The secondary threads in the core are kept offline before launching guests
in kvm on powerpc: "371fefd6f2dc4666:KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use
SMT processor modes."Hence their runlatch bits are cleared. When the secondary threads are called
in to start a guest, their runlatch bits need to be set to indicate that they
are busy. The primary thread has its runlatch bit set though, but there is no
harm in setting this bit once again. Hence set the runlatch bit for all
threads before they start guest.Signed-off-by: Preeti U Murthy

"PPC and ARM do not have much going on this time. Most of the cool
stuff, instead, is in s390 and (after a few releases) x86.ARM has some caching fixes and PPC has transactional memory support in
guests. MIPS has some fixes, with more probably coming in 3.16 as
QEMU will soon get support for MIPS KVM.For x86 there are optimizations for debug registers, which trigger on
some Windows games, and other important fixes for Windows guests. We
now expose to the guest Broadwell instruction set extensions and also
Intel MPX. There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested
virtualization features (preemption timer), and a couple kvmclock
refinements.For s390, the main news is asynchronous page faults, together with

Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
complicated than usual.This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
window. I will describe it a bit more further down.There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I
didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it.Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
removal patch.Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
(also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
(non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
with a hwmon driver for the latter.There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy

Currently we save the host PMU configuration, counter values, etc.,
when entering a guest, and restore it on return from the guest.
(We have to do this because the guest has control of the PMU while
it is executing.) However, we missed saving/restoring the SIAR and
SDAR registers, as well as the registers which are new on POWER8,
namely SIER and MMCR2.This adds code to save the values of these registers when entering
the guest and restore them on exit. This also works around the bug
in POWER8 where setting PMAE with a counter already negative doesn't
generate an interrupt.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

Commit c7699822bc21 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make physical thread 0 do
the MMU switching") reordered the guest entry/exit code so that most
of the guest register save/restore code happened in guest MMU context.
A side effect of that is that the timebase still contains the guest
timebase value at the point where we compute and use vcpu->arch.dec_expires,
and therefore that is now a guest timebase value rather than a host
timebase value. That in turn means that the timeouts computed in
kvmppc_set_timer() are wrong if the timebase offset for the guest is
non-zero. The consequence of that is things such as "sleep 1" in a
guest after migration may sleep for much longer than they should.This fixes the problem by converting between guest and host timebase
values as necessary, by adding or subtracting the timebase offset.
This also fixes an incorrect comment.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This adds saving of the transactional memory (TM) checkpointed state
on guest entry and exit. We only do this if we see that the guest has
an active transaction.It also adds emulation of the TM state changes when delivering IRQs
into the guest. According to the architecture, if we are
transactional when an IRQ occurs, the TM state is changed to
suspended, otherwise it's left unchanged.Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling

Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical
interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented).In commit 8b64a9dfb091f1eca8b7e58da82f1e7d1d5fe0ad ("powerpc/booke64:
Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman
made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value
early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues:- It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the
by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time).
- It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled
differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions.
- It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all
(by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after
I made (most of) this patch. :-)It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return
from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves
the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles. Until then, let's stick with
SPRG for all exceptions.Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of
a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e. Since neither SPRG4-7 nor
critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO
there.Signed-off-by: Scott Wood

Commit 595e4f7e697e ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use load/store_fp_state
functions in HV guest entry/exit") changed the register usage in
kvmppc_save_fp() and kvmppc_load_fp() but omitted changing the
instructions that load and save VRSAVE. The result is that the
VRSAVE value was loaded from a constant address, and saved to a
location past the end of the vcpu struct, causing host kernel
memory corruption and various kinds of host kernel crashes.This fixes the problem by using register r31, which contains the
vcpu pointer, instead of r3 and r4.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

