This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
interrupt controller. This includes waking secondary threads to run
the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.
Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
change:
rm_entry: 3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
rm_exit: 4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
rm_intr: 1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: 3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
rm_exit: 4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
rm_intr: 1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)
for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.
The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
with this change.
The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
and a little-endian POWER8 host.

On entry to the guest, secondary threads now wait for the primary to
switch the MMU after loading up most of their state, rather than before.
This means that the secondary threads get into the guest sooner, in the
common case where the secondary threads get to kvmppc_hv_entry before
the primary thread.
On exit, the first thread out increments the exit count and interrupts
the other threads (to get them out of the guest) before saving most
of its state, rather than after. That means that the other threads
exit sooner and means that the first thread doesn't spend so much
time waiting for the other threads at the point where the MMU gets
switched back to the host.
This pulls out the code that increments the exit count and interrupts
other threads into a separate function, kvmhv_commence_exit().
This also makes sure that r12 and vcpu->arch.trap are set correctly
in some corner cases.
Statistics from /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/vm*/vcpu*/timings show the
improvement. Aggregating across vcpus for a guest with 32 vcpus,
8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, gives this before the change:
rm_entry: avg 4537.3ns (222 - 48444, 1068878 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4787.6ns (152 - 165490, 1010717 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1673.6ns (12 - 341304, 3818691 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: avg 3427.7ns (232 - 68150, 1118921 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4716.0ns (12 - 150720, 1119477 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1614.8ns (12 - 522436, 3850432 samples)
showing a substantial reduction in the time spent per guest entry in
the real-mode guest entry code, and smaller reductions in the real
mode guest exit and interrupt handling times. (The test was to start
the guest and boot Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.)

Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
of 8 bits each. The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

This arranges for threads that are napping due to their vcpu having
ceded or due to not having a vcpu to wake up at the end of the guest's
timeslice without having to be poked with an IPI. We do that by
arranging for the decrementer to contain a value no greater than the
number of timebase ticks remaining until the end of the timeslice.
In the case of a thread with no vcpu, this number is in the hypervisor
decrementer already. In the case of a ceded vcpu, we use the smaller
of the HDEC value and the DEC value.
Using the DEC like this when ceded means we need to save and restore
the guest decrementer value around the nap.

When running a multi-threaded guest and vcpu 0 in a virtual core
is not running in the guest (i.e. it is busy elsewhere in the host),
thread 0 of the physical core will switch the MMU to the guest and
then go to nap mode in the code at kvm_do_nap. If the guest sends
an IPI to thread 0 using the msgsndp instruction, that will wake
up thread 0 and cause all the threads in the guest to exit to the
host unnecessarily. To avoid the unnecessary exit, this arranges
for the PECEDP bit to be cleared in this situation. When napping
due to a H_CEDE from the guest, we still set PECEDP so that the
thread will wake up on an IPI sent using msgsndp.

We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

Rather than calling cond_resched() in kvmppc_run_core() before doing
the post-processing for the vcpus that we have just run (that is,
calling kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), kvmppc_set_timer(), etc.), we now do
that post-processing before calling cond_resched(), and that post-
processing is moved out into its own function, post_guest_process().
The reschedule point is now in kvmppc_run_vcpu() and we define a new
vcore state, VCORE_PREEMPT, to indicate that that the vcore's runner
task is runnable but not running. (Doing the reschedule with the
vcore in VCORE_INACTIVE state would be bad because there are potentially
other vcpus waiting for the runner in kvmppc_wait_for_exec() which
then wouldn't get woken up.)
Also, we make use of the handy cond_resched_lock() function, which
unlocks and relocks vc->lock for us around the reschedule.

Previously, if kvmppc_run_core() was running a VCPU that needed a VPA
update (i.e. one of its 3 virtual processor areas needed to be pinned
in memory so the host real mode code can update it on guest entry and
exit), we would drop the vcore lock and do the update there and then.
Future changes will make it inconvenient to drop the lock, so instead
we now remove it from the list of runnable VCPUs and wake up its
VCPU task. This will have the effect that the VCPU task will exit
kvmppc_run_vcpu(), go around the do loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), and
re-enter kvmppc_run_vcpu(), whereupon it will do the necessary call
to kvmppc_update_vpas() and then rejoin the vcore.
The one complication is that the runner VCPU (whose VCPU task is the
current task) might be one of the ones that gets removed from the
runnable list. In that case we just return from kvmppc_run_core()
and let the code in kvmppc_run_vcpu() wake up another VCPU task to be
the runner if necessary.
This all means that the VCORE_STARTING state is no longer used, so we
remove it.

