* powerpc: Move kdump default base address to half RMO size on 64bitAnton Blanchard2011-08-051-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are seeing boot failures on some very large boxes even with commit b5416ca9f824 (powerpc: Move kdump default base address to 64MB on 64bit). This patch halves the RMO so both kernels get about the same amount of RMO memory. On large machines this region will be at least 256MB, so each kernel will get 128MB. We cap it at 256MB (small SLB size) since some early allocations need to be in the bolted SLB region. We could relax this on machines with 1TB SLBs in a future patch.

It turns out the jump_table section is only aligned to 8 bytes but we are aligning our entries within the section to 16 bytes. This means our entries are offset from the table: c000000000acd4a8 <__start___jump_table>: ... c000000000ad0a10: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0) c000000000ad0a14: 00 70 cd 5c .long 0x70cd5c c000000000ad0a18: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0) c000000000ad0a1c: 00 70 cd 90 .long 0x70cd90 c000000000ad0a20: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0) c000000000ad0a24: 00 ac a4 20 .long 0xaca420 And the jump table sort code gets very confused and writes into the wrong spot.

* powerpc: mtspr/mtmsr should take an unsigned longScott Wood2011-08-051-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a cast in case the caller passes in a different type, as it would if mtspr/mtmsr were functions. Previously, if a 64-bit type was passed in on 32-bit, GCC would bind the constraint to a pair of registers, and would substitute the first register in the pair in the asm code. This corresponds to the upper half of the 64-bit register, which is generally not the desired behavior.

However, this is really just a transport to the service processor which implements them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as "hvsi" serial ports. The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it. We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend (/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver (/dev/hvsi0). However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro) confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP. This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used in "raw" mode so that: - It now supports HVSI as well - We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set} - It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface. In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits over our current situation: - The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past - The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only supported for the "raw" mode). I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though: - I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set - Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon detecting a up->down transition on CD. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

If on top of that we do a full table walk, we get rid of all recursive TLB faults, and can dispense with some state saving. This gains a few percent on TLB-miss-heavy workloads, and around 50% on a benchmark that had a high rate of virtual page table faults under the normal handler. While touching the EX_TLB layout, remove EX_TLB_MMUCR0, EX_TLB_SRR0, and EX_TLB_SRR1 as they're not used.

Unfortunately, Apple G5 machines have supervisor mode disabled (MSR[HV] is forced to 1), but the YDL PowerStation does have a usable hypervisor mode. There are several differences between the PPC970 and POWER7 in how guests are managed. These differences are accommodated using the CPU_FTR_ARCH_201 (PPC970) and CPU_FTR_ARCH_206 (POWER7) CPU feature bits. Notably, on PPC970: * The LPCR, LPID or RMOR registers don't exist, and the functions of those registers are provided by bits in HID4 and one bit in HID0. * External interrupts can be directed to the hypervisor, but unlike POWER7 they are masked by MSR[EE] in non-hypervisor modes and use SRR0/1 not HSRR0/1. * There is no virtual RMA (VRMA) mode; the guest must use an RMO (real mode offset) area. * The TLB entries are not tagged with the LPID, so it is necessary to flush the whole TLB on partition switch. Furthermore, when switching partitions we have to ensure that no other CPU is executing the tlbie or tlbsync instructions in either the old or the new partition, otherwise undefined behaviour can occur. * The PMU has 8 counters (PMC registers) rather than 6. * The DSCR, PURR, SPURR, AMR, AMOR, UAMOR registers don't exist. * The SLB has 64 entries rather than 32. * There is no mediated external interrupt facility, so if we switch to a guest that has a virtual external interrupt pending but the guest has MSR[EE] = 0, we have to arrange to have an interrupt pending for it so that we can get control back once it re-enables interrupts. We do that by sending ourselves an IPI with smp_send_reschedule after hard-disabling interrupts. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

