This adds a per-VM mutex to provide mutual exclusion between vcpus for accesses to and updates of the guest hashed page table (HPT). This also makes the code use single-byte writes to the HPT entry when updating of the reference (R) and change (C) bits. The reason for doing this, rather than writing back the whole HPTE, is that on non-PAPR virtual machines, the guest OS might be writing to the HPTE concurrently, and writing back the whole HPTE might conflict with that. Also, real hardware does single-byte writes to update R and C. The new mutex is taken in kvmppc_mmu_book3s_64_xlate() when reading the HPT and updating R and/or C, and in the PAPR HPT update hcalls (H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, etc.). Having the mutex means that we don't need to use a hypervisor lock bit in the HPT update hcalls, and we don't need to be careful about the order in which the bytes of the HPTE are updated by those hcalls. The other change here is to make emulated TLB invalidations (tlbie) effective across all vcpus. To do this we call kvmppc_mmu_pte_vflush for all vcpus in kvmppc_ppc_book3s_64_tlbie(). For 32-bit, this makes the setting of the accessed and dirty bits use single-byte writes, and makes tlbie invalidate shadow HPTEs for all vcpus. With this, PR KVM can successfully run SMP guests.
