This moves the prototypes for functions that are only called from
assembler code out of asm/asm-prototypes.h into asm/kvm_ppc.h.
The prototypes were added in commit ebe4535fbe ("KVM: PPC:
Book3S HV: sparse: prototypes for functions called from assembler",
2016-10-10), but given that the functions are KVM functions,
having them in a KVM header will be better for long-term
maintenance.

PPC KVM update for 4.10:
* Support for KVM guests on POWER9 using the hashed page table MMU.
* Updates and improvements to the halt-polling support on PPC, from
Suraj Jitindar Singh.
* An optimization to speed up emulated MMIO, from Yongji Xie.
* Various other minor cleanups.
KVM: s390: Changes for 4.10 (via kvm/next)
Two small optimizations to not do register reloading in
vcpu_put/get, instead do it in the ioctl path. This reduces
the overhead for schedule-intense workload that does not
exit to QEMU. (e.g. KVM guest with eventfd/irqfd that
does a lot of context switching with vhost or iothreads).
There is currently no documentation about the halt polling capabilities
of the kvm module. Add some documentation describing the mechanism as well
as the module parameters to all better understanding of how halt polling
should be used and the effect of tuning the module parameters.

KVM_HALT_POLL_NS_DEFAULT is an arch specific constant which sets the
default value of the halt_poll_ns kvm module parameter which determines
the global maximum halt polling interval.
The current value for powerpc is 500000 (500us) which means that any
repetitive workload with a period of less than that can drive the cpu
usage to 100% where it may have been mostly idle without halt polling.
This presents the possibility of a large increase in power usage with
a comparatively small performance benefit.
Reduce the default to 10000 (10us) and a user can tune this themselves
to set their affinity for halt polling based on the trade off between power
and performance which they are willing to make.

The kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns defines the global maximum halt
polling interval and can be dynamically changed by writing to the
/sys/module/kvm/parameters/halt_poll_ns sysfs file. However in kvm-hv
this module parameter value is only ever checked when we grow the current
polling interval for the given vcore. This means that if we decrease the
halt_poll_ns value below the current polling interval we won't see any
effect unless we try to grow the polling interval above the new max at some
point or it happens to be shrunk below the halt_poll_ns value.
Update the halt polling code so that we always check for a new module param
value of halt_poll_ns and set the current halt polling interval to it if
it's currently greater than the new max. This means that it's redundant to
also perform this check in the grow_halt_poll_ns() function now.

The previous patch exported the variables which back the module parameters
of the generic kvm module. Now use these variables in the kvm-hv module
so that any change to the generic module parameters will also have the
same effect for the kvm-hv module. This removes the duplication of the
kvm module parameters which was redundant and should reduce confusion when
tuning them.

The kvm module has the parameters halt_poll_ns, halt_poll_ns_grow, and
halt_poll_ns_shrink. Halt polling was recently added to the powerpc kvm-hv
module and these parameters were essentially duplicated for that. There is
no benefit to this duplication and it can lead to confusion when trying to
tune halt polling.
Thus move the definition of these variables to kvm_host.h and export them.
This will allow the kvm-hv module to use the same module parameters by
accessing these variables, which will be implemented in the next patch,
meaning that they will no longer be duplicated.

AMD hardware adds two additional bits to aid in nested page fault handling.
Bit 32 - NPF occurred while translating the guest's final physical address
Bit 33 - NPF occurred while translating the guest page tables
The guest page tables fault indicator can be used as an aid for nested
virtualization. Using V0 for the host, V1 for the first level guest and
V2 for the second level guest, when both V1 and V2 are using nested paging
there are currently a number of unnecessary instruction emulations. When
V2 is launched shadow paging is used in V1 for the nested tables of V2. As
a result, KVM marks these pages as RO in the host nested page tables. When
V2 exits and we resume V1, these pages are still marked RO.
Every nested walk for a guest page table is treated as a user-level write
access and this causes a lot of NPFs because the V1 page tables are marked
RO in the V0 nested tables. While executing V1, when these NPFs occur KVM
sees a write to a read-only page, emulates the V1 instruction and unprotects
the page (marking it RW). This patch looks for cases where we get a NPF due
to a guest page table walk where the page was marked RO. It immediately
unprotects the page and resumes the guest, leading to far fewer instruction
emulations when nested virtualization is used.

At present KVM on powerpc always reports KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB as enabled.
However, the ioctl() it advertises (KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB) only actually
works on KVM HV. On KVM PR it will fail with ENOTTY.
QEMU already has a workaround for this, so it's not breaking things in
practice, but it would be better to advertise this correctly.

The function kvmppc_set_arch_compat() is used to determine the value of the
processor compatibility register (PCR) for a guest running in a given
compatibility mode. There is currently no support for v3.00 of the ISA.
Add support for v3.00 of the ISA which adds an ISA v2.07 compatilibity mode
to the PCR.
We also add a check to ensure the processor we are running on is capable of
emulating the chosen processor (for example a POWER7 cannot emulate a
POWER8, similarly with a POWER8 and a POWER9).

