SRR1 stores more information that just the MSR value. It also stores
valuable information about the type of interrupt we received, for
example whether the storage interrupt we just got was because of a
missing htab entry or not.
We use that information to speed up the exit path.
Now if we get preempted before we can interpret the shadow_msr values,
we get into vcpu_put which then calls the MSR handler, which then sets
all the SRR1 information bits in shadow_msr to 0. Great.
So let's preserve the SRR1 specific bits in shadow_msr whenever we set
the MSR. They don't hurt.

When our guest starts using either the FPU, Altivec or VSX we need to make
sure Linux knows about it and sneak into its process switching code
accordingly.
This patch makes accesses to the above parts of the system work inside the

When we need to reinject a program interrupt into the guest, we also need to

Book3S needs some flags in SRR1 to get to know details about an interrupt.
One such example is the trap instruction. It tells the guest kernel that
a program interrupt is due to a trap using a bit in SRR1.
This patch implements above behavior, making WARN_ON behave like WARN_ON.

Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from
the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code.
To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced
with a similar problem and did the same thing:
A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and
then RFIs info the actual handler.
Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code
and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching
part.

We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks
random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in
case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault.
After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more
space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there.
That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it
less racy and less complex.

We now have helpers for the GPRs, so let's also add some for CR and XER.
Having them in the PACA simplifies code a lot, as we don't need to care
about where to store CC or not to overflow any integers.

All code in PPC KVM currently accesses gprs in the vcpu struct directly.
While there's nothing wrong with that wrt the current way gprs are stored
and loaded, it doesn't suffice for the PACA acceleration that will follow
in this patchset.
So let's just create little wrapper inline functions that we call whenever
a GPR needs to be read from or written to. The compiled code shouldn't really
change at all for now.

The PowerPC C ABI defines that registers r14-r31 need to be preserved across
function calls. Since our exit handler is written in C, we can make use of that
and don't need to reload r14-r31 on every entry/exit cycle.
This technique is also used in the BookE code and is called "lightweight exits"
there. To follow the tradition, it's called the same in Book3S.
So far this optimization was disabled though, as the code didn't do what it was
expected to do, but failed to work.
This patch fixes and enables lightweight exits again.

We treated the DEC interrupt like an edge based one. This is not true for
Book3s. The DEC keeps firing until mtdec is issued again and thus clears
the interrupt line.
So let's implement this logic in KVM too. This patch moves the line clearing
from the firing of the interrupt to the mtdec emulation.
This makes PPC64 guests work without AGGRESSIVE_DEC defined.

We're using a switch table to find the irqprio that belongs to a specific
interrupt vector. This table is part of the interrupt inject logic.
Since we'll add a new function to stop interrupts, let's move this table
out of the injection logic into a separate function.

Currently userspace has no chance to find out which virtual address space we're
in and resolve addresses. While that is a big problem for migration, it's also
unpleasent when debugging, as gdb and the monitor don't work on virtual
addresses.
This patch exports enough of the MMU segment state to userspace to make
debugging work and thus also includes the groundwork for migration.
