      KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode · de56a948
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
      specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode.  Using hypervisor mode means
      that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode.  That means
      that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
      registers itself without trapping to the host.  This gives excellent
      performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
      architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.
      
      This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
      PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
      interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses.  That means that existing
      Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
      under KVM without modification.  In order to communicate the PAPR
      hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
      to include/linux/kvm.h.
      
      Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
      (i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
      made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
      do one or the other.
      
      This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
      Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
      restriction.
      
      With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
      to the guest.  We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
      interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
      interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
      the guest.  Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
      exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
      to those exception handlers.
      
      We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
      hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
      interrupts, so we have to handle those.
      
      In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
      a limited amount.  Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
      and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
      We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
      anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
      We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
      kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
      so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.
      
      The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
      to be in the same partition.  MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
      (partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
      exit from the guest.  At present we require the host and guest to run
      in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.
      
      This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
      it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA).  We
      require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
      order to simplify the low-level memory management.  This also means that
      we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
      since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.
      
      This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

      of: Merge of_platform_bus_type with platform_bus_type · eca39301
      Grant Likely 提交于
      of_platform_bus was being used in the same manner as the platform_bus.
      The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated
      from data in the device tree, and platform_bus devices are usually
      statically allocated in platform code.  Having them separate causes
      the problem of device drivers having to be registered twice if it
      was possible for the same device to appear on either bus.
      
      This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform
      bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead.  A previous patch
      made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure,
      and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus.
      
      After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform
      drivers, the shim code can be removed.

      powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas · 1426d5a3
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
      each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
      allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
      waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.
      
      We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
      boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
      the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.
      
      The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
      but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
      unused pacas.

      percpu: make percpu symbols in powerpc unique · 6b7487fc
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch updates percpu related symbols in powerpc such that percpu
      symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.  This serves
      two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
      collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.
