The purpose of the KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK API is to let userspace "kick"
a VCPU out of KVM_RUN through a POSIX signal. A signal is attached
to a dummy signal handler; by blocking the signal outside KVM_RUN and
unblocking it inside, this possible race is closed:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
check flag
set flag
raise signal
(signal handler does nothing)
KVM_RUN
However, one issue with KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK is that it has to take
tsk->sighand->siglock on every KVM_RUN. This lock is often on a
remote NUMA node, because it is on the node of a thread's creator.
Taking this lock can be very expensive if there are many userspace
exits (as is the case for SMP Windows VMs without Hyper-V reference
time counter).
As an alternative, we can put the flag directly in kvm_run so that
KVM can see it:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
raise signal
signal handler
set run->immediate_exit
KVM_RUN
check run->immediate_exit

KVM: MIPS: GVA/GPA page tables, dirty logging, SYNC_MMU etc
Numerous MIPS KVM fixes, improvements, and features for 4.11, many of
which continue to pave the way for VZ support, the most interesting of
which are:
- Add GVA->HPA page tables for T&E, to cache GVA mappings.
- Generate fast-path TLB refill exception handler which loads host TLB
entries from GVA page table, avoiding repeated guest memory
translation and guest TLB lookups.
- Use uaccess macros when T&E needs to access guest memory, which with
GVA page tables and the Linux TLB refill handler improves robustness
against TLB faults and fixes EVA hosts.
- Use BadInstr/BadInstrP registers when available to obtain instruction
encodings after a synchronous trap.
- Add GPA->HPA page tables to replace the inflexible linear array,
allowing for multiple sparsely arranged memory regions.
- Properly implement dirty page logging.
- Add KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU support so that changes in GPA mappings become
effective in guests even if they are already running, allowing for
copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, and guest memory
ballooning.
- Add KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM support, so writes to specified memory
regions are treated as MMIO.
- Implement proper CP0_EBase support in T&E.
- Expose a few more missing CP0 registers to userland.
- Add KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS and KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS support, and allow up to 8
VCPUs to be created in a VM.
- Various cleanups and dropping of dead and duplicated code.
The big feature this time is support for POWER9 using the radix-tree
MMU for host and guest. This required some changes to arch/powerpc
code, so I talked with Michael Ellerman and he created a topic branch
with this patchset, which I merged into kvm-ppc-next and which Michael
will pull into his tree. Michael also put in some patches from Nick
Piggin which fix bugs in the interrupt vector code in relocatable
kernels when coming from a KVM guest.
Other notable changes include:
* Add the ability to change the size of the hashed page table,
from David Gibson.
* XICS (interrupt controller) emulation fixes and improvements,
from Li Zhong.
* Bug fixes from myself and Thomas Huth.
These patches define some new KVM capabilities and ioctls, but there
should be no conflicts with anything else currently upstream, as far
as I am aware.
Add a hypercall to retrieve the host realtime clock and the TSC value
used to calculate that clock read.
Used to implement clock synchronization between host and guest.

Expose the CP0_IntCtl register through the KVM register access API,
which is a required register since MIPS32r2. It is currently read-only
since the VS field isn't implemented due to lack of Config3.VInt or
Config3.VEIC.
It is implemented in trap_emul.c so that a VZ implementation can allow
writes.

Expose the CP0_EntryLo0 and CP0_EntryLo1 registers through the KVM
register access API. This is fairly straightforward for trap & emulate
since we don't support the RI and XI bits. For the sake of future
proofing (particularly for VZ) it is explicitly specified that the API
always exposes the 64-bit version of these registers (i.e. with the RI
and XI bits in bit positions 63 and 62 respectively), and they are
implemented in trap_emul.c rather than mips.c to allow them to be
implemented differently for VZ.

The CP0_EBase register is a standard feature of MIPS32r2, so we should
always have been implementing it properly. However the register value
was ignored and wasn't exposed to userland.
Fix the emulation of exceptions and interrupts to use the value stored
in guest CP0_EBase, and fix the masks so that the top 3 bits (rather
than the standard 2) are fixed, so that it is always in the guest KSeg0
segment.
Also add CP0_EBASE to the KVM one_reg interface so it can be accessed by
userland, also allowing the CPU number field to be written (which isn't
permitted by the guest).

The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() is used to set the size of hashed page
table (HPT) that userspace expects a guest VM to have, and is also used to
clear that HPT when necessary (e.g. guest reboot).
At present, once the ioctl() is called for the first time, the HPT size can
never be changed thereafter - it will be cleared but always sized as from
the first call.
With upcoming HPT resize implementation, we're going to need to allow
userspace to resize the HPT at reset (to change it back to the default size
if the guest changed it).
So, we need to allow this ioctl() to change the HPT size.
This patch also updates Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt to reflect
the new behaviour. In fact the documentation was already slightly
incorrect since 572abd5 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't fall back to
smaller HPT size in allocation ioctl"

This adds a new powerpc-specific KVM_CAP_SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT capability to
advertise whether KVM is capable of handling the PAPR extensions for
resizing the hashed page table during guest runtime. It also adds
definitions for two new VM ioctl()s to implement this extension, and
documentation of the same.
Note that, HPT resizing is already possible with KVM PR without kernel
modification, since the HPT is managed within userspace (qemu). The
capability defined here will only be set where an in-kernel implementation
of resizing is necessary, i.e. for KVM HV. To determine if the userspace
resize implementation can be used, it's necessary to check
KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB. Unfortunately older kernels incorrectly set
KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB even with KVM PR. If userspace it want to support
resizing with KVM PR on such kernels, it will need a workaround.

This merges in the POWER9 radix MMU host and guest support, which
was put into a topic branch because it touches both powerpc and
KVM code.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to
find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest. The two
capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using
the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a
process table and segment tables. (Note that the MMUs in the
POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables
when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does).
The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify
whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to
specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process
table.
The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about
the radix MMU. It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries
(base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the
radix tree) and the encoding used to specify the various page
sizes for the TLB invalidate entry instruction.
Initially, both capabilities return 0 and the ioctls return -EINVAL,
until the necessary infrastructure for them to operate correctly
is added.

This adds code to handle two new guest-accessible special-purpose
registers on POWER9: TIDR (thread ID register) and PSSCR (processor
stop status and control register). They are context-switched
between host and guest, and the guest values can be read and set
via the one_reg interface.
The PSSCR contains some fields which are guest-accessible and some
which are only accessible in hypervisor mode. We only allow the
guest-accessible fields to be read or set by userspace.
