Currently we patch the whole code include paravirt template code. This isn't safe for scratch area and has impact to performance. Signed-off-by:

The hardware maintains a per-set next victim hint. Using this reduces conflicts, especially on e500v2 where a single guest TLB entry is mapped to two shadow TLB entries (user and kernel). We want those two entries to go to different TLB ways. sesel is now only used for TLB1. Reported-by:

As Scott put it: > If we get a signal after the check, we want to be sure that we don't > receive the reschedule IPI until after we're in the guest, so that it > will cause another signal check. we need to have interrupts disabled from the point we do signal_check() all the way until we actually enter the guest. This patch fixes potential signal loss races. Reported-by:

Our vcpu kick implementation differs a bit from x86 which resulted in us not disabling preemption during the kick. Get it a bit closer to what x86 does. Signed-off-by:

When running the 64-bit Book3s PR code without CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, we were doing a few things wrong, most notably access to PACA fields without making sure that the pointers stay stable accross the access (preempt_disable()). This patch moves to_svcpu towards a get/put model which allows us to disable preemption while accessing the shadow vcpu fields in the PACA. That way we can run preemptible and everyone's happy!

Somewhere during merges we ended up from local_irq_enable() foo(); local_irq_disable() to always keeping irqs enabled during that part. However, we now have the following code: foo(); local_irq_disable() which disables interrupts without the surrounding code enabling them again! So let's remove that disable and be happy.

When entering the guest, we want to make sure we're not getting preempted away, so let's disable preemption on entry, but enable it again while handling guest exits. Reported-by:

Decrementers are now properly driven by TCR/TSR, and the guest has full read/write access to these registers. The decrementer keeps ticking (and setting the TSR bit) regardless of whether the interrupts are enabled with TCR. The decrementer stops at zero, rather than going negative. Decrementers (and FITs, once implemented) are delivered as level-triggered interrupts -- dequeued when the TSR bit is cleared, not on delivery. Signed-off-by:

This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest in PR-mode KVM without trapping. SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace. On booke, KVM will sync these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from guest userspace will work. The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently use either the real registers or the shared area between exits. This also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3. On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported (they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic chips). They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any non-booke emulation. I also do not see any syncing with real registers (in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3. This patch should not make that situation any worse. Signed-off-by:

int_pending was only being lowered if a bit in pending_exceptions was cleared during exception delivery -- but for interrupts, we clear it during IACK/TSR emulation. This caused paravirt for enabling MSR[EE] to be ineffective. Signed-off-by:

This prevents us from inappropriately blocking in a KVM_SET_REGS ioctl -- the MSR[WE] will take effect when the guest is next entered. It also causes SRR1[WE] to be set when we enter the guest's interrupt handler, which is what e500 hardware is documented to do. Signed-off-by:

This function should be called with interrupts disabled, to avoid a race where an exception is delivered after we check, but the resched kick is received before we disable interrupts (and thus doesn't actually trigger the exit code that would recheck exceptions). booke already does this properly in the lightweight exit case, but not on initial entry. For now, move the call of prepare_to_enter into subarch-specific code so that booke can do the right thing here. Ideally book3s would do the same thing, but I'm having a hard time seeing where it does any interrupt disabling of this sort (plus it has several additional call sites), so I'm deferring the book3s fix to someone more familiar with that code. book3s behavior should be unchanged by this patch.

This function also updates paravirt int_pending, so rename it to be more obvious that this is a collection of checks run prior to (re)entering a guest. Signed-off-by:

Currently we check prior to returning from a lightweight exit, but not prior to initial entry. book3s already does a similar test. Signed-off-by:

As per specification the decrementer interrupt not happen when DEC is written with 0. Also when DEC is zero, no decrementer running. So we should not start hrtimer for decrementer when DEC = 0. Signed-off-by:

kvmppc_emulate_dec() uses dec_nsec of type unsigned long and does below calculation: dec_nsec = vcpu->arch.dec; dec_nsec *= 1000; This will truncate if DEC value "vcpu->arch.dec" is greater than 0xffff_ffff/1000. For example : For tb_ticks_per_usec = 4a, we can not set decrementer more than ~58ms. Signed-off-by: -

The current implementation of mtmsr and mtmsrd are racy in that it does: * check (int_pending == 0) ---> host sets int_pending = 1 <--- * write shared page * done while instead we should check for int_pending after the shared page is written. Signed-off-by:

Split out the portions of tlbe_priv that should be associated with host entries into tlbe_ref. Base victim selection on the number of hardware entries, not guest entries. For TLB1, where one guest entry can be mapped by multiple host entries, we use the host tlbe_ref for tracking page references. For the guest TLB0 entries, we still track it with gtlb_priv, to avoid having to retranslate if the entry is evicted from the host TLB but not the guest TLB. Signed-off-by:

On some cpus the overhead for virtualization instructions is in the same range as a system call. Having to call multiple ioctls to get set registers will make certain userspace handled exits more expensive than necessary. Lets provide a section in kvm_run that works as a shared save area for guest registers. We also provide two 64bit flags fields (architecture specific), that will specify 1. which parts of these fields are valid. 2. which registers were modified by userspace Each bit for these flag fields will define a group of registers (like general purpose) or a single register.

There are several places in the kvm module, which set the prefix register. Since we need to flush the cpu, lets combine this operation into a helper function. This helper will also explicitely mask out the unused bits. Signed-off-by:

In some cases guests should not provide workarounds for errata even when the physical processor is affected. For example, because of erratum 400 on family 10h processors a Linux guest will read an MSR (resulting in VMEXIT) before going to idle in order to avoid getting stuck in a non-C0 state. This is not necessary: HLT and IO instructions are intercepted and therefore there is no reason for erratum 400 workaround in the guest. This patch allows us to present a guest with certain errata as fixed, regardless of the state of actual hardware. Signed-off-by:

This patch allows the user to fault in pages on a virtual cpus address space for user controlled virtual machines. Typically this is superfluous because userspace can just create a mapping and let the kernel's page fault logic take are of it. There is one exception: SIE won't start if the lowcore is not present. Normally the kernel takes care of this [handle_validity() in arch/s390/kvm/intercept.c] but since the kernel does not handle intercepts for user controlled virtual machines, userspace needs to be able to handle this condition.
