    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix endianness of instruction obtained from HEIR register · 4a157d61
    Paul Mackerras authored
    There are two ways in which a guest instruction can be obtained from
    the guest in the guest exit code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S.  If the
    exit was caused by a Hypervisor Emulation interrupt (i.e. an illegal
    instruction), the offending instruction is in the HEIR register
    (Hypervisor Emulation Instruction Register).  If the exit was caused
    by a load or store to an emulated MMIO device, we load the instruction
    from the guest by turning data relocation on and loading the instruction
    with an lwz instruction.
    
    Unfortunately, in the case where the guest has opposite endianness to
    the host, these two methods give results of different endianness, but
    both get put into vcpu->arch.last_inst.  The HEIR value has been loaded
    using guest endianness, whereas the lwz will load the instruction using
    host endianness.  The rest of the code that uses vcpu->arch.last_inst
    assumes it was loaded using host endianness.
    
    To fix this, we define a new vcpu field to store the HEIR value.  Then,
    in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), we transfer the value from this new field to
    vcpu->arch.last_inst, doing a byte-swap if the guest and host endianness
    differ.
