It turns out that if we exit the guest due to a hcall instruction (sc 1), and the loading of the instruction in the guest exit path fails for any reason, the call to kvmppc_ld() in kvmppc_get_last_inst() fetches the instruction after the hcall instruction rather than the hcall itself. This in turn means that the instruction doesn't get recognized as an hcall in kvmppc_handle_exit_pr() but gets passed to the guest kernel as a sc instruction. That usually results in the guest kernel getting a return code of 38 (ENOSYS) from an hcall, which often triggers a BUG_ON() or other failure. This fixes the problem by adding a new variant of kvmppc_get_last_inst() called kvmppc_get_last_sc(), which fetches the instruction if necessary from pc - 4 rather than pc.

Currently this is only being done on 64-bit. Rather than just move it out of the 64-bit ifdef, move it to kvm_lazy_ee_enable() so that it is consistent with lazy ee state, and so that we don't track more host code as interrupts-enabled than necessary. Rename kvm_lazy_ee_enable() to kvm_fix_ee_before_entry() to reflect that this function now has a role on 32-bit as well.

This corrects the usage of the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry) instruction in HV KVM. The tlbie instruction changed between PPC970 and POWER7. On the PPC970, the bit to select large vs. small page is in the instruction, not in the RB register value. This changes the code to use the correct form on PPC970. On POWER7 we were calculating the AVAL (Abbreviated Virtual Address, Lower) field of the RB value incorrectly for 64k pages. This fixes it. Since we now have several cases to handle for the tlbie instruction, this factors out the code to do a sequence of tlbies into a new function, do_tlbies(), and calls that from the various places where the code was doing tlbie instructions inline. It also makes kvmppc_h_bulk_remove() use the same global_invalidates() function for determining whether to do local or global TLB invalidations as is used in other places, for consistency, and also to make sure that kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush gets updated properly.

Powerpc architecture uses a hash based page table mechanism for mapping virtual addresses to physical address. The architecture require this hash page table to be physically contiguous. With KVM on Powerpc currently we use early reservation mechanism for allocating guest hash page table. This implies that we need to reserve a big memory region to ensure we can create large number of guest simultaneously with KVM on Power. Another disadvantage is that the reserved memory is not available to rest of the subsystems and and that implies we limit the total available memory in the host. This patch series switch the guest hash page table allocation to use contiguous memory allocator.

With this, the guest can use 1TB segments as well as 256MB segments. Since we now have the situation where a single emulated guest segment could correspond to multiple shadow segments (as the shadow segments are still 256MB segments), this adds a new kvmppc_mmu_flush_segment() to scan for all shadow segments that need to be removed. This restructures the guest HPT (hashed page table) lookup code to use the correct hashing and matching functions for HPTEs within a 1TB segment. We use the standard hpt_hash() function instead of open-coding the hash calculation, and we use HPTE_V_COMPARE() with an AVPN value that has the B (segment size) field included. The calculation of avpn is done a little earlier since it doesn't change in the loop starting at the do_second label. The computation in kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_esid_to_vsid() changes so that it returns a 256MB VSID even if the guest SLB entry is a 1TB entry. This is because the users of this function are creating 256MB SLB entries. We set a new VSID_1T flag so that entries created from 1T segments don't collide with entries from 256MB segments.

This will allow me to call functions that have multiple arguments if fastpath fails. This is required to support ticket mutexes, because they need to be able to pass an extra argument to the fail function. Originally I duplicated the functions, by adding __mutex_fastpath_lock_retval_arg. This ended up being just a duplication of the existing function, so a way to test if fastpath was called ended up being better. This also cleaned up the reservation mutex patch some by being able to call an atomic_set instead of atomic_xchg, and making it easier to detect if the wrong unlock function was previously used.

At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag may be out of sync. This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer exception, and recurse. The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to call local_irq_save/restore(). Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary overhead.

When introducing support for DABRX in 4474ef05, we broke older 32-bit CPUs that don't have that register. Some CPUs have a DABR but not DABRX. Configuration are: - No 32bit CPUs have DABRX but some have DABR. - POWER4+ and below have the DABR but no DABRX. - 970 and POWER5 and above have DABR and DABRX. - POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX. This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs. We use the top 64 bits for CPU FTR bits since only 64 bit CPUs have this. Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall back to software filtering these breakpoints via perf_exclude_event().

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code. These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in future.

When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin. The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be valid anymore. To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the signal will be rolled back anyway. For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to userspace for the hardware to rollback. We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the kernel will operate in the same suspend context. This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the persistent error to the user.

The PCI core supports an offset per aperture nowadays but our arch code still has a single offset per host bridge representing the difference betwen CPU memory addresses and PCI MMIO addresses. This is a problem as new machines and hypervisor versions are coming out where the 64-bit windows will have a different offset (basically mapped 1:1) from the 32-bit windows. This fixes it by using separate offsets. In the long run, we probably want to get rid of that intermediary struct pci_controller and have those directly stored into the pci_host_bridge as they are parsed but this will be a more invasive change.

A simple test was created to verify the fix: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/user_dscr_test.c Without the patch we get a SIGILL and it passes with the patch.

This adds the API for userspace to instantiate an XICS device in a VM and connect VCPUs to it. The API consists of a new device type for the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, a new capability KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS, which functions similarly to KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPIC, and the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which is used to assert and deassert interrupt inputs of the XICS. The XICS device has one attribute group, KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES. Each attribute within this group corresponds to the state of one interrupt source. The attribute number is the same as the interrupt source number. This does not support irq routing or irqfd yet.

We moved the definition of shift_to_mmu_psize and mmu_psize_to_shift out of hugetlbpage.c in patch "powerpc: New hugepage directory format". These functions are not related to hugetlbpage and we want to use them outside hugetlbpage.c We missed a definition for book3e when we moved these functions. Add similar functions to mmu-book3e.h Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