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: Paul Mackerras

* SRR1 wake reason field for system reset interrupt on wakeup from nap

Currently in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S we have three places where we
have woken up from nap mode and we check the reason field in SRR1
to see what event woke us up. This consolidates them into a new
function, kvmppc_check_wake_reason. It looks at the wake reason
field in SRR1, and if it indicates that an external interrupt caused
the wakeup, calls kvmppc_read_intr to check what sort of interrupt
it was.This also consolidates the two places where we synthesize an external
interrupt (0x500 vector) for the guest. Now, if the guest exit code
finds that there was an external interrupt which has been handled
(i.e. it was an IPI indicating that there is now an interrupt pending
for the guest), it jumps to deliver_guest_interrupt, which is in the
last part of the guest entry code, where we synthesize guest external
and decrementer interrupts. That code has been streamlined a little
and now clears LPCR[MER] when appropriate as well as setting it.The extra clearing of any pending IPI on a secondary, offline CPU
thread before going back to nap mode has been removed. It is no longer
necessary now that we have code to read and acknowledge IPIs in the
guest exit path.This fixes a minor bug in the H_CEDE real-mode handling - previously,
if we found that other threads were already exiting the guest when we
were about to go to nap mode, we would branch to the cede wakeup path
and end up looking in SRR1 for a wakeup reason. Now we branch to a
point after we have checked the wakeup reason.This also fixes a minor bug in kvmppc_read_intr - previously it could
return 0xff rather than 1, in the case where we find that a host IPI
is pending after we have cleared the IPI. Now it returns 1.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

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.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

Some users have reported instances of the host hanging with secondary
threads of a core waiting for the primary thread to exit the guest,
and the primary thread stuck in nap mode. This prompted a review of
the memory barriers in the guest entry/exit code, and this is the
result. Most of these changes are the suggestions of Dean Burdick
.The barriers between updating napping_threads and reading the
entry_exit_count on the one hand, and updating entry_exit_count and
reading napping_threads on the other, need to be isync not lwsync,
since we need to ensure that either the napping_threads update or the
entry_exit_count update get seen. It is not sufficient to order the
load vs. lwarx, as lwsync does; we need to order the load vs. the
stwcx., so we need isync.In addition, we need a full sync before sending IPIs to wake other
threads from nap, to ensure that the write to the entry_exit_count is
visible before the IPI occurs.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

When an interrupt or exception happens in the guest that comes to the
host, the CPU goes to hypervisor real mode (MMU off) to handle the
exception but doesn't change the MMU context. After saving a few
registers, we then clear the "in guest" flag. If, for any reason,
we get an exception in the real-mode code, that then gets handled
by the normal kernel exception handlers, which turn the MMU on. This
is disastrous if the MMU is still set to the guest context, since we
end up executing instructions from random places in the guest kernel
with hypervisor privilege.In order to catch this situation, we define a new value for the "in guest"
flag, KVM_GUEST_MODE_HOST_HV, to indicate that we are in hypervisor real
mode with guest MMU context. If the "in guest" flag is set to this value,
we branch off to an emergency handler. For the moment, this just does
a branch to self to stop the CPU from doing anything further.While we're here, we define another new flag value to indicate that we
are in a HV guest, as distinct from a PR guest. This will be useful
when we have a kernel that can support both PR and HV guests concurrently.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This enables us to use the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) on
POWER7 to put the processor into architecture 2.05 compatibility mode
when running a guest. In this mode the new instructions and registers
that were introduced on POWER7 are disabled in user mode. This
includes all the VSX facilities plus several other instructions such
as ldbrx, stdbrx, popcntw, popcntd, etc.To select this mode, we have a new register accessible through the
set/get_one_reg interface, called KVM_REG_PPC_ARCH_COMPAT. Setting
this to zero gives the full set of capabilities of the processor.
Setting it to one of the "logical" PVR values defined in PAPR puts
the vcpu into the compatibility mode for the corresponding
architecture level. The supported values are:0x0f000002 Architecture 2.05 (POWER6)
0x0f000003 Architecture 2.06 (POWER7)
0x0f100003 Architecture 2.06+ (POWER7+)Since the PCR is per-core, the architecture compatibility level and

POWER7 and later IBM server processors have a register called the
Program Priority Register (PPR), which controls the priority of
each hardware CPU SMT thread, and affects how fast it runs compared
to other SMT threads. This priority can be controlled by writing to
the PPR or by use of a set of instructions of the form or rN,rN,rN
which are otherwise no-ops but have been defined to set the priority
to particular levels.This adds code to context switch the PPR when entering and exiting
guests and to make the PPR value accessible through the SET/GET_ONE_REG
interface. When entering the guest, we set the PPR as late as
possible, because if we are setting a low thread priority it will
make the code run slowly from that point on. Similarly, the
first-level interrupt handlers save the PPR value in the PACA very
early on, and set the thread priority to the medium level, so that
the interrupt handling code runs at a reasonable speed.Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

