      Add support for VZ guest CP0_PWBase, CP0_PWField, CP0_PWSize, and
      CP0_PWCtl registers for controlling the guest hardware page table walker
      (HTW) present on P5600 and P6600 cores. These guest registers need
      initialising on R6, context switching, and exposing via the KVM ioctl

      KVM: MIPS: Add VZ & TE capabilities · a8a3c426
      James Hogan authored
      
      
      Add new KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE capabilities, and in order
      to allow MIPS KVM to support VZ without confusing old users (which
      expect the trap & emulate implementation), define and start checking
      KVM_CREATE_VM type codes.
      
      The codes available are:
      
       - KVM_VM_MIPS_TE = 0
      
         This is the current value expected from the user, and will create a
         VM using trap & emulate in user mode, confined to the user mode
         address space. This may in future become unavailable if the kernel is
         only configured to support VZ, in which case the EINVAL error will be
         returned and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE won't be available even though
         KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ is.
      
       - KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ = 1
      
         This can be provided when the KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability is available
         to create a VM using VZ, with a fully virtualized guest virtual
         address space. If VZ support is unavailable in the kernel, the EINVAL
         error will be returned (although old kernels without the
         KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability may well succeed and create a trap &
         emulate VM).
      
      This is designed to allow the desired implementation (T&E vs VZ) to be
      potentially chosen at runtime rather than being fixed in the kernel
      configuration.

      KVM: race-free exit from KVM_RUN without POSIX signals · 460df4c1
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      
      
      The purpose of the KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK API is to let userspace "kick"
      a VCPU out of KVM_RUN through a POSIX signal.  A signal is attached
      to a dummy signal handler; by blocking the signal outside KVM_RUN and
      unblocking it inside, this possible race is closed:
      
                VCPU thread                     service thread
         --------------------------------------------------------------
              check flag
                                                set flag
                                                raise signal
              (signal handler does nothing)
              KVM_RUN
      
      However, one issue with KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK is that it has to take
      tsk->sighand->siglock on every KVM_RUN.  This lock is often on a
      remote NUMA node, because it is on the node of a thread's creator.
      Taking this lock can be very expensive if there are many userspace
      exits (as is the case for SMP Windows VMs without Hyper-V reference
      time counter).
      
      As an alternative, we can put the flag directly in kvm_run so that
      KVM can see it:
      
                VCPU thread                     service thread
         --------------------------------------------------------------
                                                raise signal
              signal handler
                set run->immediate_exit
              KVM_RUN
                check run->immediate_exit

      Expose the CP0_EntryLo0 and CP0_EntryLo1 registers through the KVM
      register access API. This is fairly straightforward for trap & emulate
      since we don't support the RI and XI bits. For the sake of future
      proofing (particularly for VZ) it is explicitly specified that the API
      always exposes the 64-bit version of these registers (i.e. with the RI
      and XI bits in bit positions 63 and 62 respectively), and they are
      implemented in trap_emul.c rather than mips.c to allow them to be
      implemented differently for VZ.

      The CP0_EBase register is a standard feature of MIPS32r2, so we should
      always have been implementing it properly. However the register value
      was ignored and wasn't exposed to userland.
      
      Fix the emulation of exceptions and interrupts to use the value stored
      in guest CP0_EBase, and fix the masks so that the top 3 bits (rather
      than the standard 2) are fixed, so that it is always in the guest KSeg0
      segment.
      
      Also add CP0_EBASE to the KVM one_reg interface so it can be accessed by
      userland, also allowing the CPU number field to be written (which isn't
      permitted by the guest).

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() to change HPT size · f98a8bf9
      David Gibson authored
      
      
      The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() is used to set the size of hashed page
      table (HPT) that userspace expects a guest VM to have, and is also used to
      clear that HPT when necessary (e.g. guest reboot).
      
      At present, once the ioctl() is called for the first time, the HPT size can
      never be changed thereafter - it will be cleared but always sized as from
      the first call.
      
      With upcoming HPT resize implementation, we're going to need to allow
      userspace to resize the HPT at reset (to change it back to the default size
      if the guest changed it).
      
      So, we need to allow this ioctl() to change the HPT size.
      
      This patch also updates Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt to reflect
      the new behaviour.  In fact the documentation was already slightly
      incorrect since 572abd56 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't fall back to

      This adds a new powerpc-specific KVM_CAP_SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT capability to

      resizing the hashed page table during guest runtime.  It also adds
      definitions for two new VM ioctl()s to implement this extension, and
      documentation of the same.
      
      Note that, HPT resizing is already possible with KVM PR without kernel
      modification, since the HPT is managed within userspace (qemu).  The
      capability defined here will only be set where an in-kernel implementation
      of resizing is necessary, i.e. for KVM HV.  To determine if the userspace
      resize implementation can be used, it's necessary to check
      KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB.  Unfortunately older kernels incorrectly set
      KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB even with KVM PR.  If userspace it want to support
      resizing with KVM PR on such kernels, it will need a workaround.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add userspace interfaces for POWER9 MMU · c9270132
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to
      find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest.  The two
      capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using
      the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a
      process table and segment tables.  (Note that the MMUs in the
      POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables
      when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does).
      
      The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify
      whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to
      specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process
      table.
      
      The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about
      the radix MMU.  It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries
      (base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the
      radix tree) and the encoding used to specify the various page
      sizes for the TLB invalidate entry instruction.
      
      Initially, both capabilities return 0 and the ioctls return -EINVAL,
      until the necessary infrastructure for them to operate correctly
      is added.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register state · 0d808df0
      Paul Mackerras authored
      
      
      When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress,
      we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state.  Although
      XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that
      does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER.
      
      This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER.  To allow userspace
      to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG
      specifier.
      
      The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER
      value being corrupted when it uses transactions.
