On LPAR guest systems Linux enables the shadow SLB to indicate to the
hypervisor a number of SLB entries that always have to be available.
Today we go through this shadow SLB and disable all ESID's valid bits.
However, pHyp doesn't like this approach very much and honors us with
fancy machine checks.
Fortunately the shadow SLB descriptor also has an entry that indicates
the number of valid entries following. During the lifetime of a guest
we can just swap that value to 0 and don't have to worry about the
SLB restoration magic.
While we're touching the code, let's also make it more readable (get
rid of rldicl), allow it to deal with a dynamic number of bolted
SLB entries and only do shadow SLB swizzling on LPAR systems.

We didn't make use of SLB entry 0 because ... of no good reason. SLB entry 0
will always be used by the Linux linear SLB entry, so the fact that slbia
does not invalidate it doesn't matter as we overwrite SLB 0 on exit anyway.
Just enable use of SLB entry 0 for our shadow SLB code.

The code that delivered a machine check to the guest after handling
it in real mode failed to load up r11 before calling kvmppc_msr_interrupt,
which needs the old MSR value in r11 so it can see the transactional

This adds workarounds for two hardware bugs in the POWER8 performance
monitor unit (PMU), both related to interrupt generation. The effect
of these bugs is that PMU interrupts can get lost, leading to tools
such as perf reporting fewer counts and samples than they should.
The first bug relates to the PMAO (perf. mon. alert occurred) bit in
MMCR0; setting it should cause an interrupt, but doesn't. The other
bug relates to the PMAE (perf. mon. alert enable) bit in MMCR0.
Setting PMAE when a counter is negative and counter negative
conditions are enabled to cause alerts should cause an alert, but
doesn't.
The workaround for the first bug is to create conditions where a
counter will overflow, whenever we are about to restore a MMCR0
value that has PMAO set (and PMAO_SYNC clear). The workaround for
the second bug is to freeze all counters using MMCR2 before reading
MMCR0.

Current, when testing whether a page is dirty (when constructing the
bitmap for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl), we test the C (changed) bit
in the HPT entries mapping the page, and if it is 0, we consider the
page to be clean. However, the Power ISA doesn't require processors
to set the C bit to 1 immediately when writing to a page, and in fact
allows them to delay the writeback of the C bit until they receive a
TLB invalidation for the page. Thus it is possible that the page
could be dirty and we miss it.
Now, if there are vcpus running, this is not serious since the
collection of the dirty log is racy already - some vcpu could dirty
the page just after we check it. But if there are no vcpus running we
should return definitive results, in case we are in the final phase of
migrating the guest.
Also, if the permission bits in the HPTE don't allow writing, then we
know that no CPU can set C. If the HPTE was previously writable and
the page was modified, any C bit writeback would have been flushed out
by the tlbie that we did when changing the HPTE to read-only.
Otherwise we need to do a TLB invalidation even if the C bit is 0, and
then check the C bit.

The dirty map that we construct for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl has
one bit per system page (4K/64K). Currently, we only set one bit in
the map for each HPT entry with the Change bit set, even if the HPT is
for a large page (e.g., 16MB). Userspace then considers only the
first system page dirty, though in fact the guest may have modified
anywhere in the large page.
To fix this, we make kvm_test_clear_dirty() return the actual number
of pages that are dirty (and rename it to kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages()
to emphasize that that's what it returns). In kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log()
we then set that many bits in the dirty map.

Currently, when a huge page is faulted in for a guest, we select the
rmap chain to insert the HPTE into based on the guest physical address
that the guest tried to access. Since there is an rmap chain for each
system page, there are many rmap chains for the area covered by a huge
page (e.g. 256 for 16MB pages when PAGE_SIZE = 64kB), and the huge-page
HPTE could end up in any one of them.
For consistency, and to make the huge-page HPTEs easier to find, we now
put huge-page HPTEs in the rmap chain corresponding to the base address
of the huge page.

The global_invalidates() function contains a check that is intended
to tell whether we are currently executing in the context of a hypercall
issued by the guest. The reason is that the optimization of using a
local TLB invalidate instruction is only valid in that context. The
check was testing local_paca->kvm_hstate.kvm_vcore, which gets set
when entering the guest but no longer gets cleared when exiting the
guest. To fix this, we use the kvm_vcpu field instead, which does
get cleared when exiting the guest, by the kvmppc_release_hwthread()
calls inside kvmppc_run_core().
The effect of having the check wrong was that when kvmppc_do_h_remove()
got called from htab_write() on the destination machine during a
migration, it cleared the current cpu's bit in kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush.
This meant that when the guest started running in the destination VM,
it may miss out on doing a complete TLB flush, and therefore may end
up using stale TLB entries from a previous guest that used the same
LPID value.
This should make migration more reliable.

