POWER8 introduces a new facility called the "Event Based Branch" facility. It contains of a few registers that indicate where a guest should branch to when a defined event occurs and it's in PR mode. We don't want to really enable EBB as it will create a big mess with !PR guest mode while hardware is in PR and we don't really emulate the PMU anyway. So instead, let's just leave it at emulation of all its registers. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce the number of exits we have to take to read/write them. When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with native endian load/store operations. Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv. For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest. For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline functions that evaluate this variable.

I noticed KVM is broken when KVM in-kernel XICS emulation (CONFIG_KVM_XICS) is disabled. The problem was introduced in 48eaef05 (KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: use xics_wake_cpu only when defined).

When the guest does an MMIO write which is handled successfully by an ioeventfd, ioeventfd_write() returns 0 (success) and kvmppc_handle_store() returns EMULATE_DONE. Then kvmppc_emulate_mmio() converts EMULATE_DONE to RESUME_GUEST_NV and this causes an exit from the loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), causing an exit back to userspace with a bogus exit reason code, typically causing userspace (e.g. qemu) to crash with a message about an unknown exit code. This adds handling of RESUME_GUEST_NV in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv() in order to fix that. For generality, we define a helper to check for either of the return-to-guest codes we use, RESUME_GUEST and RESUME_GUEST_NV, to make it easy to check for either and provide one place to update if any other return-to-guest code gets defined in future. Since it only affects Book3S HV for now, the helper is added to the kvm_book3s.h header file. We use the helper in two places in kvmppc_run_core() as well for future-proofing, though we don't see RESUME_GUEST_NV in either place at present.

We create a guest MSR from scratch when delivering exceptions in a few places. Instead of extracting LPCR[ILE] and inserting it into MSR_LE each time, we simply create a new variable intr_msr which contains the entire MSR to use. For a little-endian guest, userspace needs to set the ILE (interrupt little-endian) bit in the LPCR for each vcpu (or at least one vcpu in each virtual core).

The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user, kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest. This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX. PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface. For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add "hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set DABRX_BTI. The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR. For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values on POWER8. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

On a threaded processor such as POWER7, we group VCPUs into virtual cores and arrange that the VCPUs in a virtual core run on the same physical core. Currently we don't enforce any correspondence between virtual thread numbers within a virtual core and physical thread numbers. Physical threads are allocated starting at 0 on a first-come first-served basis to runnable virtual threads (VCPUs). POWER8 implements a new "msgsndp" instruction which guest kernels can use to interrupt other threads in the same core or sub-core. Since the instruction takes the destination physical thread ID as a parameter, it becomes necessary to align the physical thread IDs with the virtual thread IDs, that is, to make sure virtual thread N within a virtual core always runs on physical thread N. This means that it's possible that thread 0, which is where we call __kvmppc_vcore_entry, may end up running some other vcpu than the one whose task called kvmppc_run_core(), or it may end up running no vcpu at all, if for example thread 0 of the virtual core is currently executing in userspace. However, we do need thread 0 to be responsible for switching the MMU -- a previous version of this patch that had other threads switching the MMU was found to be responsible for occasional memory corruption and machine check interrupts in the guest on POWER7 machines. To accommodate this, we no longer pass the vcpu pointer to __kvmppc_vcore_entry, but instead let the assembly code load it from the PACA. Since the assembly code will need to know the kvm pointer and the thread ID for threads which don't have a vcpu, we move the thread ID into the PACA and we add a kvm pointer to the virtual core structure. In the case where thread 0 has no vcpu to run, it still calls into kvmppc_hv_entry in order to do the MMU switch, and then naps until either its vcpu is ready to run in the guest, or some other thread needs to exit the guest. In the latter case, thread 0 jumps to the code that switches the MMU back to the host. This control flow means that now we switch the MMU before loading any guest vcpu state. Similarly, on guest exit we now save all the guest vcpu state before switching the MMU back to the host. This has required substantial code movement, making the diff rather large.

This help us to identify whether we are running with hypervisor mode KVM enabled. The change is needed so that we can have both HV and PR kvm enabled in the same kernel. If both HV and PR KVM are included, interrupts come in to the HV version of the kvmppc_interrupt code, which then jumps to the PR handler, renamed to kvmppc_interrupt_pr, if the guest is a PR guest. Allowing both PR and HV in the same kernel required some changes to kvm_dev_ioctl_check_extension(), since the values returned now can't be selected with #ifdefs as much as previously. We look at is_hv_enabled to return the right value when checking for capabilities.For capabilities that are only provided by HV KVM, we return the HV value only if is_hv_enabled is true. For capabilities provided by PR KVM but not HV, we return the PR value only if is_hv_enabled is false.

