This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means
that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means
that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent
performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.
This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing
Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR
hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
to include/linux/kvm.h.
Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
(i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
do one or the other.
This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
restriction.
With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
to those exception handlers.
We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
interrupts, so we have to handle those.
In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.
The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
(partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run
in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.
This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We
require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that
we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.
This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that
temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running,
rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu.
This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and
modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit.
On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the
kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able
to get to them both with one pointer. On 64-bit they are separate
fields in the PACA. This means that on 64-bit we don't need to
copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and
in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a
shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all. That does mean that we
have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the
hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block
or get preempted.

In hypervisor mode, the LPCR controls several aspects of guest
partitions, including virtual partition memory mode, and also controls
whether the hypervisor decrementer interrupts are enabled. This sets
up LPCR at boot time so that guest partitions will use a virtual real

Doing so means that we don't have to save the flags anywhere and gets
rid of the last reference to to_book3s(vcpu) in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c.
Doing so is OK because a program interrupt won't be generated at the
same time as any other synchronous interrupt. If a program interrupt
and an asynchronous interrupt (external or decrementer) are generated
at the same time, the program interrupt will be delivered, which is
correct because it has a higher priority, and then the asynchronous
interrupt will be masked.
We don't ever generate system reset or machine check interrupts to the
guest, but if we did, then we would need to make sure they got delivered
rather than the program interrupt. The current code would be wrong in
this situation anyway since it would deliver the program interrupt as
well as the reset/machine check interrupt.

Instead of branching out-of-line with the DO_KVM macro to check if we
are in a KVM guest at the time of an interrupt, this moves the KVM
check inline in the first-level interrupt handlers. This speeds up
the non-KVM case and makes sure that none of the interrupt handlers
are missing the check.
Because the first-level interrupt handlers are now larger, some things
had to be move out of line in exceptions-64s.S.
This all necessitated some minor changes to the interrupt entry code
in KVM. This also streamlines the book3s_32 KVM test.

In preparation for adding code to enable KVM to use hypervisor mode
on 64-bit Book 3S processors, this splits book3s.c into two files,
book3s.c and book3s_pr.c, where book3s_pr.c contains the code that is
specific to running the guest in problem state (user mode) and book3s.c
contains code which should apply to all Book 3S processors.
In doing this, we abstract some details, namely the interrupt offset,
updating the interrupt pending flag, and detecting if the guest is
in a critical section. These are all things that will be different
when we use hypervisor mode.

Commit 69acc0d3ba ("KVM: PPC: Resolve real-mode handlers through
function exports") resulted in vcpu->arch.trampoline_lowmem and
vcpu->arch.trampoline_enter ending up with kernel virtual addresses
rather than physical addresses. This is OK on 64-bit Book3S machines,
which ignore the top 4 bits of the effective address in real mode,
but on 32-bit Book3S machines, accessing these addresses in real mode
causes machine check interrupts, as the hardware uses the whole
effective address as the physical address in real mode.
This fixes the problem by using __pa() to convert these addresses
to physical addresses.

Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into
multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS]. Use
both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be
selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest
PID.
This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to
invalidate the entire TLB. When the guest mode or PID changes, we just
update the host PID0/PID1. And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is
global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict.
Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to
a value other than zero. This will need to be fixed for nested KVM
to work. Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2
to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them
to something else.

This allows large pages to be used on guest mappings backed by things like
/dev/mem, resulting in a significant speedup when guest memory
is mapped this way (it's useful for directly-assigned MMIO, too).
This is not a substitute for hugetlbfs integration, but is useful for
configurations where devices are directly assigned on chips without an
IOMMU -- in these cases, we need guest physical and true physical to
match, and be contiguous, so static reservation and mapping via /dev/mem
is the most straightforward way to set things up.

giveup_spe() saves the SPE state which is protected by MSR[SPE].
However, modifying SPEFSCR does not trap when MSR[SPE]=0.
And since SPEFSCR is already saved/restored in _switch(),
not all the callers want to save SPEFSCR again.
Thus, saving SPEFSCR should not belong to giveup_spe().

This is all unnecessary. The high bits of the EA get ignore in real mode, so we
