KVM: PPC: Remove DCR handling

DCR handling was only needed for 440 KVM. Since we removed it, we can also remove handling of DCR accesses. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf

KVM: Allow KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on the vm fd

2014-07-28T13:23:17Z

The KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION is only available on the kvm fd today. Unfortunately on PPC some of the capabilities change depending on the way a VM was created. So instead we need a way to expose capabilities as VM ioctl, so that we can see which VM type we're using (HV or PR). To enable this, add the KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION ioctl to our vm ioctl portfolio.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix LPCR one_reg interface

2014-07-28T13:23:16Z

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the one_reg interface. This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the upper 32 bits. The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which reduces performance in the guest. We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID, since that would break existing userspace binaries. Instead we define a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit. Userspace can still use the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL). If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD as well.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Allow only implemented hcalls to be enabled or disabled

2014-07-28T13:22:18Z

This adds code to check that when the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability is used to enable or disable in-kernel handling of an hcall, that the hcall is actually implemented by the kernel. If not an EINVAL error is returned. This also checks the default-enabled list of hcalls and prints a warning if any hcall there is not actually implemented.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Controls for in-kernel sPAPR hypercall handling

2014-07-28T13:22:17Z

This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get handled in the kernel. Each hcall can be individually enabled or disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS. The exception for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers. Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM. The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to userspace) and 1 means enable. Enabling or disabling in-kernel handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM. The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor on PowerPC is new, added by this commit. The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM capability advertises that this ability exists. When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for in-kernel handling. The set that is enabled is the set that have an in-kernel implementation at this point. Any new hcall implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the default set without a good reason. No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall implementations; the one setting controls them both. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf

This series enables the "KVM_(S|G)ET_MP_STATE" ioctls on s390 to make the cpu state settable by user space. This is necessary to avoid races in s390 SIGP/reset handling which happen because some SIGPs are handled in QEMU, while others are handled in the kernel. Together with the busy conditions as return value of SIGP races happen especially in areas like starting and stopping of CPUs. (For example, there is a program 'cpuplugd', that runs on several s390 distros which does automatic onlining and offlining on cpus.) As soon as the MPSTATE interface is used, user space takes complete control of the cpu states. Otherwise the kernel will use the old way. Therefore, the new kernel continues to work fine with old QEMUs.
