On Book3s_32 the tlbie instruction flushed effective addresses by the mask 0x0ffff000. This is pretty hard to reflect with a hash that hashes ~0xfff, so to speed up that target we should also keep a special hash around for it.

So far we've been running all code without locking of any sort. This wasn't really an issue because I didn't see any parallel access to the shadow MMU code coming. But then I started to implement dirty bitmapping to MOL which has the video code in its own thread, so suddenly we had the dirty bitmap code run in parallel to the shadow mmu code. And with that came trouble. So I went ahead and made the MMU modifying functions as parallelizable as I could think of. I hope I didn't screw up too much RCU logic :-). If you know your way around RCU and locking and what needs to be done when, please take a look at this patch.

We need to tell the guest the opcodes that make up a hypercall through interfaces that are controlled by userspace. So we need to add a call for userspace to allow it to query those opcodes so it can pass them on. This is required because the hypercall opcodes can change based on the hypervisor conditions. If we're running in hardware accelerated hypervisor mode, a hypercall looks different from when we're running without hardware acceleration.

On BookE the preferred way to write the EE bit is the wrteei instruction. It already encodes the EE bit in the instruction. So in order to get BookE some speedups as well, let's also PV'nize thati instruction. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

There is also a form of mtmsr where all bits need to be addressed. While the PPC64 Linux kernel behaves resonably well here, on PPC32 we do not have an L=1 form. It does mtmsr even for simple things like only changing EE. So we need to hook into that one as well and check for a mask of bits that we deem safe to change from within guest context.

The PowerPC ISA has a special instruction for mtmsr that only changes the EE and RI bits, namely the L=1 form. Since that one is reasonably often occuring and simple to implement, let's go with this first. Writing EE=0 is always just a store. Doing EE=1 also requires us to check for pending interrupts and if necessary exit back to the hypervisor. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

When we hook an instruction we need to make sure we don't clobber any of the registers at that point. So we write them out to scratch space in the magic page. To make sure we don't fall into a race with another piece of hooked code, we need to disable interrupts. To make the later patches and code in general easier readable, let's introduce a set of defines that save and restore r30, r31 and cr. Let's also define some helpers to read the lower 32 bits of a 64 bit field on 32 bit systems. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

We will soon require more sophisticated methods to replace single instructions with multiple instructions. We do that by branching to a memory region where we write replacement code for the instruction to. This region needs to be within 32 MB of the patched instruction though, because that's the furthest we can jump with immediate branches. So we keep 1MB of free space around in bss. After we're done initing we can just tell the mm system that the unused pages are free, but until then we have enough space to fit all our code in.

We need to override EA as well as PA lookups for the magic page. When the guest tells us to project it, the magic page overrides any guest mappings.

On PowerPC it's very normal to not support all of the physical RAM in real mode.

When the guest turns on interrupts again, it needs to know if we have an interrupt pending for it. Because if so, it should rather get out of guest context and get the interrupt.

When running in hooked code we need a way to disable interrupts without clobbering any interrupts or exiting out to the hypervisor. To achieve this, we have an additional critical field in the shared page. If that field is equal to the r1 register of the guest, it tells the hypervisor that we're in such a critical section and thus may not receive any interrupts.

To communicate with KVM directly we need to plumb some sort of interface between the guest and KVM. Usually those interfaces use hypercalls.

The SRR0 and SRR1 registers contain cached values of the PC and MSR respectively. They get written to by the hypervisor when an interrupt occurs or directly by the kernel. They are also used to tell the rfi(d) instruction where to jump to. Because it only gets touched on defined events that, it's very simple to share with the guest. Hypervisor and guest both have full r/w access. This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to toggle in critical sections. So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

Make sigreturn zero regs->trap, make do_signal() do the same on all paths. As it is, signal interrupting e.g. read() from fd 512 (== ERESTARTSYS) with another signal getting unblocked when the first handler finishes will lead to restart one insn earlier than it ought to.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

The dlpar code can cause a deadlock to occur when making the RTAS configure-connector call. This occurs because we make kmalloc calls, which can block, while parsing the rtas_data_buf and holding the rtas_data_buf_lock. This an cause issues if someone else attempts to grab the rtas_data_bug_lock. This patch alleviates this issue by copying the contents of the rtas_data_buf to a local buffer before parsing. This allows us to only hold the rtas_data_buf_lock around the RTAS configure-connector calls.
