Currently cpu.h contains a number of definitions relating to the 64-bit
hash MMU. Some are used in the MMU emulation code, but some are only used
in the spapr MMU management hcall implementations.
This patch moves these definitions (except for a few that are needed
more widely) into mmu-hash64.h header, shared between the MMU emulation
code and the spapr hcall code. The MMU emulation code is also updated to
actually use a number of those definitions in place of hard coded
constants.
Similarly, we add new analogous definitions to mmu-hash32.h and use those
in place of many hard-coded constants in mmu-hash32.c

target-ppc/kvm.c has an #ifdef on CONFIG_PSERIES, for the handling of
KVM exits due to a PAPR hypercall from the guest. However, since commit
e4c8b28cde12d01ada8fe869567dc5717a2dfcb7 "ppc: express FDT dependency of
pSeries and e500 boards via default-configs/", this hasn't worked properly.
That patch altered the configuration setup so that although CONFIG_PSERIES
is visible from the Makefiles, it is not visible from C files. This broke
the pseries machine when KVM is in use.
This patch makes a quick and dirty fix, by removing the CONFIG_PSERIES
dependency, replacing it with TARGET_PPC64 (since removing it entirely
leads to type mismatch errors). Technically this breaks the build when
configured with --disable-fdt, since that disables CONFIG_PSERIES on
TARGET_PPC64. However, it turns out the build was already broken in that
case, so this fixes pseries kvm without breaking anything extra. I'm
looking into how to fix that build breakage, but I don't think that need
delay applying this patch.

This avoids assigning individual class fields and contributors
forgetting to add field assignments in KVM-only code.
ppc_cpu_class_find_by_pvr() requires the CPU model classes to be
registered, so defer host CPU type registration to kvm_arch_init().
Only register the host CPU type if there is a class with matching PVR.
This lets us drop error handling from instance_init.

Currently qemu does not get and put the state of the floating point and

as possibly being problematic for debugging of FP-using guests.

Currently when runing under KVM on ppc, we synchronize a certain number of
vital SPRs to KVM through the SET_SREGS call. This leaves out quite a lot
of important SPRs which are maintained in KVM. It would be helpful to
have their contents in qemu for debugging purposes, and when we implement
migration it will be vital, since they include important guest state that
will need to be restored on the target.
This patch sets up for synchronization of any registers supported by the
KVM ONE_REG calls. A new variant on spr_register() allows a ONE_REG id to
be stored with the SPR information. When we set/get information to KVM
we also synchronize any SPRs so registered.
For now we set this mechanism up to synchronize a handful of important
registers that already have ONE_REG IDs, notably the DAR and DSISR.

The kvmppc_reset_htab() function invokes the KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB vm ioctl
to request KVM to allocate and reset a hash page table for the guest - it
returns the size of hash table allocated, or 0 to indicate that qemu needs
to allocate the hash table itself. In practice qemu needs to allocate the
htab for full emulation and with Book3sPR KVM, but the kernel has to
allocate it for Book3sHV KVM (the hash table needs to be physically
contiguous in that case).
Unfortunately, the logic in this function is incorrect for some existing
kernels. Specifically:
* at least some PR KVM versions advertise the relevant capability but
don't actually implement the ioctl(), returning ENOTTY.
* For old kernels which don't have the capability, we currently return 0.
This is correct for PV KVM, where we need to allocate the htab, but not for
HV KVM - kernels of this era always allocate a 16MB hash table per guest.
This patch corrects both of these edge cases.

This adds support for then new "reset htab" ioctl which allows qemu
to properly cleanup the MMU hash table when the guest is reset. With
the corresponding kernel support, reset of a guest now works properly.
This also paves the way for indicating a different size hash table
to the kernel and for the kernel to be able to impose limits on
the requested size.

At least when invoked with high enough 'level' arguments,
kvm_arch_put_registers() is supposed to copy essentially all the cpu state
as encoded in qemu's internal structures into the kvm state. Currently
the ppc version does not do this - it never calls KVM_SET_SREGS, for
example, and therefore never sets the SDR1 and various other important
though rarely changed registers.
Instead, the code paths which need to set these registers need to
explicitly make (conditional) kvm calls which transfer the changes to kvm.
This breaks the usual model of handling state updates in qemu, where code
just changes the internal model and has it flushed out to kvm automatically
at some later point.
This patch fixes this for Book S ppc CPUs by adding a suitable call to
KVM_SET_SREGS and als to KVM_SET_ONE_REG to set the HIOR (the only register
that is set with that call so far). This lets us remove the hacks to
explicitly set these registers from the kvmppc_set_papr() function.
The problem still exists for Book E CPUs (which use a different version of
the kvm_sregs structure). But fixing that has some complications of its
own so can be left to another day.
Lkewise, there is still some ugly code for setting the PVR through special
calls to SET_SREGS which is left in for now. The PVR needs to be set
especially early because it can affect what other features are available
on the CPU, so I need to do more thinking to see if it can be integrated
into the normal paths or not.