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code. Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:
* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
host. This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
while other threads in the same vcore are active.
These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings". This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.
The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%. Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs
is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file
by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be
read. The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the
process that created the guest. The file is named "htab". This is
intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management
of guest memory.
The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this:
3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196
The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and
third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page
number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set.
The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the
entry, so it contains the guest physical address. (The format of the
second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also
in arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h.)

Interrupt-based hypercalls return H_TOO_HARD to inform KVM that it needs
to switch to the host to complete the rest of hypercall function in
virtual mode. This patch ports the virtual mode ICS/ICP reject and resend
functions to be runnable in hypervisor real mode, thus avoiding the need
to switch to the host to execute these functions in virtual mode. However,
the hypercalls continue to return H_TOO_HARD for vcpu_wakeup and notify
events - these events cannot be done in real mode and they will still need
a switch to host virtual mode.
There are sufficient differences between the real mode code and the
virtual mode code for the ICS/ICP resend and reject functions that
for now the code has been duplicated instead of sharing common code.
In the future, we can look at creating common functions.

Replaces the ICS mutex lock with a spin lock since we will be porting
these routines to real mode. Note that we need to disable interrupts
before we take the lock in anticipation of the fact that on the guest
side, we are running in the context of a hard irq and interrupts are
disabled (EE bit off) when the lock is acquired. Again, because we
will be acquiring the lock in hypervisor real mode, we need to use
an arch_spinlock_t instead of a normal spinlock here as we want to
avoid running any lockdep code (which may not be safe to execute in
real mode).

Add counters to track number of times we switch from guest real mode
to host virtual mode during an interrupt-related hyper call because the
hypercall requires actions that cannot be completed in real mode. This

It is safe to use an ordinary increment rather than an atomic operation
because there is one ICP per virtual CPU and kvmppc_xics_rm_complete()
only works on the ICP for the current VCPU.

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator.
This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of
generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random
numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency
oscillators and are almost completely entropic.
PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one
64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode
implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was
implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is
generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for
all the threads in the same virtual core.
Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM
implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The
H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest
does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel
H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

On POWER, storage caching is usually configured via the MMU - attributes
such as cache-inhibited are stored in the TLB and the hashed page table.
This makes correctly performing cache inhibited IO accesses awkward when
the MMU is turned off (real mode). Some CPU models provide special
registers to control the cache attributes of real mode load and stores but
this is not at all consistent. This is a problem in particular for SLOF,
the firmware used on KVM guests, which runs entirely in real mode, but
which needs to do IO to load the kernel.
To simplify this qemu implements two special hypercalls, H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD
and H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE which simulate a cache-inhibited load or store to
a logical address (aka guest physical address). SLOF uses these for IO.
However, because these are implemented within qemu, not the host kernel,
these bypass any IO devices emulated within KVM itself. The simplest way
to see this problem is to attempt to boot a KVM guest from a virtio-blk
device with iothread / dataplane enabled. The iothread code relies on an
in kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification, which is not
triggered by the IO hcalls, and so the guest will stall in SLOF unable to
load the guest OS.
This patch addresses this by providing in-kernel implementations of the
2 hypercalls, which correctly scan the KVM IO bus. Any access to an
address not handled by the KVM IO bus will cause a VM exit, hitting the
qemu implementation as before.
Note that a userspace change is also required, in order to enable these
new hcall implementations with KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.

We can disable a THP split or a hugepage collapse by disabling irq.

We need to be careful if we want to use returned pte_t pointer outside

but then a hugepage collapse will result in a pfn change. There are
few steps we can take to avoid a hugepage collapse.One way is to take page
reference inside the irq disable region. Other option is to take
mmap_sem so that a parallel collapse will not happen. We can also

iodev.h contains definitions for the kvm_io_bus framework. This is
needed both by the generic KVM code in virt/kvm as well as by
architecture specific code under arch/. Putting the header file in
virt/kvm and using local includes in the architecture part seems at
least dodgy to me, so let's move the file into include/kvm, so that a
more natural "#include <kvm/iodev.h>" can be used by all of the code.
This also solves a problem later when using struct kvm_io_device
in arm_vgic.h.

