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.

This adds the code to interpret 64k HPTEs in the guest hashed page
table (HPT), 64k SLB entries, and to tell the guest about 64k pages
in kvm_vm_ioctl_get_smmu_info(). Guest 64k pages are still shadowed
by 4k pages.
This also adds another hash table to the four we have already in
book3s_mmu_hpte.c to allow us to find all the PTEs that we have
instantiated that match a given 64k guest page.
The tlbie instruction changed starting with POWER6 to use a bit in
the RB operand to indicate large page invalidations, and to use other
RB bits to indicate the base and actual page sizes and the segment
size. 64k pages came in slightly earlier, with POWER5++.
We use one bit in vcpu->arch.hflags to indicate that the emulated
cpu supports 64k pages, and another to indicate that it has the new
tlbie definition.
The KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO ioctl presents a bit of a problem, because
the MMU capabilities depend on which CPU model we're emulating, but it
is a VM ioctl not a VCPU ioctl and therefore doesn't get passed a VCPU
fd. In addition, commonly-used userspace (QEMU) calls it before
setting the PVR for any VCPU. Therefore, as a best effort we look at
the first vcpu in the VM and return 64k pages or not depending on its
capabilities. We also make the PVR default to the host PVR on recent
CPUs that support 1TB segments (and therefore multiple page sizes as
well) so that KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO will include 64k page and 1TB
segment support on those CPUs.

There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable
threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding
the vcore spinlock. This extends the places where we hold the vcore
spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list.
Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault,
this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to
kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock.
In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether
all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the
caller has already done that. The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't
actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that.
The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we
never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or
EXITING.

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.

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.

The current interrupt logic is just completely broken. We get a notification
from user space, telling us that an interrupt is there. But then user space
expects us that we just acknowledge an interrupt once we deliver it to the
guest.
This is not how real hardware works though. On real hardware, the interrupt
controller pulls the external interrupt line until it gets notified that the
interrupt was received.
So in reality we have two events: pulling and letting go of the interrupt line.
To maintain backwards compatibility, I added a new request for the pulling
part. The letting go part was implemented earlier already.
With this in place, we can now finally start guests that do not randomly stall
and stop to work at random times.
This patch implements above logic for Book3S.

The Gekko implements an extension called paired singles. When the guest wants
to use that extension, we need to make sure we're not running the host FPU,
because all FPU instructions need to get emulated to accomodate for additional
operations that occur.

To fetch the last instruction we were interrupted on, we enable DR in early
exit code, where we are still in a very transitional phase between guest
and host state.
Most of the time this seemed to work, but another CPU can easily flush our
TLB and HTAB which makes us go in the Linux page fault handler which totally
breaks because we still use the guest's SLB entries.
To work around that, let's introduce a second KVM guest mode that defines
that whenever we get a trap, we don't call the Linux handler or go into
the KVM exit code, but just jump over the faulting instruction.
That way a potentially bad lwz doesn't trigger any faults and we can later
on interpret the invalid instruction we fetched as "fetch didn't work".
