The KVM API documentation is not clear about the semantics of the data
field on the mmio struct on the kvm_run struct.
This has become problematic when supporting ARM guests on big-endian
host systems with guests of both endianness types, because it is unclear
how the data should be exported to user space.
This should not break with existing implementations as all supported
existing implementations of known user space applications (QEMU and
kvmtools for virtio) only support default endianness of the
architectures on the host side.

Introduce a new interrupt class for s390 adapter interrupts and enable
irqfds for s390.
This is depending on a new s390 specific vm capability, KVM_CAP_S390_IRQCHIP,
that needs to be enabled by userspace.

Both QEMU and KVM have already accumulated a significant number of
optimizations based on the hard-coded assumption that ioapic polarity
will always use the ActiveHigh convention, where the logical and
physical states of level-triggered irq lines always match (i.e.,
active(asserted) == high == 1, inactive == low == 0). QEMU guests
are expected to follow directions given via ACPI and configure the
ioapic with polarity 0 (ActiveHigh). However, even when misbehaving
guests (e.g. OS X <= 10.9) set the ioapic polarity to 1 (ActiveLow),
QEMU will still use the ActiveHigh signaling convention when
interfacing with KVM.
This patch modifies KVM to completely ignore ioapic polarity as set by
the guest OS, enabling misbehaving guests to work alongside those which
comply with the ActiveHigh polarity specified by QEMU's ACPI tables.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into HEAD
Two new features are added by this patch set:
- The floating interrupt controller (flic) that allows us to inject,
clear and inspect non-vcpu local interrupts. This also gives us an
opportunity to fix deficiencies in our existing interrupt definitions.
- Support for asynchronous page faults via the pfault mechanism. Testing
show significant guest performance improvements under host swap.
|
|
This patch enables async page faults for s390 kvm guests.
It provides the userspace API to enable and disable_wait this feature.
The disable_wait will enforce that the feature is off by waiting on it.
Also it includes the diagnose code, called by the guest to enable async page faults.
The async page faults will use an already existing guest interface for this
purpose, as described in "CP Programming Services (SC24-6084)".

The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer
control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It
contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user,
kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint
interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode
accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow
both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest.
This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX.
PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR
and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of
H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR
implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the
DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface.
For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add
"hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions
property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates
the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then
userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified
DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the
old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should
still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests
cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't
requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set
DABRX_BTI.
The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work
on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that
know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but
guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR.
For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values
on POWER8.

a more generic API than the ARM-specific one and is useful for
save/restore of VGIC state.

Note that we change the check for creating a VGIC from bailing out if
any VCPUs were created, to bailing out if any VCPUs were ever run. This
is an important distinction that shouldn't break anything, but allows
creating the VGIC after the VCPUs have been created.

So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each
other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds
and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device
that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates
the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file
descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid
and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.

This enables us to use the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) on
POWER7 to put the processor into architecture 2.05 compatibility mode
when running a guest. In this mode the new instructions and registers
that were introduced on POWER7 are disabled in user mode. This
includes all the VSX facilities plus several other instructions such
as ldbrx, stdbrx, popcntw, popcntd, etc.
To select this mode, we have a new register accessible through the
set/get_one_reg interface, called KVM_REG_PPC_ARCH_COMPAT. Setting
this to zero gives the full set of capabilities of the processor.
Setting it to one of the "logical" PVR values defined in PAPR puts
the vcpu into the compatibility mode for the corresponding
architecture level. The supported values are:
0x0f000002 Architecture 2.05 (POWER6)
0x0f000003 Architecture 2.06 (POWER7)
0x0f100003 Architecture 2.06+ (POWER7+)
Since the PCR is per-core, the architecture compatibility level and
the corresponding PCR value are stored in the struct kvmppc_vcore, and
are therefore shared between all vcpus in a virtual core.

POWER7 and later IBM server processors have a register called the
Program Priority Register (PPR), which controls the priority of
each hardware CPU SMT thread, and affects how fast it runs compared
to other SMT threads. This priority can be controlled by writing to
the PPR or by use of a set of instructions of the form or rN,rN,rN
which are otherwise no-ops but have been defined to set the priority
to particular levels.
This adds code to context switch the PPR when entering and exiting
guests and to make the PPR value accessible through the SET/GET_ONE_REG
interface. When entering the guest, we set the PPR as late as
possible, because if we are setting a low thread priority it will
make the code run slowly from that point on. Similarly, the
first-level interrupt handlers save the PPR value in the PACA very
early on, and set the thread priority to the medium level, so that
the interrupt handling code runs at a reasonable speed.

