This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
interrupt controller. This includes waking secondary threads to run
the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.
Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
change:
rm_entry: 3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
rm_exit: 4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
rm_intr: 1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)
and this after the change:

rm_exit: 4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
rm_intr: 1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)
for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.
The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
with this change.
The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
and a little-endian POWER8 host.

On entry to the guest, secondary threads now wait for the primary to
switch the MMU after loading up most of their state, rather than before.
This means that the secondary threads get into the guest sooner, in the
common case where the secondary threads get to kvmppc_hv_entry before
the primary thread.
On exit, the first thread out increments the exit count and interrupts
the other threads (to get them out of the guest) before saving most
of its state, rather than after. That means that the other threads
exit sooner and means that the first thread doesn't spend so much
time waiting for the other threads at the point where the MMU gets
switched back to the host.
This pulls out the code that increments the exit count and interrupts
other threads into a separate function, kvmhv_commence_exit().
This also makes sure that r12 and vcpu->arch.trap are set correctly
in some corner cases.
Statistics from /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/vm*/vcpu*/timings show the
improvement. Aggregating across vcpus for a guest with 32 vcpus,
8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, gives this before the change:
rm_entry: avg 4537.3ns (222 - 48444, 1068878 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4787.6ns (152 - 165490, 1010717 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1673.6ns (12 - 341304, 3818691 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: avg 3427.7ns (232 - 68150, 1118921 samples)
rm_exit: avg 4716.0ns (12 - 150720, 1119477 samples)
rm_intr: avg 1614.8ns (12 - 522436, 3850432 samples)
showing a substantial reduction in the time spent per guest entry in
the real-mode guest entry code, and smaller reductions in the real
mode guest exit and interrupt handling times. (The test was to start
the guest and boot Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.)

Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
of 8 bits each. The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

This arranges for threads that are napping due to their vcpu having
ceded or due to not having a vcpu to wake up at the end of the guest's
timeslice without having to be poked with an IPI. We do that by
arranging for the decrementer to contain a value no greater than the
number of timebase ticks remaining until the end of the timeslice.
In the case of a thread with no vcpu, this number is in the hypervisor
decrementer already. In the case of a ceded vcpu, we use the smaller
of the HDEC value and the DEC value.
Using the DEC like this when ceded means we need to save and restore
the guest decrementer value around the nap.

When running a multi-threaded guest and vcpu 0 in a virtual core
is not running in the guest (i.e. it is busy elsewhere in the host),
thread 0 of the physical core will switch the MMU to the guest and
then go to nap mode in the code at kvm_do_nap. If the guest sends
an IPI to thread 0 using the msgsndp instruction, that will wake
up thread 0 and cause all the threads in the guest to exit to the
host unnecessarily. To avoid the unnecessary exit, this arranges
for the PECEDP bit to be cleared in this situation. When napping
due to a H_CEDE from the guest, we still set PECEDP so that the
thread will wake up on an IPI sent using msgsndp.

We can tell when a secondary thread has finished running a guest by
the fact that it clears its kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu pointer, so there
is no real need for the nap_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct.
This changes kvmppc_wait_for_nap to poll the kvm_hstate.kvm_vcpu
pointers of the secondary threads rather than polling vc->nap_count.
Besides reducing the size of the kvmppc_vcore struct by 8 bytes,
this also means that we can tell which secondary threads have got
stuck and thus print a more informative error message.

Rather than calling cond_resched() in kvmppc_run_core() before doing
the post-processing for the vcpus that we have just run (that is,
calling kvmppc_handle_exit_hv(), kvmppc_set_timer(), etc.), we now do
that post-processing before calling cond_resched(), and that post-
processing is moved out into its own function, post_guest_process().
The reschedule point is now in kvmppc_run_vcpu() and we define a new
vcore state, VCORE_PREEMPT, to indicate that that the vcore's runner
task is runnable but not running. (Doing the reschedule with the
vcore in VCORE_INACTIVE state would be bad because there are potentially
other vcpus waiting for the runner in kvmppc_wait_for_exec() which
then wouldn't get woken up.)
Also, we make use of the handy cond_resched_lock() function, which
unlocks and relocks vc->lock for us around the reschedule.

Previously, if kvmppc_run_core() was running a VCPU that needed a VPA
update (i.e. one of its 3 virtual processor areas needed to be pinned
in memory so the host real mode code can update it on guest entry and
exit), we would drop the vcore lock and do the update there and then.
Future changes will make it inconvenient to drop the lock, so instead
we now remove it from the list of runnable VCPUs and wake up its
VCPU task. This will have the effect that the VCPU task will exit
kvmppc_run_vcpu(), go around the do loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), and
re-enter kvmppc_run_vcpu(), whereupon it will do the necessary call
to kvmppc_update_vpas() and then rejoin the vcore.
The one complication is that the runner VCPU (whose VCPU task is the
current task) might be one of the ones that gets removed from the
runnable list. In that case we just return from kvmppc_run_core()
and let the code in kvmppc_run_vcpu() wake up another VCPU task to be
the runner if necessary.
This all means that the VCORE_STARTING state is no longer used, so we
remove it.

