PR KVM supports an ePAPR compliant hypercall interface in parallel to the
normal sPAPR one. Expose the ePAPR /hypervisor node and properties to the
guest so it can use it.
This enables magic page sharing on PR KVM with -M pseries.
However we had a few nasty bugs in the magic page implementation on vcpus
newer than 970 (p7, p8) that KVM now has workarounds for. It indicates that
it does have these workarounds through the PPC_FIXUP_HCALL capability.
To not expose broken guest kernels to issues on host kernels that don't
have the fixups in place, we don't expose working hypercall instructions
when the fixups are not available so that the guest can never active the
magic page.

The SPE emulation code wants to access the highest 32bits of a 64bit register
and uses the andi TCG instruction for that. Unfortunately it masked with the
wrong mask. Fix the mask to actually cover the upper 32 bits.

When we run 32bit guest CPUs (or 32bit guest code on 64bit CPUs) on
qemu-system-ppc64 the TLB lookup will use the full effective address
as pointer.
However, only the first 32bits are valid when MSR.CM = 0. Check for
that condition.
This makes QEMU boot an e500v2 guest with more than 1G of RAM for me.

Fix a typo in the ppce500_pci vmstate definition which meant that
we were migrating the struct pci_inbound using the vmstate for
pci_outbound. Fortunately the two structures have exactly the same

we can correcting the typo without a migration compatibility

The size and register information are encoded into the reserve_info field
of CPU state in the store conditional translation code. Specifically, the
size is shifted left by 5 bits (see target-ppc/translate.c gen_conditional_store).
The user-mode store conditional code erroneously extracts the size by ANDing
with a 4 bit mask; this breaks if size >= 16.
Eliminate the mask to make the extraction of size mirror its encoding.

The existing code does a check to ensure that a .bss region is properly
mmap'd. When additional mmap is required, the (guest) pages are also
validated. However, this code has a bug: when host page size is larger
than target page size, it is possible for the .bss pages to already be
(host) mapped but the guest .bss pages may not be valid.
The check to mmap additional space is separated from the flagging of the
target (guest) pages, thus ensuring that both aspects are done properly.

Currently the default DMA window is represented by a single MemoryRegion.
However there can be more than just one window so we need
a "root" memory region to be separated from the actual DMA window(s).
This introduces a "root" IOMMU memory region and adds a subregion for
the default DMA 32bit window. Following patches will add other
subregion(s).
This initializes a default DMA window subregion size to the guest RAM
size as this window can be switched into "bypass" mode which implements
direct DMA mapping.

The macio IDE controller has some pretty nasty magic in its implementation to
allow for unaligned sector accesses. We used to handle these accesses
synchronously inside the IO callback handler.
However, the block infrastructure changed below our feet and now it's impossible
to call a synchronous block read/write from the aio callback handler of a
previous block access.
Work around that limitation by making the unaligned handling bits also go
through our asynchronous handler.
This fixes booting Mac OS X for me.

Modern Linux kernels support last POWERPC CPUs so when a kernel boots,
in most cases it can find a matching cpu_spec in the kernel's cpu_specs
list. However if the kernel is quite old, it may be missing a definition
of the actual CPU. To provide an ability for old kernels to work on modern
hardware, a Processor Compatibility Mode has been introduced
by the PowerISA specification.
>From the hardware prospective, it is supported by the Processor
Compatibility Register (PCR) which is defined in PowerISA. The register
enables one of the compatibility modes (2.05/2.06/2.07).
Since PCR is a hypervisor privileged register and cannot be
directly accessed from the guest, the mode selection is done via
ibm,client-architecture-support (CAS) RTAS call using which the guest
specifies what "raw" and "architected" CPU versions it supports.
QEMU works out the best match, changes a "cpu-version" property of
every CPU and notifies the guest about the change by setting these
properties in the buffer passed as a response on a custom H_CAS hypercall.
This implements ibm,client-architecture-support parameters parsing
(now only for PVRs) and cooks the device tree diff with new values for
"cpu-version", "ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s" and
"ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s" properties.

This puts a limit to the number of threads per core based on the current
compatibility mode. Although PowerISA specs do not specify the maximum
threads per core number, the linux guest still expects that
PowerISA2.05-compatible CPU supports only 2 threads per core as this
is what POWER6 (2.05 compliant CPU) implements, the same is for
POWER7 (2.06, 4 threads) and POWER8 (2.07, 8 threads).
This calls spapr_fixup_cpu_smt_dt() with the maximum allowed number of
threads which affects ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s and
ibm,ppc-interrupt-gserver#s properties.
The number of CPU nodesremains unchanged.

In PPC code we usually use the "cs" name for a CPUState* variables

use same rules as spapr_create_fdt_skel() does.
This adds missing nodes creation if they do not already exist in
the current device tree, this is going to be used from
the client-architecture-support handler.