This adds the ability to have a separate LPCR (Logical Partitioning
Control Register) value relating to a guest for each virtual core,
rather than only having a single value for the whole VM. This
corresponds to what real POWER hardware does, where there is a LPCR
per CPU thread but most of the fields are required to have the same
value on all active threads in a core.The per-virtual-core LPCR can be read and written using the
GET/SET_ONE_REG interface. Userspace can can only modify the
following fields of the LPCR value:DPFD Default prefetch depth
ILE Interrupt little-endian
TC Translation control (secondary HPT hash group search disable)We still maintain a per-VM default LPCR value in kvm->arch.lpcr, which
contains bits relating to memory management, i.e. the Virtualized
Partition Memory (VPM) bits and the bits relating to guest real mode.
When this default value is updated, the update needs to be propagated
to the per-vcore values, so we add a kvmppc_update_lpcr() helper to do
that.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

The yield count in the VPA is supposed to be incremented every time
we enter the guest, and every time we exit the guest, so that its
value is even when the vcpu is running in the guest and odd when it
isn't. However, it's currently possible that we increment the yield
count on the way into the guest but then find that other CPU threads
are already exiting the guest, so we go back to nap mode via the
secondary_too_late label. In this situation we don't increment the
yield count again, breaking the relationship between the LSB of the
count and whether the vcpu is in the guest.To fix this, we move the increment of the yield count to a point
after we have checked whether other CPU threads are exiting.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This moves the code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S that reads any pending
interrupt from the XICS interrupt controller, and works out whether
it is an IPI for the guest, an IPI for the host, or a device interrupt,
into a new function called kvmppc_read_intr. Later patches will
need this.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

We have two paths into and out of the low-level guest entry and exit
code: from a vcpu task via kvmppc_hv_entry_trampoline, and from the
system reset vector for an offline secondary thread on POWER7 via
kvm_start_guest. Currently both just branch to kvmppc_hv_entry to
enter the guest, and on guest exit, we test the vcpu physical thread
ID to detect which way we came in and thus whether we should return
to the vcpu task or go back to nap mode.In order to make the code flow clearer, and to keep the code relating
to each flow together, this turns kvmppc_hv_entry into a subroutine
that follows the normal conventions for call and return. This means
that kvmppc_hv_entry_trampoline() and kvmppc_hv_entry() now establish
normal stack frames, and we use the normal stack slots for saving
return addresses rather than local_paca->kvm_hstate.vmhandler. Apart
from that this is mostly moving code around unchanged.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This allows guests to have a different timebase origin from the host.
This is needed for migration, where a guest can migrate from one host
to another and the two hosts might have a different timebase origin.
However, the timebase seen by the guest must not go backwards, and
should go forwards only by a small amount corresponding to the time
taken for the migration.Therefore this provides a new per-vcpu value accessed via the one_reg
interface using the new KVM_REG_PPC_TB_OFFSET identifier. This value
defaults to 0 and is not modified by KVM. On entering the guest, this
value is added onto the timebase, and on exiting the guest, it is
subtracted from the timebase.This is only supported for recent POWER hardware which has the TBU40
(timebase upper 40 bits) register. Writing to the TBU40 register only
alters the upper 40 bits of the timebase, leaving the lower 24 bits
unchanged. This provides a way to modify the timebase for guest
migration without disturbing the synchronization of the timebase
registers across CPU cores. The kernel rounds up the value given
to a multiple of 2^24.Timebase values stored in KVM structures (struct kvm_vcpu, struct
kvmppc_vcore, etc.) are stored as host timebase values. The timebase
values in the dispatch trace log need to be guest timebase values,
however, since that is read directly by the guest. This moves the
setting of vcpu->arch.dec_expires on guest exit to a point after we
have restored the host timebase so that vcpu->arch.dec_expires is a
host timebase value.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

Currently we are not saving and restoring the SIAR and SDAR registers in
the PMU (performance monitor unit) on guest entry and exit. The result
is that performance monitoring tools in the guest could get false
information about where a program was executing and what data it was
accessing at the time of a performance monitor interrupt. This fixes
it by saving and restoring these registers along with the other PMU
registers on guest entry/exit.This also provides a way for userspace to access these values for a
vcpu via the one_reg interface.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This fixes a typo in the code that saves the guest DSCR (Data Stream
Control Register) into the kvm_vcpu_arch struct on guest exit. The
effect of the typo was that the DSCR value was saved in the wrong place,
so changes to the DSCR by the guest didn't persist across guest exit
and entry, and some host kernel memory got corrupted.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org [v3.1+]
