There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S. If the
exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
(Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register). If the exit was caused
by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
with an lwz instruction.
Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst. The HEIR value has been loaded
using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
host endianness. The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst
assumes it was loaded using host endianness.
To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value. Then,
in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
differ.

This removes the code that was added to enable HV KVM to work
on PPC970 processors. The PPC970 is an old CPU that doesn't
support virtualizing guest memory. Removing PPC970 support also
lets us remove the code for allocating and managing contiguous
real-mode areas, the code for the !kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers
case, the code for pinning pages of guest memory when first
accessed and keeping track of which pages have been pinned, and
the code for handling H_ENTER hypercalls in virtual mode.
Book3S HV KVM is now supported only on POWER7 and POWER8 processors.
The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability now always returns 0.

Currently the calculations of stolen time for PPC Book3S HV guests
uses fields in both the vcpu struct and the kvmppc_vcore struct. The
fields in the kvmppc_vcore struct are protected by the
vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock of the vcpu that has taken responsibility for
running the virtual core. This works correctly but confuses lockdep,
because it sees that the code takes the tbacct_lock for a vcpu in
kvmppc_remove_runnable() and then takes another vcpu's tbacct_lock in
vcore_stolen_time(), and it thinks there is a possibility of deadlock,
causing it to print reports like this:

In order to make the locking easier to analyse, we change the code to
use a spinlock in the kvmppc_vcore struct to protect the stolen_tb and
preempt_tb fields. This lock needs to be an irq-safe lock since it is
used in the kvmppc_core_vcpu_load_hv() and kvmppc_core_vcpu_put_hv()

an irq-safe lock.

1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.
2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.
3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
to a SPR.
The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
- starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
- 32kb for L2
- 128kb for L2+L3
- Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
- Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)
We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.
To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
- starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
- table size (no data, until end of table)
- prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
32 cycles)
The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
a physical CPU.
The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
so we just generate needless memory operations.
This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
to be useful.
Benchmark 1:
- 16 core POWER8
- 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
- No split core/SMT
- two guests running sysbench memory test.
sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
- one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/
This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.
In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.
benchmark 2:
- Same VM config as benchmark 1
- all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark
This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
many times for cachelines to be pulled in)
The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.
benchmark 3:
- same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
- two idle guests
- 1 guest running STREAM benchmark
This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).
benchmark 4:
- same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
- two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
workload
- one guest running STREAM benchmark.
Similar improvements to benchmark 3.
benchmark 5:
- 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04
- Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4)
- STREAM benchmark
In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board
of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.
Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.
The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.
When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.
No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.
When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
native endian load/store operations.
Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.
For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.
For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
functions that evaluate this variable.

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.

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.

This patch adds the debug stub support on booke/bookehv.
Now QEMU debug stub can use hw breakpoint, watchpoint and
software breakpoint to debug guest.
This is how we save/restore debug register context when switching
between guest, userspace and kernel user-process:
When QEMU is running
-> thread->debug_reg == QEMU debug register context.
-> Kernel will handle switching the debug register on context switch.
-> no vcpu_load() called
QEMU makes ioctls (except RUN)
-> This will call vcpu_load()
-> should not change context.
-> Some ioctls can change vcpu debug register, context saved in vcpu->debug_regs
QEMU Makes RUN ioctl
-> Save thread->debug_reg on STACK
-> Store thread->debug_reg == vcpu->debug_reg
-> load thread->debug_reg
-> RUN VCPU ( So thread points to vcpu context )
Context switch happens When VCPU running
-> makes vcpu_load() should not load any context
-> kernel loads the vcpu context as thread->debug_regs points to vcpu context.
On heavyweight_exit
-> Load the context saved on stack in thread->debug_reg
Currently we do not support debug resource emulation to guest,
On debug exception, always exit to user space irrespective of
user space is expecting the debug exception or not. If this is
unexpected exception (breakpoint/watchpoint event not set by
userspace) then let us leave the action on user space. This
is similar to what it was before, only thing is that now we
have proper exit state available to user space.

