Paul Mackerras acde25726b KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add radix checks in real-mode hypercall handlers
POWER9 running a radix guest will take some hypervisor interrupts
without going to real mode (turning off the MMU).  This means that
early hypercall handlers may now be called in virtual mode.  Most of
the handlers work just fine in both modes, but there are some that
can crash the host if called in virtual mode, notably the TCE (IOMMU)
hypercalls H_PUT_TCE, H_STUFF_TCE and H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT.  These
already have both a real-mode and a virtual-mode version, so we
arrange for the real-mode version to return H_TOO_HARD for radix
guests, which will result in the virtual-mode version being called.

The other hypercall which is sensitive to the MMU mode is H_RANDOM.
It doesn't have a virtual-mode version, so this adds code to enable
it to be called in either mode.

An alternative solution was considered which would refuse to call any
of the early hypercall handlers when doing a virtual-mode exit from a
radix guest.  However, the XICS-on-XIVE code depends on the XICS
hypercalls being handled early even for virtual-mode exits, because
the handlers need to be called before the XIVE vCPU state has been
pulled off the hardware.  Therefore that solution would have become
quite invasive and complicated, and was rejected in favour of the
simpler, though less elegant, solution presented here.

Alexey Kardashevskiy 121f80ba68 KVM: PPC: VFIO: Add in-kernel acceleration for VFIO
This allows the host kernel to handle H_PUT_TCE, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT
and H_STUFF_TCE requests targeted an IOMMU TCE table used for VFIO
without passing them to user space which saves time on switching
to user space and back.

This adds H_PUT_TCE/H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE handlers to KVM.
KVM tries to handle a TCE request in the real mode, if failed
it passes the request to the virtual mode to complete the operation.
If it a virtual mode handler fails, the request is passed to
the user space; this is not expected to happen though.

To avoid dealing with page use counters (which is tricky in real mode),
this only accelerates SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 clients which are required
to pre-register the userspace memory. The very first TCE request will
be handled in the VFIO SPAPR TCE driver anyway as the userspace view
of the TCE table (iommu_table::it_userspace) is not allocated till
the very first mapping happens and we cannot call vmalloc in real mode.

If we fail to update a hardware IOMMU table unexpected reason, we just
clear it and move on as there is nothing really we can do about it -
for example, if we hot plug a VFIO device to a guest, existing TCE tables
will be mirrored automatically to the hardware and there is no interface
to report to the guest about possible failures.

This adds new attribute - KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE - to
the VFIO KVM device. It takes a VFIO group fd and SPAPR TCE table fd
and associates a physical IOMMU table with the SPAPR TCE table (which
is a guest view of the hardware IOMMU table). The iommu_table object
is cached and referenced so we do not have to look up for it in real mode.

This does not implement the UNSET counterpart as there is no use for it -
once the acceleration is enabled, the existing userspace won't
disable it unless a VFIO container is destroyed; this adds necessary
cleanup to the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL handler.

This advertises the new KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability to the user
space.

This adds real mode version of WARN_ON_ONCE() as the generic version
causes problems with rcu_sched. Since we testing what vmalloc_to_phys()
returns in the code, this also adds a check for already existing
vmalloc_to_phys() call in kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect().

This finally makes use of vfio_external_user_iommu_id() which was
introduced quite some time ago and was considered for removal.

Tests show that this patch increases transmission speed from 220MB/s
to 750..1020MB/s on 10Gb network (Chelsea CXGB3 10Gb ethernet card).

Alexey Kardashevskiy da6f59e192 KVM: PPC: Use preregistered memory API to access TCE list
VFIO on sPAPR already implements guest memory pre-registration
when the entire guest RAM gets pinned. This can be used to translate
the physical address of a guest page containing the TCE list
from H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT.

This makes use of the pre-registrered memory API to access TCE list
pages in order to avoid unnecessary locking on the KVM memory
reverse map as we know that all of guest memory is pinned and
we have a flat array mapping GPA to HPA which makes it simpler and
quicker to index into that array (even with looking up the
kernel page tables in vmalloc_to_phys) than it is to find the memslot,
lock the rmap entry, look up the user page tables, and unlock the rmap
entry. Note that the rmap pointer is initialized to NULL
where declared (not in this patch).

If a requested chunk of memory has not been preregistered, this will
fall back to non-preregistered case and lock rmap.

Alexey Kardashevskiy d3695aa4f4 KVM: PPC: Add support for multiple-TCE hcalls
This adds real and virtual mode handlers for the H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and
H_STUFF_TCE hypercalls for user space emulated devices such as IBMVIO
devices or emulated PCI. These calls allow adding multiple entries
(up to 512) into the TCE table in one call which saves time on
transition between kernel and user space.

The current implementation of kvmppc_h_stuff_tce() allows it to be
executed in both real and virtual modes so there is one helper.
The kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect() needs to translate the guest address
to the host address and since the translation is different, there are
2 helpers - one for each mode.

This implements the KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE capability. When present,
the kernel will try handling H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE if these
are enabled by the userspace via KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.
If they can not be handled by the kernel, they are passed on to
the user space. The user space still has to have an implementation
for these.

Both HV and PR-syle KVM are supported.

David Gibson 54738c0971 KVM: PPC: Accelerate H_PUT_TCE by implementing it in real mode
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.