Sometimes the KVM code on powerpc needs to emulate load or store
instructions from the guest, which can include both normal and byte
reversed forms.
We currently (AFAICT) handle this correctly, but some variable names are
very misleading. In particular we use "is_bigendian" in several places to
actually mean "is the IO the same endian as the host", but we now support
little-endian powerpc hosts. This also ties into the misleadingly named
ld_le*() and st_le*() functions, which in fact always byteswap, even on
an LE host.
This patch cleans this up by renaming to more accurate "host_swabbed", and
uses the generic swab*() functions instead of the powerpc specific and
misleadingly named ld_le*() and st_le*() functions.

Commit 4a157d61b4 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix endianness of
instruction obtained from HEIR register") had the side effect that
we no longer reset vcpu->arch.last_inst to -1 on guest exit in
the cases where the instruction is not fetched from the guest.
This means that if instruction emulation turns out to be required
in those cases, the host will emulate the wrong instruction, since
vcpu->arch.last_inst will contain the last instruction that was
emulated.
This fixes it by making sure that vcpu->arch.last_inst is reset
to -1 in those cases.

The flush_tlb hook in cpu_spec was introduced as a generic function hook
to invalidate TLBs. But the current implementation of flush_tlb hook
takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture
dependent. Hence, It is not right to have a generic routine where caller
has to pass non-generic argument.
This patch fixes this and makes flush_tlb hook as high level API.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

The return value of kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate is not checked in its
caller. This is okay, because only x86 provides vcpu_postcreate right
now and it could only fail if vcpu_load failed. But that is not
possible during KVM_CREATE_VCPU (kvm_arch_vcpu_load is void, too), so
just get rid of the unchecked return value.

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.
The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.
If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

We have two arrays in kvm_host_state that contain register values for
the PMU. Currently we only create an asm-offsets symbol for the base of
the arrays, and do the array offset in the assembly code.
Creating an asm-offsets symbol for each field individually makes the
code much nicer to read, particularly for the MMCRx/SIxR/SDAR fields, and
might have helped us notice the recent double restore bug we had in this

Currently the H_CONFER hcall is implemented in kernel virtual mode,
meaning that whenever a guest thread does an H_CONFER, all the threads
in that virtual core have to exit the guest. This is bad for
performance because it interrupts the other threads even if they
are doing useful work.
The H_CONFER hcall is called by a guest VCPU when it is spinning on a
spinlock and it detects that the spinlock is held by a guest VCPU that
is currently not running on a physical CPU. The idea is to give this
VCPU's time slice to the holder VCPU so that it can make progress
towards releasing the lock.
To avoid having the other threads exit the guest unnecessarily,
we add a real-mode implementation of H_CONFER that checks whether
the other threads are doing anything. If all the other threads
are idle (i.e. in H_CEDE) or trying to confer (i.e. in H_CONFER),
it returns H_TOO_HARD which causes a guest exit and allows the
H_CONFER to be handled in virtual mode.
Otherwise it spins for a short time (up to 10 microseconds) to give
other threads the chance to observe that this thread is trying to
confer. The spin loop also terminates when any thread exits the guest
or when all other threads are idle or trying to confer. If the
timeout is reached, the H_CONFER returns H_SUCCESS. In this case the
guest VCPU will recheck the spinlock word and most likely call
H_CONFER again.
This also improves the implementation of the H_CONFER virtual mode
handler. If the VCPU is part of a virtual core (vcore) which is
runnable, there will be a 'runner' VCPU which has taken responsibility
for running the vcore. In this case we yield to the runner VCPU
rather than the target VCPU.
We also introduce a check on the target VCPU's yield count: if it
differs from the yield count passed to H_CONFER, the target VCPU
has run since H_CONFER was called and may have already released
the lock. This check is required by PAPR.

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.

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:

