In the context of replacing kvmppc_ld() function calls with a version of kvmppc_get_last_inst() which allow to fail, Alex Graf suggested this: "If we get EMULATE_AGAIN, we just have to make sure we go back into the guest. No need to inject an ISI into the guest - it'll do that all by itself. With an error returning kvmppc_get_last_inst we can just use completely get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_get_last_inst() instead." As a intermediate step get rid of kvmppc_read_inst() and only use kvmppc_ld() instead. Signed-off-by:

The commit 1d628af7 "add load inst fixup" made an attempt to handle failures generated by reading the guest current instruction. The fixup code that was added works by chance hiding the real issue. Load external pid (lwepx) instruction, used by KVM to read guest instructions, is executed in a subsituted guest translation context (EPLC[EGS] = 1). In consequence lwepx's TLB error and data storage interrupts need to be handled by KVM, even though these interrupts are generated from host context (MSR[GS] = 0) where lwepx is executed. Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context (MSR[GS] = 1), doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host performance degradation. As a result, the host kernel handles lwepx faults searching the faulting guest data address (loaded in DEAR) in its own Logical Partition ID (LPID) 0 context. In case a host translation is found the execution returns to the lwepx instruction instead of the fixup, the host ending up in an infinite loop. Revert the commit "add load inst fixup". lwepx issue will be addressed in a subsequent patch without needing fixup code. Signed-off-by:

The magic page is defined as a 4k page of per-vCPU data that is shared between the guest and the host to accelerate accesses to privileged registers. However, when the host is using 64k page size granularity we weren't quite as strict about that rule anymore. Instead, we partially treated all of the upper 64k as magic page and mapped only the uppermost 4k with the actual magic contents. This works well enough for Linux which doesn't use any memory in kernel space in the upper 64k, but Mac OS X got upset. So this patch makes magic page actually stay in a 4k range even on 64k page size hosts. This patch fixes magic page usage with Mac OS X (using MOL) on 64k PAGE_SIZE hosts for me. Signed-off-by: -

Today we handle split real mode by mapping both instruction and data faults into a special virtual address space that only exists during the split mode phase. This is good enough to catch 32bit Linux guests that use split real mode for copy_from/to_user. In this case we're always prefixed with 0xc0000000 for our instruction pointer and can map the user space process freely below there. However, that approach fails when we're running KVM inside of KVM. Here the 1st level last_inst reader may well be in the same virtual page as a 2nd level interrupt handler. It also fails when running Mac OS X guests. Here we have a 4G/4G split, so a kernel copy_from/to_user implementation can easily overlap with user space addresses. The architecturally correct way to fix this would be to implement an instruction interpreter in KVM that kicks in whenever we go into split real mode. This interpreter however would not receive a great amount of testing and be a lot of bloat for a reasonably isolated corner case. So I went back to the drawing board and tried to come up with a way to make split real mode work with a single flat address space. And then I realized that we could get away with the same trick that makes it work for Linux: Whenever we see an instruction address during split real mode that may collide, we just move it higher up the virtual address space to a place that hopefully does not collide (keep your fingers crossed!). That approach does work surprisingly well. I am able to successfully run Mac OS X guests with KVM and QEMU (no split real mode hacks like MOL) when I apply a tiny timing probe hack to QEMU. I'd say this is a win over even more broken split real mode :). Signed-off-by: -

When a page lookup failed because we're not allowed to write to the page, we should not overwrite that value with another lookup on the second PTEG which will return "page not found". Instead, we should just tell the caller that we had a permission problem. This fixes Mac OS X guests looping endlessly in page lookup code for me. Signed-off-by: -

When we have a page that we're not allowed to write to, xlate() will already tell us -EPERM on lookup of that page. With the code as is we change it into a "page missing" error which a guest may get confused about. Instead, just tell the caller about the -EPERM directly. This fixes Mac OS X guests when run with DCBZ32 emulation. Signed-off-by: -

When building KVM with a lot of vcores (NR_CPUS is big), we can potentially get out of the ld immediate range for dereferences inside that struct. Move the array to the end of our kvm_arch struct. This fixes compilation issues with NR_CPUS=2048 for me. Signed-off-by: -

For FSL e6500 core the kernel uses power management SPR register (PWRMGTCR0) to enable idle power down for cores and devices by setting up the idle count period at boot time.

On the exit path from the guest we check what type of interrupt we received if we received one. This means we're doing hardware access to the XICS interrupt controller.

This adds support for the H_SET_MODE hcall. This hcall is a multiplexer that has several functions, some of which are called rarely, and some which are potentially called very frequently. Here we add support for the functions that set the debug registers CIABR (Completed Instruction Address Breakpoint Register) and DAWR/DAWRX (Data Address Watchpoint Register and eXtension), since they could be updated by the guest as often as every context switch. This also adds a kvmppc_power8_compatible() function to test to see if a guest is compatible with POWER8 or not. The CIABR and DAWR/X only exist on POWER8. Signed-off-by:

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers. Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM. The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM. The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM capability advertises that this ability exists. When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the default set without a good reason. No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall implementations; the one setting controls them both. Signed-off-by:

On vcpu schedule, the condition checked for tlb pollution is too loose. The tlb entries of a vcpu become polluted (vs stale) only when a different vcpu within the same logical partition runs in-between. Optimize the tlb invalidation condition keeping last_vcpu per logical partition id. With the new invalidation condition, a guest shows 4% performance improvement on P5020DS while running a memory stress application with the cpu oversubscribed, the other guest running a cpu intensive workload. Guest - old invalidation condition real 3.89 user 3.87 sys 0.01 Guest - enhanced invalidation condition real 3.75 user 3.73 sys 0.01 Host real 3.70 user 1.85 sys 0.00 The memory stress application accesses 4KB pages backed by 75% of available TLB0 entries: char foo[ENTRIES][4096] __attribute__ ((aligned (4096))); int main() { char bar; int i, j; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) for (j = 0; j < ENTRIES; j++) bar = foo[j][0]; return 0; } Signed-off-by: -

When we're using PR KVM we must not allow the CPU to take interrupts in virtual mode, as the SLB does not contain host kernel mappings when running inside the guest context. To make sure we get good performance for non-KVM tasks but still properly functioning PR KVM, let's just disable AIL whenever a vcpu is scheduled in. This is fundamentally different from how we deal with AIL on pSeries type machines where we disable AIL for the whole machine as soon as a single KVM VM is up. The reason for that is easy - on pSeries we do not have control over per-cpu configuration of AIL. We also don't want to mess with CPU hotplug races and AIL configuration, so setting it per CPU is easier and more flexible. This patch fixes running PR KVM on POWER8 bare metal for me. Signed-off-by:
