2014-01-27KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for DABRX register on POWER7Paul Mackerras1-0/+1
The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user, kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest. This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX. PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface. For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add "hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set DABRX_BTI. The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR. For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values on POWER8. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Support creating the ARM VGIC device through the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, which can then later be leveraged to use the KVM_{GET/SET}_DEVICE_ATTR, which is useful both for setting addresses in a more generic API than the ARM-specific one and is useful for save/restore of VGIC state. Adds KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL to ARM capabilities. Note that we change the check for creating a VGIC from bailing out if any VCPUs were created, to bailing out if any VCPUs were ever run. This is an important distinction that shouldn't break anything, but allows creating the VGIC after the VCPUs have been created.

2013-10-30kvm: Add VFIO deviceAlex Williamson1-0/+22
So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.

2013-10-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Support POWER6 compatibility mode on POWER7Paul Mackerras1-0/+1
This enables us to use the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) on POWER7 to put the processor into architecture 2.05 compatibility mode when running a guest. In this mode the new instructions and registers that were introduced on POWER7 are disabled in user mode. This includes all the VSX facilities plus several other instructions such as ldbrx, stdbrx, popcntw, popcntd, etc. To select this mode, we have a new register accessible through the set/get_one_reg interface, called KVM_REG_PPC_ARCH_COMPAT. Setting this to zero gives the full set of capabilities of the processor. Setting it to one of the "logical" PVR values defined in PAPR puts the vcpu into the compatibility mode for the corresponding architecture level. The supported values are: 0x0f000002 Architecture 2.05 (POWER6) 0x0f000003 Architecture 2.06 (POWER7) 0x0f100003 Architecture 2.06+ (POWER7+) Since the PCR is per-core, the architecture compatibility level and the corresponding PCR value are stored in the struct kvmppc_vcore, and are therefore shared between all vcpus in a virtual core.

2013-10-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for guest Program Priority RegisterPaul Mackerras1-0/+1
POWER7 and later IBM server processors have a register called the Program Priority Register (PPR), which controls the priority of each hardware CPU SMT thread, and affects how fast it runs compared to other SMT threads. This priority can be controlled by writing to the PPR or by use of a set of instructions of the form or rN,rN,rN which are otherwise no-ops but have been defined to set the priority to particular levels. This adds code to context switch the PPR when entering and exiting guests and to make the PPR value accessible through the SET/GET_ONE_REG interface. When entering the guest, we set the PPR as late as possible, because if we are setting a low thread priority it will make the code run slowly from that point on. Similarly, the first-level interrupt handlers save the PPR value in the PACA very early on, and set the thread priority to the medium level, so that the interrupt handling code runs at a reasonable speed.

2013-10-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Store LPCR value for each virtual corePaul Mackerras1-0/+1
This adds the ability to have a separate LPCR (Logical Partitioning Control Register) value relating to a guest for each virtual core, rather than only having a single value for the whole VM. This corresponds to what real POWER hardware does, where there is a LPCR per CPU thread but most of the fields are required to have the same value on all active threads in a core. The per-virtual-core LPCR can be read and written using the GET/SET_ONE_REG interface. Userspace can can only modify the following fields of the LPCR value: DPFD Default prefetch depth ILE Interrupt little-endian TC Translation control (secondary HPT hash group search disable) We still maintain a per-VM default LPCR value in kvm->arch.lpcr, which contains bits relating to memory management, i.e. the Virtualized Partition Memory (VPM) bits and the bits relating to guest real mode. When this default value is updated, the update needs to be propagated to the per-vcore values, so we add a kvmppc_update_lpcr() helper to do that.

The VRSAVE register value for a vcpu is accessible through the GET/SET_SREGS interface for Book E processors, but not for Book 3S processors. In order to make this accessible for Book 3S processors, this adds a new register identifier for GET/SET_ONE_REG, and adds the code to implement it.

2013-10-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement timebase offset for guestsPaul Mackerras1-0/+1
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. Therefore this provides a new per-vcpu value accessed via the one_reg interface using the new KVM_REG_PPC_TB_OFFSET identifier. This value defaults to 0 and is not modified by KVM. On entering the guest, this value is added onto the timebase, and on exiting the guest, it is subtracted from the timebase. This is only supported for recent POWER hardware which has the TBU40 (timebase upper 40 bits) register. Writing to the TBU40 register only alters the upper 40 bits of the timebase, leaving the lower 24 bits unchanged. This provides a way to modify the timebase for guest migration without disturbing the synchronization of the timebase registers across CPU cores. The kernel rounds up the value given to a multiple of 2^24. Timebase values stored in KVM structures (struct kvm_vcpu, struct kvmppc_vcore, etc.) are stored as host timebase values. The timebase values in the dispatch trace log need to be guest timebase values, however, since that is read directly by the guest. This moves the setting of vcpu->arch.dec_expires on guest exit to a point after we have restored the host timebase so that vcpu->arch.dec_expires is a host timebase value.

2013-10-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Reserve POWER8 space in get/set_one_regMichael Neuling1-0/+39
This reserves space in get/set_one_reg ioctl for the extra guest state needed for POWER8. It doesn't implement these at all, it just reserves them so that the ABI is defined now. A few things to note here: - This add *a lot* state for transactional memory. TM suspend mode, this is unavoidable, you can't simply roll back all transactions and store only the checkpointed state. I've added this all to get/set_one_reg (including GPRs) rather than creating a new ioctl which returns a struct kvm_regs like KVM_GET_REGS does. This means we if we need to extract the TM state, we are going to need a bucket load of IOCTLs. Hopefully most of the time this will not be needed as we can look at the MSR to see if TM is active and only grab them when needed. If this becomes a bottle neck in future we can add another ioctl to grab all this state in one go. - The TM state is offset by 0x80000000. - For TM, I've done away with VMX and FP and created a single 64x128 bit VSX register space. - I've left a space of 1 (at 0x9c) since Paulus needs to add a value which applies to POWER7 as well.

2013-06-19sched: Rename sched.c as sched/core.c in comments and DocumentationViresh Kumar1-2/+2
Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time back and the comments/Documentation never got updated. I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of fixing it globally. I haven't crossed check if the stuff that is referenced in sched/core.c by all these files is still present and hasn't changed as that wasn't the motive behind this patch.

2013-05-02KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add API for in-kernel XICS emulationPaul Mackerras2-0/+74
This adds the API for userspace to instantiate an XICS device in a VM and connect VCPUs to it. The API consists of a new device type for the KVM_CREATE_DEVICE ioctl, a new capability KVM_CAP_IRQ_XICS, which functions similarly to KVM_CAP_IRQ_MPIC, and the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which is used to assert and deassert interrupt inputs of the XICS. The XICS device has one attribute group, KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES. Each attribute within this group corresponds to the state of one interrupt source. The attribute number is the same as the interrupt source number. This does not support irq routing or irqfd yet.

2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S: Facilities to save/restore XICS presentation ctrler statePaul Mackerras1-0/+1
This adds the ability for userspace to save and restore the state of the XICS interrupt presentation controllers (ICPs) via the KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG interface. Since there is one ICP per vcpu, we simply define a new 64-bit register in the ONE_REG space for the ICP state. The state includes the CPU priority setting, the pending IPI priority, and the priority and source number of any pending external interrupt.