This fixes some inaccuracies in the state machine for the virtualized
ICP when implementing the H_IPI hcall (Set_MFFR and related states):
1. The old code wipes out any pending interrupts when the new MFRR is
more favored than the CPPR but less favored than a pending
interrupt (by always modifying xisr and the pending_pri). This can
cause us to lose a pending external interrupt.
The correct code here is to only modify the pending_pri and xisr in
the ICP if the MFRR is equal to or more favored than the current
pending pri (since in this case, it is guaranteed that that there
cannot be a pending external interrupt). The code changes are
required in both kvmppc_rm_h_ipi and kvmppc_h_ipi.
2. Again, in both kvmppc_rm_h_ipi and kvmppc_h_ipi, there is a check
for whether MFRR is being made less favored AND further if new MFFR
is also less favored than the current CPPR, we check for any
resends pending in the ICP. These checks look like they are
designed to cover the case where if the MFRR is being made less
favored, we opportunistically trigger a resend of any interrupts
that had been previously rejected. Although, this is not a state
described by PAPR, this is an action we actually need to do
especially if the CPPR is already at 0xFF. Because in this case,
the resend bit will stay on until another ICP state change which
may be a long time coming and the interrupt stays pending until
then. The current code which checks for MFRR < CPPR is broken when
CPPR is 0xFF since it will not get triggered in that case.
Ideally, we would want to do a resend only if
prio(pending_interrupt) < mfrr && prio(pending_interrupt) < cppr
where pending interrupt is the one that was rejected. But we don't
have the priority of the pending interrupt state saved, so we
simply trigger a resend whenever the MFRR is made less favored.
3. In kvmppc_rm_h_ipi, where we save state to pass resends to the
virtual mode, we also need to save the ICP whose need_resend we
reset since this does not need to be my ICP (vcpu->arch.icp) as is
incorrectly assumed by the current code. A new field rm_resend_icp
is added to the kvmppc_icp structure for this purpose.

Testing with KSM active in the host showed occasional corruption of
guest memory. Typically a page that should have contained zeroes
would contain values that look like the contents of a user process
stack (values such as 0x0000_3fff_xxxx_xxx).
Code inspection in kvmppc_h_protect revealed that there was a race
condition with the possibility of granting write access to a page
which is read-only in the host page tables. The code attempts to keep
the host mapping read-only if the host userspace PTE is read-only, but
if that PTE had been temporarily made invalid for any reason, the
read-only check would not trigger and the host HPTE could end up
read-write. Examination of the guest HPT in the failure situation
revealed that there were indeed shared pages which should have been
read-only that were mapped read-write.
To close this race, we don't let a page go from being read-only to
being read-write, as far as the real HPTE mapping the page is
concerned (the guest view can go to read-write, but the actual mapping
stays read-only). When the guest tries to write to the page, we take
an HDSI and let kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault take care of providing a
writable HPTE for the page.
This eliminates the occasional corruption of shared pages
that was previously seen with KSM active.

When injecting an IRQ, we only document which IRQ priority (which translates
to IRQ type) gets injected. However, when reading traces you don't necessarily
have all the numbers in your head to know which IRQ really is meant.
This patch converts the IRQ number field to a symbolic name that is in sync
with the respective define. That way it's a lot easier for readers to figure

When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we
currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in
the KVM code. This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap
instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that
put the thread into nap mode to return. The reason for doing this is
to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to
put the thread into.
In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread
will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the
relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable().
In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop
in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for
the next time the thread needs to run a guest. To tell whether or
not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from
power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt. We
arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running
a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that
case.
Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished
executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should
not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req
flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap
will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context.
In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for
hwthread_req to become zero.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

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 kvmppc_get_last_inst function recently received a facelift that allowed
us to pass an enum of the type of instruction we want to read into it rather
than an unreadable boolean.
Unfortunately, not all callers ended up passing the enum. This wasn't really
an issue as "true" and "false" happen to match the two enum values we have,
but it's still hard to read.
Update all callers of kvmppc_get_last_inst() to follow the new calling
convention.

ePAPR represents hardware threads as cpu node properties in device tree.
So with existing QEMU, hardware threads are simply exposed as vcpus with
one hardware thread.
The e6500 core shares TLBs between hardware threads. Without tlb write
conditional instruction, the Linux kernel uses per core mechanisms to
protect against duplicate TLB entries.
The guest is unable to detect real siblings threads, so it can't use the
TLB protection mechanism. An alternative solution is to use the hypervisor
to allocate different lpids to guest's vcpus that runs simultaneous on real
siblings threads. On systems with two threads per core this patch halves
the size of the lpid pool that the allocator sees and use two lpids per VM.
Use even numbers to speedup vcpu lpid computation with consecutive lpids
per VM: vm1 will use lpids 2 and 3, vm2 lpids 4 and 5, and so on.

Since the guest can read the machine's PVR (Processor Version Register)
directly and see the real value, we should disallow userspace from
setting any value for the guest's PVR other than the real host value.
Therefore this makes kvm_arch_vcpu_set_sregs_hv() check the supplied
PVR value and return an error if it is different from the host value,
which has been put into vcpu->arch.pvr at vcpu creation time.

