This makes the handling of machine check interrupts that occur inside
a guest simpler and more robust, with less done in assembler code and
in real mode.
Now, when a machine check occurs inside a guest, we always get the
machine check event struct and put a copy in the vcpu struct for the
vcpu where the machine check occurred. We no longer call
machine_check_queue_event() from kvmppc_realmode_mc_power7(), because
on POWER8, when a vcpu is running on an offline secondary thread and
we call machine_check_queue_event(), that calls irq_work_queue(),
which doesn't work because the CPU is offline, but instead triggers
the WARN_ON(lazy_irq_pending()) in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (which
fires again and again because nothing clears the condition).
All that machine_check_queue_event() actually does is to cause the
event to be printed to the console. For a machine check occurring in
the guest, we now print the event in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv()
instead.
The assembly code at label machine_check_realmode now just calls C
code and then continues exiting the guest. We no longer either
synthesize a machine check for the guest in assembly code or return
to the guest without a machine check.
The code in kvmppc_handle_exit_hv() is extended to handle the case
where the guest is not FWNMI-capable. In that case we now always
synthesize a machine check interrupt for the guest. Previously, if
the host thinks it has recovered the machine check fully, it would
return to the guest without any notification that the machine check
had occurred. If the machine check was caused by some action of the
guest (such as creating duplicate SLB entries), it is much better to
tell the guest that it has caused a problem. Therefore we now always
generate a machine check interrupt for guests that are not
FWNMI-capable.

Currently, the KVM code assumes that if the host kernel is using the
XIVE interrupt controller (the new interrupt controller that first
appeared in POWER9 systems), then the in-kernel XICS emulation will
use the XIVE hardware to deliver interrupts to the guest. However,
this only works when the host is running in hypervisor mode and has
full access to all of the XIVE functionality. It doesn't work in any
nested virtualization scenario, either with PR KVM or nested-HV KVM,
because the XICS-on-XIVE code calls directly into the native-XIVE
routines, which are not initialized and cannot function correctly
because they use OPAL calls, and OPAL is not available in a guest.
This means that using the in-kernel XICS emulation in a nested
hypervisor that is using XIVE as its interrupt controller will cause a
(nested) host kernel crash. To fix this, we change most of the places
where the current code calls xive_enabled() to select between the
XICS-on-XIVE emulation and the plain XICS emulation to call a new
function, xics_on_xive(), which returns false in a guest.
However, there is a further twist. The plain XICS emulation has some
functions which are used in real mode and access the underlying XICS
controller (the interrupt controller of the host) directly. In the
case of a nested hypervisor, this means doing XICS hypercalls
directly. When the nested host is using XIVE as its interrupt
controller, these hypercalls will fail. Therefore this also adds
checks in the places where the XICS emulation wants to access the
underlying interrupt controller directly, and if that is XIVE, makes
the code use the virtual mode fallback paths, which call generic
kernel infrastructure rather than doing direct XICS access.

Currently we use two bits in the vcpu pending_exceptions bitmap to
indicate that an external interrupt is pending for the guest, one
for "one-shot" interrupts that are cleared when delivered, and one
for interrupts that persist until cleared by an explicit action of
the OS (e.g. an acknowledge to an interrupt controller). The
BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL bit is used for one-shot interrupt requests
and BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL_LEVEL is used for persisting interrupts.
In practice BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL never gets used, because our
Book3S platforms generally, and pseries in particular, expect
external interrupt requests to persist until they are acknowledged
at the interrupt controller. That combined with the confusion
introduced by having two bits for what is essentially the same thing
makes it attractive to simplify things by only using one bit. This
patch does that.
With this patch there is only BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL, and by default
it has the semantics of a persisting interrupt. In order to avoid
breaking the ABI, we introduce a new "external_oneshot" flag which
preserves the behaviour of the KVM_INTERRUPT ioctl with the
KVM_INTERRUPT_SET argument.