Currently for powerpc, kvm_arch_handle_exit() always returns 1, meaning
that its caller - kvm_cpu_exec() - will always exit immediately afterwards
to the loop in qemu_kvm_cpu_thread_fn().
There's no need to do this. Once we've handled the hypercall there's no
reason we can't go straight around and KVM_RUN again, which is what ret = 0
will signal. The only exception might be for hypercalls which affect the
state of cpu_can_run(), however the only one that might do this is H_CEDE
and for kvm that is always handled in the kernel, not qemu.
Furtherm setting ret = 0 means that when exit_requested is set from a
hypercall, we will enter KVM_RUN once more with a signal which lets the
the kernel do its internal logic to complete the hypercall with out
actually executing any more guest code. This is important if our hypercall
also triggered a reset, which previously would re-initialize everything
without completing the hypercall. This caused the kernel to get confused
because it thought the guest was still in the middle of a hypercall when
it has actually been reset.
This patch therefore changes to ret = 0, which is both a bugfix and a small
optimization.

The pseries platform already contains an IOMMU implementation, since it is
essential for the platform's paravirtualized VIO devices. This IOMMU
support is currently built into the implementation of the VIO "bus" and
the various VIO devices.
This patch converts this code to make use of the new common IOMMU
infrastructure.
We don't yet handle synchronization of map/unmap callbacks vs. invalidations,
this will require some complex interaction with the kernel and is not a
major concern at this stage.

More recent Power server chips (i.e. based on the 64 bit hash MMU)
support more than just the traditional 4k and 16M page sizes. This
can get quite complicated, because which page sizes are supported,
which combinations are supported within an MMU segment and how these
page sizes are encoded both in the SLB entry and the hash PTE can vary
depending on the CPU model (they are not specified by the
architecture). In addition the firmware or hypervisor may not permit
use of certain page sizes, for various reasons. Whether various page
sizes are supported on KVM, for example, depends on whether the PR or
HV variant of KVM is in use, and on the page size of the memory
backing the guest's RAM.
This patch adds information to the CPUState and cpu defs to describe
the supported page sizes and encodings. Since TCG does not yet
support any extended page sizes, we just set this to NULL in the
static CPU definitions, expanding this to the default 4k and 16M page
sizes when we initialize the cpu state. When using KVM, however, we
instead determine available page sizes using the new
KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO call. For old kernels without that call, we use
some defaults, with some guesswork which should do the right thing for
existing HV and PR implementations. The fallback might not be correct
for future versions, but that's ok, because they'll have
KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO.

On target-ppc, our table of CPU types and features encodes the features as
found on the hardware, regardless of whether these features are actually
usable under TCG or KVM. We already have cases where the information from
the cpu table must be fixed up to account for limitations in the emulation
method we're using. e.g. TCG does not support the DFP and VSX instructions
and KVM needs different numbering of the CPUs in order to tell it the
correct thread to core mappings.
This patch cleans up these hacks to handle emulation limitations by
consolidating them into a pair of functions specifically for the purpose.

For the pseries machine, TCE (IOMMU) tables can either be directly
malloc()ed in qemu or, when running on a KVM which supports it, mmap()ed
from a KVM ioctl. The latter option is used when available, because it
allows the (frequent bottlenext) H_PUT_TCE hypercall to be KVM accelerated.
However, even when KVM is persent, TCE acceleration is not always possible.
Only KVM HV supports this ioctl(), not KVM PR, or the kernel could run out
of contiguous memory to allocate the new table. In this case we need to
fall back on the malloc()ed table.
When a device is removed, and we need to remove the TCE table, we need to
either munmap() or free() the table as appropriate for how it was
allocated. The code is supposed to do that, but we buggily fail to
initialize the tcet->fd variable in the malloc() case, which is used as a
flag to determine which is the right choice.
This patch fixes the bug, and cleans up error messages relating to this
path while we're at it.

Unfortunately the HIOR setting code slipped into upstream QEMU
before it was pulled into upstream KVM. And since Murphy is always
right, comments on the patches only emerged on the pull request
leading to changes in the interface.
So here's an update to the HIOR setting. While at it, I also relaxed
it a bit since for HV KVM we can already run fine without and 3.2
works just fine with HV KVM but when not setting HIOR. We will only
need this when running PAPR in PR KVM.
Since we accidently changed the ABI and API along the way, we have
to update the underlying kernel headers together with the code that

Sufficiently recent kernels include a KVM call to accelerate use of
PAPR TCE tables (IOMMU), which are used by PAPR virtual IO devices.
This involves qemu mapping the TCE table in from a kernel obtained fd,
which currently we do with PROT_READ only. This is a hangover from
early (never released) versions of this kernel interface which only
permitted read-only mappings and required us to destroy and recreate
the table when we needed to clear it from qemu.
Now, the kernel permits read-write mappings, and we rely on this to
clear the table in spapr_vio_quiesce_one(). However, due to
insufficient testing, I forgot to update the actual mapping of the
table in kvmppc_create_spapr_tce() to add PROT_WRITE to the mmap().
This patch corrects the oversight.