This patch emulates debug registers and debug exception
to support guest using debug resource. This enables running
gdb/kgdb etc in guest.
On BOOKE architecture we cannot share debug resources between QEMU and
guest because:
When QEMU is using debug resources then debug exception must
be always enabled. To achieve this we set MSR_DE and also set
MSRP_DEP so guest cannot change MSR_DE.
When emulating debug resource for guest we want guest
to control MSR_DE (enable/disable debug interrupt on need).
So above mentioned two configuration cannot be supported
at the same time. So the result is that we cannot share
debug resources between QEMU and Guest on BOOKE architecture.
In the current design QEMU gets priority over guest, this means that if
QEMU is using debug resources then guest cannot use them and if guest is
using debug resource then QEMU can overwrite them.

Add AltiVec support in KVM for Book3e. FPU support gracefully reuse host
infrastructure so follow the same approach for AltiVec.
Book3e specification defines shared interrupt numbers for SPE and AltiVec
units. Still SPE is present in e200/e500v2 cores while AltiVec is present in
e6500 core. So we can currently decide at compile-time which of the SPE or
AltiVec units to support exclusively by using CONFIG_SPE_POSSIBLE and
CONFIG_PPC_E500MC defines. As Alexander Graf suggested, keep SPE and AltiVec
exception handlers distinct to improve code readability.
Guests have the privilege to enable AltiVec, so we always need to support
AltiVec in KVM and implicitly in host to reflect interrupts and to save/restore
the unit context. KVM will be loaded on cores with AltiVec unit only if
CONFIG_ALTIVEC is defined. Use this define to guard KVM AltiVec logic.

fc95ca7284 introduces a memset in
kvmppc_alloc_hpt since the general CMA doesn't clear the memory it
allocates.
However, the size argument passed to memset is computed from a signed value
and its signed bit is extended by the cast the compiler is doing. This lead
to extremely large size value when dealing with order value >= 31, and
almost all the memory following the allocated space is cleaned. As a
consequence, the system is panicing and may even fail spawning the kdump
kernel.
This fix makes use of an unsigned value for the memset's size argument to
avoid sign extension. Among this fix, another shift operation which may
lead to signed extended value too is also fixed.

they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation,
and with 3.16-rc changes). Since they were all within the subsystem,
I took care of them.
Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.
New features for ARM include:
- KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
- Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
- Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)
And for PPC:
- Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
- Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support
This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440. As a result, the
PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)
I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an independent
bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by; there was no
reason to wait for -rc2.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull second round of KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Here are the PPC and ARM changes for KVM, which I separated because
they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation, and
with 3.16-rc changes). Since they were all within the subsystem, I
took care of them.
Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.
New features for ARM include:
- KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
- Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
- Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)
And for PPC:
- Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
- Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support
This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440. As a result, the
PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)
I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an
independent bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by;
there was no reason to wait for -rc2"

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This is the powerpc new goodies for 3.17. The short story:
The biggest bit is Michael removing all of pre-POWER4 processor
support from the 64-bit kernel. POWER3 and rs64. This gets rid of a
ton of old cruft that has been bitrotting in a long while. It was
broken for quite a few versions already and nobody noticed. Nobody
uses those machines anymore. While at it, he cleaned up a bunch of
old dusty cabinets, getting rid of a skeletton or two.
Then, we have some base VFIO support for KVM, which allows assigning
of PCI devices to KVM guests, support for large 64-bit BARs on
"powernv" platforms, support for HMI (Hardware Management Interrupts)
on those same platforms, some sparse-vmemmap improvements (for memory
hotplug),
There is the usual batch of Freescale embedded updates (summary in the
merge commit) and fixes here or there, I think that's it for the
highlights"

Conventionally, we put output param to the end of param list and put the

that, so change it.

it is really needed.

This makes it possible to use IRQFDs on platforms that use the XICS
interrupt controller. To do this we implement kvm_irq_map_gsi() and
kvm_irq_map_chip_pin() in book3s_xics.c, so as to provide a 1-1 mapping
between global interrupt numbers and XICS interrupt source numbers.
For now, all interrupts are mapped as "IRQCHIP" interrupts, and no
MSI support is provided.
This means that kvm_set_irq can now get called with level == 0 or 1
as well as the powerpc-specific values KVM_INTERRUPT_SET,
KVM_INTERRUPT_UNSET and KVM_INTERRUPT_SET_LEVEL. We change
ics_deliver_irq() to accept all those values, and remove its
report_status argument, as it is always false, given that we don't
support KVM_IRQ_LINE_STATUS.
This also adds support for interrupt ack notifiers to the XICS code
so that the IRQFD resampler functionality can be supported.

