      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Read kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode under kvm->lock · b5c6f760
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Commit 1e175d2e ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pack VCORE IDs to access full
VCPU ID space", 2018-07-25) added code that uses kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode
before any VCPUs are created.  However, userspace can change
kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode at any time up until the first VCPU is created.
Hence it is (theoretically) possible for the check in
kvmppc_core_vcpu_create_hv() to race with another userspace thread
changing kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode.

This fixes it by moving the test that uses kvm->arch.emul_smt_mode into
the block where kvm->lock is held.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow creating max number of VCPUs on POWER9 · 1ebe6b81
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Commit 1e175d2e ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pack VCORE IDs to access full
VCPU ID space", 2018-07-25) allowed use of VCPU IDs up to
KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on POWER9 in all guest SMT modes and guest emulated
hardware SMT modes.  However, with the current definition of
KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID, a guest SMT mode of 1 and an emulated SMT mode of 8,
it is only possible to create KVM_MAX_VCPUS / 2 VCPUS, because
threads_per_subcore is 4 on POWER9 CPUs.  (Using an emulated SMT mode
of 8 is useful when migrating VMs to or from POWER8 hosts.)

This increases KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID to 8 * KVM_MAX_VCPUS when HV KVM is
configured in, so that a full complement of KVM_MAX_VCPUS VCPUs can
be created on POWER9 in all guest SMT modes and emulated hardware
SMT modes.

      It is not currently possible to create the full number of possible
VCPUs (KVM_MAX_VCPUS) on Power9 with KVM-HV when the guest uses fewer
threads per core than its core stride (or "VSMT mode"). This is
because the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets grow beyond KVM_MAX_VCPUS
even though the VCPU ID is less than KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID.

To address this, "pack" the VCORE ID and XIVE offsets by using
knowledge of the way the VCPU IDs will be used when there are fewer
guest threads per core than the core stride. The primary thread of
each core will always be used first. Then, if the guest uses more than
one thread per core, these secondary threads will sequentially follow
the primary in each core.

So, the only way an ID above KVM_MAX_VCPUS can be seen, is if the
VCPUs are being spaced apart, so at least half of each core is empty,
and IDs between KVM_MAX_VCPUS and (KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2) can be mapped
into the second half of each core (4..7, in an 8-thread core).

Similarly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 2 are seen, at least 3/4 of
each core is being left empty, and we can map down into the second and
third quarters of each core (2, 3 and 5, 6 in an 8-thread core).

Lastly, if IDs above KVM_MAX_VCPUS * 4 are seen, only the primary
threads are being used and 7/8 of the core is empty, allowing use of
the 1, 5, 3 and 7 thread slots.

(Strides less than 8 are handled similarly.)

This allows the VCORE ID or offset to be calculated quickly from the
VCPU ID or XIVE server numbers, without access to the VCPU structure.

[paulus@ozlabs.org - tidied up comment a little, changed some WARN_ONCE
 to pr_devel, wrapped line, fixed id check.]