This makes sure that MSR "partial-function" bits are not transferred
to SRR1 when delivering an interrupt. This was causing failures in
guests running kernels that include commit f3d96e698e ("powerpc/mm:
Overhaul handling of bad page faults", 2017-07-19), which added code
to check bits of SRR1 on instruction storage interrupts (ISIs) that
indicate a bad page fault. The symptom was that a guest user program
that handled a signal and attempted to return from the signal handler
would get a SIGBUS signal and die.
The code that generated ISIs and some other interrupts would
previously set bits in the guest MSR to indicate the interrupt status
and then call kvmppc_book3s_queue_irqprio(). This technique no
longer works now that kvmppc_inject_interrupt() is masking off those
bits. Instead we make kvmppc_core_queue_data_storage() and
kvmppc_core_queue_inst_storage() call kvmppc_inject_interrupt()

POWER8 has one virtual timebase (VTB) register per subcore, not one
per CPU thread. The HV KVM code currently treats VTB as a per-thread
register, which can lead to spurious soft lockup messages from guests
which use the VTB as the time source for the soft lockup detector.
(CPUs before POWER8 did not have the VTB register.)
For HV KVM, this fixes the problem by making only the primary thread
in each virtual core save and restore the VTB value. With this,
the VTB state becomes part of the kvmppc_vcore structure. This
also means that "piggybacking" of multiple virtual cores onto one
subcore is not possible on POWER8, because then the virtual cores
would share a single VTB register.
PR KVM emulates a VTB register, which is per-vcpu because PR KVM
has no notion of CPU threads or SMT. For PR KVM we move the VTB
state into the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct.

are used to keep track of the number of times the vcpu attempts to and
successfully polls. These stats are currently not used on powerpc.
Implement incrementation of the halt_attempted_poll and
halt_successful_poll vcpu stats for powerpc. Since these stats are summed
over all the vcpus for all running guests it doesn't matter which vcpu
they are attributed to, thus we choose the current runner vcpu of the
vcore.
Also add new vcpu stats: halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and
halt_wait_ns to be used to accumulate the total time spend polling
successfully, polling unsuccessfully and waiting respectively, and
halt_successful_wait to accumulate the number of times the vcpu waits.
Given that halt_poll_success_ns, halt_poll_fail_ns and halt_wait_ns are
expressed in nanoseconds it is necessary to represent these as 64-bit
quantities, otherwise they would overflow after only about 4 seconds.
Given that the total time spend either polling or waiting will be known and
the number of times that each was done, it will be possible to determine
the average poll and wait times. This will give the ability to tune the kvm

transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.
This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.
The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.
The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.
Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.

On POWER, storage caching is usually configured via the MMU - attributes
such as cache-inhibited are stored in the TLB and the hashed page table.
This makes correctly performing cache inhibited IO accesses awkward when
the MMU is turned off (real mode). Some CPU models provide special
registers to control the cache attributes of real mode load and stores but
this is not at all consistent. This is a problem in particular for SLOF,
the firmware used on KVM guests, which runs entirely in real mode, but
which needs to do IO to load the kernel.
To simplify this qemu implements two special hypercalls, H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD
and H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE which simulate a cache-inhibited load or store to
a logical address (aka guest physical address). SLOF uses these for IO.
However, because these are implemented within qemu, not the host kernel,
these bypass any IO devices emulated within KVM itself. The simplest way
to see this problem is to attempt to boot a KVM guest from a virtio-blk
device with iothread / dataplane enabled. The iothread code relies on an
in kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification, which is not
triggered by the IO hcalls, and so the guest will stall in SLOF unable to
load the guest OS.
This patch addresses this by providing in-kernel implementations of the
2 hypercalls, which correctly scan the KVM IO bus. Any access to an
address not handled by the KVM IO bus will cause a VM exit, hitting the
qemu implementation as before.
Note that a userspace change is also required, in order to enable these
new hcall implementations with KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.
2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.
3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

This patch adds kernel side support for software breakpoint.
Design is that, by using an illegal instruction, we trap to hypervisor
via Emulation Assistance interrupt, where we check for the illegal instruction
and accordingly we return to Host or Guest. Patch also adds support for
software breakpoint in PR KVM.

We're going to implement guest code interpretation in KVM for some rare
corner cases. This code needs to be able to inject data and instruction
faults into the guest when it encounters them.
Expose generic APIs to do this in a reasonably subarch agnostic fashion.

We have a nice API to find the translated GPAs of a GVA including protection
flags. So far we only use it on Book3S, but there's no reason the same shouldn't
be used on BookE as well.
Implement a kvmppc_xlate() version for BookE and clean it up to make it more
readable in general.
