There is currently no documentation about the halt polling capabilities of the kvm module. Add some documentation describing the mechanism as well as the module parameters to all better understanding of how halt polling should be used and the effect of tuning the module parameters.

KVM_HALT_POLL_NS_DEFAULT is an arch specific constant which sets the default value of the halt_poll_ns kvm module parameter which determines the global maximum halt polling interval. The current value for powerpc is 500000 (500us) which means that any repetitive workload with a period of less than that can drive the cpu usage to 100% where it may have been mostly idle without halt polling. This presents the possibility of a large increase in power usage with a comparatively small performance benefit. Reduce the default to 10000 (10us) and a user can tune this themselves to set their affinity for halt polling based on the trade off between power and performance which they are willing to make.

The kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns defines the global maximum halt polling interval and can be dynamically changed by writing to the /sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns sysfs file. However in kvm-hv this module parameter value is only ever checked when we grow the current polling interval for the given vcore. This means that if we decrease the halt_poll_ns value below the current polling interval we won't see any effect unless we try to grow the polling interval above the new max at some point or it happens to be shrunk below the halt_poll_ns value. Update the halt polling code so that we always check for a new module param value of halt_poll_ns and set the current halt polling interval to it if it's currently greater than the new max. This means that it's redundant to also perform this check in the grow_halt_poll_ns() function now.

The previous patch exported the variables which back the module parameters of the generic kvm module. Now use these variables in the kvm-hv module so that any change to the generic module parameters will also have the same effect for the kvm-hv module. This removes the duplication of the kvm module parameters which was redundant and should reduce confusion when tuning them.

The kvm module has the parameters halt_poll_ns, halt_poll_ns_grow, and halt_poll_ns_shrink. Halt polling was recently added to the powerpc kvm-hv module and these parameters were essentially duplicated for that. There is no benefit to this duplication and it can lead to confusion when trying to tune halt polling. Thus move the definition of these variables to kvm_host.h and export them. This will allow the kvm-hv module to use the same module parameters by accessing these variables, which will be implemented in the next patch, meaning that they will no longer be duplicated.

At present KVM on powerpc always reports KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB as enabled. However, the ioctl() it advertises (KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB) only actually works on KVM HV. On KVM PR it will fail with ENOTTY. QEMU already has a workaround for this, so it's not breaking things in practice, but it would be better to advertise this correctly.

The function kvmppc_set_arch_compat() is used to determine the value of the processor compatibility register (PCR) for a guest running in a given compatibility mode. There is currently no support for v3.00 of the ISA. Add support for v3.00 of the ISA which adds an ISA v2.07 compatilibity mode to the PCR. We also add a check to ensure the processor we are running on is capable of emulating the chosen processor (for example a POWER7 cannot emulate a POWER8, similarly with a POWER8 and a POWER9).

With POWER9, each CPU thread has its own MMU context and can be in the host or a guest independently of the other threads; there is still however a restriction that all threads must use the same type of address translation, either radix tree or hashed page table (HPT). Since we only support HPT guests on a HPT host at this point, we can treat the threads as being independent, and avoid all of the work of coordinating the CPU threads. To make this simpler, we introduce a new threads_per_vcore() function that returns 1 on POWER9 and threads_per_subcore on POWER7/8, and use that instead of threads_per_subcore or threads_per_core in various places. This also changes the value of the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability on POWER9 systems from 4 to 1, so that userspace will not try to create VMs with multiple vcpus per vcore. (If userspace did create a VM that thought it was in an SMT mode, the VM might try to use the msgsndp instruction, which will not work as expected. In future it may be possible to trap and emulate msgsndp in order to allow VMs to think they are in an SMT mode, if only for the purpose of allowing migration from POWER8 systems.) With all this, we can now run guests on POWER9 as long as the host is running with HPT translation. Since userspace currently has no way to request radix tree translation for the guest, the guest has no choice but to use HPT translation. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

