This is a new device driver for a high performance SR-IOV assisted virtual network for IBM System p and IBM System i systems. The SR-IOV VF will be attached to the VIOS partition and mapped to the Linux client via the hypervisor's VNIC protocol that this driver implements. This driver is able to perform basic tx and rx, new features and improvements will be added as they are being developed and tested.

This adds support for the H_SET_MODE hcall. This hcall is a multiplexer that has several functions, some of which are called rarely, and some which are potentially called very frequently. Here we add support for the functions that set the debug registers CIABR (Completed Instruction Address Breakpoint Register) and DAWR/DAWRX (Data Address Watchpoint Register and eXtension), since they could be updated by the guest as often as every context switch. This also adds a kvmppc_power8_compatible() function to test to see if a guest is compatible with POWER8 or not. The CIABR and DAWR/X only exist on POWER8.

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code. These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in future.

For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS calls in the kernel itself. This adds an infrastructure to allow in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name. A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to associate token values with those service names. Then, when the guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being passed up to userspace as at present.

For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address. This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors. Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed. It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real option.

The PAPR API allows three sorts of per-virtual-processor areas to be registered (VPA, SLB shadow buffer, and dispatch trace log), and furthermore, these can be registered and unregistered for another virtual CPU. Currently we just update the vcpu fields pointing to these areas at the time of registration or unregistration. If this is done on another vcpu, there is the possibility that the target vcpu is using those fields at the time and could end up using a bogus pointer and corrupting memory. This fixes the race by making the target cpu itself do the update, so we can be sure that the update happens at a time when the fields aren't being used. Each area now has a struct kvmppc_vpa which is used to manage these updates. There is also a spinlock which protects access to all of the kvmppc_vpa structs, other than to the pinned_addr fields. (We could have just taken the spinlock when using the vpa, slb_shadow or dtl fields, but that would mean taking the spinlock on every guest entry and exit.) This also changes 'struct dtl' (which was undefined) to 'struct dtl_entry', which is what the rest of the kernel uses. Thanks to Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> for pointing out the need to initialize vcpu->arch.vpa_update_lock.

This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel, either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode, or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU is off. This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode: H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel: H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA) The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Create sysfs interface to export data from H_BEST_ENERGY hcall that can be used by administrative tools on supported pseries platforms for energy management optimizations. sys/device/system/cpu/pseries_(de)activate_hint_list and sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint will provide hints for activation and deactivation of cpus respectively. These hints are abstract number given by the hypervisor based on the extended knowledge the hypervisor has regarding the system topology and resource mappings. The activate and the deactivate sysfs entry is for the two distinct operations that we could do for energy savings. When we have more capacity than required, we could deactivate few core to save energy. The choice of the core to deactivate will be based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/deactivate_hint_list. The comma separated list of cpus (cores) will be the preferred choice. If we have to activate some of the deactivated cores, then /sys/devices/system/cpu/activate_hint_list will be used. The per-cpu file /sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint further provide more fine grain information by exporting the value of the hint itself.

Add hcall_entry and hcall_exit tracepoints. This replaces the inline assembly HCALL_STATS code and converts it to use the new tracepoints. To keep the disabled case as quick as possible, we embed a status word in the TOC so we can get at it with a single load. By doing so we keep the overhead at a minimum. Time taken for a null hcall: No tracepoint code: 135.79 cycles Disabled tracepoints: 137.95 cycles For reference, before this patch enabling HCALL_STATS resulted in a null hcall of 201.44 cycles!

kexec invokes plpar_hcall hypervisor call in real mode. plpar_hcall refers to per cpu variables for accounting hypervisor statistics. These variables may not be in the RMO region, so accesses to them in real mode may result in a data storage exception.

There were a few issues with the HCALL_STATS code: - PURR cpu feature checks were backwards - We iterated one entry off the end of the hcall_stats array - Remove dead update_hcall_stats() function prototype I noticed one thing while debugging, and that is we call H_ENTER (to set up the MMU hashtable in early init) before we have done the cpu fixups. This means we will execute the PURR SPR reads even on a CPU that isnt capable of it. I wonder if we can move the CPU feature fixups earlier.