Currently, the IRQFD code is conditional on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING.
So that we can have the IRQFD code compiled in without having the
IRQ routing code, this creates a new CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, makes
the IRQFD code conditional on it instead of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING,
and makes all the platforms that currently select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
also select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

This provides accessor functions for the KVM interrupt mappings, in
order to reduce the amount of code that accesses the fields of the
kvm_irq_routing_table struct, and restrict that code to one file,
virt/kvm/irqchip.c. The new functions are kvm_irq_map_gsi(), which
maps from a global interrupt number to a set of IRQ routing entries,
and kvm_irq_map_chip_pin, which maps from IRQ chip and pin numbers to
a global interrupt number.
This also moves the update of kvm_irq_routing_table::chip[][]
into irqchip.c, out of the various kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations. That means that none of the kvm_set_routing_entry
implementations need the kvm_irq_routing_table argument anymore,
so this removes it.
This does not change any locking or data lifetime rules.

arch/powerpc/kvm/kvm.o:(__tracepoints+0x1c0): first defined here
due to a duplicate definition of the tracepoint in trace.h and

the duplicate definition from trace_pr.h, and export it from

We handle FSCR feature bits (well, TAR only really today) lazily when the guest
starts using them. So when a guest activates the bit and later uses that feature
we enable it for real in hardware.
However, when the guest stops using that bit we don't stop setting it in
hardware. That means we can potentially lose a trap that the guest expects to
happen because it thinks a feature is not active.
This patch adds support to drop TAR when then guest turns it off in FSCR. While
at it it also restricts FSCR access to 64bit systems - 32bit ones don't have it.

Today the instruction emulator can get called via 2 separate code paths. It
can either be called by MMIO emulation detection code or by privileged
instruction traps.
This is bad, as both code paths prepare the environment differently. For MMIO
emulation we already know the virtual address we faulted on, so instructions
there don't have to actually fetch that information.
Split out the two separate use cases into separate files.

With Book3S KVM we can create both PR and HV VMs in parallel on the same
machine. That gives us new challenges on the CAPs we return - both have
different capabilities.
When we get asked about CAPs on the kvm fd, there's nothing we can do. We
can try to be smart and assume we're running HV if HV is available, PR
otherwise. However with the newly added VM CHECK_EXTENSION we can now ask
for capabilities directly on a VM which knows whether it's PR or HV.
With this patch I can successfully expose KVM PVINFO data to user space
in the PR case, fixing magic page mapping for PAPR guests.

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.

At present, kvmppc_ld calls kvmppc_xlate, and if kvmppc_xlate returns
any error indication, it returns -ENOENT, which is taken to mean an
HPTE not found error. However, the error could have been a segment
found (no SLB entry) or a permission error. Similarly,
kvmppc_pte_to_hva currently does permission checking, but any error
from it is taken by kvmppc_ld to mean that the access is an emulated
MMIO access. Also, kvmppc_ld does no execute permission checking.
This fixes these problems by (a) returning any error from kvmppc_xlate
directly, (b) moving the permission check from kvmppc_pte_to_hva
into kvmppc_ld, and (c) adding an execute permission check to kvmppc_ld.
This is similar to what was done for kvmppc_st() by commit 82ff911317c3

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
one_reg interface. This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
upper 32 bits. The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
reduces performance in the guest.
We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
since that would break existing userspace binaries. Instead we define
a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit. Userspace can still use
the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
as well.

