This adds code to check that when the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability is used to enable or disable in-kernel handling of an hcall, that the hcall is actually implemented by the kernel. If not an EINVAL error is returned. This also checks the default-enabled list of hcalls and prints a warning if any hcall there is not actually implemented.

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 vcpu schedule, the condition checked for tlb pollution is too loose. The tlb entries of a vcpu become polluted (vs stale) only when a different vcpu within the same logical partition runs in-between. Optimize the tlb invalidation condition keeping last_vcpu per logical partition id. With the new invalidation condition, a guest shows 4% performance improvement on P5020DS while running a memory stress application with the cpu oversubscribed, the other guest running a cpu intensive workload.

When we're using PR KVM we must not allow the CPU to take interrupts in virtual mode, as the SLB does not contain host kernel mappings when running inside the guest context. To make sure we get good performance for non-KVM tasks but still properly functioning PR KVM, let's just disable AIL whenever a vcpu is scheduled in. This is fundamentally different from how we deal with AIL on pSeries type machines where we disable AIL for the whole machine as soon as a single KVM VM is up. The reason for that is easy - on pSeries we do not have control over per-cpu configuration of AIL. We also don't want to mess with CPU hotplug races and AIL configuration, so setting it per CPU is easier and more flexible. This patch fixes running PR KVM on POWER8 bare metal for me.

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.

On LPAR guest systems Linux enables the shadow SLB to indicate to the hypervisor a number of SLB entries that always have to be available. Today we go through this shadow SLB and disable all ESID's valid bits. However, pHyp doesn't like this approach very much and honors us with fancy machine checks. Fortunately the shadow SLB descriptor also has an entry that indicates the number of valid entries following. During the lifetime of a guest we can just swap that value to 0 and don't have to worry about the SLB restoration magic. While we're touching the code, let's also make it more readable (get rid of rldicl), allow it to deal with a dynamic number of bolted SLB entries and only do shadow SLB swizzling on LPAR systems.

This adds workarounds for two hardware bugs in the POWER8 performance monitor unit (PMU), both related to interrupt generation. The effect of these bugs is that PMU interrupts can get lost, leading to tools such as perf reporting fewer counts and samples than they should. The first bug relates to the PMAO (perf. mon. alert occurred) bit in MMCR0; setting it should cause an interrupt, but doesn't. The other bug relates to the PMAE (perf. mon. alert enable) bit in MMCR0. Setting PMAE when a counter is negative and counter negative conditions are enabled to cause alerts should cause an alert, but doesn't. The workaround for the first bug is to create conditions where a counter will overflow, whenever we are about to restore a MMCR0 value that has PMAO set (and PMAO_SYNC clear). The workaround for the second bug is to freeze all counters using MMCR2 before reading MMCR0. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Current, when testing whether a page is dirty (when constructing the bitmap for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl), we test the C (changed) bit in the HPT entries mapping the page, and if it is 0, we consider the page to be clean. However, the Power ISA doesn't require processors to set the C bit to 1 immediately when writing to a page, and in fact allows them to delay the writeback of the C bit until they receive a TLB invalidation for the page. Thus it is possible that the page could be dirty and we miss it. Now, if there are vcpus running, this is not serious since the collection of the dirty log is racy already - some vcpu could dirty the page just after we check it. But if there are no vcpus running we should return definitive results, in case we are in the final phase of migrating the guest. Also, if the permission bits in the HPTE don't allow writing, then we know that no CPU can set C. If the HPTE was previously writable and the page was modified, any C bit writeback would have been flushed out by the tlbie that we did when changing the HPTE to read-only. Otherwise we need to do a TLB invalidation even if the C bit is 0, and then check the C bit. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

The dirty map that we construct for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl has one bit per system page (4K/64K). Currently, we only set one bit in the map for each HPT entry with the Change bit set, even if the HPT is for a large page (e.g., 16MB). Userspace then considers only the first system page dirty, though in fact the guest may have modified anywhere in the large page. To fix this, we make kvm_test_clear_dirty() return the actual number of pages that are dirty (and rename it to kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages() to emphasize that that's what it returns). In kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() we then set that many bits in the dirty map.

Currently, when a huge page is faulted in for a guest, we select the rmap chain to insert the HPTE into based on the guest physical address that the guest tried to access. Since there is an rmap chain for each system page, there are many rmap chains for the area covered by a huge page (e.g. 256 for 16MB pages when PAGE_SIZE = 64kB), and the huge-page HPTE could end up in any one of them. For consistency, and to make the huge-page HPTEs easier to find, we now put huge-page HPTEs in the rmap chain corresponding to the base address of the huge page.

The global_invalidates() function contains a check that is intended to tell whether we are currently executing in the context of a hypercall issued by the guest. The reason is that the optimization of using a local TLB invalidate instruction is only valid in that context. The check was testing local_paca->kvm_hstate.kvm_vcore, which gets set when entering the guest but no longer gets cleared when exiting the guest. To fix this, we use the kvm_vcpu field instead, which does get cleared when exiting the guest, by the kvmppc_release_hwthread() calls inside kvmppc_run_core(). The effect of having the check wrong was that when kvmppc_do_h_remove() got called from htab_write() on the destination machine during a migration, it cleared the current cpu's bit in kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush. This meant that when the guest started running in the destination VM, it may miss out on doing a complete TLB flush, and therefore may end up using stale TLB entries from a previous guest that used the same LPID value. This should make migration more reliable. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

We worked around some nasty KVM magic page hcall breakages: 1) NX bit not honored, so ignore NX when we detect it 2) LE guests swizzle hypercall instruction Without these fixes in place, there's no way it would make sense to expose kvm hypercalls to a guest. Chances are immensely high it would trip over and break. So add a new CAP that gives user space a hint that we have workarounds for the bugs above in place. It can use those as hint to disable PV hypercalls when the guest CPU is anything POWER7 or higher and the host does not have fixes in place. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

When we reset the in-kernel MPIC controller, we forget to reset some hidden state such as destmask and output. This state is usually set when the guest writes to the IDR register for a specific IRQ line. To make sure we stay in sync and don't forget hidden state, treat reset of the IDR register as a simple write of the IDR register. That automatically updates all the hidden state as well.

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.

Today when KVM tries to reserve memory for the hash page table it allocates from the normal page allocator first. If that fails it falls back to CMA's reserved region. One of the side effects of this is that we could end up exhausting the page allocator and get linux into OOM conditions while we still have plenty of space available in CMA. This patch addresses this issue by first trying hash page table allocation from CMA's reserved region before falling back to the normal page allocator. So if we run out of memory, we really are out of memory. Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

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.