The new XIVE interrupt controller on POWER9 can direct external interrupts to the hypervisor or the guest. The interrupts directed to the hypervisor are controlled by an LPCR bit called LPCR_HVICE, and come in as a "hypervisor virtualization interrupt". This sets the LPCR bit so that hypervisor virtualization interrupts can occur while we are in the guest. We then also need to cope with exiting the guest because of a hypervisor virtualization interrupt. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 replaces the various power-saving mode instructions on POWER8 (doze, nap, sleep and rvwinkle) with a single "stop" instruction, plus a register, PSSCR, which controls the depth of the power-saving mode. This replaces the use of the nap instruction when threads are idle during guest execution with the stop instruction, and adds code to set PSSCR to a value which will allow an SMT mode switch while the thread is idle (given that the core as a whole won't be idle in these cases).

POWER9 includes a new interrupt controller, called XIVE, which is quite different from the XICS interrupt controller on POWER7 and POWER8 machines. KVM-HV accesses the XICS directly in several places in order to send and clear IPIs and handle interrupts from PCI devices being passed through to the guest. In order to make the transition to XIVE easier, OPAL firmware will include an emulation of XICS on top of XIVE. Access to the emulated XICS is via OPAL calls. The one complication is that the EOI (end-of-interrupt) function can now return a value indicating that another interrupt is pending; in this case, the XIVE will not signal an interrupt in hardware to the CPU, and software is supposed to acknowledge the new interrupt without waiting for another interrupt to be delivered in hardware. This adapts KVM-HV to use the OPAL calls on machines where there is no XICS hardware. When there is no XICS, we look for a device-tree node with "ibm,opal-intc" in its compatible property, which is how OPAL indicates that it provides XICS emulation. In order to handle the EOI return value, kvmppc_read_intr() has become kvmppc_read_one_intr(), with a boolean variable passed by reference which can be set by the EOI functions to indicate that another interrupt is pending. The new kvmppc_read_intr() keeps calling kvmppc_read_one_intr() until there are no more interrupts to process. The return value from kvmppc_read_intr() is the largest non-zero value of the returns from kvmppc_read_one_intr(). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

On POWER9, the msgsnd instruction is able to send interrupts to other cores, as well as other threads on the local core. Since msgsnd is generally simpler and faster than sending an IPI via the XICS, we use msgsnd for all IPIs sent by KVM on POWER9. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry) and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions. Both instructions get a set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the instruction word. The tlbiel instruction now has a second register operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and should otherwise contain 0. This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9 as well as older processors. Since we only handle HPT guests so far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally execute different instructions depending on the processor. The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets. Rather than using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time and store it in the kvm_arch struct. That will make it possible to get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with compatibility with future processors. Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the guest on each processor. Therefore we don't set all bits in the tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

This adds code to handle two new guest-accessible special-purpose registers on POWER9: TIDR (thread ID register) and PSSCR (processor stop status and control register). They are context-switched between host and guest, and the guest values can be read and set via the one_reg interface. The PSSCR contains some fields which are guest-accessible and some which are only accessible in hypervisor mode. We only allow the guest-accessible fields to be read or set by userspace.

Some special-purpose registers that were present and accessible by guests on POWER8 no longer exist on POWER9, so this adds feature sections to ensure that we don't try to context-switch them when going into or out of a guest on POWER9. These are all relatively obscure, rarely-used registers, but we had to context-switch them on POWER8 to avoid creating a covert channel. They are: SPMC1, SPMC2, MMCRS, CSIGR, TACR, TCSCR, and ACOP.

On POWER9, the SDR1 register (hashed page table base address) is no longer used, and instead the hardware reads the HPT base address and size from the partition table. The partition table entry also contains the bits that specify the page size for the VRMA mapping, which were previously in the LPCR. The VPM0 bit of the LPCR is now reserved; the processor now always uses the VRMA (virtual real-mode area) mechanism for guest real-mode accesses in HPT mode, and the RMO (real-mode offset) mechanism has been dropped. When entering or exiting the guest, we now only have to set the LPIDR (logical partition ID register), not the SDR1 register. There is also no requirement now to transition via a reserved LPID value.

