Commit 523f0e5421c12610527c620b983b443f329e3a32 ("KVM: PPC: E500:
Explicitly mark shadow maps invalid") began using E500_TLB_VALID
for guest TLB1 entries, and skipping invalidations if it's not set.

However, when E500_TLB_VALID was set for such entries, it was on a
fake local ref, and so the invalidations never happen.  gtlb_privs
is documented as being only for guest TLB0, though we already violate
that with E500_TLB_BITMAP.

Now that we have MMU notifiers, and thus don't need to actually
retain a reference to the mapped pages, get rid of tlb_refs, and
use gtlb_privs for E500_TLB_VALID in TLB1.

Since we can have more than one host TLB entry for a given tlbe_ref,
be careful not to clear existing flags that are relevant to other
host TLB entries when preparing a new host TLB entry.

It's possible that we're using the same host TLB1 slot to map (a
presumably different portion of) the same guest TLB1 entry.  Clear
the bit in the map before setting it, so that if the esels are the same
the bit will remain set.

Add one to esel values in h2g_tlb1_rmap, so that "no mapping" can be
distinguished from "esel 0".  Note that we're not saved by the fact
that host esel 0 is reserved for non-KVM use, because KVM host esel
numbering is not the raw host numbering (see to_htlb1_esel).

The existing check handles the case where we've migrated to a different
core than we last ran on, but it doesn't handle the case where we're
still on the same cpu we last ran on, but some other vcpu has run on
this cpu in the meantime.

Without this, guest segfaults (and other misbehavior) have been seen in
smp guests.

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request
  for 3.9.  It has a few interesting highlights, in addition to the
  usual bunch of bug fixes, minor updates, embedded device tree updates
  and new boards:

   - Hand tuned asm implementation of SHA1 (by Paulus &amp; Michael
     Ellerman)

   - Support for Doorbell interrupts on Power8 (kind of fast
     thread-thread IPIs) by Ian Munsie

   - Long overdue cleanup of the way we handle relocation of our open
     firmware trampoline (prom_init.c) on 64-bit by Anton Blanchard

   - Support for saving/restoring &amp; context switching the PPR (Processor
     Priority Register) on server processors that support it.  This
     allows the kernel to preserve thread priorities established by
     userspace.  By Haren Myneni.

   - DAWR (new watchpoint facility) support on Power8 by Michael Neuling

   - Ability to change the DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) which
     controls cache prefetching on a running process via ptrace by
     Alexey Kardashevskiy

   - Support for context switching the TAR register on Power8 (new
     branch target register meant to be used by some new specific
     userspace perf event interrupt facility which is yet to be enabled)
     by Ian Munsie.

   - Improve preservation of the CFAR register (which captures the
     origin of a branch) on various exception conditions by Paulus.

   - Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
     it belongs by Philippe De Muyter

   - Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
     (based on original work by Matt Evans).  For those curious about
     the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."

(See commit db8ff907027b: "powerpc: Documentation for transactional
memory on powerpc" for the mentioned description added to the file
Documentation/powerpc/transactional_memory.txt)

<title>powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr: Fix compilation on 32-bit machines</title>

Commit a413f474a0 ("powerpc: Disable relocation on exceptions whenever
PR KVM is active") added calls to pSeries_disable_reloc_on_exc() and
pSeries_enable_reloc_on_exc() to book3s_pr.c, and added declarations
of those functions to &lt;asm/hvcall.h&gt;, but didn't add an include of
&lt;asm/hvcall.h&gt; to book3s_pr.c.  64-bit kernels seem to get hvcall.h
included via some other path, but 32-bit kernels fail to compile with:

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c: In function ‘kvmppc_core_init_vm’:
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c:1300:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pSeries_disable_reloc_on_exc’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c: In function ‘kvmppc_core_destroy_vm’:
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.c:1316:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pSeries_enable_reloc_on_exc’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_pr.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kvm] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

This fixes it by adding an include of hvcall.h.

<title>powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Preserve guest CFAR register value</title>

The CFAR (Come-From Address Register) is a useful debugging aid that
exists on POWER7 processors.  Currently HV KVM doesn't save or restore
the CFAR register for guest vcpus, making the CFAR of limited use in
guests.

This adds the necessary code to capture the CFAR value saved in the
early exception entry code (it has to be saved before any branch is
executed), save it in the vcpu.arch struct, and restore it on entry
to the guest.
