commit 91648ec09c1ef69c4d840ab6dab391bfb452d554 upstream.

Since kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte() is called from both virtmode and
realmode, so it can trigger the deadlock.

Suppose the following scene:

Two physical cpuM, cpuN, two VM instances A, B, each VM has a group of
vcpus.

If on cpuM, vcpu_A_1 holds bitlock X (HPTE_V_HVLOCK), then is switched
out, and on cpuN, vcpu_A_2 try to lock X in realmode, then cpuN will be
caught in realmode for a long time.

What makes things even worse if the following happens,
  On cpuM, bitlockX is hold, on cpuN, Y is hold.
  vcpu_B_2 try to lock Y on cpuM in realmode
  vcpu_A_2 try to lock X on cpuN in realmode

Oops! deadlock happens

commit cfc860253abd73e1681696c08ea268d33285a2c4 upstream.

This fixes a typo in the code that saves the guest DSCR (Data Stream
Control Register) into the kvm_vcpu_arch struct on guest exit.  The
effect of the typo was that the DSCR value was saved in the wrong place,
so changes to the DSCR by the guest didn't persist across guest exit
and entry, and some host kernel memory got corrupted.

kwmppc_lazy_ee_enable() should be called as late as possible,
or else we get things like WARN_ON(preemptible()) in enable_kernel_fp()
in configurations where preemptible() works.

Note that book3s_pr already waits until just before __kvmppc_vcpu_run
to call kvmppc_lazy_ee_enable().

EE is hard-disabled on entry to kvmppc_handle_exit(), so call
hard_irq_disable() so that PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS is set, and soft_enabled
is unset.

Without this, we get warnings such as arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c:300,
and sometimes host kernel hangs.

The previous patch made 64-bit booke KVM build again, but Altivec
support is still not complete, and we can't prevent the guest from
turning on Altivec (which can corrupt host state until state
save/restore is implemented).  Disable e6500 on KVM until this is
fixed.

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating
the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X.  H_IPOLL returns
information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual
cpu, without changing any state.  H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it
reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it
also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the
interrupt was first received by the hypervisor.  Currently we just
return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of
virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code.

These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in
future.
