2011-07-30exec.h cleanupBlue Swirl
Move softmmu_exec.h include directives from target-*/exec.h to target-*/op_helper.c. Move also various other stuff only used in op_helper.c there. Define global env in dyngen-exec.h. For i386, move wrappers for segment and FPU helpers from user-exec.c to op_helper.c. Implement raise_exception_err_env() to handle dynamic CPUState. Move the function declarations to cpu.h since they can be used outside of op_helper.c context. LM32, s390x, UniCore32: remove unused cpu_halted(), regs_to_env() and env_to_regs(). ARM: make raise_exception() static. Convert #include "exec.h" to #include "cpu.h" #include "dyngen-exec.h" and remove now unused target-*/exec.h. Signed-off-by: Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com>

2011-05-20pSeries: Clean up write-only variablesDavid Gibson
A few pieces of the pSeries emulation code have variables which are set but never used, which causes warnings on gcc 4.6. This patch removes these instances. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2011-05-10Fix off-by-one error in sizing pSeries hcall tableDavid Gibson
The pSeries machine uses two tables to look up guest hcalls for emulation. One of these is exactly one entry too small to hold all the hcalls it needs to, leading to memory corruption. This patch fixes the bug, and while we're at it, make both tables 'static' since they're never used from other modules.

2011-04-01Implement PAPR VPA functions for pSeries shared processor partitionsDavid Gibson
Shared-processor partitions are those where a CPU is time-sliced between partitions, rather than being permanently dedicated to a single partition. qemu emulated partitions, since they are just scheduled with the qemu user process, behave mostly like shared processor partitions. In order to better support shared processor partitions (splpar), PAPR defines the "VPA" (Virtual Processor Area), a shared memory communication channel between the hypervisor and partitions. There are also two additional shared memory communication areas for specialized purposes associated with the VPA. A VPA is not essential for operating an splpar, though it can be necessary for obtaining accurate performance measurements in the presence of runtime partition switching. Most importantly, however, the VPA is a prerequisite for PAPR's H_CEDE, hypercall, which allows a partition OS to give up it's shared processor timeslices to other partitions when idle. This patch implements the VPA and H_CEDE hypercalls in qemu. We don't implement any of the more advanced statistics which can be communicated through the VPA. However, this is enough to make normal pSeries kernels do an effective power-save idle on an emulated pSeries, significantly reducing the host load of a qemu emulated pSeries running an idle guest OS.

2011-04-01Implement assorted pSeries hcalls and RTAS methodsDavid Gibson
This patch adds several small utility hypercalls and RTAS methods to the pSeries platform emulation. Specifically: * 'display-character' rtas call This just prints a character to the console, it's occasionally used for early debug of the OS. The support includes a hack to make this RTAS call respond on the normal token value present on real hardware, since some early debugging tools just assume this value without checking the device tree. * 'get-time-of-day' rtas call This one just takes the host real time, converts to the PAPR described format and returns it to the guest. * 'power-off' rtas call This one shuts down the emulated system. * H_DABR hypercall On pSeries, the DABR debug register is usually a hypervisor resource and virtualized through this hypercall. If the hypercall is not present, Linux will under some circumstances attempt to manipulate the DABR directly which will fail on this emulated machine. This stub implementation is enough to stop that behaviour, although it doesn't actually implement the requested DABR operations as yet.

2011-04-01Implement hcall based RTAS for pSeries machinesDavid Gibson
On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-Time Abstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implements a number of low-level, infrequently used operations. On logical partitions under a hypervisor, many of the RTAS functions require hypervisor privilege. For simplicity, therefore, hypervisor systems typically implement the in-partition RTAS as just a tiny wrapper around a hypercall which actually implements the various RTAS functions. This patch implements such a hypercall based RTAS for our emulated pSeries machine. A tiny in-partition "firmware" calls a new hypercall, which looks up available RTAS services in a table.

2011-04-01Virtual hash page table handling on pSeries machineDavid Gibson
On pSeries logical partitions, excepting the old POWER4-style full system partitions, the guest does not have direct access to the hardware page table. Instead, the pagetable exists in hypervisor memory, and the guest must manipulate it with hypercalls. However, our current pSeries emulation more closely resembles the old style where the guest must set up and handle the pagetables itself. This patch converts it to act like a modern partition. This involves two things: first, the hash translation path is modified to permit the has table to be stored externally to the emulated machine's RAM. The pSeries machine init code configures the CPUs to use this mode. Secondly, we emulate the PAPR hypercalls for manipulating the external hashed page table.

2011-04-01Start implementing pSeries logical partition machineDavid Gibson
This patch adds a "pseries" machine to qemu. This aims to emulate a logical partition on an IBM pSeries machine, compliant to the "PowerPC Architecture Platform Requirements" (PAPR) document. This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine and PAPR hypercall emulation. So far only one hypercall is present - H_PUT_TERM_CHAR - so that a (write-only) console is available. Multiple CPUs are permitted, with SMP entry handled kexec() style. The machine so far more resembles an old POWER4 style "full system partition" rather than a modern LPAR, in that the guest manages the page tables directly, rather than via hypercalls. The machine requires qemu to be configured with --enable-fdt. The machine can (so far) only be booted with -kernel - i.e. no partition firmware is provided.
