      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow for running POWER9 host in single-threaded mode · 516f7898
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This patch allows for a mode on POWER9 hosts where we control all the
threads of a core, much as we do on POWER8.  The mode is controlled by
a module parameter on the kvm_hv module, called "indep_threads_mode".
The normal mode on POWER9 is the "independent threads" mode, with
indep_threads_mode=Y, where the host is in SMT4 mode (or in fact any
desired SMT mode) and each thread independently enters and exits from
KVM guests without reference to what other threads in the core are
doing.

If indep_threads_mode is set to N at the point when a VM is started,
KVM will expect every core that the guest runs on to be in single
threaded mode (that is, threads 1, 2 and 3 offline), and will set the
flag that prevents secondary threads from coming online.  We can still
use all four threads; the code that implements dynamic micro-threading
on POWER8 will become active in over-commit situations and will allow
up to three other VCPUs to be run on the secondary threads of the core
whenever a VCPU is run.

The reason for wanting this mode is that this will allow us to run HPT
guests on a radix host on a POWER9 machine that does not support
"mixed mode", that is, having some threads in a core be in HPT mode
while other threads are in radix mode.  It will also make it possible
to implement a "strict threads" mode in future, if desired.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add infrastructure for running HPT guests on radix host · 18c3640c
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This sets up the machinery for switching a guest between HPT (hashed
page table) and radix MMU modes, so that in future we can run a HPT
guest on a radix host on POWER9 machines.

* The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl can now specify either HPT or
  radix mode, on a radix host.

* The KVM_CAP_PPC_MMU_HASH_V3 capability now returns 1 on POWER9
  with HV KVM on a radix host.

* The KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO returns information about the HPT MMU on a
  radix host.

* The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl on a radix host will switch the
  guest to HPT mode and allocate a HPT.

* For simplicity, we now allocate the rmap array for each memslot,
  even on a radix host, since it will be needed if the guest switches
  to HPT mode.

* Since we cannot yet run a HPT guest on a radix host, the KVM_RUN
  ioctl will return an EINVAL error in that case.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Unify dirty page map between HPT and radix · e641a317
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Currently, the HPT code in HV KVM maintains a dirty bit per guest page
in the rmap array, whether or not dirty page tracking has been enabled
for the memory slot.  In contrast, the radix code maintains a dirty
bit per guest page in memslot->dirty_bitmap, and only does so when
dirty page tracking has been enabled.

This changes the HPT code to maintain the dirty bits in the memslot
dirty_bitmap like radix does.  This results in slightly less code
overall, and will mean that we do not lose the dirty bits when
transitioning between HPT and radix mode in future.

There is one minor change to behaviour as a result.  With HPT, when
dirty tracking was enabled for a memslot, we would previously clear
all the dirty bits at that point (both in the HPT entries and in the
rmap arrays), meaning that a KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl immediately
following would show no pages as dirty (assuming no vcpus have run
in the meantime).  With this change, the dirty bits on HPT entries
are not cleared at the point where dirty tracking is enabled, so
KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG would show as dirty any guest pages that are
resident in the HPT and dirty.  This is consistent with what happens
on radix.

This also fixes a bug in the mark_pages_dirty() function for radix
(in the sense that the function no longer exists).  In the case where
a large page of 64 normal pages or more is marked dirty, the
addressing of the dirty bitmap was incorrect and could write past
the end of the bitmap.  Fortunately this case was never hit in
practice because a 2MB large page is only 32 x 64kB pages, and we
don't support backing the guest with 1GB huge pages at this point.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Rename hpte_setup_done to mmu_ready · 1b151ce4
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This renames the kvm->arch.hpte_setup_done field to mmu_ready because
we will want to use it for radix guests too -- both for setting things
up before vcpu execution, and for excluding vcpus from executing while
MMU-related things get changed, such as in future switching the MMU
from radix to HPT mode or vice-versa.

This also moves the call to kvmppc_setup_partition_table() that was
done in kvmppc_hv_setup_htab_rma() for HPT guests, and the setting
of mmu_ready, into the caller in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv().

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't rely on host's page size information · 8dc6cca5
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This removes the dependence of KVM on the mmu_psize_defs array (which
stores information about hardware support for various page sizes) and
the things derived from it, chiefly hpte_page_sizes[], hpte_page_size(),
hpte_actual_page_size() and get_sllp_encoding().  We also no longer
rely on the mmu_slb_size variable or the MMU_FTR_1T_SEGMENTS feature
bit.

