The idea is from Avi:
| We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and
| checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or
| ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to
| search the slot list/tree.
| (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221)
When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page
table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio
is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly
Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it
can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for
soft mmu.

This patch makes update_rq_clock() aware of steal time.
The mechanism of operation is not different from irq_time,
and follows the same principles. This lives in a CONFIG
option itself, and can be compiled out independently of
the rest of steal time reporting. The effect of disabling it
is that the scheduler will still report steal time (that cannot be
disabled), but won't use this information for cpu power adjustments.
Everytime update_rq_clock_task() is invoked, we query information
about how much time was stolen since last call, and feed it into
sched_rt_avg_update().
Although steal time reporting in account_process_tick() keeps
track of the last time we read the steal clock, in prev_steal_time,
this patch do it independently using another field,
prev_steal_time_rq. This is because otherwise, information about time
accounted in update_process_tick() would never reach us in update_rq_clock().

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.
This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.
Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time
This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

This adds support for running KVM guests in supervisor mode on those
PPC970 processors that have a usable hypervisor mode. Unfortunately,
Apple G5 machines have supervisor mode disabled (MSR[HV] is forced to
1), but the YDL PowerStation does have a usable hypervisor mode.
There are several differences between the PPC970 and POWER7 in how
guests are managed. These differences are accommodated using the
CPU_FTR_ARCH_201 (PPC970) and CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 (POWER7) CPU feature
bits. Notably, on PPC970:
* The LPCR, LPID or RMOR registers don't exist, and the functions of
those registers are provided by bits in HID4 and one bit in HID0.
* External interrupts can be directed to the hypervisor, but unlike
POWER7 they are masked by MSR[EE] in non-hypervisor modes and use
SRR0/1 not HSRR0/1.
* There is no virtual RMA (VRMA) mode; the guest must use an RMO
(real mode offset) area.
* The TLB entries are not tagged with the LPID, so it is necessary to
flush the whole TLB on partition switch. Furthermore, when switching
partitions we have to ensure that no other CPU is executing the tlbie
or tlbsync instructions in either the old or the new partition,
otherwise undefined behaviour can occur.
* The PMU has 8 counters (PMC registers) rather than 6.
* The DSCR, PURR, SPURR, AMR, AMOR, UAMOR registers don't exist.
* The SLB has 64 entries rather than 32.
* There is no mediated external interrupt facility, so if we switch to
a guest that has a virtual external interrupt pending but the guest
has MSR[EE] = 0, we have to arrange to have an interrupt pending for
it so that we can get control back once it re-enables interrupts. We
do that by sending ourselves an IPI with smp_send_reschedule after
hard-disabling interrupts.

This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to
indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate
that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add
another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01
and set that for PPC970 and derivatives.
Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a
hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode
is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in
supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1
bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that
hypervisor mode is not useful.
Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that
only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206)
The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will
be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the
provided mask are set.
Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the
ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called
if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to
run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support
the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode
Offset (RMO) facility. These processors require a physically
contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest. When the guest does
an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a
limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset
value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes
the real address for the access. The size of the RMA has to be one of
a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB
and some larger powers of 2.
Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically
contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we
allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator. The
size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and
kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options.
KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability
of the pool of preallocated RMAs. The capability value is 1 if the
processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports
the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest.
This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the
pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA. It
also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure.
Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
ioctl calls from userspace. To cope with this, we now preallocate the
kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient
for up to 64GB of guest memory. Subsequently we will get rid of this
array and use memory associated with each memslot instead.
This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into
host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level
to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region. Also, instead of having to look
up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check
that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB. However, if we are
adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling
get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the
RMA.
Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it
inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value
in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor
uses RMA or VRMA for the guest. This moves the LPCR value into the
kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request)
bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in
assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external
interrupt request.

This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one
hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads
per core on POWER7. The host still has to run single-threaded.
This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT
capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability
is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4.
To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads
active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined.
This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then
wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while
they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send
them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in
arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage
we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and
we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will
need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base
physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys()
for use in the low-level KVM book3s code.
When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core.
The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the
number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported
to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes
to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu
numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core.
We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute
the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently
implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads
are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere
in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU
by the other vcpus.
When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the
vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep
until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu,
or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu
thread goes from busy in host state to blocked).
It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g.
because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already
running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as
the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest.
We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start
to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via
the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go
into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it
is ready to actually enter the guest.
Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread
number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus
as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered
hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all
the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are
runnable.

This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR
paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by
implementing it in real mode. H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual
IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the
PAPR interface.
Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The
ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly
created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as
userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the
guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number
of host/guest context switches during guest IO.
There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu
to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used
most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness
when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the
future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a
checkpoint resume or migration.

This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel,
either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode,
or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full
kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if
possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will
become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition
switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of
the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel
linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU
is off.
This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode:
H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table
H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table
H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table
H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE
H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table
H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register
Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel:
H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives
H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu
H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA)
The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in
the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can
only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space.

