Currently we forward MCEs to guest which have been recovered by guest.
And for unhandled errors we do not deliver the MCE to guest. It looks like
with no support of FWNMI in qemu, guest just panics whenever we deliver the
recovered MCEs to guest. Also, the existig code used to return to host for
unhandled errors which was casuing guest to hang with soft lockups inside
guest and makes it difficult to recover guest instance.
This patch now forwards all fatal MCEs to guest causing guest to crash/panic.
And, for recovered errors we just go back to normal functioning of guest
instead of returning to host. This fixes soft lockup issues in guest.
This patch also fixes an issue where guest MCE events were not logged to
host console.

"Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got
a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.
There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
still want to sort through and test.
The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the
kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly
thanks to Anton and Rusty.
We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that
traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This
meant more churn that just endian fixes.
This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.
There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
*will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
(the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).
And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."

On LPAR guest systems Linux enables the shadow SLB to indicate to the
hypervisor a number of SLB entries that always have to be available.
Today we go through this shadow SLB and disable all ESID's valid bits.
However, pHyp doesn't like this approach very much and honors us with
fancy machine checks.
Fortunately the shadow SLB descriptor also has an entry that indicates
the number of valid entries following. During the lifetime of a guest
we can just swap that value to 0 and don't have to worry about the
SLB restoration magic.
While we're touching the code, let's also make it more readable (get
rid of rldicl), allow it to deal with a dynamic number of bolted
SLB entries and only do shadow SLB swizzling on LPAR systems.

This adds workarounds for two hardware bugs in the POWER8 performance
monitor unit (PMU), both related to interrupt generation. The effect
of these bugs is that PMU interrupts can get lost, leading to tools
such as perf reporting fewer counts and samples than they should.
The first bug relates to the PMAO (perf. mon. alert occurred) bit in
MMCR0; setting it should cause an interrupt, but doesn't. The other
bug relates to the PMAE (perf. mon. alert enable) bit in MMCR0.
Setting PMAE when a counter is negative and counter negative
conditions are enabled to cause alerts should cause an alert, but
doesn't.
The workaround for the first bug is to create conditions where a
counter will overflow, whenever we are about to restore a MMCR0
value that has PMAO set (and PMAO_SYNC clear). The workaround for
the second bug is to freeze all counters using MMCR2 before reading
MMCR0.

Current, when testing whether a page is dirty (when constructing the
bitmap for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl), we test the C (changed) bit
in the HPT entries mapping the page, and if it is 0, we consider the
page to be clean. However, the Power ISA doesn't require processors
to set the C bit to 1 immediately when writing to a page, and in fact
allows them to delay the writeback of the C bit until they receive a
TLB invalidation for the page. Thus it is possible that the page
could be dirty and we miss it.
Now, if there are vcpus running, this is not serious since the
collection of the dirty log is racy already - some vcpu could dirty
the page just after we check it. But if there are no vcpus running we
should return definitive results, in case we are in the final phase of
migrating the guest.
Also, if the permission bits in the HPTE don't allow writing, then we
know that no CPU can set C. If the HPTE was previously writable and
the page was modified, any C bit writeback would have been flushed out
by the tlbie that we did when changing the HPTE to read-only.
Otherwise we need to do a TLB invalidation even if the C bit is 0, and
then check the C bit.

The dirty map that we construct for the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl has
one bit per system page (4K/64K). Currently, we only set one bit in
the map for each HPT entry with the Change bit set, even if the HPT is
for a large page (e.g., 16MB). Userspace then considers only the
first system page dirty, though in fact the guest may have modified
anywhere in the large page.
To fix this, we make kvm_test_clear_dirty() return the actual number
of pages that are dirty (and rename it to kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages()
to emphasize that that's what it returns). In kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log()
we then set that many bits in the dirty map.

Currently, when a huge page is faulted in for a guest, we select the
rmap chain to insert the HPTE into based on the guest physical address
that the guest tried to access. Since there is an rmap chain for each
system page, there are many rmap chains for the area covered by a huge
page (e.g. 256 for 16MB pages when PAGE_SIZE = 64kB), and the huge-page
HPTE could end up in any one of them.
For consistency, and to make the huge-page HPTEs easier to find, we now
put huge-page HPTEs in the rmap chain corresponding to the base address
of the huge page.

The global_invalidates() function contains a check that is intended
to tell whether we are currently executing in the context of a hypercall
issued by the guest. The reason is that the optimization of using a
local TLB invalidate instruction is only valid in that context. The
check was testing local_paca->kvm_hstate.kvm_vcore, which gets set
when entering the guest but no longer gets cleared when exiting the
guest. To fix this, we use the kvm_vcpu field instead, which does
get cleared when exiting the guest, by the kvmppc_release_hwthread()
calls inside kvmppc_run_core().
The effect of having the check wrong was that when kvmppc_do_h_remove()
got called from htab_write() on the destination machine during a
migration, it cleared the current cpu's bit in kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush.
This meant that when the guest started running in the destination VM,
it may miss out on doing a complete TLB flush, and therefore may end
up using stale TLB entries from a previous guest that used the same
LPID value.
This should make migration more reliable.

