    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Adapt TLB invalidations to work on POWER9 · 7c5b06ca
    Paul Mackerras authored
    POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry)
    and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions.  Both instructions get a
    set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the
    instruction word.  The tlbiel instruction now has a second register
    operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and
    should otherwise contain 0.
    
    This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9
    as well as older processors.  Since we only handle HPT guests so
    far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction
    word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally
    execute different instructions depending on the processor.
    
    The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
    is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets.  Rather than
    using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on
    which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time
    and store it in the kvm_arch struct.  That will make it possible to
    get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with
    compatibility with future processors.
    
    Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the
    whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the
    guest on each processor.  Therefore we don't set all bits in the
    tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9.
