough for synchronization.

The vfio_accel parameter used when creating a new TCE table (guest IOMMU context) has a confusing name. What it really means is whether we need the TCE table created to be able to support VFIO devices. VFIO is relevant, because when available we use in-kernel acceleration of the TCE table, but that may not work with VFIO devices because updates to the table are handled in kernel, bypass qemu and so don't hit qemu's infrastructure for keeping the VFIO host IOMMU state in sync with the guest IOMMU state. Rename the parameter to "need_vfio" throughout. This is a cosmetic change, with no impact on the logic.

The PAPR interface defines a hypercall to pass high-quality hardware generated random numbers to guests. Recent kernels can already provide this hypercall to the guest if the right hardware random number generator is available. But in case the user wants to use another source like EGD, or QEMU is running with an older kernel, we should also have this call in QEMU, so that guests that do not support virtio-rng yet can get good random numbers, too. This patch now adds a new pseudo-device to QEMU that either directly provides this hypercall to the guest or is able to enable the in-kernel hypercall if available. The in-kernel hypercall can be enabled with the use-kvm property, e.g.: qemu-system-ppc64 -device spapr-rng,use-kvm=true For handling the hypercall in QEMU instead, a "RngBackend" is required since the hypercall should provide "good" random data instead of pseudo-random (like from a "simple" library function like rand() or g_random_int()). Since there are multiple RngBackends available, the user must select an appropriate back-end via the "rng" property of the device, e.g.: qemu-system-ppc64 -object rng-random,filename=/dev/hwrng,id=gid0 \ -device spapr-rng,rng=gid0 ... See http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Features-Done/VirtIORNG for other example of specifying RngBackends.

qemu currently implements the hypercalls H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD and H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE as PAPR extensions. These are used by the SLOF firmware for IO, because performing cache inhibited MMIO accesses with the MMU off (real mode) is very awkward on POWER. This approach breaks when SLOF needs to access IO devices implemented within KVM instead of in qemu. The simplest example would be virtio-blk using an iothread, because the iothread / dataplane mechanism relies on an in-kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification MMIO. To fix this, an in-kernel implementation of these hypercalls has been made, (kernel commit 99342cf "kvmppc: Implement H_LOGICAL_CI_{LOAD,STORE} in KVM" however, the hypercalls still need to be enabled from qemu. This performs the necessary calls to do so. It would be nice to provide some warning if we encounter a problematic device with a kernel which doesn't support the new calls. Unfortunately, I can't see a way to detect this case which won't either warn in far too many cases that will probably work, or which is horribly invasive.

PPC970 does not support VRMA (virtual RMA) so real memory required for SLOF to execute must be allocated by the KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA ioctl. Later this memory is used as a part of the guest RAM area. The RMA allocating code also registers a memory region for this piece of RAM. We are going to simplify memory regions layout: RMA memory region will be a subregion in the RAM memory region, both starting from zero. This way we will not have to take care of start address alignment for the piece of RAM next to the RMA. This moves memory region business closer to the RAM memory region creation/allocation code. As this is a mechanical patch, no change in behaviour is expected.

POWER KVM supports an KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE capability which allows allocating TCE tables in the host kernel memory and handle H_PUT_TCE requests targeted to specific LIOBN (logical bus number) right in the host without switching to QEMU. At the moment this is used for emulated devices only and the handler only puts TCE to the table. If the in-kernel H_PUT_TCE handler finds a LIOBN and corresponding table, it will put a TCE to the table and complete hypercall execution. The user space will not be notified. Upcoming VFIO support is going to use the same sPAPRTCETable device class so KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE is going to be used as well. That means that TCE tables for VFIO are going to be allocated in the host as well. However VFIO operates with real IOMMU tables and simple copying of a TCE to the real hardware TCE table will not work as guest physical to host physical address translation is requited. So until the host kernel gets VFIO support for H_PUT_TCE, we better not to register VFIO's TCE in the host. This adds a place holder for KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability. It is not in upstream yet and being discussed so now it is always false which means that in-kernel VFIO acceleration is not supported. This adds a bool @vfio_accel flag to the sPAPRTCETable device telling that sPAPRTCETable should not try allocating TCE table in the host kernel for VFIO. The flag is false now as at the moment there is no VFIO. This adds an vfio_accel parameter to spapr_tce_new_table(), the semantic is the same. Since there is only emulated PCI and VIO now, the flag is set to false. Upcoming VFIO support will set it to true.

