The flush_tlb hook in cpu_spec was introduced as a generic function hook to invalidate TLBs. But the current implementation of flush_tlb hook takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture dependent. Hence, It is not right to have a generic routine where caller has to pass non-generic argument. This patch fixes this and makes flush_tlb hook as high level API.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work on PPC970 processors. The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't support virtualizing guest memory. Removing PPC970 support also lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode. Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors. The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.

There are a few shared data structures between the host and the guest. Most of them get registered through the VPA interface. These data structures are defined to always be in big endian byte order, so let's make sure we always access them in big endian. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Currently we forward MCEs to guest which have been recovered by guest. And for unhandled errors we do not deliver the MCE to guest. It looks like with no support of FWNMI in qemu, guest just panics whenever we deliver the recovered MCEs to guest. Also, the existig code used to return to host for unhandled errors which was casuing guest to hang with soft lockups inside guest and makes it difficult to recover guest instance. This patch now forwards all fatal MCEs to guest causing guest to crash/panic. And, for recovered errors we just go back to normal functioning of guest instead of returning to host. This fixes soft lockup issues in guest. This patch also fixes an issue where guest MCE events were not logged to host console.

Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full MCE information. We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have our MCE information safe on current stack. We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot (index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler. This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event() generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking release_mce_event(). This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt. The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so that event is available for linus host machine If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error. If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

This patch introduces flush_tlb operation in cpu_spec structure. This will help us to invoke appropriate CPU-side flush tlb routine. This patch adds the foundation to invoke CPU specific flush routine for respective architectures. Currently this patch introduce flush_tlb for p7 and p8.

Currently, if a machine check interrupt happens while we are in the guest, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler, which tends to cause the host to panic. Some machine checks can be triggered by the guest; for example, if the guest creates two entries in the SLB that map the same effective address, and then accesses that effective address, the CPU will take a machine check interrupt. To handle this better, when a machine check happens inside the guest, we call a new function, kvmppc_realmode_machine_check(), while still in real mode before exiting the guest. On POWER7, it handles the cases that the guest can trigger, either by flushing and reloading the SLB, or by flushing the TLB, and then it delivers the machine check interrupt directly to the guest without going back to the host. On POWER7, the OPAL firmware patches the machine check interrupt vector so that it gets control first, and it leaves behind its analysis of the situation in a structure pointed to by the opal_mc_evt field of the paca. The kvmppc_realmode_machine_check() function looks at this, and if OPAL reports that there was no error, or that it has handled the error, we also go straight back to the guest with a machine check. We have to deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1. If the machine check is one we can't handle in real mode, and one that OPAL hasn't already handled, or on PPC970, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler. We do this by jumping to the machine_check_fwnmi label, rather than absolute address 0x200, because we don't want to re-execute OPAL's handler on POWER7. On PPC970, the two are equivalent because address 0x200 just contains a branch. Then, if the host machine check handler decides that the system can continue executing, kvmppc_handle_exit() delivers a machine check interrupt to the guest -- once again to let the guest know that SRR0/1 have been modified.