This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means
that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means
that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent
performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.
This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing
Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR
hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
to include/linux/kvm.h.
Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
(i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
do one or the other.
This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
restriction.
With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
to those exception handlers.
We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
interrupts, so we have to handle those.
In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.
The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
(partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run
in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.
This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We
require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that
we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.
This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that
temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running,
rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu.
This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and
modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit.
On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the
kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able
to get to them both with one pointer. On 64-bit they are separate
fields in the PACA. This means that on 64-bit we don't need to
copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and
in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a
shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all. That does mean that we
have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the

In hypervisor mode, the LPCR controls several aspects of guest
partitions, including virtual partition memory mode, and also controls
whether the hypervisor decrementer interrupts are enabled. This sets
up LPCR at boot time so that guest partitions will use a virtual real
memory area (VRMA) composed of 16MB large pages, and hypervisor
decrementer interrupts are disabled.

Instead of doing the kvm_guest_enter/exit() and local_irq_dis/enable()
calls in powerpc.c, this moves them down into the subarch-specific
book3s_pr.c and booke.c. This eliminates an extra local_irq_enable()
call in book3s_pr.c, and will be needed for when we do SMT4 guest
support in the book3s hypervisor mode code.

This arranges for the top-level arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c file to
pass down some of the calls it gets to the lower-level subarchitecture
specific code. The lower-level implementations (in booke.c and book3s.c)
are no-ops. The coming book3s_hv.c will need this.

Doing so means that we don't have to save the flags anywhere and gets
rid of the last reference to to_book3s(vcpu) in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c.
Doing so is OK because a program interrupt won't be generated at the
same time as any other synchronous interrupt. If a program interrupt
and an asynchronous interrupt (external or decrementer) are generated
at the same time, the program interrupt will be delivered, which is
correct because it has a higher priority, and then the asynchronous
interrupt will be masked.
We don't ever generate system reset or machine check interrupts to the
guest, but if we did, then we would need to make sure they got delivered
rather than the program interrupt. The current code would be wrong in
this situation anyway since it would deliver the program interrupt as
well as the reset/machine check interrupt.

Instead of branching out-of-line with the DO_KVM macro to check if we
are in a KVM guest at the time of an interrupt, this moves the KVM
check inline in the first-level interrupt handlers. This speeds up
the non-KVM case and makes sure that none of the interrupt handlers
are missing the check.
Because the first-level interrupt handlers are now larger, some things
had to be move out of line in exceptions-64s.S.
This all necessitated some minor changes to the interrupt entry code
in KVM. This also streamlines the book3s_32 KVM test.

In preparation for adding code to enable KVM to use hypervisor mode
on 64-bit Book 3S processors, this splits book3s.c into two files,
book3s.c and book3s_pr.c, where book3s_pr.c contains the code that is
specific to running the guest in problem state (user mode) and book3s.c
contains code which should apply to all Book 3S processors.
In doing this, we abstract some details, namely the interrupt offset,
updating the interrupt pending flag, and detecting if the guest is
in a critical section. These are all things that will be different
when we use hypervisor mode.

This moves the slb field, which represents the state of the emulated
SLB, from the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct to the kvm_vcpu_arch, and the
hpte_hash_[v]pte[_long] fields from kvm_vcpu_arch to kvmppc_vcpu_book3s.
This is in accord with the principle that the kvm_vcpu_arch struct
represents the state of the emulated CPU, and the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s
struct holds the auxiliary data structures used in the emulation.

Commit 69acc0d3ba ("KVM: PPC: Resolve real-mode handlers through
function exports") resulted in vcpu->arch.trampoline_lowmem and
vcpu->arch.trampoline_enter ending up with kernel virtual addresses
rather than physical addresses. This is OK on 64-bit Book3S machines,
which ignore the top 4 bits of the effective address in real mode,
but on 32-bit Book3S machines, accessing these addresses in real mode
causes machine check interrupts, as the hardware uses the whole
effective address as the physical address in real mode.
This fixes the problem by using __pa() to convert these addresses
to physical addresses.

do not change in the function.

Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into
multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS]. Use
both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be
selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest
PID.
This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to
invalidate the entire TLB. When the guest mode or PID changes, we just
update the host PID0/PID1. And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is
global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict.
Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to
a value other than zero. This will need to be fixed for nested KVM
to work. Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2
to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them
to something else.

This allows large pages to be used on guest mappings backed by things like
/dev/mem, resulting in a significant speedup when guest memory
is mapped this way (it's useful for directly-assigned MMIO, too).
This is not a substitute for hugetlbfs integration, but is useful for
configurations where devices are directly assigned on chips without an
IOMMU -- in these cases, we need guest physical and true physical to
match, and be contiguous, so static reservation and mapping via /dev/mem
is the most straightforward way to set things up.
