    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: implement hash guest support · 079a09a5
    Nicholas Piggin authored
    Implement hash guest support. Guest entry/exit has to restore and
    save/clear the SLB, plus several other bits to accommodate hash guests
    in the P9 path. Radix host, hash guest support is removed from the P7/8
    path.
    
    The HPT hcalls and faults are not handled in real mode, which is a
    performance regression. A worst-case fork/exit microbenchmark takes 3x
    longer after this patch. kbuild benchmark performance is in the noise,
    but the slowdown is likely to be noticed somewhere.
    
    For now, accept this penalty for the benefit of simplifying the P7/8
    paths and unifying P9 hash with the new code, because hash is a less
    important configuration than radix on processors that support it. Hash
    will benefit from future optimisations to this path, including possibly
    a faster path to handle such hcalls and interrupts without doing a full
    exit.
