      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix some races in starting secondary threads · 7b444c67
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Subsequent patches implementing in-kernel XICS emulation will make it
      possible for IPIs to arrive at secondary threads at arbitrary times.
      This fixes some races in how we start the secondary threads, which
      if not fixed could lead to occasional crashes of the host kernel.
      
      This makes sure that (a) we have grabbed all the secondary threads,
      and verified that they are no longer in the kernel, before we start
      any thread, (b) that the secondary thread loads its vcpu pointer
      after clearing the IPI that woke it up (so we don't miss a wakeup),
      and (c) that the secondary thread clears its vcpu pointer before
      incrementing the nap count.  It also removes unnecessary setting
      of the vcpu and vcore pointers in the paca in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM guests to stop secondary threads coming online · 512691d4
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in
      single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of
      the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one
      active hardware thread.  This is because of the hardware restriction
      in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core
      must be in the same logical partition.  Complying with this restriction
      is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one
      hardware thread is active.
      
      This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to
      make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than
      thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists.  The KVM
      code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the
      secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be
      sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

      PPC: ePAPR: Convert header to uapi · c99ec973
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      The new uapi framework splits kernel internal and user space exported
      bits of header files more cleanly. Adjust the ePAPR header accordingly.

      KVM: PPC: Move mtspr/mfspr emulation into own functions · 388cf9ee
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      The mtspr/mfspr emulation code became quite big over time. Move it
      into its own function so things stay more readable.

      KVM: PPC: 44x: fix DCR read/write · e43a0287
      Alexander Graf 提交于
      When remembering the direction of a DCR transaction, we should write
      to the same variable that we interpret on later when doing vcpu_run
      again.
