* KVM: PPC: Add sanity checking to vcpu_runAlexander Graf2011-09-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are multiple features in PowerPC KVM that can now be enabled depending on the user's wishes. Some of the combinations don't make sense or don't work though. So this patch adds a way to check if the executing environment would actually be able to run the guest properly. It also adds sanity checks if PVR is set (should always be true given the current code flow), if PAPR is only used with book3s_64 where it works and that HV KVM is only used in PAPR mode.

* KVM: PPC: Allocate RMAs (Real Mode Areas) at boot for use by guestsPaul Mackerras2011-07-121-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds infrastructure which will be needed to allow book3s_hv KVM to run on older POWER processors, including PPC970, which don't support the Virtual Real Mode Area (VRMA) facility, but only the Real Mode Offset (RMO) facility. These processors require a physically contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest. When the guest does an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes the real address for the access. The size of the RMA has to be one of a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB and some larger powers of 2. Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator. The size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options. KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability of the pool of preallocated RMAs. The capability value is 1 if the processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest. This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA. It also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure. Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl calls from userspace. To cope with this, we now preallocate the kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient for up to 64GB of guest memory. Subsequently we will get rid of this array and use memory associated with each memslot instead. This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region. Also, instead of having to look up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB. However, if we are adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the RMA. Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor uses RMA or VRMA for the guest. This moves the LPCR value into the kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request) bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external interrupt request.

* KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use SMT processor modesPaul Mackerras2011-07-121-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads per core on POWER7. The host still has to run single-threaded. This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4. To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined. This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys() for use in the low-level KVM book3s code. When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core. The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core. We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU by the other vcpus. When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu, or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu thread goes from busy in host state to blocked). It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g. because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest. We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it is ready to actually enter the guest. Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are runnable.

* KVM: PPC: Accelerate H_PUT_TCE by implementing it in real modeDavid Gibson2011-07-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This improves I/O performance for guests using the PAPR paravirtualization interface by making the H_PUT_TCE hcall faster, by implementing it in real mode. H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the PAPR interface. Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number of host/guest context switches during guest IO. There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a checkpoint resume or migration.

* KVM: PPC: Handle some PAPR hcalls in the kernelPaul Mackerras2011-07-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel, either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode, or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU is off. This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode: H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel: H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA) The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
* KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor modePaul Mackerras2011-07-121-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors, specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor architecture other than the one that the hardware implements. This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code to include/linux/kvm.h. Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support (i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only do one or the other. This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present. Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious restriction. With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry to those exception handlers. We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage, hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist interrupts, so we have to handle those. In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space. We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it. We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers, so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct. The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition (partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction. This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now, since huge pages can't be paged or swapped. This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

This is because vcpu_load loads them from the vcpu backing store that we use whenever we're not owning the PACA. That behavior is not really a major problem, because we don't need it for qemu.

* KVM: ppc: directly insert shadow mappings into the hardware TLBHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry. Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits, at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some guest entries. These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the need to walk arrays in software). In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

* KVM: ppc: optimize irq delivery pathHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In kvmppc_deliver_interrupt is just one case left in the switch and it is a rare one (less than 8%) when looking at the exit numbers. Therefore we can at least drop the switch/case and if an if. I inserted an unlikely too, but that's open for discussion. In kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt all frequent cases are in the default case. I know compilers are smart but we can make it easier for them. By writing down all options and removing the default case combined with the fact that ithe values are constants 0..15 should allow the compiler to write an easy jump table. Modifying kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt pointed me to the fact that gcc seems to be unable to reduce priority_exception[x] to a build time constant. Therefore I changed the usage of the translation arrays in the interrupt delivery path completely. It is now using priority without translation to irq on the full irq delivery path. To be able to do that ivpr regs are stored by their priority now. Additionally the decision made in kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt is already sufficient to get the value of interrupt_msr_mask[x]. Therefore we can replace the 16x4byte array used here with a single 4byte variable (might still be one miss, but the chance to find this in cache should be better than the right entry of the whole array).

* KVM: ppc: create struct kvm_vcpu_44x and introduce container_of() accessorHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch doesn't yet move all 44x-specific data into the new structure, but is the first step down that path. In the future we may also want to create a struct kvm_vcpu_booke.

* KVM: ppc: refactor instruction emulation into generic and core-specific piecesHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-23/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cores provide 3 emulation hooks, implemented for example in the new 4xx_emulate.c: kvmppc_core_emulate_op kvmppc_core_emulate_mtspr kvmppc_core_emulate_mfspr Strictly speaking the last two aren't necessary, but provide for more informative error reporting ("unknown SPR"). Long term I'd like to have instruction decoding autogenerated from tables of opcodes, and that way we could aggregate universal, Book E, and core-specific instructions more easily and without redundant switch statements.

* KVM: ppc: Refactor powerpc.c to relocate 440-specific codeHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-17/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c. Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function pointers would only add overhead.

* KVM: ppc: stop leaking host memory on VM exitHollis Blanchard2008-11-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | When the VM exits, we must call put_page() for every page referenced in the shadow TLB. Without this patch, we usually leak 30-50 host pages (120 - 200 KiB with 4 KiB pages). The maximum number of pages leaked is the size of our shadow TLB, 64 pages. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: powerpc: Map guest userspace with TID=0 mappingsHollis Blanchard2008-10-151-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace. The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time performance improvement: about 30%.

* powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell2008-08-041-0/+95
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