The reason for doing this is so we can support a HPT guest on a radix
host.  In a radix host, the mmu_psize_defs array contains information
about page sizes supported by the MMU in radix mode rather than the
page sizes supported by the MMU in HPT mode.  Similarly, mmu_slb_size
and the MMU_FTR_1T_SEGMENTS bit are not set.

Instead we hard-code knowledge of the behaviour of the HPT MMU in the
POWER7, POWER8 and POWER9 processors (which are the only processors
supported by HV KVM) - specifically the encoding of the LP fields in
the HPT and SLB entries, and the fact that they have 32 SLB entries
and support 1TB segments.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Only install valid SLBs during KVM_SET_SREGS · f4093ee9
      Greg Kurz authored 
      Userland passes an array of 64 SLB descriptors to KVM_SET_SREGS,
some of which are valid (ie, SLB_ESID_V is set) and the rest are
likely all-zeroes (with QEMU at least).

Each of them is then passed to kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_slbmte(), which
assumes to find the SLB index in the 3 lower bits of its rb argument.
When passed zeroed arguments, it happily overwrites the 0th SLB entry
with zeroes. This is exactly what happens while doing live migration
with QEMU when the destination pushes the incoming SLB descriptors to
KVM PR. When reloading the SLBs at the next synchronization, QEMU first
clears its SLB array and only restore valid ones, but the 0th one is
now gone and we cannot access the corresponding memory anymore:

(qemu) x/x $pc
c0000000000b742c: Cannot access memory

To avoid this, let's filter out non-valid SLB entries. While here, we
also force a full SLB flush before installing new entries. Since SLB
is for 64-bit only, we now build this path conditionally to avoid a
build break on 32-bit, which doesn't define SLB_ESID_V.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't call real-mode XICS hypercall handlers if not enabled · 00bb6ae5
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      When running a guest on a POWER9 system with the in-kernel XICS
emulation disabled (for example by running QEMU with the parameter
"-machine pseries,kernel_irqchip=off"), the kernel does not pass
the XICS-related hypercalls such as H_CPPR up to userspace for
emulation there as it should.

The reason for this is that the real-mode handlers for these
hypercalls don't check whether a XICS device has been instantiated
before calling the xics-on-xive code.  That code doesn't check
either, leading to potential NULL pointer dereferences because
vcpu->arch.xive_vcpu is NULL.  Those dereferences won't cause an
exception in real mode but will lead to kernel memory corruption.

This fixes it by adding kvmppc_xics_enabled() checks before calling
the XICS functions.

      KVM: PPC: Tie KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM to the user-visible TM feature · 2a3d6553
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      Currently we use CPU_FTR_TM to decide if the CPU/kernel can support
TM (Transactional Memory), and if it's true we advertise that to
Qemu (or similar) via KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM.

PPC_FEATURE2_HTM is the user-visible feature bit, which indicates that
the CPU and kernel can support TM. Currently CPU_FTR_TM and
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM always have the same value, either true or false, so
using the former for KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM is correct.

However some Power9 CPUs can operate in a mode where TM is enabled but
TM suspended state is disabled. In this mode CPU_FTR_TM is true, but
PPC_FEATURE2_HTM is false. Instead a different PPC_FEATURE2 bit is
set, to indicate that this different mode of TM is available.

It is not safe to let guests use TM as-is, when the CPU is in this
mode. So to prevent that from happening, use PPC_FEATURE2_HTM to
determine the value of KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Explicitly disable HPT operations on radix guests · 891f1ebf
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This adds code to make sure that we don't try to access the
non-existent HPT for a radix guest using the htab file for the VM
in debugfs, a file descriptor obtained using the KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD
ioctl, or via the KVM_PPC_RESIZE_HPT_{PREPARE,COMMIT} ioctls.

At present nothing bad happens if userspace does access these
interfaces on a radix guest, mostly because kvmppc_hpt_npte()
gives 0 for a radix guest, which in turn is because 1 << -4
comes out as 0 on POWER processors.  However, that relies on
undefined behaviour, so it is better to be explicit about not
accessing the HPT for a radix guest.