Currently, when KVM is enabled, the pseries machine checks if the host
CPU supports VMX, VSX and/or DFP instructions and advertises
accordingly in the guest device tree. It does this regardless of what
CPU is selected on the command line. On the other hand, when in TCG
mode, it never advertises any of these facilities, even basic VMX
(Altivec) which is supported in TCG.
Now that we have a -cpu host option for ppc, it is fairly
straightforward to fix both problems. This patch changes the -cpu
host code to override the basic cpu spec derived from the PVR with
information queried from the host avout VMX, VSX and DFP capability.
The pseries code then uses the instruction availability advertised in
the cpu state to set the guest device tree correctly for both the KVM
and TCG cases.

For convenience with kvm, x86 allows the user to specify -cpu host on the
qemu command line, which means make the guest cpu the same as the host
cpu. This patch implements the same option for ppc targets.
For now, this just read the host PVR (Processor Version Register) and
selects one of our existing CPU specs based on it. This means that the
option will not work if the host cpu is not supported by TCG, even if that
wouldn't matter for use under kvm.
In future, we can extend this in future to override parts of the cpu spec
based on information obtained from the host (via /proc/cpuinfo, the host
device tree, or explicit KVM calls). That will let us handle cases where
the real kvm-virtualized CPU doesn't behave exactly like the TCG-emulated
CPU. With appropriate annotation of the CPU specs we'll also then be able
to use host cpus under kvm even when there isn't a matching full TCG model.

Sufficiently recent PAPR specifications define properties "ibm,vmx"
and "ibm,dfp" on the CPU node which advertise whether the VMX vector
extensions (or the later VSX version) and/or the Decimal Floating
Point operations from IBM's recent POWER CPUs are available.
Currently we do not put these in the guest device tree and the guest
kernel will consequently assume they are not available. This is good,
because they are not supported under TCG. VMX is similar enough to
Altivec that it might be trivial to support, but VSX and DFP would
both require significant work to support in TCG.
However, when running under kvm on a host which supports these
instructions, there's no reason not to let the guest use them. This
patch, therefore, checks for the relevant support on the host CPU
and, if present, advertises them to the guest as well.

The pseries machine of qemu implements the TCE mechanism used as a
virtual IOMMU for the PAPR defined virtual IO devices. Because the
PAPR spec only defines a small DMA address space, the guest VIO
drivers need to update TCE mappings very frequently - the virtual
network device is particularly bad. This means many slow exits to
qemu to emulate the H_PUT_TCE hypercall.
Sufficiently recent kernels allow this to be mitigated by implementing
H_PUT_TCE in the host kernel. To make use of this, however, qemu
needs to initialize the necessary TCE tables, and map them into itself
so that the VIO device implementations can retrieve the mappings when
they access guest memory (which is treated as a virtual DMA
operation).
This patch adds the necessary calls to use the KVM TCE acceleration.
If the kernel does not support acceleration, or there is some other
error creating the accelerated TCE table, then it will still fall back
to full userspace TCE implementation.

At present, using the hypervisor aware Book3S-HV KVM will only work
with qemu on POWER7 CPUs. PPC970 CPUs also have hypervisor
capability, but they lack the VRMA feature which makes assigning guest
memory easier.
In order to allow KVM Book3S-HV on PPC970, we need to specially
allocate the first chunk of guest memory (the "Real Mode Area" or
RMA), so that it is physically contiguous.
Sufficiently recent host kernels allow such contiguous RMAs to be
allocated, with a kvm capability advertising whether the feature is
available and/or necessary on this hardware. This patch enables qemu
to use this support, thus allowing kvm acceleration of pseries qemu

very close to also working with KVM Book3S-HV (using the hypervisor
capabilities of recent POWER CPUs).
This patch moves us another step towards Book3S-HV support by
correctly handling SMT (multithreaded) POWER CPUs. There are two
parts to this:
* Querying KVM to check SMT capability, and if present, adjusting the
cpu numbers that qemu assigns to cause KVM to assign guest threads
to cores in the right way (this isn't automatic, because the POWER
HV support has a limitation that different threads on a single core
cannot be in different guests at the same time).
* Correctly informing the guest OS of the SMT thread to core mappings
via the device tree.

When running with PR KVM, we need to set HIOR directly. Thankfully there
is now a new interface to set registers individually so we can just use that
and poke HIOR into the guest vcpu's HIOR register.
While at it, this also sets SDR1 because -M pseries requires it to run.
With this patch, -M pseries works properly with PR KVM.

Share the TLB array with KVM. This allows us to set the initial TLB
both on initial boot and reset, is useful for debugging, and could
eventually be used to support migration.