Normally CPUState::cpu_index is used to pick the right CPU for various operations. However default consecutive numbering does not always work for POWERPC. These indexes are reflected in /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER7@XX and used to call KVM VCPU's ioctls. In order to achieve this, kvmppc_fixup_cpu() was introduced. Roughly speaking, it multiplies cpu_index by the number of threads per core. This approach has disadvantages such as: 1. NUMA configuration stays broken after the fixup; 2. CPU-targeted commands from the QEMU Monitor do not work properly as CPU indexes have been fixed and there is no clear way for the user to know what the new CPU indexes are. This introduces a @cpu_dt_id field in the CPUPPCState struct which is initialized from @cpu_index by default and can be fixed later to meet the device tree requirements. This adds an API to handle @cpu_dt_id. This removes kvmppc_fixup_cpu() as it is not more needed, @cpu_dt_id is calculated in ppc_cpu_realize(). This will be used later in machine code.

More recent Power server chips (i.e. based on the 64 bit hash MMU) support more than just the traditional 4k and 16M page sizes. This can get quite complicated, because which page sizes are supported, which combinations are supported within an MMU segment and how these page sizes are encoded both in the SLB entry and the hash PTE can vary depending on the CPU model (they are not specified by the architecture). In addition the firmware or hypervisor may not permit use of certain page sizes, for various reasons. Whether various page sizes are supported on KVM, for example, depends on whether the PR or HV variant of KVM is in use, and on the page size of the memory backing the guest's RAM. This patch adds information to the CPUState and cpu defs to describe the supported page sizes and encodings. Since TCG does not yet support any extended page sizes, we just set this to NULL in the static CPU definitions, expanding this to the default 4k and 16M page sizes when we initialize the cpu state. When using KVM, however, we instead determine available page sizes using the new KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO call. For old kernels without that call, we use some defaults, with some guesswork which should do the right thing for existing HV and PR implementations. The fallback might not be correct for future versions, but that's ok, because they'll have KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO.

For convenience with kvm, x86 allows the user to specify -cpu host on the qemu command line, which means make the guest cpu the same as the host cpu. This patch implements the same option for ppc targets. For now, this just read the host PVR (Processor Version Register) and selects one of our existing CPU specs based on it. This means that the option will not work if the host cpu is not supported by TCG, even if that wouldn't matter for use under kvm. In future, we can extend this in future to override parts of the cpu spec based on information obtained from the host (via /proc/cpuinfo, the host device tree, or explicit KVM calls). That will let us handle cases where the real kvm-virtualized CPU doesn't behave exactly like the TCG-emulated CPU. With appropriate annotation of the CPU specs we'll also then be able to use host cpus under kvm even when there isn't a matching full TCG model.

Sufficiently recent PAPR specifications define properties "ibm,vmx" and "ibm,dfp" on the CPU node which advertise whether the VMX vector extensions (or the later VSX version) and/or the Decimal Floating Point operations from IBM's recent POWER CPUs are available. Currently we do not put these in the guest device tree and the guest kernel will consequently assume they are not available. This is good, because they are not supported under TCG. VMX is similar enough to Altivec that it might be trivial to support, but VSX and DFP would both require significant work to support in TCG. However, when running under kvm on a host which supports these instructions, there's no reason not to let the guest use them. This patch, therefore, checks for the relevant support on the host CPU and, if present, advertises them to the guest as well.

The pseries machine of qemu implements the TCE mechanism used as a virtual IOMMU for the PAPR defined virtual IO devices. Because the PAPR spec only defines a small DMA address space, the guest VIO drivers need to update TCE mappings very frequently - the virtual network device is particularly bad. This means many slow exits to qemu to emulate the H_PUT_TCE hypercall. Sufficiently recent kernels allow this to be mitigated by implementing H_PUT_TCE in the host kernel. To make use of this, however, qemu needs to initialize the necessary TCE tables, and map them into itself so that the VIO device implementations can retrieve the mappings when they access guest memory (which is treated as a virtual DMA operation). This patch adds the necessary calls to use the KVM TCE acceleration. If the kernel does not support acceleration, or there is some other error creating the accelerated TCE table, then it will still fall back to full userspace TCE implementation.

PPC970 CPUs also have hypervisor capability, but they lack the VRMA feature which makes assigning guest memory easier. In order to allow KVM Book3S-HV on PPC970, we need to specially allocate the first chunk of guest memory (the "Real Mode Area" or RMA), so that it is physically contiguous. Sufficiently recent host kernels allow such contiguous RMAs to be allocated, with a kvm capability advertising whether the feature is available and/or necessary on this hardware. This patch enables qemu to use this support, thus allowing kvm acceleration of pseries qemu machines on PPC970 hardware.