This adapts the KVM-HV hashed page table (HPT) code to read and write HPT entries in the new format defined in Power ISA v3.00 on POWER9 machines. The new format moves the B (segment size) field from the first doubleword to the second, and trims some bits from the AVA (abbreviated virtual address) and ARPN (abbreviated real page number) fields. As far as possible, the conversion is done when reading or writing the HPT entries, and the rest of the code continues to use the old format. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

POWER9 requires the host to set up a partition table, which is a table in memory indexed by logical partition ID (LPID) which contains the pointers to page tables and process tables for the host and each guest. This factors out the initialization of the partition table into a single function. This code was previously duplicated between hash_utils_64.c and pgtable-radix.c. This provides a function for setting a partition table entry, which is used in early MMU initialization, and will be used by KVM whenever a guest is created. This function includes a tlbie instruction which will flush all TLB entries for the LPID and all caches of the partition table entry for the LPID, across the system. This also moves a call to memblock_set_current_limit(), which was in radix_init_partition_table(), but has nothing to do with the partition table. By analogy with the similar code for hash, the call gets moved to near the end of radix__early_init_mmu(). It now gets called when running as a guest, whereas previously it would only be called if the kernel is running as the host.

The hashed page table MMU in POWER processors can update the R (reference) and C (change) bits in a HPTE at any time until the HPTE has been invalidated and the TLB invalidation sequence has completed. In kvmppc_h_protect, which implements the H_PROTECT hypercall, we read the HPTE, modify the second doubleword, invalidate the HPTE in memory, do the TLB invalidation sequence, and then write the modified value of the second doubleword back to memory. In doing so we could overwrite an R/C bit update done by hardware between when we read the HPTE and when the TLB invalidation completed. To fix this we re-read the second doubleword after the TLB invalidation and OR in the (possibly) new values of R and C. We can use an OR since hardware only ever sets R and C, never clears them. This race was found by code inspection. In principle this bug could cause occasional guest memory corruption under host memory pressure.

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.

This keeps a per vcpu cache for recently page faulted MMIO entries. On a page fault, if the entry exists in the cache, we can avoid some time-consuming paths, for example, looking up HPT, locking HPTE twice and searching mmio gfn from memslots, then directly call kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio(). In current implenment, we limit the size of cache to four. We think it's enough to cover the high-frequency MMIO HPTEs in most case. For example, considering the case of using virtio device, for virtio legacy devices, one HPTE could handle notifications from up to 1024 (64K page / 64 byte Port IO register) devices, so one cache entry is enough; for virtio modern devices, we always need one HPTE to handle notification for each device because modern device would use a 8M MMIO register to notify host instead of Port IO register, typically the system's configuration should not exceed four virtio devices per vcpu, four cache entry is also enough in this case. Of course, if needed, we could also modify the macro to a module parameter in the future. Signed-off-by: Yongji Xie <xyjxie@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

Sparse populated CPUID leafs are collected in a software provided leaf to avoid bloat of the x86_capability array, but there is no way to rebuild the real leafs (e.g. for KVM CPUID enumeration) other than rereading the CPUID leaf from the CPU. While this is possible it is problematic as it does not take software disabled features into account. If a feature is disabled on the host it should not be exposed to a guest either. Add get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() which rebuilds the leaf from the scattered cpuid table information and the active CPU features.

This changes the way that we support the new ISA v3.00 HPTE format. Instead of adapting everything that uses HPTE values to handle either the old format or the new format, depending on which CPU we are on, we now convert explicitly between old and new formats if necessary in the low-level routines that actually access HPTEs in memory. This limits the amount of code that needs to know about the new format and makes the conversions explicit. This is OK because the old format contains all the information that is in the new format. This also fixes operation under a hypervisor, because the H_ENTER hypercall (and other hypercalls that deal with HPTEs) will continue to require the HPTE value to be supplied in the old format. At present the kernel will not boot in HPT mode on POWER9 under a hypervisor. This fixes and partially reverts commit 50de596d ("powerpc/mm/hash: Add support for Power9 Hash", 2016-04-29).
