      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore SIAR and SDAR along with other PMU registers · 14941789
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Currently we are not saving and restoring the SIAR and SDAR registers in
      the PMU (performance monitor unit) on guest entry and exit.  The result
      is that performance monitoring tools in the guest could get false
      information about where a program was executing and what data it was
      accessing at the time of a performance monitor interrupt.  This fixes
      it by saving and restoring these registers along with the other PMU
      registers on guest entry/exit.
      
      This also provides a way for userspace to access these values for a
      vcpu via the one_reg interface.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Reserve POWER8 space in get/set_one_reg · 3b783474
      Michael Neuling authored
      This reserves space in get/set_one_reg ioctl for the extra guest state
      needed for POWER8.  It doesn't implement these at all, it just reserves
      them so that the ABI is defined now.
      
      A few things to note here:
      
      - This add *a lot* state for transactional memory.  TM suspend mode,
        this is unavoidable, you can't simply roll back all transactions and
        store only the checkpointed state.  I've added this all to
        get/set_one_reg (including GPRs) rather than creating a new ioctl
        which returns a struct kvm_regs like KVM_GET_REGS does.  This means we
        if we need to extract the TM state, we are going to need a bucket load
        of IOCTLs.  Hopefully most of the time this will not be needed as we
        can look at the MSR to see if TM is active and only grab them when
        needed.  If this becomes a bottle neck in future we can add another
        ioctl to grab all this state in one go.
      
      - The TM state is offset by 0x80000000.
      
      - For TM, I've done away with VMX and FP and created a single 64x128 bit
        VSX register space.
      
      - I've left a space of 1 (at 0x9c) since Paulus needs to add a value
        which applies to POWER7 as well.