The PAPR+ specification defines a ibm,client-architecture-support (CAS)
RTAS call which purpose is to provide a negotiation mechanism for
the guest and the hypervisor to work out the best compatibility parameters.
During the negotiation process, the guest provides an array of various
options and capabilities which it supports, the hypervisor adjusts
the device tree and (optionally) reboots the guest.
At the moment the Linux guest calls CAS method at early boot so SLOF
gets called. SLOF allocates a memory buffer for the device tree changes
and calls a custom KVMPPC_H_CAS hypercall. QEMU parses the options,
composes a diff for the device tree, copies it to the buffer provided
by SLOF and returns to SLOF. SLOF updates the device tree and returns
control to the guest kernel. Only then the Linux guest parses the device
tree so it is possible to avoid unnecessary reboot in most cases.
The device tree diff is a header with an update format version
(defined as 1 in this patch) followed by a device tree with the properties
which require update.
If QEMU detects that it has to reboot the guest, it silently does so
as the guest expects reboot to happen because this is usual pHyp firmware
behavior.
This defines custom KVMPPC_H_CAS hypercall. The current SLOF already
has support for it.
This implements stub which returns very basic tree (root node,
no properties) to the guest.
As the return buffer does not contain any change, no change in behavior is
expected.

This adds basic support for the "compat" CPU option. By specifying
the compat property, the user can manually switch guest CPU mode from
"raw" to "architected".
This defines feature disable bits which are not used yet as, for example,
PowerISA 2.07 says if 2.06 mode is selected, the TM bit does not matter -
transactional memory (TM) will be disabled because 2.06 does not define
it at all. The same is true for VSX and 2.05 mode. So just setting a mode
must be ok.
This does not change the existing behavior as the actual compatibility
mode support is coming in next patches.

PowerISA defines a compatibility mode for server POWERPC CPUs which
is supported by the PCR special register which is hypervisor privileged.
To support this mode for guests, SPAPR defines a set of virtual PVRs,
one per PowerISA spec version. When a hypervisor needs a guest to work in
a compatibility mode, it puts a virtual PVR value into @cpu-version
property of a CPU node.
This introduces a "compat" CPU option which defines maximal compatibility
mode enabled. The supported modes are power6/power7/power8.

The openpic emulation code maintains an allowable-CPU's bitmap
("destmask") for each IRQ source which is calculated from the IDR
register value whenever the guest OS writes to it. However, if the
guest OS relies on the system to set the IDR register to a default
value at reset, and does not write IDR, then destmask does not get
updated, and interrupts do not get propagated to the guest.
Additionally, if an IRQ source is marked as critical, the source's
internal "output" and "nomask" fields are not correctly reset when the
PIC is reset.
Fix both these issues by calling write_IRQreg_idr from within
openpic_reset, instead of simply setting the IDR register to the
specified idr_reset value.

Fix ppc64 arch specific dump code to support all combinations of little/big
endian hosts/guests. FWIW the current code is broken for altivec registers
when guest and host have a different endianness: these 128-bit registers
are written to guest memory as a two 64-bit entities and we should also swap
them.
Unit testing was done with the following program provided by Tom Musta:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
__uint128_t v = ((__uint128_t)0x0001020304050607ull << 64) |
0x08090a0b0c0d0e0full;
register void * vptr asm ("r11");
vptr = &v;
for(;;)
asm volatile ("lvx 30,0,11" );
}
When sending SIGABRT to this program and examining the core file, we get:
- ppc64 : 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f
- ppc64le: 0f 0e 0d 0c 0b 0a 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00
We expect to find the very same layout in the QEMU dump since they are
real core files. This is what we get:
- ppc64 host, ppc64 guest : 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f

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.
This is only supported for recent POWER hardware which has the TBU40
(timebase upper 40 bits) register. That includes POWER6, 7, 8 but not
970.
This adds kvm_access_one_reg() to access a special register which is not
in env->spr. This requires kvm_set_one_reg/kvm_get_one_reg patch.
The feature must be present in the host kernel.
This bumps vmstate_spapr::version_id and enables new vmstate_ppc_timebase
only for it. Since the vmstate_spapr::minimum_version_id remains
unchanged, migration from older QEMU is supported but without
vmstate_ppc_timebase.

Almost all platforms QEMU emulates have some sort of firmware they can load
to expose a guest environment that closely resembles the way it would look
like on real hardware.
This patch introduces such a firmware on our e500 platforms. U-boot is the
default firmware for most of these systems and as such our preferred choice.
For backwards compatibility reasons (and speed and simplicity) we skip u-boot
when you use -kernel and don't pass in -bios. For all other combinations like
-kernel and -bios or no -kernel you get u-boot as firmware.
This allows you to modify the boot environment, execute a networked boot through
the e1000 emulation and execute u-boot payloads.
