KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix LPCR one_reg interface

2014-07-28T13:23:16+00:00

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
one_reg interface.  This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
upper 32 bits.  The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
reduces performance in the guest.

We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
since that would break existing userspace binaries.  Instead we define
a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit.  Userspace can still use
the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
as well.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Move KVM_REG_PPC_WORT to an unused register number

2014-05-30T12:26:28+00:00

Commit b005255e12a3 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Context-switch new POWER8
SPRs") added a definition of KVM_REG_PPC_WORT with the same register
number as the existing KVM_REG_PPC_VRSAVE (though in fact the
definitions are not identical because of the different register sizes.)

For clarity, this moves KVM_REG_PPC_WORT to the next unused number,
and also adds it to api.txt.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for DABRX register on POWER7

2014-01-27T15:01:15+00:00

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.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Context-switch new POWER8 SPRs

2014-01-27T15:01:00+00:00

This adds fields to the struct kvm_vcpu_arch to store the new
guest-accessible SPRs on POWER8, adds code to the get/set_one_reg
functions to allow userspace to access this state, and adds code to
the guest entry and exit to context-switch these SPRs between host
and guest.

Note that DPDES (Directed Privileged Doorbell Exception State) is
shared between threads on a core; hence we store it in struct
kvmppc_vcore and have the master thread save and restore it.

KVM: PPC: E500: Add userspace debug stub support

2013-10-17T12:49:40+00:00

This patch adds the debug stub support on booke/bookehv.
Now QEMU debug stub can use hw breakpoint, watchpoint and
software breakpoint to debug guest.

This is how we save/restore debug register context when switching
between guest, userspace and kernel user-process:

When QEMU is running
 -> thread->debug_reg == QEMU debug register context.
 -> Kernel will handle switching the debug register on context switch.
 -> no vcpu_load() called

QEMU makes ioctls (except RUN)
 -> This will call vcpu_load()
 -> should not change context.
 -> Some ioctls can change vcpu debug register, context saved in vcpu->debug_regs

QEMU Makes RUN ioctl
 -> Save thread->debug_reg on STACK
 -> Store thread->debug_reg == vcpu->debug_reg
 -> load thread->debug_reg
 -> RUN VCPU ( So thread points to vcpu context )

Context switch happens When VCPU running
 -> makes vcpu_load() should not load any context
 -> kernel loads the vcpu context as thread->debug_regs points to vcpu context.

On heavyweight_exit
 -> Load the context saved on stack in thread->debug_reg

Currently we do not support debug resource emulation to guest,
On debug exception, always exit to user space irrespective of
user space is expecting the debug exception or not. If this is
unexpected exception (breakpoint/watchpoint event not set by
userspace) then let us leave the action on user space. This
is similar to what it was before, only thing is that now we
have proper exit state available to user space.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Support POWER6 compatibility mode on POWER7

2013-10-17T12:45:02+00:00

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.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for guest Program Priority Register

2013-10-17T12:45:02+00:00

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.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Store LPCR value for each virtual core

2013-10-17T12:45:01+00:00

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.
