Some instructions can simply be replaced by load and store instructions to or from the magic page. This patch replaces often called instructions that fall into the above category. Signed-off-by:

We will soon start and replace instructions from the text section with other, paravirtualized versions. To ease the readability of those patches I split out the generic looping and magic page mapping code out. This patch still only contains stubs. But at least it loops through the text section :).

We have all the hypervisor pieces in place now, but the guest parts are still missing. This patch implements basic awareness of KVM when running Linux as guest. It doesn't do anything with it yet though. Signed-off-by:

Currently x86 is the only architecture that uses kvm_guest_init(). With PowerPC we're getting a second user, but the signature is different there and we don't need to export it, as it uses the normal kernel init framework. So let's move the x86 specific definition of that function over to the x86 specfic header file. Signed-off-by:

Now that we have the shared page in place and the MMU code knows about the magic page, we can expose that capability to the guest! Signed-off-by:

We need to override EA as well as PA lookups for the magic page. When the guest tells us to project it, the magic page overrides any guest mappings. In order to reflect that, we need to hook into all the MMU layers of KVM to force map the magic page if necessary. Signed-off-by:

We will be introducing a method to project the shared page in guest context. As soon as we're talking about this coupling, the shared page is colled magic page. This patch introduces simple defines, so the follow-up patches are easier to read. Signed-off-by:

On PowerPC it's very normal to not support all of the physical RAM in real mode. To check if we're matching on the shared page or not, we need to know the limits so we can restrain ourselves to that range. So let's make it a define instead of open-coding it. And while at it, let's also increase it. Signed-off-by:

When the guest turns on interrupts again, it needs to know if we have an interrupt pending for it. Because if so, it should rather get out of guest context and get the interrupt. So we introduce a new field in the shared page that we use to tell the guest that there's a pending interrupt lying around. Signed-off-by:

While running in hooked code we need to store register contents out because we must not clobber any registers. So let's add some fields to the shared page we can just happily write to. Signed-off-by:

When running in hooked code we need a way to disable interrupts without clobbering any interrupts or exiting out to the hypervisor. To achieve this, we have an additional critical field in the shared page. If that field is equal to the r1 register of the guest, it tells the hypervisor that we're in such a critical section and thus may not receive any interrupts. Signed-off-by:

To communicate with KVM directly we need to plumb some sort of interface between the guest and KVM. Usually those interfaces use hypercalls. This hypercall implementation is described in the last patch of the series in a special documentation file. Please read that for further information. This patch implements stubs to handle KVM PPC hypercalls on the host and guest side alike. Signed-off-by:

When in kernel mode there are 4 additional registers available that are simple data storage. Instead of exiting to the hypervisor to read and write those, we can just share them with the guest using the page. This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page. Signed-off-by:

The SRR0 and SRR1 registers contain cached values of the PC and MSR respectively. They get written to by the hypervisor when an interrupt occurs or directly by the kernel. They are also used to tell the rfi(d) instruction where to jump to. Because it only gets touched on defined events that, it's very simple to share with the guest. Hypervisor and guest both have full r/w access. This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page. Signed-off-by:

The DAR register contains the address a data page fault occured at. This register behaves pretty much like a simple data storage register that gets written to on data faults. There is no hypervisor interaction required on read or write. This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page. Signed-off-by:

The DSISR register contains information about a data page fault. It is fully read/write from inside the guest context and we don't need to worry about interacting based on writes of this register. This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page. Signed-off-by:

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to toggle in critical sections. So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest. Signed-off-by:

For transparent variable sharing between the hypervisor and guest, I introduce a shared page. This shared page will contain all the registers the guest can read and write safely without exiting guest context. This patch only implements the stubs required for the basic structure of the shared page. The actual register moving follows. Signed-off-by:
