      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix thinko in try_lock_hpte() · 8b5869ad
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This fixes an error in the inline asm in try_lock_hpte() where we
      were erroneously using a register number as an immediate operand.
      The bug only affects an error path, and in fact the code will still
      work as long as the compiler chooses some register other than r0
      for the "bits" variable.  Nevertheless it should still be fixed.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow DTL to be set to address 0, length 0 · 9f8c8c78
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit 55b665b0 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a way for userspace
      to get/set per-vCPU areas") includes a check on the length of the
      dispatch trace log (DTL) to make sure the buffer is at least one entry
      long.  This is appropriate when registering a buffer, but the
      interface also allows for any existing buffer to be unregistered by
      specifying a zero address.  In this case the length check is not
      appropriate.  This makes the check conditional on the address being
      non-zero.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix accounting of stolen time · c7b67670
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Currently the code that accounts stolen time tends to overestimate the
      stolen time, and will sometimes report more stolen time in a DTL
      (dispatch trace log) entry than has elapsed since the last DTL entry.
      This can cause guests to underflow the user or system time measured
      for some tasks, leading to ridiculous CPU percentages and total runtimes
      being reported by top and other utilities.
      
      In addition, the current code was designed for the previous policy where
      a vcore would only run when all the vcpus in it were runnable, and so
      only counted stolen time on a per-vcore basis.  Now that a vcore can
      run while some of the vcpus in it are doing other things in the kernel
      (e.g. handling a page fault), we need to count the time when a vcpu task
      is preempted while it is not running as part of a vcore as stolen also.
      
      To do this, we bring back the BUSY_IN_HOST vcpu state and extend the
      vcpu_load/put functions to count preemption time while the vcpu is
      in that state.  Handling the transitions between the RUNNING and
      BUSY_IN_HOST states requires checking and updating two variables
      (accumulated time stolen and time last preempted), so we add a new
      spinlock, vcpu->arch.tbacct_lock.  This protects both the per-vcpu
      stolen/preempt-time variables, and the per-vcore variables while this
      vcpu is running the vcore.
      
      Finally, we now don't count time spent in userspace as stolen time.
      The task could be executing in userspace on behalf of the vcpu, or
      it could be preempted, or the vcpu could be genuinely stopped.  Since
      we have no way of dividing up the time between these cases, we don't
      count any of it as stolen.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Run virtual core whenever any vcpus in it can run · 8455d79e
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Currently the Book3S HV code implements a policy on multi-threaded
      processors (i.e. POWER7) that requires all of the active vcpus in a
      virtual core to be ready to run before we run the virtual core.
      However, that causes problems on reset, because reset stops all vcpus
      except vcpu 0, and can also reduce throughput since all four threads
      in a virtual core have to wait whenever any one of them hits a
      hypervisor page fault.
      
      This relaxes the policy, allowing the virtual core to run as soon as
      any vcpu in it is runnable.  With this, the KVMPPC_VCPU_STOPPED state
      and the KVMPPC_VCPU_BUSY_IN_HOST state have been combined into a single
      KVMPPC_VCPU_NOTREADY state, since we no longer need to distinguish
      between them.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fixes for late-joining threads · 2f12f034
      Paul Mackerras authored
      If a thread in a virtual core becomes runnable while other threads
      in the same virtual core are already running in the guest, it is
      possible for the latecomer to join the others on the core without
      first pulling them all out of the guest.  Currently this only happens
      rarely, when a vcpu is first started.  This fixes some bugs and
      omissions in the code in this case.
      
      First, we need to check for VPA updates for the latecomer and make
      a DTL entry for it.  Secondly, if it comes along while the master
      vcpu is doing a VPA update, we don't need to do anything since the
      master will pick it up in kvmppc_run_core.  To handle this correctly
      we introduce a new vcore state, VCORE_STARTING.  Thirdly, there is
      a race because we currently clear the hardware thread's hwthread_req
      before waiting to see it get to nap.  A latecomer thread could have
      its hwthread_req cleared before it gets to test it, and therefore
      never increment the nap_count, leading to messages about wait_for_nap
      timeouts.

      KVM: PPC: Book3s HV: Don't access runnable threads list without vcore lock · 913d3ff9
      Paul Mackerras authored
      There were a few places where we were traversing the list of runnable
      threads in a virtual core, i.e. vc->runnable_threads, without holding
      the vcore spinlock.  This extends the places where we hold the vcore
      spinlock to cover everywhere that we traverse that list.
      
      Since we possibly need to sleep inside kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault,
      this moves the call of it from kvmppc_handle_exit out to
      kvmppc_vcpu_run, where we don't hold the vcore lock.
      
      In kvmppc_vcore_blocked, we don't actually need to check whether
      all vcpus are ceded and don't have any pending exceptions, since the
      caller has already done that.  The caller (kvmppc_run_vcpu) wasn't
      actually checking for pending exceptions, so we add that.
      
      The change of if to while in kvmppc_run_vcpu is to make sure that we
      never call kvmppc_remove_runnable() when the vcore state is RUNNING or
      EXITING.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix some races in starting secondary threads · 7b444c67
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Subsequent patches implementing in-kernel XICS emulation will make it
      possible for IPIs to arrive at secondary threads at arbitrary times.
      This fixes some races in how we start the secondary threads, which
      if not fixed could lead to occasional crashes of the host kernel.
      
