The PAPR paravirtualization interface lets guests register three
different types of per-vCPU buffer areas in its memory for communication
with the hypervisor. These are called virtual processor areas (VPAs).
Currently the hypercalls to register and unregister VPAs are handled
by KVM in the kernel, and userspace has no way to know about or save
and restore these registrations across a migration.
This adds "register" codes for these three areas that userspace can
use with the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG ioctls to see what addresses have
been registered, and to register or unregister them. This will be
needed for guest hibernation and migration, and is also needed so
that userspace can unregister them on reset (otherwise we corrupt
guest memory after reboot by writing to the VPAs registered by the
previous kernel).
The "register" for the VPA is a 64-bit value containing the address,
since the length of the VPA is fixed. The "registers" for the SLB
shadow buffer and dispatch trace log (DTL) are 128 bits long,
consisting of the guest physical address in the high (first) 64 bits
and the length in the low 64 bits.
This also fixes a bug where we were calling init_vpa unconditionally,
leading to an oops when unregistering the VPA.

This enables userspace to get and set all the guest floating-point
state using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. The floating-point state
includes all of the traditional floating-point registers and the
FPSCR (floating point status/control register), all the VMX/Altivec
vector registers and the VSCR (vector status/control register), and
on POWER7, the vector-scalar registers (note that each FP register
is the high-order half of the corresponding VSR).
Most of these are implemented in common Book 3S code, except for VSX
on POWER7. Because HV and PR differ in how they store the FP and VSX
registers on POWER7, the code for these cases is not common. On POWER7,
the FP registers are the upper halves of the VSX registers vsr0 - vsr31.
PR KVM stores vsr0 - vsr31 in two halves, with the upper halves in the
arch.fpr[] array and the lower halves in the arch.vsr[] array, whereas
HV KVM on POWER7 stores the whole VSX register in arch.vsr[].

This enables userspace to get and set various SPRs (special-purpose
registers) using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls. With this, userspace
can get and set all the SPRs that are part of the guest state, either
through the KVM_[GS]ET_REGS ioctls, the KVM_[GS]ET_SREGS ioctls, or
the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls.
The SPRs that are added here are:
- DABR: Data address breakpoint register
- DSCR: Data stream control register
- PURR: Processor utilization of resources register
- SPURR: Scaled PURR
- DAR: Data address register
- DSISR: Data storage interrupt status register
- AMR: Authority mask register
- UAMOR: User authority mask override register
- MMCR0, MMCR1, MMCRA: Performance monitor unit control registers
- PMC1..PMC8: Performance monitor unit counter registers
In order to reduce code duplication between PR and HV KVM code, this
moves the kvm_vcpu_ioctl_[gs]et_one_reg functions into book3s.c and
centralizes the copying between user and kernel space there. The
registers that are handled differently between PR and HV, and those
that exist only in one flavor, are handled in kvmppc_[gs]et_one_reg()
functions that are specific to each flavor.

To emulate level triggered interrupts, add a resample option to
KVM_IRQFD. When specified, a new resamplefd is provided that notifies
the user when the irqchip has been resampled by the VM. This may, for
instance, indicate an EOI. Also in this mode, posting of an interrupt
through an irqfd only asserts the interrupt. On resampling, the
interrupt is automatically de-asserted prior to user notification.
This enables level triggered interrupts to be posted and re-enabled
from vfio with no userspace intervention.
All resampling irqfds can make use of a single irq source ID, so we
reserve a new one for this interface.

This adds a new ioctl to enable userspace to control the size of the guest
hashed page table (HPT) and to clear it out when resetting the guest.
The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl is a VM ioctl and takes as its parameter
a pointer to a u32 containing the desired order of the HPT (log base 2
of the size in bytes), which is updated on successful return to the
actual order of the HPT which was allocated.
There must be no vcpus running at the time of this ioctl. To enforce
this, we now keep a count of the number of vcpus running in
kvm->arch.vcpus_running.
If the ioctl is called when a HPT has already been allocated, we don't
reallocate the HPT but just clear it out. We first clear the
kvm->arch.rma_setup_done flag, which has two effects: (a) since we hold
the kvm->lock mutex, it will prevent any vcpus from starting to run until
we're done, and (b) it means that the first vcpu to run after we're done
will re-establish the VRMA if necessary.
If userspace doesn't call this ioctl before running the first vcpu, the
kernel will allocate a default-sized HPT at that point. We do it then
rather than when creating the VM, as the code did previously, so that
userspace has a chance to do the ioctl if it wants.
When allocating the HPT, we can allocate either from the kernel page
allocator, or from the preallocated pool. If userspace is asking for
a different size from the preallocated HPTs, we first try to allocate
using the kernel page allocator. Then we try to allocate from the
preallocated pool, and then if that fails, we try allocating decreasing
sizes from the kernel page allocator, down to the minimum size allowed
(256kB). Note that the kernel page allocator limits allocations to
1 << CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER pages, which by default corresponds to
16MB (on 64-bit powerpc, at least).

We can't run PIT IRQ injection work in the interrupt context of the host
timer. This would allow the user to influence the handler complexity by
asking for a broadcast to a large number of VCPUs. Therefore, this work
was pushed into workqueue context in 9d244caf2e. However, this prevents
prioritizing the PIT injection over other task as workqueues share
kernel threads.
This replaces the workqueue with a kthread worker and gives that thread

PCI 2.3 allows to generically disable IRQ sources at device level. This

when passing them to a guest.
The new IRQ sharing feature introduced here is optional, user space has
to request it explicitly. Moreover, user space can inform us about its
view of PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE so that we can avoid unmasking the
interrupt and signaling it if the guest masked it via the virtualized

Right now we transfer a static struct every time we want to get or set
registers. Unfortunately, over time we realize that there are more of
these than we thought of before and the extensibility and flexibility of
transferring a full struct every time is limited.
So this is a new approach to the problem. With these new ioctls, we can
get and set a single register that is identified by an ID. This allows for
very precise and limited transmittal of data. When we later realize that
it's a better idea to shove over multiple registers at once, we can reuse
most of the infrastructure and simply implement a GET_MANY_REGS / SET_MANY_REGS
interface.

This patch allows the user to fault in pages on a virtual cpus

is superfluous because userspace can just create a mapping and
let the kernel's page fault logic take are of it. There is one
exception: SIE won't start if the lowcore is not present. Normally
the kernel takes care of this [handle_validity() in
arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c] but since the kernel does not handle
intercepts for user controlled virtual machines, userspace needs to

This patch introduces two ioctls for virtual cpus, that are only
valid for kernel virtual machines that are controlled by userspace.
Each virtual cpu has its individual address space in this mode of
operation, and each address space is backed by the gmap
implementation just like the address space for regular KVM guests.
KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP allows to map a part of the user's virtual address
space to the vcpu. Starting offset and length in both the user and
the vcpu address space need to be aligned to 1M.
KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP can be used to unmap a range of memory from a
virtual cpu in a similar way.

This patch introduces a new config option for user controlled kernel
virtual machines. It introduces a parameter to KVM_CREATE_VM that
allows to set bits that alter the capabilities of the newly created
virtual machine.
The parameter is passed to kvm_arch_init_vm for all architectures.
The only valid modifier bit for now is KVM_VM_S390_UCONTROL.
This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and creates a user controlled
virtual machine on s390 architectures.
