Some logic of the init_kvm_softmmu function is required to build the Nested Nested Paging context. So factor the required logic into a seperate function and export it. Also make the whole init path suitable for more than one mmu context. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This patch introduces an inject_page_fault function pointer into struct kvm_mmu which will be used to inject a page fault. This will be used later when Nested Nested Paging is implemented. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This patch introduces a special set_tdp_cr3 function pointer in kvm_x86_ops which is only used for tpd enabled mmu contexts. This allows to remove some hacks from svm code. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

This patch changes the tdp_enabled flag from its global meaning to the mmu-context and renames it to direct_map there. This is necessary for Nested SVM with emulation of Nested Paging where we need an extra MMU context to shadow the Nested Nested Page Table.

The walk_addr function checks for !is_long_mode in its 64 bit version. But what is meant here is a check for pae paging. Change the condition to really check for pae paging so that it also works with nested nested paging. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Some operating systems store data about the host processor at the time of installation, and when booted on a more uptodate cpu tries to read MSR_EBC_FREQUENCY_ID. This has been found with XP.

This patch changes the rip handling in the vmrun emulation path from using next_rip to the generic kvm register access functions. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

This patch implements restoring of the correct rip, rsp, and rax after the svm emulation in KVM injected a selective_cr0 write intercept into the guest hypervisor. The problem was that the vmexit is emulated in the instruction emulation which later commits the registers right after the write-cr0 instruction. So the l1 guest will continue to run with the l2 rip, rsp and rax resulting in unpredictable behavior. This patch is not the final word, it is just an easy patch to fix the issue. The real fix will be done when the instruction emulator is made aware of nested virtualization. Until this is done this patch fixes the issue and provides an easy way to fix this in -stable too.

This patch fixes 32 bit legacy paging with NPT enabled. The mmu_check_root call on the top-level of the loop causes root_gfn to take values (in the tdp_enabled path) which are outside of guest memory. So the mmu_check_root call fails at some point in the loop interation causing the guest to tiple-fault. This patch changes the mmu_check_root calls to the places where they are really necessary. As a side-effect it introduces a check for the root of a pae page table too. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

We have to protect the include for linux/of.h by __KERNEL__ so it doesn't accidently get referenced outside. This patch fixes this and makes the tree compile again. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

BookE also wants to support level based interrupts, so let's implement all the necessary logic there. We need to trick a bit here because the irqprios are 1:1 assigned to architecture defined values. But since there is some space left there, we can just pick a random one and move it later on - it's internal anyways. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Now that we have all the level interrupt magic in place, let's expose the capability to user space, so it can make use of it! Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

The current interrupt logic is just completely broken. We get a notification from user space, telling us that an interrupt is there. But then user space expects us that we just acknowledge an interrupt once we deliver it to the guest. This is not how real hardware works though. On real hardware, the interrupt controller pulls the external interrupt line until it gets notified that the interrupt was received. So in reality we have two events: pulling and letting go of the interrupt line. To maintain backwards compatibility, I added a new request for the pulling part. The letting go part was implemented earlier already. With this in place, we can now finally start guests that do not randomly stall and stop to work at random times. This patch implements above logic for Book3S. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Before I incorrectly enabled napping also for BookE, which would result in needless dcache flushes. Since we only need to force enable napping on Book3s_64 because it doesn't go into MSR_POW otherwise, we can just #ifdef that code to this particular platform.

On Book3S a mtmsr with the MSR_POW bit set indicates that the OS is in idle and only needs to be waked up on the next interrupt. Now, unfortunately we let that bit slip into the stored MSR value which is not what the real CPU does, so that we ended up executing code like this: r = mfmsr(); /* r containts MSR_POW */ mtmsr(r | MSR_EE); This obviously breaks, as we're going into idle mode in code sections that don't expect to be idling. This patch masks MSR_POW out of the stored MSR value on wakeup, making guests happy again. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Up until now we were doing segment mappings wrong on Book3s_32. For Book3s_64 we were using a trick where we know that a single mmu_context gives us 16 bits of context ids. The mm system on Book3s_32 instead uses a clever algorithm to distribute VSIDs across the available range, so a context id really only gives us 16 available VSIDs. To keep at least a few guest processes in the SID shadow, let's map a number of contexts that we can use as VSID pool. This makes the code be actually correct and shouldn't hurt performance too much.

There are some heuristics in the PPC power management code that try to find out if the particular hardware we're running on supports proper power management or just hangs the machine when going into nap mode. Since we know that KVM is safe with nap, let's force enable it in the PV code once we're certain that we are on a KVM VM. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

We had an arbitrary limitation in mtmsrd L=1 that kept us from using r30 and r31 as input registers. Let's get rid of that and get more potential speedups! Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

When having a decrementor interrupt pending, the dequeuing happens manually through an mtdec instruction. This instruction simply calls dequeue on that interrupt, so the int_pending hint doesn't get updated. This patch enables updating the int_pending hint also on dequeue, thus correctly enabling guests to stay in guest contexts more often. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

So far we've been restricting ourselves to r0-r29 as registers an mtmsr instruction could use. This was bad, as there are some code paths in Linux actually using r30. So let's instead handle all registers gracefully and get rid of that stupid limitation Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This is the guest side of the mtsr acceleration. Using this a guest can now call mtsrin with almost no overhead as long as it ensures that it only uses it with (MSR_IR|MSR_DR) == 0. Linux does that, so we're good. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Now that the actual mtsr doesn't do anything anymore, we can move the sr contents over to the shared page, so a guest can directly read and write its sr contents from guest context. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Right now we're examining the contents of Book3s_32's segment registers when the register is written and put the interpreted contents into a struct. There are two reasons this is bad. For starters, the struct has worse real-time performance, as it occupies more ram. But the more important part is that with segment registers being interpreted from their raw values, we can put them in the shared page, allowing guests to mess with them directly. This patch makes the internal representation of SRs be u32s. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

When hitting a no-execute or read-only data/inst storage interrupt we were flushing the respective PTE so we're sure it gets properly overwritten next. According to the spec, this is unnecessary though. The guest issues a tlbie anyways, so we're safe to just keep the PTE around and have it manually removed from the guest, saving us a flush.
