    KVM: PPC: Implement MMIO emulation support for Book3S HV guests · 697d3899
    Paul Mackerras 提交于
    This provides the low-level support for MMIO emulation in Book3S HV
    guests.  When the guest tries to map a page which is not covered by
    any memslot, that page is taken to be an MMIO emulation page.  Instead
    of inserting a valid HPTE, we insert an HPTE that has the valid bit
    clear but another hypervisor software-use bit set, which we call
    HPTE_V_ABSENT, to indicate that this is an absent page.  An
    absent page is treated much like a valid page as far as guest hcalls
    (H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ etc.) are concerned, except of course that
    an absent HPTE doesn't need to be invalidated with tlbie since it
    was never valid as far as the hardware is concerned.
    
    When the guest accesses a page for which there is an absent HPTE, it
    will take a hypervisor data storage interrupt (HDSI) since we now set
    the VPM1 bit in the LPCR.  Our HDSI handler for HPTE-not-present faults
    looks up the hash table and if it finds an absent HPTE mapping the
    requested virtual address, will switch to kernel mode and handle the
    fault in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault(), which at present just calls
    kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio() to set up the MMIO emulation.
    
    This is based on an earlier patch by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, but since
    heavily reworked.
