cpu->compat_pvr is used to store the current compat mode of the cpu.
On the receiving side during incoming migration we check compatibility
with the compat mode by calling ppc_set_compat(). However we fail to set
the compat mode with the hypervisor since the "new" compat mode doesn't
differ from the current (due to a "cpu->compat_pvr != compat_pvr" check).
This means that kvm runs the vcpus without a compat mode, which is the
incorrect behaviour. The implication being that a compatibility mode
will never be in effect after migration.
To fix this so that the compat mode is correctly set with the
hypervisor, store the desired compat mode and reset cpu->compat_pvr to
zero before calling ppc_set_compat().

Modify the pre_save method on VMStateDescription to return an int
rather than void so that it potentially can fail.
Changed zillions of devices to make them return 0; the only
case I've made it return non-0 is hw/intc/s390_flic_kvm.c that already
had an error_report/return case.
Note: If you add an error exit in your pre_save you must emit
an error_report to say why.

Commit d5fc133eed ("ppc: Rework CPU compatibility testing
across migration") changed the way cpu_post_load behaves with
the PVR setting, causing an unexpected bug in KVM-HV migrations
between hosts that are compatible (POWER8 and POWER8E, for example).
Even with pvr_match() returning true, the guest freezes right after
cpu_post_load. The reason is that the guest kernel can't handle a
different PVR value other that the running host in KVM_SET_SREGS.
In [1] it was discussed the possibility of a new KVM capability
that would indicate that the guest kernel can handle a different
PVR in KVM_SET_SREGS. Even if such feature is implemented, there is
still the problem with older kernels that will not have this capability
and will fail to migrate.
This patch implements a workaround for that scenario. If running
with KVM, check if the guest kernel does not have the capability
(named here as 'cap_ppc_pvr_compat'). If it doesn't, calls
kvmppc_is_pr() to see if the guest is running in KVM-HV. If all this
happens, set env->spr[SPR_PVR] to the same value as the current
host PVR. This ensures that we allow migrations with 'close enough'
PVRs to still work in KVM-HV but also makes the code ready for
this new KVM capability when it is done.
A new function called 'kvmppc_pvr_workaround_required' was created
to encapsulate the conditions said above and to avoid calling too
many kvm.c internals inside cpu_post_load.

Migrating between different CPU versions is a bit complicated for ppc.
A long time ago, we ensured identical CPU versions at either end by
checking the PVR had the same value. However, this breaks under KVM
HV, because we always have to use the host's PVR - it's not
virtualized. That would mean we couldn't migrate between hosts with
different PVRs, even if the CPUs are close enough to compatible in
practice (sometimes identical cores with different surrounding logic
have different PVRs, so this happens in practice quite often).
So, we removed the PVR check, but instead checked that several flags
indicating supported instructions matched. This turns out to be a bad
idea, because those instruction masks are not architected information, but
essentially a TCG implementation detail. So changes to qemu internal CPU
modelling can break migration - this happened between qemu-2.6 and
qemu-2.7. That was addressed by 146c11f1 "target-ppc: Allow eventual
removal of old migration mistakes".
Now, verification of CPU compatibility across a migration basically doesn't
happen. We simply ignore the PVR of the incoming migration, and hope the
cpu on the destination is close enough to work.
Now that we've cleaned up handling of processor compatibility modes
for pseries machine type, we can do better. For new machine types
(pseries-2.10+) We allow migration if:
* The source and destination PVRs are for the same type of CPU, as
determined by CPU class's pvr_match function
OR * When the source was in a compatibility mode, and the destination CPU
supports the same compatibility mode
For older machine types we retain the existing behaviour - current CAS
code will usually set a compat mode which would break backwards
migration if we made them use the new behaviour. [Fixed from an
earlier version by Greg Kurz].

In some cases a failing VMSTATE_*_EQUAL does not mean we detected a bug,
but it's actually the best we can do. Especially in these cases a verbose
error message is required.
Let's introduce infrastructure for specifying a error hint to be used if
equal check fails. Let's do this by adding a parameter to the _EQUAL
macros called _err_hint. Also change all current users to pass NULL as
last parameter so nothing changes for them.

The pseries machine type implements the behaviour of a PAPR compliant
hypervisor, without actually executing such a hypervisor on the virtual
CPU. To do this we need some hooks in the CPU code to make hypervisor
facilities get redirected to the machine instead of emulated internally.
For hypercalls this is managed through the cpu->vhyp field, which points
to a QOM interface with a method implementing the hypercall.
For the hashed page table (HPT) - also a hypervisor resource - we use an
older hack. CPUPPCState has an 'external_htab' field which when non-NULL
indicates that the HPT is stored in qemu memory, rather than within the
guest's address space.
For consistency - and to make some future extensions easier - this merges
the external HPT mechanism into the vhyp mechanism. Methods are added
to vhyp for the basic operations the core hash MMU code needs: map_hptes()
and unmap_hptes() for reading the HPT, store_hpte() for updating it and
hpt_mask() to retrieve its size.
To match this, the pseries machine now sets these vhyp fields in its
existing vhyp class, rather than reaching into the cpu object to set the
external_htab field.

CPUPPCState includes fields htab_base and htab_mask which store the base
address (GPA) and size (as a mask) of the guest's hashed page table (HPT).
These are set when the SDR1 register is updated.
Keeping these in sync with the SDR1 is actually a little bit fiddly, and
probably not useful for performance, since keeping them expands the size of
CPUPPCState. It also makes some upcoming changes harder to implement.
This patch removes these fields, in favour of calculating them directly
from the SDR1 contents when necessary.
This does make a change to the behaviour of attempting to write a bad value
(invalid HPT size) to the SDR1 with an mtspr instruction. Previously, the
bad value would be stored in SDR1 and could be retrieved with a later
mfspr, but the HPT size as used by the softmmu would be, clamped to the
allowed values. Now, writing a bad value is treated as a no-op. An error
message is printed in both new and old versions.
I'm not sure which behaviour, if either, matches real hardware. I don't
think it matters that much, since it's pretty clear that if an OS writes
a bad value to SDR1, it's not going to boot.

We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
