This adds code to enable the HPT resizing code to work on POWER9, which uses a slightly modified HPT entry format compared to POWER8. On POWER9, we convert HPTEs read from the HPT from the new format to the old format so that the rest of the HPT resizing code can work as before. HPTEs written to the new HPT are converted to the new format as the last step before writing them into the new HPT. This takes out the checks added by commit bcd3bb63 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Disable HPT resizing on POWER9 for now", 2017-02-18), now that HPT resizing works on POWER9. On POWER9, when we pivot to the new HPT, we now call kvmppc_setup_partition_table() to update the partition table in order to make the hardware use the new HPT.

This fixes the computation of the HPTE index to use when the HPT resizing code encounters a bolted HPTE which is stored in its secondary HPTE group. The code inverts the HPTE group number, which is correct, but doesn't then mask it with new_hash_mask. As a result, new_pteg will be effectively negative, resulting in new_hptep pointing before the new HPT, which will corrupt memory. In addition, this removes two BUG_ON statements. The condition that the BUG_ONs were testing -- that we have computed the hash value incorrectly -- has never been observed in testing, and if it did occur, would only affect the guest, not the host. Given that BUG_ON should only be used in conditions where the kernel (i.e. the host kernel, in this case) can't possibly continue execution, it is not appropriate here.

When copying between the vcpu and svcpu, we may get scheduled away onto a different host CPU which in turn means our svcpu pointer may change. That means we need to atomically copy to and from the svcpu with preemption disabled, so that all code around it always sees a coherent state.

Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP reveals that HV KVM tries to read guest memory, in order to emulate guest instructions, while preempt is disabled and a vcore lock is held. This occurs in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), called from post_guest_process(), when emulating guest doorbell instructions on POWER9 systems, and also when checking whether we have hit a hypervisor breakpoint. Reading guest memory can cause a page fault and thus cause the task to sleep, so we need to avoid reading guest memory while holding a spinlock or when preempt is disabled. To fix this, we move the preempt_enable() in kvmppc_run_core() to before the loop that calls post_guest_process() for each vcore that has just run, and we drop and re-take the vcore lock around the calls to kvmppc_emulate_debug_inst() and kvmppc_emulate_doorbell_instr(). Dropping the lock is safe with respect to the iteration over the runnable vcpus in post_guest_process(); for_each_runnable_thread is actually safe to use locklessly. It is possible for a vcpu to become runnable and add itself to the runnable_threads array (code near the beginning of kvmppc_run_vcpu()) and then get included in the iteration in post_guest_process despite the fact that it has not just run. This is benign because vcpu->arch.trap and vcpu->arch.ceded will be zero.

This works on top of the single escalation support. When in single escalation, with this change, we will keep the escalation interrupt disabled unless the VCPU is in H_CEDE (idle). In any other case, we know the VCPU will be rescheduled and thus there is no need to take escalation interrupts in the host whenever a guest interrupt fires.

The prodded flag is only cleared at the beginning of H_CEDE, so every time we have an escalation, we will cause the *next* H_CEDE to return immediately. Instead use a dedicated "irq_pending" flag to indicate that a guest interrupt is pending for the VCPU. We don't reuse the existing exception bitmap so as to avoid expensive atomic ops.

That feature, provided by Power9 DD2.0 and later, when supported by newer OPAL versions, allows us to sacrifice a queue (priority 7) in favor of merging all the escalation interrupts of the queues of a single VP into a single interrupt. This reduces the number of host interrupts used up by KVM guests especially when those guests use multiple priorities. It will also enable a future change to control the masking of the escalation interrupts more precisely to avoid spurious ones.

