This patch adds kernel side support for software breakpoint. Design is that, by using an illegal instruction, we trap to hypervisor via Emulation Assistance interrupt, where we check for the illegal instruction and accordingly we return to Host or Guest. Patch also adds support for software breakpoint in PR KVM. Signed-off-by: NMadhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Since the guest can read the machine's PVR (Processor Version Register) directly and see the real value, we should disallow userspace from setting any value for the guest's PVR other than the real host value. Therefore this makes kvm_arch_vcpu_set_sregs_hv() check the supplied PVR value and return an error if it is different from the host value, which has been put into vcpu->arch.pvr at vcpu creation time.

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing to a SPR. The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register: - starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents - 32kb for L2 - 128kb for L2+L3 - Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb) - Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout) We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one. To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter: - starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements) - table size (no data, until end of table) - prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or 32 cycles) The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on a physical CPU. The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits, so we just generate needless memory operations. This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves to be useful. Benchmark 1: - 16 core POWER8 - 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each - No split core/SMT - two guests running sysbench memory test. sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run - one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page) ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/ This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache) where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop. In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%). The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged. benchmark 2: - Same VM config as benchmark 1 - all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait many times for cachelines to be pulled in) The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest. benchmark 3: - same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2. - two idle guests - 1 guest running STREAM benchmark This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more). benchmark 4: - same 3 guests as previous benchmarks - two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy workload - one guest running STREAM benchmark. Similar improvements to benchmark 3. benchmark 5: - 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04 - Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4) - STREAM benchmark In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the one_reg interface. This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the upper 32 bits. The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which reduces performance in the guest. We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID, since that would break existing userspace binaries. Instead we define a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit. Userspace can still use the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL). If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD as well.

This adds support for the H_SET_MODE hcall. This hcall is a multiplexer that has several functions, some of which are called rarely, and some which are potentially called very frequently. Here we add support for the functions that set the debug registers CIABR (Completed Instruction Address Breakpoint Register) and DAWR/DAWRX (Data Address Watchpoint Register and eXtension), since they could be updated by the guest as often as every context switch. This also adds a kvmppc_power8_compatible() function to test to see if a guest is compatible with POWER8 or not. The CIABR and DAWR/X only exist on POWER8.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers. Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM. The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM. The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM capability advertises that this ability exists. When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the default set without a good reason. No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall implementations; the one setting controls them both.

On recent IBM Power CPUs, while the hashed page table is looked up using the page size from the segmentation hardware (i.e. the SLB), it is possible to have the HPT entry indicate a larger page size. Thus for example it is possible to put a 16MB page in a 64kB segment, but since the hash lookup is done using a 64kB page size, it may be necessary to put multiple entries in the HPT for a single 16MB page. This capability is called mixed page-size segment (MPSS). With MPSS, there are two relevant page sizes: the base page size, which is the size used in searching the HPT, and the actual page size, which is the size indicated in the HPT entry. [ Note that the actual page size is always >= base page size ]. We use "ibm,segment-page-sizes" device tree node to advertise the MPSS support to PAPR guest. The penc encoding indicates whether we support a specific combination of base page size and actual page size in the same segment. We also use the penc value in the LP encoding of HPTE entry. This patch exposes MPSS support to KVM guest by advertising the feature via "ibm,segment-page-sizes". It also adds the necessary changes to decode the base page size and the actual page size correctly from the HPTE entry.

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.

To support split core on POWER8 we need to modify various parts of the KVM code to use threads_per_subcore instead of threads_per_core. On systems that do not support split core threads_per_subcore == threads_per_core and these changes are a nop. We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT. This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split core mode. Although threads_per_subcore can change during the life of the system, the commit that enables that will ensure that threads_per_subcore does not change during the life of a KVM VM.

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.

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.

Lockdep reported that there is a potential for deadlock because vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock is not irq-safe, and is sometimes taken inside the rq_lock (run-queue lock) in the scheduler, which is taken within interrupts. The lockdep splat looks like: ====================================================== [ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ] 3.12.0-rc5-kvm+ #8 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ qemu-system-ppc/4803 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire: (&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){+.+...}, at: [<c0000000000947ac>] .kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_hv+0x2c/0xa0 and this task is already holding: (&rq->lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<c000000000ac16c0>] .__schedule+0x180/0xaa0 which would create a new lock dependency: (&rq->lock){-.-.-.} -> (&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){+.+...} but this new dependency connects a HARDIRQ-irq-safe lock: (&rq->lock){-.-.-.} ... which became HARDIRQ-irq-safe at: [<c00000000013797c>] .lock_acquire+0xbc/0x190 [<c000000000ac3c74>] ._raw_spin_lock+0x34/0x60 [<c0000000000f8564>] .scheduler_tick+0x54/0x180 [<c0000000000c2610>] .update_process_times+0x70/0xa0 [<c00000000012cdfc>] .tick_periodic+0x3c/0xe0 [<c00000000012cec8>] .tick_handle_periodic+0x28/0xb0 [<c00000000001ef40>] .timer_interrupt+0x120/0x2e0 [<c000000000002868>] decrementer_common+0x168/0x180 [<c0000000001c7ca4>] .get_page_from_freelist+0x924/0xc10 [<c0000000001c8e00>] .__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x200/0xba0 [<c0000000001c9eb8>] .alloc_pages_exact_nid+0x68/0x110 [<c000000000f4c3ec>] .page_cgroup_init+0x1e0/0x270 [<c000000000f24480>] .start_kernel+0x3e0/0x4e4 [<c000000000009d30>] .start_here_common+0x20/0x70 to a HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe lock: (&(&vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock)->rlock){+.+...} ... which became HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe at: ...

This fixes the problem by making tbacct_lock be irq-safe. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