We also add another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01 and set that for PPC970 and derivatives. Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1 bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that hypervisor mode is not useful. Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206) The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the provided mask are set. Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

These processors require a physically contiguous, aligned area of memory for each guest. When the guest does an access in real mode (MMU off), the address is compared against a limit value, and if it is lower, the address is ORed with an offset value (from the Real Mode Offset Register (RMOR)) and the result becomes the real address for the access. The size of the RMA has to be one of a set of supported values, which usually includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB and some larger powers of 2. Since we are unlikely to be able to allocate 64MB or more of physically contiguous memory after the kernel has been running for a while, we allocate a pool of RMAs at boot time using the bootmem allocator. The size and number of the RMAs can be set using the kvm_rma_size=xx and kvm_rma_count=xx kernel command line options. KVM exports a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA, to signal the availability of the pool of preallocated RMAs. The capability value is 1 if the processor can use an RMA but doesn't require one (because it supports the VRMA facility), or 2 if the processor requires an RMA for each guest. This adds a new ioctl, KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA, which allocates an RMA from the pool and returns a file descriptor which can be used to map the RMA. It also returns the size of the RMA in the argument structure. Having an RMA means we will get multiple KMV_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl calls from userspace. To cope with this, we now preallocate the kvm->arch.ram_pginfo array when the VM is created with a size sufficient for up to 64GB of guest memory. Subsequently we will get rid of this array and use memory associated with each memslot instead. This moves most of the code that translates the user addresses into host pfns (page frame numbers) out of kvmppc_prepare_vrma up one level to kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region. Also, instead of having to look up the VMA for each page in order to check the page size, we now check that the pages we get are compound pages of 16MB. However, if we are adding memory that is mapped to an RMA, we don't bother with calling get_user_pages_fast and instead just offset from the base pfn for the RMA. Typically the RMA gets added after vcpus are created, which makes it inconvenient to have the LPCR (logical partition control register) value in the vcpu->arch struct, since the LPCR controls whether the processor uses RMA or VRMA for the guest. This moves the LPCR value into the kvm->arch struct and arranges for the MER (mediated external request) bit, which is the only bit that varies between vcpus, to be set in assembly code when going into the guest if there is a pending external interrupt request.

The host still has to run single-threaded. This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4. To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined. This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys() for use in the low-level KVM book3s code. When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core. The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core. We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU by the other vcpus. When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu, or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu thread goes from busy in host state to blocked). It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g. because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest. We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it is ready to actually enter the guest. Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are runnable.

H_PUT_TCE is used for updating virtual IOMMU tables, and is used both for virtual I/O and for real I/O in the PAPR interface. Since this moves the IOMMU tables into the kernel, we define a new KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE ioctl to allow qemu to create the tables. The ioctl returns a file descriptor which can be used to mmap the newly created table. The qemu driver models use them in the same way as userspace managed tables, but they can be updated directly by the guest with a real-mode H_PUT_TCE implementation, reducing the number of host/guest context switches during guest IO. There are certain circumstances where it is useful for userland qemu to write to the TCE table even if the kernel H_PUT_TCE path is used most of the time. Specifically, allowing this will avoid awkwardness when we need to reset the table. More importantly, we will in the future need to write the table in order to restore its state after a checkpoint resume or migration.

The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU is off. This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode: H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel: H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA) The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in the module, if KVM is compiled as a module.

| * | | | KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor modePaul Mackerras2011-07-1211-29/+224

Using hypervisor mode means that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor architecture other than the one that the hardware implements. This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code to include/linux/kvm.h. Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support (i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only do one or the other. This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present. Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious restriction. With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry to those exception handlers. We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage, hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist interrupts, so we have to handle those. In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space. We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it. We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers, so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct. The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition (partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction. This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now, since huge pages can't be paged or swapped. This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit. On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able to get to them both with one pointer. On 64-bit they are separate fields in the PACA. This means that on 64-bit we don't need to copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all. That does mean that we have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block or get preempted.