Hypervisor maintenance interrupts (HMIs) are generated by various causes, signalled by bits in the hypervisor maintenance exception register (HMER). In most cases calling OPAL to handle the interrupt is the correct thing to do, but the "debug trigger" HMIs signalled by PPC bit 17 (bit 46) of HMER are used to invoke software workarounds for hardware bugs, and OPAL does not have any code to handle this cause. The debug trigger HMI is used in POWER9 DD2.0 and DD2.1 chips to work around a hardware bug in executing vector load instructions to cache inhibited memory. In POWER9 DD2.2 chips, it is generated when conditions are detected relating to threads being in TM (transactional memory) suspended mode when the core SMT configuration needs to be reconfigured. The kernel currently has code to detect the vector CI load condition, but only when the HMI occurs in the host, not when it occurs in a guest. If a HMI occurs in the guest, it is always passed to OPAL, and then we always re-sync the timebase, because the HMI cause might have been a timebase error, for which OPAL would re-sync the timebase, thus removing the timebase offset which KVM applied for the guest. Since we don't know what OPAL did, we don't know whether to subtract the timebase offset from the timebase, so instead we re-sync the timebase. This adds code to determine explicitly what the cause of a debug trigger HMI will be. This is based on a new device-tree property under the CPU nodes called ibm,hmi-special-triggers, if it is present, or otherwise based on the PVR (processor version register). The handling of debug trigger HMIs is pulled out into a separate function which can be called from the KVM guest exit code. If this function handles and clears the HMI, and no other HMI causes remain, then we skip calling OPAL and we proceed to subtract the guest timebase offset from the timebase. The overall handling for HMIs that occur in the host (i.e. not in a KVM guest) is largely unchanged, except that we now don't set the flag for the vector CI load workaround on DD2.2 processors. This also removes a BUG_ON in the KVM code. BUG_ON is generally not useful in KVM guest entry/exit code since it is difficult to handle the resulting trap gracefully.

POWER9 chip versions starting with "Nimbus" v2.2 can support running with some threads of a core in HPT mode and others in radix mode. This means that we don't have to prohibit independent-threads mode when running a HPT guest on a radix host, and we don't have to do any of the synchronization between threads that was introduced in commit c0101509 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Run HPT guests on POWER9 radix hosts", 2017-10-19). Rather than using up another CPU feature bit, we just do an explicit test on the PVR (processor version register) at module startup time to determine whether we have to take steps to avoid having some threads in HPT mode and some in radix mode (so-called "mixed mode"). We test for "Nimbus" (indicated by 0 or 1 in the top nibble of the lower 16 bits) v2.2 or later, or "Cumulus" (indicated by 2 or 3 in that nibble) v1.1 or later.

This moves the code that loads and unloads the guest SLB values so that it is done while the guest LPCR value is loaded in the LPCR register. The reason for doing this is that on POWER9, the behaviour of the slbmte instruction depends on the LPCR[UPRT] bit. If UPRT is 1, as it is for a radix host (or guest), the SLB index is truncated to 2 bits. This means that for a HPT guest on a radix host, the SLB was not being loaded correctly, causing the guest to crash. The SLB is now loaded much later in the guest entry path, after the LPCR is loaded, which for a secondary thread is after it sees that the primary thread has switched the MMU to the guest. The loop that waits for the primary thread has a branch out to the exit code that is taken if it sees that other threads have commenced exiting the guest. Since we have now not loaded the SLB at this point, we make this path branch to a new label 'guest_bypass' and we move the SLB unload code to before this label.

This fixes a bug where it is possible to enter a guest on a POWER9 system without having the XIVE (interrupt controller) context loaded. This can happen because we unload the XIVE context from the CPU before doing the real-mode handling for machine checks. After the real-mode handler runs, it is possible that we re-enter the guest via a fast path which does not load the XIVE context. To fix this, we move the unloading of the XIVE context to come after the real-mode machine check handler is called.

This adds a register identifier for use with the one_reg interface to allow the decrementer expiry time to be read and written by userspace. The decrementer expiry time is in guest timebase units and is equal to the sum of the decrementer and the guest timebase. (The expiry time is used rather than the decrementer value itself because the expiry time is not constantly changing, though the decrementer value is, while the guest vcpu is not running.) Without this, a guest vcpu migrated to a new host will see its decrementer set to some random value. On POWER8 and earlier, the decrementer is 32 bits wide and counts down at 512MHz, so the guest vcpu will potentially see no decrementer interrupts for up to about 4 seconds, which will lead to a stall. With POWER9, the decrementer is now 56 bits side, so the stall can be much longer (up to 2.23 years) and more noticeable. To help work around the problem in cases where userspace has not been updated to migrate the decrementer expiry time, we now set the default decrementer expiry at vcpu creation time to the current time rather than the maximum possible value. This should mean an immediate decrementer interrupt when a migrated vcpu starts running. In cases where the decrementer is 32 bits wide and more than 4 seconds elapse between the creation of the vcpu and when it first runs, the decrementer would have wrapped around to positive values and there may still be a stall - but this is no worse than the current situation. In the large-decrementer case, we are sure to get an immediate decrementer interrupt (assuming the time from vcpu creation to first run is less than 2.23 years) and we thus avoid a very long stall.
