The H_REGISTER_VPA hcall implementation in HV Power KVM needs to pin some
guest memory pages into host memory so that they can be safely accessed
from usermode. It does this used get_user_pages_fast(). When the VPA is
unregistered, or the VCPUs are cleaned up, these pages are released using
put_page().
However, the get_user_pages() is invoked on the specific memory are of the
VPA which could lie within hugepages. In case the pinned page is huge,
we explicitly find the head page of the compound page before calling
put_page() on it.
At least with the latest kernel, this is not correct. put_page() already
handles finding the correct head page of a compound, and also deals with
various counts on the individual tail page which are important for
transparent huge pages. We don't support transparent hugepages on Power,
but even so, bypassing this count maintenance can lead (when the VM ends)
to a hugepage being released back to the pool with a non-zero mapcount on
one of the tail pages. This can then lead to a bad_page() when the page
is released from the hugepage pool.
This removes the explicit compound_head() call to correct this bug.

When reading and writing SPRs, every SPR emulation piece had to read
or write the respective GPR the value was read from or stored in itself.
This approach is pretty prone to failure. What if we accidentally
implement mfspr emulation where we just do "break" and nothing else?
Suddenly we would get a random value in the return register - which is
always a bad idea.
So let's consolidate the generic code paths and only give the core
specific SPR handling code readily made variables to read/write from/to.
Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything, but it increases the
readability of the code and makes is less prone to bugs.

Instructions on PPC are pretty similarly encoded. So instead of
every instruction emulation code decoding the instruction fields
itself, we can move that code to more generic places and rely on
the compiler to optimize the unused bits away.
This has 2 advantages. It makes the code smaller and it makes the
code less error prone, as the instruction fields are always
available, so accidental misusage is reduced.
Functionally, this patch doesn't change anything.

When running on a system that is HV capable, some interrupts use HSRR
SPRs instead of the normal SRR SPRs. These are also used in the Linux
handlers to jump back to code after an interrupt got processed.
Unfortunately, in our "jump back to the real host handler after we've
done the context switch" code, we were only setting the SRR SPRs,
rendering Linux to jump back to some invalid IP after it's processed
the interrupt.
This fixes random crashes on p7 opal mode with PR KVM for me.

Time for which the hrtimer is started for decrementer emulation is calculated
using tb_ticks_per_usec. While hrtimer uses the clockevent for DEC
reprogramming (if needed) and which calculate timebase ticks using the
multiplier and shifter mechanism implemented within clockevent layer.
It was observed that this conversion (timebase->time->timebase) are not
correct because the mechanism are not consistent.
In our setup it adds 2% jitter.
With this patch clockevent multiplier and shifter mechanism are used when
starting hrtimer for decrementer emulation. Now the jitter is < 0.5%.

When the kernel calls into RTAS, it switches to 32-bit mode. The
magic page was is longer accessible in that case, causing the
patched instructions in the RTAS call wrapper to crash.

When emulating updating load/store instructions (lwzu, stwu, ...) we need to
write the effective address of the load/store into a register.
Currently, we write the physical address in there, which is very wrong. So
instead let's save off where the virtual fault was on MMIO and use that
information as value to put into the register.
While at it, also move the XOP variants of the above instructions to the new
scheme of using the already known vaddr instead of calculating it themselves.

It turns out that on POWER7, writing to the DABR can cause a corrupted
value to be written if the PMU is active and updating SDAR in continuous
sampling mode. To work around this, we make sure that the PMU is inactive
and SDAR updates are disabled (via MMCRA) when we are context-switching
DABR.
When the guest sets DABR via the H_SET_DABR hypercall, we use a slightly
different workaround, which is to read back the DABR and write it again
if it got corrupted.
While we are at it, make it consistent that the saving and restoring
of the guest's non-volatile GPRs and the FPRs are done with the guest
setup of the PMU active.

This adds code to measure "stolen" time per virtual core in units of
timebase ticks, and to report the stolen time to the guest using the
dispatch trace log (DTL). The guest can register an area of memory
for the DTL for a given vcpu. The DTL is a ring buffer where KVM
fills in one entry every time it enters the guest for that vcpu.
Stolen time is measured as time when the virtual core is not running,
either because the vcore is not runnable (e.g. some of its vcpus are
executing elsewhere in the kernel or in userspace), or when the vcpu
thread that is running the vcore is preempted. This includes time
when all the vcpus are idle (i.e. have executed the H_CEDE hypercall),
which is OK because the guest accounts stolen time while idle as idle
time.
Each vcpu keeps a record of how much stolen time has been reported to
the guest for that vcpu so far. When we are about to enter the guest,
we create a new DTL entry (if the guest vcpu has a DTL) and report the
difference between total stolen time for the vcore and stolen time
reported so far for the vcpu as the "enqueue to dispatch" time in the
DTL entry.

The PAPR API allows three sorts of per-virtual-processor areas to be
registered (VPA, SLB shadow buffer, and dispatch trace log), and
furthermore, these can be registered and unregistered for another
virtual CPU. Currently we just update the vcpu fields pointing to
these areas at the time of registration or unregistration. If this
is done on another vcpu, there is the possibility that the target vcpu
is using those fields at the time and could end up using a bogus
pointer and corrupting memory.
This fixes the race by making the target cpu itself do the update, so
we can be sure that the update happens at a time when the fields
aren't being used. Each area now has a struct kvmppc_vpa which is
used to manage these updates. There is also a spinlock which protects
access to all of the kvmppc_vpa structs, other than to the pinned_addr
fields. (We could have just taken the spinlock when using the vpa,
slb_shadow or dtl fields, but that would mean taking the spinlock on
every guest entry and exit.)
This also changes 'struct dtl' (which was undefined) to 'struct dtl_entry',
which is what the rest of the kernel uses.

the need to initialize vcpu->arch.vpa_update_lock.

Currently on POWER7, if we are running the guest on a core and we don't
need all the hardware threads, we do nothing to ensure that the unused
threads aren't executing in the kernel (other than checking that they
are offline). We just assume they're napping and we don't do anything
to stop them trying to enter the kernel while the guest is running.
This means that a stray IPI can wake up the hardware thread and it will
then try to enter the kernel, but since the core is in guest context,
it will execute code from the guest in hypervisor mode once it turns the
MMU on, which tends to lead to crashes or hangs in the host.
This fixes the problem by adding two new one-byte flags in the
kvmppc_host_state structure in the PACA which are used to interlock
between the primary thread and the unused secondary threads when entering
the guest. With these flags, the primary thread can ensure that the
unused secondaries are not already in kernel mode (i.e. handling a stray
IPI) and then indicate that they should not try to enter the kernel
if they do get woken for any reason. Instead they will go into KVM code,
find that there is no vcpu to run, acknowledge and clear the IPI and go
back to nap mode.
