      KVM: PPC: booke: category E.HV (GS-mode) support · d30f6e48
      Scott Wood 提交于
      Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06
      provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for
      guest state.  The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping
      into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace.
      
      Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from
      guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly
      to book3s.
      
      Current issues include:
       - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler.
       - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction
         in a page that lacks read permission.  Existing e500/4xx support has
         the same problem.
