<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Disable SCV when AIL could be disabled</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b5149e229218118c9cd44a4d256f970ddcbf745b</id>
<content type='text'>
PR KVM does not support running with AIL enabled, and SCV does is not
supported with AIL disabled. Fix this by ensuring the SCV facility is
disabled with FSCR while a CPU could be running with AIL=0.

The PowerNV host supports disabling AIL on a per-CPU basis, so SCV just
needs to be disabled when a vCPU is being run.

The pSeries machine can only switch AIL on a system-wide basis, so it
must disable SCV support at boot if the configuration can potentially
run a PR KVM guest.

Also ensure a the FSCR[SCV] bit can not be enabled when emulating
mtFSCR for the guest.

SCV is not emulated for the PR guest at the moment, this just fixes the
host crashes.

Alternatives considered and rejected:
- SCV support can not be disabled by PR KVM after boot, because it is
  advertised to userspace with HWCAP.
- AIL can not be disabled on a per-CPU basis. At least when running on
  pseries it is a per-LPAR setting.
- Support for real-mode SCV vectors will not be added because they are
  at 0x17000 so making such a large fixed head space causes immediate
  value limits to be exceeded, requiring a lot rework and more code.
- Disabling SCV for any PR KVM possible kernel will cause a slowdown
  when not using PR KVM.
- A boot time option to disable SCV to use PR KVM is user-hostile.
- System call instruction emulation for SCV facility unavailable
  instructions is too complex and old emulation code was subtly broken
  and removed.

This adds Kconfig selection which allows 64s hash MMU support to be

supported CPU type is POWER9 (or higher), and KVM is not selected.

<title>KVM: Use interval tree to do fast hva lookup in memslots</title>

<content type='text'>
The current memslots implementation only allows quick binary search by gfn,
quick lookup by hva is not possible - the implementation has to do a linear
scan of the whole memslots array, even though the operation being performed
might apply just to a single memslot.

This significantly hurts performance of per-hva operations with higher
memslot counts.

Since hva ranges can overlap between memslots an interval tree is needed
for tracking them.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't always save PMU for guest capable of nesting</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d3c8a2d3740d93778ea102d4c781746d284177bf</id>
<content type='text'>
Provide a config option that controls the workaround added by commit
63279eeb7f93 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Always save guest pmu for guest
capable of nesting"). The option defaults to y for now, but is expected
to go away within a few releases.

Nested capable guests running with the earlier commit 178266389794
("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV Nested: Reflect guest PMU in-use to L0 when guest
SPRs are live") will now indicate the PMU in-use status of their guests,
which means the parent does not need to unconditionally save the PMU for
nested capable guests.

After this latest round of performance optimisations, this option costs
about 540 cycles or 10% entry/exit performance on a POWER9 nested-capable
guest.

Commit a278e7ea608b ("powerpc: Fix compile issue with force DAWR")
selects the non-existing config PPC_DAWR_FORCE_ENABLE for config
KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER. As this commit also introduces a config PPC_DAWR
and this config PPC_DAWR is selected with PPC if PPC64, there is no
need for any further select in the KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER.

Remove an obsolete and unneeded select in config KVM_BOOK3S_64_HANDLER.

The issue was identified with ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py.

<title>treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a7f7f6248d9740d710fd6bd190293fe5e16410ac</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

<content type='text'>
Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is
not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel
communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without
virtualization support from using vhost.

To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so
CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION.

While at it, also squash Kconfig.vringh into vhost Kconfig file. This
avoids the trick of conditional inclusion from VOP or CAIF. Then it
will be easier to introduce new vringh users and common dependency for
both vringh and vhost.