We worked around some nasty KVM magic page hcall breakages:
1) NX bit not honored, so ignore NX when we detect it
2) LE guests swizzle hypercall instruction
Without these fixes in place, there's no way it would make sense to expose kvm
hypercalls to a guest. Chances are immensely high it would trip over and break.
So add a new CAP that gives user space a hint that we have workarounds for the

the guest CPU is anything POWER7 or higher and the host does not have fixes

When we reset the in-kernel MPIC controller, we forget to reset some hidden

To make sure we stay in sync and don't forget hidden state, treat reset of

On recent IBM Power CPUs, while the hashed page table is looked up using
the page size from the segmentation hardware (i.e. the SLB), it is
possible to have the HPT entry indicate a larger page size. Thus for
example it is possible to put a 16MB page in a 64kB segment, but since
the hash lookup is done using a 64kB page size, it may be necessary to
put multiple entries in the HPT for a single 16MB page. This
capability is called mixed page-size segment (MPSS). With MPSS,
there are two relevant page sizes: the base page size, which is the
size used in searching the HPT, and the actual page size, which is the
size indicated in the HPT entry. [ Note that the actual page size is
always >= base page size ].
We use "ibm,segment-page-sizes" device tree node to advertise
the MPSS support to PAPR guest. The penc encoding indicates whether
we support a specific combination of base page size and actual
page size in the same segment. We also use the penc value in the
LP encoding of HPTE entry.
This patch exposes MPSS support to KVM guest by advertising the
feature via "ibm,segment-page-sizes". It also adds the necessary changes
to decode the base page size and the actual page size correctly from the
HPTE entry.

Today when KVM tries to reserve memory for the hash page table it

falls back to CMA's reserved region. One of the side effects of
this is that we could end up exhausting the page allocator and
get linux into OOM conditions while we still have plenty of space
available in CMA.

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used

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

I noticed on some of my systems that page fault tracing doesn't
work:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 1 > events/exceptions/enable
cat trace;
# nothing shows up
I eventually traced it down to CONFIG_KVM_GUEST. At least in a
KVM VM, enabling that option breaks page fault tracing, and
disabling fixes it. I tried on some old kernels and this does
not appear to be a regression: it never worked.
There are two page-fault entry functions today. One when tracing
is on and another when it is off. The KVM code calls do_page_fault()
directly instead of calling the traced version:
> dotraplinkage void __kprobes
> do_async_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long
> error_code)
> {
> enum ctx_state prev_state;
>
> switch (kvm_read_and_reset_pf_reason()) {
> default:
> do_page_fault(regs, error_code);
> break;
> case KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_NOT_PRESENT:
I'm also having problems with the page fault tracing on bare
metal (same symptom of no trace output). I'm unsure if it's
related.
Steven had an alternative to this which has zero overhead when
tracing is off where this includes the standard noops even when
tracing is disabled. I'm unconvinced that the extra complexity
of his apporach:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140508194508.561ed220@gandalf.local.home
is worth it, expecially considering that the KVM code is already
making page fault entry slower here. This solution is
dirt-simple.

CS.RPL is not equal to the CPL in the few instructions between
setting CR0.PE and reloading CS. And CS.DPL is also not equal
to the CPL for conforming code segments.
However, SS.DPL *is* always equal to the CPL except for the weird
case of SYSRET on AMD processors, which sets SS.DPL=SS.RPL from the
value in the STAR MSR, but force CPL=3 (Intel instead forces
SS.DPL=SS.RPL=CPL=3).
So this patch:
- modifies SVM to update the CPL from SS.DPL rather than CS.RPL;
the above case with SYSRET is not broken further, and the way
to fix it would be to pass the CPL to userspace and back
- modifies VMX to always return the CPL from SS.DPL (except
forcing it to 0 if we are emulating real mode via vm86 mode;
in vm86 mode all DPLs have to be 3, but real mode does allow
privileged instructions). It also removes the CPL cache,
which becomes a duplicate of the SS access rights cache.
This fixes doing KVM_IOCTL_SET_SREGS exactly after setting
CR0.PE=1 but before CS has been reloaded.

During task switch, all of CS.DPL, CS.RPL, SS.DPL must match (in addition
to all the other requirements) and will be the new CPL. So far this
worked by carefully setting the CS selector and flag before doing the
task switch; setting CS.selector will already change the CPL.
However, this will not work once we get the CPL from SS.DPL, because
then you will have to set the full segment descriptor cache to change
the CPL. ctxt->ops->cpl(ctxt) will then return the old CPL during the
task switch, and the check that SS.DPL == CPL will fail.
Temporarily assume that the CPL comes from CS.RPL during task switch
to a protected-mode task. This is the same approach used in QEMU's
emulation code, which (until version 2.0) manually tracks the CPL.