With POWER9, each CPU thread has its own MMU context and can be
in the host or a guest independently of the other threads; there is
still however a restriction that all threads must use the same type
of address translation, either radix tree or hashed page table (HPT).
Since we only support HPT guests on a HPT host at this point, we
can treat the threads as being independent, and avoid all of the
work of coordinating the CPU threads. To make this simpler, we
introduce a new threads_per_vcore() function that returns 1 on
POWER9 and threads_per_subcore on POWER7/8, and use that instead
of threads_per_subcore or threads_per_core in various places.
This also changes the value of the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability on
POWER9 systems from 4 to 1, so that userspace will not try to
create VMs with multiple vcpus per vcore. (If userspace did create
a VM that thought it was in an SMT mode, the VM might try to use
the msgsndp instruction, which will not work as expected. In
future it may be possible to trap and emulate msgsndp in order to
allow VMs to think they are in an SMT mode, if only for the purpose
of allowing migration from POWER8 systems.)
With all this, we can now run guests on POWER9 as long as the host
is running with HPT translation. Since userspace currently has no
way to request radix tree translation for the guest, the guest has
no choice but to use HPT translation.

The new XIVE interrupt controller on POWER9 can direct external
interrupts to the hypervisor or the guest. The interrupts directed to
the hypervisor are controlled by an LPCR bit called LPCR_HVICE, and
come in as a "hypervisor virtualization interrupt". This sets the
LPCR bit so that hypervisor virtualization interrupts can occur while
we are in the guest. We then also need to cope with exiting the guest
because of a hypervisor virtualization interrupt.

POWER9 replaces the various power-saving mode instructions on POWER8
(doze, nap, sleep and rvwinkle) with a single "stop" instruction, plus
a register, PSSCR, which controls the depth of the power-saving mode.
This replaces the use of the nap instruction when threads are idle
during guest execution with the stop instruction, and adds code to
set PSSCR to a value which will allow an SMT mode switch while the
thread is idle (given that the core as a whole won't be idle in these
cases).

POWER9 includes a new interrupt controller, called XIVE, which is
quite different from the XICS interrupt controller on POWER7 and
POWER8 machines. KVM-HV accesses the XICS directly in several places
in order to send and clear IPIs and handle interrupts from PCI
devices being passed through to the guest.
In order to make the transition to XIVE easier, OPAL firmware will
include an emulation of XICS on top of XIVE. Access to the emulated
XICS is via OPAL calls. The one complication is that the EOI
(end-of-interrupt) function can now return a value indicating that
another interrupt is pending; in this case, the XIVE will not signal
an interrupt in hardware to the CPU, and software is supposed to
acknowledge the new interrupt without waiting for another interrupt
to be delivered in hardware.
This adapts KVM-HV to use the OPAL calls on machines where there is
no XICS hardware. When there is no XICS, we look for a device-tree
node with "ibm,opal-intc" in its compatible property, which is how
OPAL indicates that it provides XICS emulation.
In order to handle the EOI return value, kvmppc_read_intr() has
become kvmppc_read_one_intr(), with a boolean variable passed by
reference which can be set by the EOI functions to indicate that
another interrupt is pending. The new kvmppc_read_intr() keeps
calling kvmppc_read_one_intr() until there are no more interrupts
to process. The return value from kvmppc_read_intr() is the
largest non-zero value of the returns from kvmppc_read_one_intr().

On POWER9, the msgsnd instruction is able to send interrupts to
other cores, as well as other threads on the local core. Since
msgsnd is generally simpler and faster than sending an IPI via the
XICS, we use msgsnd for all IPIs sent by KVM on POWER9.

POWER9 adds new capabilities to the tlbie (TLB invalidate entry)
and tlbiel (local tlbie) instructions. Both instructions get a
set of new parameters (RIC, PRS and R) which appear as bits in the
instruction word. The tlbiel instruction now has a second register
operand, which contains a PID and/or LPID value if needed, and
should otherwise contain 0.
This adapts KVM-HV's usage of tlbie and tlbiel to work on POWER9
as well as older processors. Since we only handle HPT guests so
far, we need RIC=0 PRS=0 R=0, which ends up with the same instruction
word as on previous processors, so we don't need to conditionally
execute different instructions depending on the processor.
The local flush on first entry to a guest in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S
is a loop which depends on the number of TLB sets. Rather than
using feature sections to set the number of iterations based on
which CPU we're on, we now work out this number at VM creation time
and store it in the kvm_arch struct. That will make it possible to
get the number from the device tree in future, which will help with
compatibility with future processors.
Since mmu_partition_table_set_entry() does a global flush of the
whole LPID, we don't need to do the TLB flush on first entry to the
guest on each processor. Therefore we don't set all bits in the
tlb_need_flush bitmap on VM startup on POWER9.

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.

Some special-purpose registers that were present and accessible
by guests on POWER8 no longer exist on POWER9, so this adds
feature sections to ensure that we don't try to context-switch

context-switch them on POWER8 to avoid creating a covert channel.
They are: SPMC1, SPMC2, MMCRS, CSIGR, TACR, TCSCR, and ACOP.

On POWER9, the SDR1 register (hashed page table base address) is no
longer used, and instead the hardware reads the HPT base address
and size from the partition table. The partition table entry also
contains the bits that specify the page size for the VRMA mapping,
which were previously in the LPCR. The VPM0 bit of the LPCR is
now reserved; the processor now always uses the VRMA (virtual
real-mode area) mechanism for guest real-mode accesses in HPT mode,
and the RMO (real-mode offset) mechanism has been dropped.
When entering or exiting the guest, we now only have to set the
LPIDR (logical partition ID register), not the SDR1 register.
There is also no requirement now to transition via a reserved
LPID value.

This adapts the KVM-HV hashed page table (HPT) code to read and write
HPT entries in the new format defined in Power ISA v3.00 on POWER9
machines. The new format moves the B (segment size) field from the
first doubleword to the second, and trims some bits from the AVA
(abbreviated virtual address) and ARPN (abbreviated real page number)
fields. As far as possible, the conversion is done when reading or
writing the HPT entries, and the rest of the code continues to use
the old format.