On book3e, KVM uses load external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction to read
guest last instruction on the exit path. lwepx exceptions (DTLB_MISS, DSI
and LRAT), generated by loading a guest address, needs to be handled by KVM.
These exceptions are generated in a substituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1) from host context (MSR[GS] = 0).
Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context (MSR[GS] = 1),
doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host performance degradation.
lwepx exceptions originate from host state (MSR[GS] = 0) which implies
additional checks in DO_KVM macro (beside the current MSR[GS] = 1) by looking
at the Exception Syndrome Register (ESR[EPID]) and the External PID Load Context
Register (EPLC[EGS]). Doing this on each Data TLB miss exception is obvious
too intrusive for the host.
Read guest last instruction from kvmppc_load_last_inst() by searching for the
physical address and kmap it. This address the TODO for TLB eviction and
execute-but-not-read entries, and allow us to get rid of lwepx until we are
able to handle failures.
A simple stress benchmark shows a 1% sys performance degradation compared with
previous approach (lwepx without failure handling):
time for i in `seq 1 10000`; do /bin/echo > /dev/null; done
real 0m 8.85s
user 0m 4.34s
sys 0m 4.48s
vs
real 0m 8.84s
user 0m 4.36s
sys 0m 4.44s
A solution to use lwepx and to handle its exceptions in KVM would be to temporary
highjack the interrupt vector from host. This imposes additional synchronizations
for cores like FSL e6500 that shares host IVOR registers between hardware threads.
This optimized solution can be later developed on top of this patch.

On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.
This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.
Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

In the context of replacing kvmppc_ld() function calls with a version of
kvmppc_get_last_inst() which allow to fail, Alex Graf suggested this:
"If we get EMULATE_AGAIN, we just have to make sure we go back into the guest.
No need to inject an ISI into the guest - it'll do that all by itself.
With an error returning kvmppc_get_last_inst we can just use completely
get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_get_last_inst() instead."
As a intermediate step get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_ld()
instead.

The commit 1d628af7 "add load inst fixup" made an attempt to handle
failures generated by reading the guest current instruction. The fixup
code that was added works by chance hiding the real issue.
Load external pid (lwepx) instruction, used by KVM to read guest
instructions, is executed in a subsituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1). In consequence lwepx's TLB error and data storage
interrupts need to be handled by KVM, even though these interrupts
are generated from host context (MSR[GS] = 0) where lwepx is executed.
Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context
(MSR[GS] = 1), doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host
performance degradation. As a result, the host kernel handles lwepx
faults searching the faulting guest data address (loaded in DEAR) in
its own Logical Partition ID (LPID) 0 context. In case a host translation
is found the execution returns to the lwepx instruction instead of the
fixup, the host ending up in an infinite loop.
Revert the commit "add load inst fixup". lwepx issue will be addressed
in a subsequent patch without needing fixup code.

The magic page is defined as a 4k page of per-vCPU data that is shared
between the guest and the host to accelerate accesses to privileged
registers.
However, when the host is using 64k page size granularity we weren't quite
as strict about that rule anymore. Instead, we partially treated all of the
upper 64k as magic page and mapped only the uppermost 4k with the actual
magic contents.
This works well enough for Linux which doesn't use any memory in kernel
space in the upper 64k, but Mac OS X got upset. So this patch makes magic
page actually stay in a 4k range even on 64k page size hosts.
This patch fixes magic page usage with Mac OS X (using MOL) on 64k PAGE_SIZE
hosts for me.

Today we handle split real mode by mapping both instruction and data faults
into a special virtual address space that only exists during the split mode
phase.
This is good enough to catch 32bit Linux guests that use split real mode for
copy_from/to_user. In this case we're always prefixed with 0xc0000000 for our
instruction pointer and can map the user space process freely below there.
However, that approach fails when we're running KVM inside of KVM. Here the 1st
level last_inst reader may well be in the same virtual page as a 2nd level
interrupt handler.
It also fails when running Mac OS X guests. Here we have a 4G/4G split, so a
kernel copy_from/to_user implementation can easily overlap with user space
addresses.
The architecturally correct way to fix this would be to implement an instruction
interpreter in KVM that kicks in whenever we go into split real mode. This
interpreter however would not receive a great amount of testing and be a lot of
bloat for a reasonably isolated corner case.
So I went back to the drawing board and tried to come up with a way to make
split real mode work with a single flat address space. And then I realized that
we could get away with the same trick that makes it work for Linux:
Whenever we see an instruction address during split real mode that may collide,
we just move it higher up the virtual address space to a place that hopefully
does not collide (keep your fingers crossed!).
That approach does work surprisingly well. I am able to successfully run
Mac OS X guests with KVM and QEMU (no split real mode hacks like MOL) when I
apply a tiny timing probe hack to QEMU. I'd say this is a win over even more
broken split real mode :).

When a page lookup failed because we're not allowed to write to the page, we
should not overwrite that value with another lookup on the second PTEG which
will return "page not found". Instead, we should just tell the caller that we

When we have a page that we're not allowed to write to, xlate() will already
tell us -EPERM on lookup of that page. With the code as is we change it into
