* KVM: ppc: remove debug support broken by KVM debug rewriteHollis Blanchard2009-03-241-66/+0

* KVM: ppc: save and restore guest mappings on context switchHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch (instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on 440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
* KVM: ppc: directly insert shadow mappings into the hardware TLBHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-11/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry. Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits, at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some guest entries. These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the need to walk arrays in software). In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

* KVM: ppc: create struct kvm_vcpu_44x and introduce container_of() accessorHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-2/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch doesn't yet move all 44x-specific data into the new structure, but is the first step down that path. In the future we may also want to create a struct kvm_vcpu_booke. Based on patch from Liu Yu <yu.liu@freescale.com>. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

* KVM: ppc: Refactor powerpc.c to relocate 440-specific codeHollis Blanchard2008-12-311-0/+123
This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c. Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function pointers would only add overhead.