We worked around some nasty KVM magic page hcall breakages:
1) NX bit not honored, so ignore NX when we detect it
2) LE guests swizzle hypercall instruction
Without these fixes in place, there's no way it would make sense to expose kvm
hypercalls to a guest. Chances are immensely high it would trip over and break.
So add a new CAP that gives user space a hint that we have workarounds for the
bugs above in place. It can use those as hint to disable PV hypercalls when
the guest CPU is anything POWER7 or higher and the host does not have fixes
in place.

On recent IBM Power CPUs, while the hashed page table is looked up using
the page size from the segmentation hardware (i.e. the SLB), it is
possible to have the HPT entry indicate a larger page size. Thus for
example it is possible to put a 16MB page in a 64kB segment, but since
the hash lookup is done using a 64kB page size, it may be necessary to
put multiple entries in the HPT for a single 16MB page. This
capability is called mixed page-size segment (MPSS). With MPSS,
there are two relevant page sizes: the base page size, which is the
size used in searching the HPT, and the actual page size, which is the
size indicated in the HPT entry. [ Note that the actual page size is
always >= base page size ].
We use "ibm,segment-page-sizes" device tree node to advertise
the MPSS support to PAPR guest. The penc encoding indicates whether
we support a specific combination of base page size and actual
page size in the same segment. We also use the penc value in the
LP encoding of HPTE entry.
This patch exposes MPSS support to KVM guest by advertising the
feature via "ibm,segment-page-sizes". It also adds the necessary changes
to decode the base page size and the actual page size correctly from the
HPTE entry.

Today when KVM tries to reserve memory for the hash page table it
allocates from the normal page allocator first. If that fails it
falls back to CMA's reserved region. One of the side effects of
this is that we could end up exhausting the page allocator and
get linux into OOM conditions while we still have plenty of space
available in CMA.
This patch addresses this issue by first trying hash page table
allocation from CMA's reserved region before falling back to the normal
page allocator. So if we run out of memory, we really are out of memory.

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.
When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
native endian load/store operations.
Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.
For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.
For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
functions that evaluate this variable.

Writes to the old global default (/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default)

threads_per_core and these changes are a nop.
We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT.
This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with
a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current
threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a
thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split

Instead of adding an identical mechanism to block split core, rework the
secondary inhibit code to be a "HV KVM is active" check. We can then use
that in both the cpu hotplug code and the upcoming split core code.

This request includes a few bug fixes that really shouldn't wait for the next
release.
It fixes KVM on 32bit PowerPC when built as module. It also fixes the PV KVM
acceleration when NX gets honored by the host. Furthermore we fix transactional
memory support and numa support on HV KVM.

Merge tag 'signed-for-3.15' of git://github.com/agraf/linux-2.6 into kvm-master
Patch queue for 3.15 - 2014-05-12
This request includes a few bug fixes that really shouldn't wait for the next
release.
It fixes KVM on 32bit PowerPC when built as module. It also fixes the PV KVM
acceleration when NX gets honored by the host. Furthermore we fix transactional
memory support and numa support on HV KVM.
This series adds support for building the powerpc 64-bit
LE kernel using the new ABI v2. We already supported
running ABI v2 userspace programs but this adds support
for building the kernel itself using the new ABI.
The book3s_32 target can get built as module which means we don't see the
config define for it in code. Instead, check on the bool define
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_32_HANDLER whenever we want to know whether we're building
for a book3s_32 host.
This fixes running book3s_32 kvm as a module for me.

Testing by Michael Neuling revealed that commit e4e3812150 ("KVM:
PPC: Book3S HV: Add transactional memory support") is missing the code
that saves away the checkpointed state of the guest when switching to
the host. This adds that code, which was in earlier versions of the
patch but went missing somehow.

Numa fault is a method which help to achieve auto numa balancing.
When such a page fault takes place, the page fault handler will check
whether the page is placed correctly. If not, migration should be
involved to cut down the distance between the cpu and pages.
A pte with _PAGE_NUMA help to implement numa fault. It means not to
allow the MMU to access the page directly. So a page fault is triggered
and numa fault handler gets the opportunity to run checker.
As for the access of MMU, we need special handling for the powernv's guest.
When we mark a pte with _PAGE_NUMA, we already call mmu_notifier to
invalidate it in guest's htab, but when we tried to re-insert them,
we firstly try to map it in real-mode. Only after this fails, we fallback
to virt mode, and most of important, we run numa fault handler in virt
mode. This patch guards the way of real-mode to ensure that if a pte is
marked with _PAGE_NUMA, it will NOT be mapped in real mode, instead, it will
be mapped in virt mode and have the opportunity to be checked with placement.

The secondary threads in the core are kept offline before launching guests
in kvm on powerpc: "371fefd6f2dc4666:KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use
SMT processor modes."
Hence their runlatch bits are cleared. When the secondary threads are called
in to start a guest, their runlatch bits need to be set to indicate that they
are busy. The primary thread has its runlatch bit set though, but there is no
harm in setting this bit once again. Hence set the runlatch bit for all
threads before they start guest.