This enables us to use the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) on POWER7 to put the processor into architecture 2.05 compatibility mode when running a guest. In this mode the new instructions and registers that were introduced on POWER7 are disabled in user mode. This includes all the VSX facilities plus several other instructions such as ldbrx, stdbrx, popcntw, popcntd, etc. To select this mode, we have a new register accessible through the set/get_one_reg interface, called KVM_REG_PPC_ARCH_COMPAT. Setting this to zero gives the full set of capabilities of the processor. Setting it to one of the "logical" PVR values defined in PAPR puts the vcpu into the compatibility mode for the corresponding architecture level. The supported values are: 0x0f000002 Architecture 2.05 (POWER6) 0x0f000003 Architecture 2.06 (POWER7) 0x0f100003 Architecture 2.06+ (POWER7+) Since the PCR is per-core, the architecture compatibility level and the corresponding PCR value are stored in the struct kvmppc_vcore, and are therefore shared between all vcpus in a virtual core.

POWER7 and later IBM server processors have a register called the Program Priority Register (PPR), which controls the priority of each hardware CPU SMT thread, and affects how fast it runs compared to other SMT threads. This priority can be controlled by writing to the PPR or by use of a set of instructions of the form or rN,rN,rN which are otherwise no-ops but have been defined to set the priority to particular levels. This adds code to context switch the PPR when entering and exiting guests and to make the PPR value accessible through the SET/GET_ONE_REG interface. When entering the guest, we set the PPR as late as possible, because if we are setting a low thread priority it will make the code run slowly from that point on. Similarly, the first-level interrupt handlers save the PPR value in the PACA very early on, and set the thread priority to the medium level, so that the interrupt handling code runs at a reasonable speed.

This adds the ability to have a separate LPCR (Logical Partitioning Control Register) value relating to a guest for each virtual core, rather than only having a single value for the whole VM. This corresponds to what real POWER hardware does, where there is a LPCR per CPU thread but most of the fields are required to have the same value on all active threads in a core. The per-virtual-core LPCR can be read and written using the GET/SET_ONE_REG interface. Userspace can can only modify the following fields of the LPCR value: DPFD Default prefetch depth ILE Interrupt little-endian TC Translation control (secondary HPT hash group search disable) We still maintain a per-VM default LPCR value in kvm->arch.lpcr, which contains bits relating to memory management, i.e. the Virtualized Partition Memory (VPM) bits and the bits relating to guest real mode. When this default value is updated, the update needs to be propagated to the per-vcore values, so we add a kvmppc_update_lpcr() helper to do that.

The H_CONFER hypercall is used when a guest vcpu is spinning on a lock held by another vcpu which has been preempted, and the spinning vcpu wishes to give its timeslice to the lock holder. We implement this in the straightforward way using kvm_vcpu_yield_to(). Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This allows guests to have a different timebase origin from the host. This is needed for migration, where a guest can migrate from one host to another and the two hosts might have a different timebase origin. However, the timebase seen by the guest must not go backwards, and should go forwards only by a small amount corresponding to the time taken for the migration. Therefore this provides a new per-vcpu value accessed via the one_reg interface using the new KVM_REG_PPC_TB_OFFSET identifier. This value defaults to 0 and is not modified by KVM. On entering the guest, this value is added onto the timebase, and on exiting the guest, it is subtracted from the timebase. This is only supported for recent POWER hardware which has the TBU40 (timebase upper 40 bits) register. Writing to the TBU40 register only alters the upper 40 bits of the timebase, leaving the lower 24 bits unchanged. This provides a way to modify the timebase for guest migration without disturbing the synchronization of the timebase registers across CPU cores. The kernel rounds up the value given to a multiple of 2^24. Timebase values stored in KVM structures (struct kvm_vcpu, struct kvmppc_vcore, etc.) are stored as host timebase values. The timebase values in the dispatch trace log need to be guest timebase values, however, since that is read directly by the guest. This moves the setting of vcpu->arch.dec_expires on guest exit to a point after we have restored the host timebase so that vcpu->arch.dec_expires is a host timebase value.

Currently we are not saving and restoring the SIAR and SDAR registers in the PMU (performance monitor unit) on guest entry and exit. The result is that performance monitoring tools in the guest could get false information about where a program was executing and what data it was accessing at the time of a performance monitor interrupt. This fixes it by saving and restoring these registers along with the other PMU registers on guest entry/exit. This also provides a way for userspace to access these values for a vcpu via the one_reg interface. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

'rmls' is 'unsigned long', lpcr_rmls() will return negative number when failure occurs, so it need a type cast for comparing. 'lpid' is 'unsigned long', kvmppc_alloc_lpid() return negative number when failure occurs, so it need a type cast for comparing.

KVM uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part of some of its ioctls. But those ioctls are lacking a flag argument allowing userspace to choose options for the newly opened file descriptor. In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor is going to be inherited across exec(). This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on all file descriptors created with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().