Currently we request write access to all pages that get mapped into the
guest, even if the guest is only loading from the page. This reduces
the effectiveness of KSM because it means that we unshare every page we
access. Also, we always set the changed (C) bit in the guest HPTE if
it allows writing, even for a guest load.
This fixes both these problems. We pass an 'iswrite' flag to the
mmu.xlate() functions and to kvmppc_mmu_map_page() to indicate whether
the access is a load or a store. The mmu.xlate() functions now only
set C for stores. kvmppc_gfn_to_pfn() now calls gfn_to_pfn_prot()
instead of gfn_to_pfn() so that it can indicate whether we need write
access to the page, and get back a 'writable' flag to indicate whether
the page is writable or not. If that 'writable' flag is clear, we then
make the host HPTE read-only even if the guest HPTE allowed writing.
This means that we can get a protection fault when the guest writes to a
page that it has mapped read-write but which is read-only on the host
side (perhaps due to KSM having merged the page). Thus we now call
kvmppc_handle_pagefault() for protection faults as well as HPTE not found
faults. In kvmppc_handle_pagefault(), if the access was allowed by the
guest HPTE and we thus need to install a new host HPTE, we then need to
remove the old host HPTE if there is one. This is done with a new
function, kvmppc_mmu_unmap_page(), which uses kvmppc_mmu_pte_vflush() to
find and remove the old host HPTE.
Since the memslot-related functions require the KVM SRCU read lock to
be held, this adds srcu_read_lock/unlock pairs around the calls to
kvmppc_handle_pagefault().
Finally, this changes kvmppc_mmu_book3s_32_xlate_pte() to not ignore
guest HPTEs that don't permit access, and to return -EPERM for accesses
that are not permitted by the page protections.

This adds a per-VM mutex to provide mutual exclusion between vcpus
for accesses to and updates of the guest hashed page table (HPT).
This also makes the code use single-byte writes to the HPT entry
when updating of the reference (R) and change (C) bits. The reason
for doing this, rather than writing back the whole HPTE, is that on
non-PAPR virtual machines, the guest OS might be writing to the HPTE
concurrently, and writing back the whole HPTE might conflict with
that. Also, real hardware does single-byte writes to update R and C.
The new mutex is taken in kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_xlate() when reading
the HPT and updating R and/or C, and in the PAPR HPT update hcalls
(H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, etc.). Having the mutex means that we don't need
to use a hypervisor lock bit in the HPT update hcalls, and we don't
need to be careful about the order in which the bytes of the HPTE are
updated by those hcalls.
The other change here is to make emulated TLB invalidations (tlbie)
effective across all vcpus. To do this we call kvmppc_mmu_pte_vflush
for all vcpus in kvmppc_ppc_book3s_64_tlbie().
For 32-bit, this makes the setting of the accessed and dirty bits use
single-byte writes, and makes tlbie invalidate shadow HPTEs for all
vcpus.
With this, PR KVM can successfully run SMP guests.

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.

Currently PR-style KVM keeps the volatile guest register values
(R0 - R13, CR, LR, CTR, XER, PC) in a shadow_vcpu struct rather than
the main kvm_vcpu struct. For 64-bit, the shadow_vcpu exists in two
places, a kmalloc'd struct and in the PACA, and it gets copied back
and forth in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load/put(), because the real-mode code
can't rely on being able to access the kmalloc'd struct.
This changes the code to copy the volatile values into the shadow_vcpu
as one of the last things done before entering the guest. Similarly
the values are copied back out of the shadow_vcpu to the kvm_vcpu
immediately after exiting the guest. We arrange for interrupts to be
still disabled at this point so that we can't get preempted on 64-bit
and end up copying values from the wrong PACA.
This means that the accessor functions in kvm_book3s.h for these
registers are greatly simplified, and are same between PR and HV KVM.
In places where accesses to shadow_vcpu fields are now replaced by
accesses to the kvm_vcpu, we can also remove the svcpu_get/put pairs.
Finally, on 64-bit, we don't need the kmalloc'd struct at all any more.
With this, the time to read the PVR one million times in a loop went
from 567.7ms to 575.5ms (averages of 6 values), an increase of about
1.4% for this worse-case test for guest entries and exits. The
standard deviation of the measurements is about 11ms, so the
difference is only marginally significant statistically.

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
the corresponding PCR value are stored in the struct kvmppc_vcore, and
are therefore shared between all vcpus in a virtual core.

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.

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.

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.