      This makes sure that (a) we have grabbed all the secondary threads,
      and verified that they are no longer in the kernel, before we start
      any thread, (b) that the secondary thread loads its vcpu pointer
      after clearing the IPI that woke it up (so we don't miss a wakeup),
      and (c) that the secondary thread clears its vcpu pointer before
      incrementing the nap count.  It also removes unnecessary setting
      of the vcpu and vcore pointers in the paca in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow KVM guests to stop secondary threads coming online · 512691d4
      Paul Mackerras authored
      When a Book3S HV KVM guest is running, we need the host to be in
      single-thread mode, that is, all of the cores (or at least all of
      the cores where the KVM guest could run) to be running only one
      active hardware thread.  This is because of the hardware restriction
      in POWER processors that all of the hardware threads in the core
      must be in the same logical partition.  Complying with this restriction
      is much easier if, from the host kernel's point of view, only one
      hardware thread is active.
      
      This adds two hooks in the SMP hotplug code to allow the KVM code to
      make sure that secondary threads (i.e. hardware threads other than
      thread 0) cannot come online while any KVM guest exists.  The KVM
      code still has to check that any core where it runs a guest has the
      secondary threads offline, but having done that check it can now be
      sure that they will not come online while the guest is running.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Provide a way for userspace to get/set per-vCPU areas · 55b665b0
      Paul Mackerras authored
      The PAPR paravirtualization interface lets guests register three
      different types of per-vCPU buffer areas in its memory for communication
      with the hypervisor.  These are called virtual processor areas (VPAs).
      Currently the hypercalls to register and unregister VPAs are handled
      by KVM in the kernel, and userspace has no way to know about or save
      and restore these registrations across a migration.
      
      This adds "register" codes for these three areas that userspace can
      use with the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG ioctls to see what addresses have
      been registered, and to register or unregister them.  This will be
      needed for guest hibernation and migration, and is also needed so
      that userspace can unregister them on reset (otherwise we corrupt
      guest memory after reboot by writing to the VPAs registered by the
      previous kernel).
      
      The "register" for the VPA is a 64-bit value containing the address,
      since the length of the VPA is fixed.  The "registers" for the SLB
      shadow buffer and dispatch trace log (DTL) are 128 bits long,
      consisting of the guest physical address in the high (first) 64 bits
      and the length in the low 64 bits.
      
      This also fixes a bug where we were calling init_vpa unconditionally,
      leading to an oops when unregistering the VPA.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S: Get/set guest FP regs using the GET/SET_ONE_REG interface · a8bd19ef
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This enables userspace to get and set all the guest floating-point
      state using the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls.  The floating-point state
      includes all of the traditional floating-point registers and the
      FPSCR (floating point status/control register), all the VMX/Altivec
      vector registers and the VSCR (vector status/control register), and
      on POWER7, the vector-scalar registers (note that each FP register
      is the high-order half of the corresponding VSR).
      
      Most of these are implemented in common Book 3S code, except for VSX
      on POWER7.  Because HV and PR differ in how they store the FP and VSX
      registers on POWER7, the code for these cases is not common.  On POWER7,
      the FP registers are the upper halves of the VSX registers vsr0 - vsr31.
      PR KVM stores vsr0 - vsr31 in two halves, with the upper halves in the
      arch.fpr[] array and the lower halves in the arch.vsr[] array, whereas
      HV KVM on POWER7 stores the whole VSX register in arch.vsr[].

      the KVM_[GS]ET_ONE_REG ioctls.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix calculation of guest phys address for MMIO emulation · 70bddfef
      Paul Mackerras authored
      In the case where the host kernel is using a 64kB base page size and
      the guest uses a 4k HPTE (hashed page table entry) to map an emulated
      MMIO device, we were calculating the guest physical address wrongly.
      We were calculating a gfn as the guest physical address shifted right
      16 bits (PAGE_SHIFT) but then only adding back in 12 bits from the
      effective address, since the HPTE had a 4k page size.  Thus the gpa
      reported to userspace was missing 4 bits.
      
      Instead, we now compute the guest physical address from the HPTE
      without reference to the host page size, and then compute the gfn
      by shifting the gpa right PAGE_SHIFT bits.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle memory slot deletion and modification correctly · dfe49dbd
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This adds an implementation of kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot for
      Book3S HV, and arranges for kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region to
      flush the dirty log when modifying an existing slot.  With this,
      we can handle deletion and modification of memory slots.
      
      kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot calls kvmppc_core_flush_memslot, which
      on Book3S HV now traverses the reverse map chains to remove any HPT
      (hashed page table) entries referring to pages in the memslot.  This
      gets called by generic code whenever deleting a memslot or changing
      the guest physical address for a memslot.
      
      We flush the dirty log in kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region for
      consistency with what x86 does.  We only need to flush when an
      existing memslot is being modified, because for a new memslot the
      rmap array (which stores the dirty bits) is all zero, meaning that
      every page is considered clean already, and when deleting a memslot
      we obviously don't care about the dirty bits any more.