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code. Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:
* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
host. This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
while other threads in the same vcore are active.
These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings". This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.
The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%. Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

This creates a debugfs directory for each HV guest (assuming debugfs
is enabled in the kernel config), and within that directory, a file
by which the contents of the guest's HPT (hashed page table) can be
read. The directory is named vmnnnn, where nnnn is the PID of the
process that created the guest. The file is named "htab". This is
intended to help in debugging problems in the host's management
of guest memory.
The contents of the file consist of a series of lines like this:
3f48 4000d032bf003505 0000000bd7ff1196 00000003b5c71196
The first field is the index of the entry in the HPT, the second and
third are the HPT entry, so the third entry contains the real page
number that is mapped by the entry if the entry's valid bit is set.
The fourth field is the guest's view of the second doubleword of the
entry, so it contains the guest physical address. (The format of the
second through fourth fields are described in the Power ISA and also
in arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h.)

Interrupt-based hypercalls return H_TOO_HARD to inform KVM that it needs
to switch to the host to complete the rest of hypercall function in
virtual mode. This patch ports the virtual mode ICS/ICP reject and resend
functions to be runnable in hypervisor real mode, thus avoiding the need
to switch to the host to execute these functions in virtual mode. However,
the hypercalls continue to return H_TOO_HARD for vcpu_wakeup and notify
events - these events cannot be done in real mode and they will still need
a switch to host virtual mode.
There are sufficient differences between the real mode code and the
virtual mode code for the ICS/ICP resend and reject functions that

Replaces the ICS mutex lock with a spin lock since we will be porting
these routines to real mode. Note that we need to disable interrupts
before we take the lock in anticipation of the fact that on the guest
side, we are running in the context of a hard irq and interrupts are
disabled (EE bit off) when the lock is acquired. Again, because we
will be acquiring the lock in hypervisor real mode, we need to use
an arch_spinlock_t instead of a normal spinlock here as we want to
avoid running any lockdep code (which may not be safe to execute in

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator.
This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of
generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random
numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency
oscillators and are almost completely entropic.
PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one
64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode
implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was
implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is
generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for
all the threads in the same virtual core.
Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM
implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The
H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest
does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel
H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

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.

We can disable a THP split or a hugepage collapse by disabling irq.
We do send IPI to all the cpus in the early part of split/collapse,
and disabling local irq ensure we don't make progress with
split/collapse. If the THP is getting split we return NULL from
find_linux_pte_or_hugepte(). For all the current callers it should be ok.
We need to be careful if we want to use returned pte_t pointer outside
the irq disabled region. W.r.t to THP split, the pfn remains the same,
but then a hugepage collapse will result in a pfn change. There are
few steps we can take to avoid a hugepage collapse.One way is to take page
reference inside the irq disable region. Other option is to take
mmap_sem so that a parallel collapse will not happen. We can also
disable collapse by taking pmd_lock. Another method used by kvm

iodev.h contains definitions for the kvm_io_bus framework. This is
needed both by the generic KVM code in virt/kvm as well as by
architecture specific code under arch/. Putting the header file in
virt/kvm and using local includes in the architecture part seems at
least dodgy to me, so let's move the file into include/kvm, so that a
more natural "#include <kvm/iodev.h>" can be used by all of the code.
This also solves a problem later when using struct kvm_io_device
in arm_vgic.h.

Sometimes the KVM code on powerpc needs to emulate load or store
instructions from the guest, which can include both normal and byte
reversed forms.
We currently (AFAICT) handle this correctly, but some variable names are
very misleading. In particular we use "is_bigendian" in several places to
actually mean "is the IO the same endian as the host", but we now support
little-endian powerpc hosts. This also ties into the misleadingly named
ld_le*() and st_le*() functions, which in fact always byteswap, even on
an LE host.
This patch cleans this up by renaming to more accurate "host_swabbed", and
uses the generic swab*() functions instead of the powerpc specific and
misleadingly named ld_le*() and st_le*() functions.

Commit 4a157d61b4 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix endianness of
instruction obtained from HEIR register") had the side effect that
we no longer reset vcpu->arch.last_inst to -1 on guest exit in
the cases where the instruction is not fetched from the guest.
This means that if instruction emulation turns out to be required
in those cases, the host will emulate the wrong instruction, since
vcpu->arch.last_inst will contain the last instruction that was
emulated.
This fixes it by making sure that vcpu->arch.last_inst is reset
to -1 in those cases.

takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture

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.

The return value of kvm_arch_vcpu_postcreate is not checked in its
caller. This is okay, because only x86 provides vcpu_postcreate right
now and it could only fail if vcpu_load failed. But that is not
possible during KVM_CREATE_VCPU (kvm_arch_vcpu_load is void, too), so
just get rid of the unchecked return value.

The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.
If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

the arrays, and do the array offset in the assembly code.
Creating an asm-offsets symbol for each field individually makes the
code much nicer to read, particularly for the MMCRx/SIxR/SDAR fields, and
might have helped us notice the recent double restore bug we had in this
code.

- spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-assisted
virtualization on the PPC970
- ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes
For x86:
- small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
- usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
- APICv fixes
- XSAVES support for hosts and guests. XSAVES hosts were broken because
the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM userspace
ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is going to stable.
Guest support is just a matter of exposing the feature and CPUID leaves
support.
Right now KVM is broken for PPC BookE in your tree (doesn't compile).
I'll reply to the pull request with a patch, please apply it either
before the pull request or in the merge commit, in order to preserve
bisectability somewhat.

Commit 69111bac42 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses") introduced
compile breakage to the e500 target by introducing invalid automatically
created C syntax.
Fix up the breakage and make the code compile again.