This adds the ability to have a separate LPCR (Logical Partitioning
Control Register) value relating to a guest for each virtual core,
rather than only having a single value for the whole VM. This
corresponds to what real POWER hardware does, where there is a LPCR
per CPU thread but most of the fields are required to have the same
value on all active threads in a core.
The per-virtual-core LPCR can be read and written using the
GET/SET_ONE_REG interface. Userspace can can only modify the
following fields of the LPCR value:
DPFD Default prefetch depth
ILE Interrupt little-endian
TC Translation control (secondary HPT hash group search disable)
We still maintain a per-VM default LPCR value in kvm->arch.lpcr, which
contains bits relating to memory management, i.e. the Virtualized
Partition Memory (VPM) bits and the bits relating to guest real mode.
When this default value is updated, the update needs to be propagated
to the per-vcore values, so we add a kvmppc_update_lpcr() helper to do
that.

The VRSAVE register value for a vcpu is accessible through the
GET/SET_SREGS interface for Book E processors, but not for Book 3S
processors. In order to make this accessible for Book 3S processors,
this adds a new register identifier for GET/SET_ONE_REG, and adds
the code to implement it.

This allows guests to have a different timebase origin from the host.
This is needed for migration, where a guest can migrate from one host
to another and the two hosts might have a different timebase origin.
However, the timebase seen by the guest must not go backwards, and
should go forwards only by a small amount corresponding to the time
taken for the migration.
Therefore this provides a new per-vcpu value accessed via the one_reg
interface using the new KVM_REG_PPC_TB_OFFSET identifier. This value
defaults to 0 and is not modified by KVM. On entering the guest, this
value is added onto the timebase, and on exiting the guest, it is
subtracted from the timebase.
This is only supported for recent POWER hardware which has the TBU40
(timebase upper 40 bits) register. Writing to the TBU40 register only
alters the upper 40 bits of the timebase, leaving the lower 24 bits
unchanged. This provides a way to modify the timebase for guest
migration without disturbing the synchronization of the timebase
registers across CPU cores. The kernel rounds up the value given
to a multiple of 2^24.
Timebase values stored in KVM structures (struct kvm_vcpu, struct
kvmppc_vcore, etc.) are stored as host timebase values. The timebase
values in the dispatch trace log need to be guest timebase values,
however, since that is read directly by the guest. This moves the
setting of vcpu->arch.dec_expires on guest exit to a point after we
have restored the host timebase so that vcpu->arch.dec_expires is a
host timebase value.

This reserves space in get/set_one_reg ioctl for the extra guest state
needed for POWER8. It doesn't implement these at all, it just reserves
them so that the ABI is defined now.
A few things to note here:
- This add *a lot* state for transactional memory. TM suspend mode,
this is unavoidable, you can't simply roll back all transactions and
store only the checkpointed state. I've added this all to
get/set_one_reg (including GPRs) rather than creating a new ioctl
which returns a struct kvm_regs like KVM_GET_REGS does. This means we
if we need to extract the TM state, we are going to need a bucket load
of IOCTLs. Hopefully most of the time this will not be needed as we
can look at the MSR to see if TM is active and only grab them when
needed. If this becomes a bottle neck in future we can add another
ioctl to grab all this state in one go.
- The TM state is offset by 0x80000000.
- For TM, I've done away with VMX and FP and created a single 64x128 bit
VSX register space.
- I've left a space of 1 (at 0x9c) since Paulus needs to add a value
which applies to POWER7 as well.

In commit e935b8372cf8 ("KVM: Convert kvm_lock to raw_spinlock"),
the kvm_lock was made a raw lock. However, the kvm mmu_shrink()
function tries to grab the (non-raw) mmu_lock within the scope of
the raw locked kvm_lock being held. This leads to the following:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659

After the previous patch, kvm_lock need not be a raw spinlock anymore,
so change it back.
