    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Nested guest entry via hypercall · 360cae31
    Paul Mackerras authored
    This adds a new hypercall, H_ENTER_NESTED, which is used by a nested
    hypervisor to enter one of its nested guests.  The hypercall supplies
    register values in two structs.  Those values are copied by the level 0
    (L0) hypervisor (the one which is running in hypervisor mode) into the
    vcpu struct of the L1 guest, and then the guest is run until an
    interrupt or error occurs which needs to be reported to L1 via the
    hypercall return value.
    
    Currently this assumes that the L0 and L1 hypervisors are the same
    endianness, and the structs passed as arguments are in native
    endianness.  If they are of different endianness, the version number
    check will fail and the hcall will be rejected.
    
    Nested hypervisors do not support indep_threads_mode=N, so this adds
    code to print a warning message if the administrator has set
    indep_threads_mode=N, and treat it as Y.
