KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Keep volatile reg values in vcpu rather than shadow_vcpu Currently PR-style KVM keeps the volatile guest register values (R0 - R13, CR, LR, CTR, XER, PC) in a shadow_vcpu struct rather than the main kvm_vcpu struct. For 64-bit, the shadow_vcpu exists in two places, a kmalloc'd struct and in the PACA, and it gets copied back and forth in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load/put(), because the real-mode code can't rely on being able to access the kmalloc'd struct. This changes the code to copy the volatile values into the shadow_vcpu as one of the last things done before entering the guest. Similarly the values are copied back out of the shadow_vcpu to the kvm_vcpu immediately after exiting the guest. We arrange for interrupts to be still disabled at this point so that we can't get preempted on 64-bit and end up copying values from the wrong PACA. This means that the accessor functions in kvm_book3s.h for these registers are greatly simplified, and are same between PR and HV KVM. In places where accesses to shadow_vcpu fields are now replaced by accesses to the kvm_vcpu, we can also remove the svcpu_get/put pairs. Finally, on 64-bit, we don't need the kmalloc'd struct at all any more. With this, the time to read the PVR one million times in a loop went from 567.7ms to 575.5ms (averages of 6 values), an increase of about 1.4% for this worse-case test for guest entries and exits. The standard deviation of the measurements is about 11ms, so the difference is only marginally significant statistically.

KVM: PPC: book3s_pr: Simplify transitions between virtual and real mode This simplifies the way that the book3s_pr makes the transition to real mode when entering the guest. We now call kvmppc_entry_trampoline (renamed from kvmppc_rmcall) in the base kernel using a normal function call instead of doing an indirect call through a pointer in the vcpu. If kvm is a module, the module loader takes care of generating a trampoline as it does for other calls to functions outside the module. kvmppc_entry_trampoline then disables interrupts and jumps to kvmppc_handler_trampoline_enter in real mode using an rfi[d]. That then uses the link register as the address to return to (potentially in module space) when the guest exits. This also simplifies the way that we call the Linux interrupt handler when we exit the guest due to an external, decrementer or performance monitor interrupt. Instead of turning on the MMU, then deciding that we need to call the Linux handler and turning the MMU back off again, we now go straight to the handler at the point where we would turn the MMU on. The handler will then return to the virtual-mode code (potentially in the module). Along the way, this moves the setting and clearing of the HID5 DCBZ32 bit into real-mode interrupts-off code, and also makes sure that we clear the MSR[RI] bit before loading values into SRR0/1. The net result is that we no longer need any code addresses to be stored in vcpu->arch. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG7 for VDSO Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented). In commit 8b64a9dfb091f1eca8b7e58da82f1e7d1d5fe0ad ("powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues: - It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time). - It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions. - It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all (by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after I made (most of) this patch. :-) It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles. Until then, let's stick with SPRG for all exceptions. Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e. Since neither SPRG4-7 nor critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO there.
