    powerpc/pmu: Set pmcregs_in_use in paca when running as LPAR · 28d2a6e6

    The ability to run nested guests under KVM means that a guest can also
    act as a hypervisor for it's own nested guest. Currently
    ppc_set_pmu_inuse() assumes that either FW_FEATURE_LPAR is set,
    indicating a guest environment, and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in
    the lppaca, or that it isn't set, indicating a hypervisor environment,
    and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca.
    
    The pmcregs_in_use flag in the lppaca is used to communicate this
    information to a hypervisor and so must be set in a guest environment.
    The pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca is used by KVM code to determine
    whether the host state of the performance monitoring unit (PMU) must
    be saved and restored when running a guest.
    
    Thus when a guest also acts as a hypervisor it must set this bit in
    both places since it needs to ensure both that the real hypervisor
    saves it's PMU registers when it runs (requires pmcregs_in_use flag in
    lppaca), and that it saves it's own PMU registers when running a
    nested guest (requires pmcregs_in_use flag in paca).
    
    Modify ppc_set_pmu_inuse() so that the pmcregs_in_use bit is set in
    both the lppaca and the paca when a guest (LPAR) is running with the
    capability of running it's own guests (CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE).
