Some CPUs (such as e500v1/v2) don't implement mftb and will take a trap. mfspr should work on everything that has a timebase, and is the preferred instruction according to ISA v2.06. Currently we get away with mftb on 85xx because the assembler converts it to mfspr due to -Wa,-me500. However, that flag has other effects that are undesireable for certain targets (e.g. lwsync is converted to sync), and is hostile to multiplatform kernels. Thus we would like to stop setting it for all e500-family builds. mftb/mftbu instances which are in 85xx code or common code are converted. Instances which will never run on 85xx are left alone.

Erratum A-006598 says that 64-bit mftb is not atomic -- it's subject to a similar race condition as doing mftbu/mftbl on 32-bit. The lower half of timebase is updated before the upper half; thus, we can share the workaround for a similar bug on Cell. This workaround involves looping if the lower half of timebase is zero, thus avoiding the need for a scratch register (other than CR0). This workaround must be avoided when the timebase is frozen, such as during the timebase sync code. This deals with kernel and vdso accesses, but other userspace accesses will of course need to be fixed elsewhere. Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

Add support for EBB (Event Based Branches) on 64-bit book3s. See the included documentation for more details. EBBs are a feature which allows the hardware to branch directly to a specified user space address when a PMU event overflows. This can be used by programs for self-monitoring with no kernel involvement in the inner loop. Most of the logic is in the generic book3s code, primarily to avoid a proliferation of PMU callbacks.

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.

This streamlines our handling of external interrupts that come in while we're in the guest. First, when waking up a hardware thread that was napping, we split off the "napping due to H_CEDE" case earlier, and use the code that handles an external interrupt (0x500) in the guest to handle that too. Secondly, the code that handles those external interrupts now checks if any other thread is exiting to the host before bouncing an external interrupt to the guest, and also checks that there is actually an external interrupt pending for the guest before setting the LPCR MER bit (mediated external request). This also makes sure that we clear the "ceded" flag when we handle a wakeup from cede in real mode, and fixes a potential infinite loop in kvmppc_run_vcpu() which can occur if we ever end up with the ceded flag set but MSR[EE] off.

This is a rewrite so that we don't assume we are using the DABR throughout the code. We now use the arch_hw_breakpoint to store the breakpoint in a generic manner in the thread_struct, rather than storing the raw DABR value. The ptrace GET/SET_DEBUGREG interface currently passes the raw DABR in from userspace. We keep this functionality, so that future changes (like the POWER8 DAWR), will still fake the DABR to userspace.

This fixes various issues in how we were handling the VSX registers that exist on POWER7 machines. First, we were running off the end of the current->thread.fpr[] array. Ultimately this was because the vcpu->arch.vsr[] array is sized to be able to store both the FP registers and the extra VSX registers (i.e. 64 entries), but PR KVM only uses it for the extra VSX registers (i.e. 32 entries). Secondly, calling load_up_vsx() from C code is a really bad idea, because it jumps to fast_exception_return at the end, rather than returning with a blr instruction. This was causing it to jump off to a random location with random register contents, since it was using the largely uninitialized stack frame created by kvmppc_load_up_vsx. In fact, it isn't necessary to call either __giveup_vsx or load_up_vsx, since giveup_fpu and load_up_fpu handle the extra VSX registers as well as the standard FP registers on machines with VSX. Also, since VSX instructions can access the VMX registers and the FP registers as well as the extra VSX registers, we have to load up the FP and VMX registers before we can turn on the MSR_VSX bit for the guest. Conversely, if we save away any of the VSX or FP registers, we have to turn off MSR_VSX for the guest. To handle all this, it is more convenient for a single call to kvmppc_giveup_ext() to handle all the state saving that needs to be done, so we make it take a set of MSR bits rather than just one, and the switch statement becomes a series of if statements. Similarly kvmppc_handle_ext needs to be able to load up more than one set of registers. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+ On POWER7+ two new bits (mmcra[35] and mmcra[36]) indicate whether the contents of SIAR and SDAR are valid. For marked instructions on P7+, we must save the contents of SIAR and SDAR registers only if these new bits are set. This code/check for the SIAR-Valid bit is specific to P7+, so rather than waste a CPU-feature bit use the PVR flag.

On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor (HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run.

Embedded.Hypervisor category defines GSPRG0..3 physical registers for guests. Avoid SPRG4-7 usage as scratch in host exception handlers, otherwise guest SPRG4-7 registers will be clobbered. For bolted TLB miss exception handlers, which is the version currently supported by KVM, use SPRN_SPRG_GEN_SCRATCH aka SPRG0 instead of SPRN_SPRG_TLB_SCRATCH aka SPRG6. Keep using TLB PACA slots to fit in one 64-byte cache line. For critical exception handlers use SPRG3 instead of SPRG7. Provide a routine to store and restore user-visible SPRGs. This will be subsequently used to restore VDSO information in SPRG3. Add EX_R13 to paca slots to free up SPRG3 and change the critical exception epilog to use it.
