Documentation: move Documentation/virtual to Documentation/virt

2019-07-24T08:52:11Z

Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt, as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation to match that.

PPC KVM update for 5.2 * Support for guests to access the new POWER9 XIVE interrupt controller hardware directly, reducing interrupt latency and overhead for guests. * In-kernel implementation of the H_PAGE_INIT hypercall. * Reduce memory usage of sparsely-populated IOMMU tables. * Several bug fixes. Second PPC KVM update for 5.2 * Fix a bug, fix a spelling mistake, remove some useless code.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add passthrough support

2019-04-30T09:35:16Z

The KVM XICS-over-XIVE device and the proposed KVM XIVE native device implement an IRQ space for the guest using the generic IPI interrupts of the XIVE IC controller. These interrupts are allocated at the OPAL level and "mapped" into the guest IRQ number space in the range 0-0x1FFF. Interrupt management is performed in the XIVE way: using loads and stores on the addresses of the XIVE IPI interrupt ESB pages. Both KVM devices share the same internal structure caching information on the interrupts, among which the xive_irq_data struct containing the addresses of the IPI ESB pages and an extra one in case of pass-through. The later contains the addresses of the ESB pages of the underlying HW controller interrupts, PHB4 in all cases for now. A guest, when running in the XICS legacy interrupt mode, lets the KVM XICS-over-XIVE device "handle" interrupt management, that is to perform the loads and stores on the addresses of the ESB pages of the guest interrupts. However, when running in XIVE native exploitation mode, the KVM XIVE native device exposes the interrupt ESB pages to the guest and lets the guest perform directly the loads and stores. The VMA exposing the ESB pages make use of a custom VM fault handler which role is to populate the VMA with appropriate pages. When a fault occurs, the guest IRQ number is deduced from the offset, and the ESB pages of associated XIVE IPI interrupt are inserted in the VMA (using the internal structure caching information on the interrupts). Supporting device passthrough in the guest running in XIVE native exploitation mode adds some extra refinements because the ESB pages of a different HW controller (PHB4) need to be exposed to the guest along with the initial IPI ESB pages of the XIVE IC controller. But the overall mechanic is the same. When the device HW irqs are mapped into or unmapped from the guest IRQ number space, the passthru_irq helpers, kvmppc_xive_set_mapped() and kvmppc_xive_clr_mapped(), are called to record or clear the passthrough interrupt information and to perform the switch. The approach taken by this patch is to clear the ESB pages of the guest IRQ number being mapped and let the VM fault handler repopulate. The handler will insert the ESB page corresponding to the HW interrupt of the device being passed-through or the initial IPI ESB page if the device is being removed.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add a mapping for the source ESB pages

2019-04-30T09:35:16Z

Each source is associated with an Event State Buffer (ESB) with a even/odd pair of pages which provides commands to manage the source: to trigger, to EOI, to turn off the source for instance. The custom VM fault handler will deduce the guest IRQ number from the offset of the fault, and the ESB page of the associated XIVE interrupt will be inserted into the VMA using the internal structure caching information on the interrupts.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add a TIMA mapping

2019-04-30T09:35:16Z

Each thread has an associated Thread Interrupt Management context composed of a set of registers. These registers let the thread handle priority management and interrupt acknowledgment. The most important are : - Interrupt Pending Buffer (IPB) - Current Processor Priority (CPPR) - Notification Source Register (NSR) They are exposed to software in four different pages each proposing a view with a different privilege. The first page is for the physical thread context and the second for the hypervisor. Only the third (operating system) and the fourth (user level) are exposed the guest. A custom VM fault handler will populate the VMA with the appropriate pages, which should only be the OS page for now.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add get/set accessors for the VP XIVE state

2019-04-30T09:35:16Z

The state of the thread interrupt management registers needs to be collected for migration. These registers are cached under the 'xive_saved_state.w01' field of the VCPU when the VPCU context is pulled from the HW thread. An OPAL call retrieves the backup of the IPB register in the underlying XIVE NVT structure and merges it in the KVM state.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add a control to dirty the XIVE EQ pages

2019-04-30T09:35:16Z

When migration of a VM is initiated, a first copy of the RAM is transferred to the destination before the VM is stopped, but there is no guarantee that the EQ pages in which the event notifications are queued have not been modified. To make sure migration will capture a consistent memory state, the XIVE device should perform a XIVE quiesce sequence to stop the flow of event notifications and stabilize the EQs. This is the purpose of the KVM_DEV_XIVE_EQ_SYNC control which will also marks the EQ pages dirty to force their transfer.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: Add a global reset control

2019-04-30T09:35:16Z

This control is to be used by the H_INT_RESET hcall from QEMU. Its purpose is to clear all configuration of the sources and EQs. This is necessary in case of a kexec (for a kdump kernel for instance) to make sure that no remaining configuration is left from the previous boot setup so that the new kernel can start safely from a clean state. The queue 7 is ignored when the XIVE device is configured to run in single escalation mode. Prio 7 is used by escalations. The XIVE VP is kept enabled as the vCPU is still active and connected to the XIVE device. Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater Reviewed-by: David Gibson Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
