Add EPCR support in booke mtspr/mfspr emulation. EPCR register is defined only
for 64-bit and HV categories, we will expose it at this point only to 64-bit
virtual processors running on 64-bit HV hosts.

Paul Mackerras a47d72f361 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix updates of vcpu->cpu
This removes the powerpc "generic" updates of vcpu->cpu in load and
put, and moves them to the various backends.

The reason is that "HV" KVM does its own sauce with that field
and the generic updates might corrupt it. The field contains the
CPU# of the -first- HW CPU of the core always for all the VCPU
threads of a core (the one that's online from a host Linux
perspective).

However, the preempt notifiers are going to be called on the
threads VCPUs when they are running (due to them sleeping on our
private waitqueue) causing unload to be called, potentially
clobbering the value.

Paul Mackerras dfe49dbd1f KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle memory slot deletion and modification correctly
This adds an implementation of kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot for
Book3S HV, and arranges for kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region to
flush the dirty log when modifying an existing slot.  With this,
we can handle deletion and modification of memory slots.

kvm_arch_flush_shadow_memslot calls kvmppc_core_flush_memslot, which
on Book3S HV now traverses the reverse map chains to remove any HPT
(hashed page table) entries referring to pages in the memslot.  This
gets called by generic code whenever deleting a memslot or changing
the guest physical address for a memslot.

We flush the dirty log in kvmppc_core_commit_memory_region for
consistency with what x86 does.  We only need to flush when an
existing memslot is being modified, because for a new memslot the
rmap array (which stores the dirty bits) is all zero, meaning that
every page is considered clean already, and when deleting a memslot
we obviously don't care about the dirty bits any more.

Paul Mackerras a66b48c3a3 KVM: PPC: Move kvm->arch.slot_phys into memslot.arch
Now that we have an architecture-specific field in the kvm_memory_slot
structure, we can use it to store the array of page physical addresses
that we need for Book3S HV KVM on PPC970 processors.  This reduces the
size of struct kvm_arch for Book3S HV, and also reduces the size of
struct kvm_arch_memory_slot for other PPC KVM variants since the fields
in it are now only compiled in for Book3S HV.

This necessitates making the kvm_arch_create_memslot and
kvm_arch_free_memslot operations specific to each PPC KVM variant.
That in turn means that we now don't allocate the rmap arrays on
Book3S PR and Book E.

Since we now unpin pages and free the slot_phys array in
kvmppc_core_free_memslot, we no longer need to do it in
kvmppc_core_destroy_vm, since the generic code takes care to free
all the memslots when destroying a VM.

We now need the new memslot to be passed in to
kvmppc_core_prepare_memory_region, since we need to initialize its
arch.slot_phys member on Book3S HV.

Alexander Graf 7a08c2740f KVM: PPC: BookE: Support FPU on non-hv systems
When running on HV aware hosts, we can not trap when the guest sets the FP
bit, so we just let it do so when it wants to, because it has full access to
MSR.

For non-HV aware hosts with an FPU (like 440), we need to also adjust the
shadow MSR though. Otherwise the guest gets an FP unavailable trap even when
it really enabled the FP bit in MSR.

Alexander Graf bd2be6836e KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Rework irq disabling
Today, we disable preemption while inside guest context, because we need
to expose to the world that we are not in a preemptible context. However,
during that time we already have interrupts disabled, which would indicate
that we are in a non-preemptible context.

The reason the checks for irqs_disabled() fail for us though is that we
manually control hard IRQs and ignore all the lazy EE framework. Let's
stop doing that. Instead, let's always use lazy EE to indicate when we
want to disable IRQs, but do a special final switch that gets us into
EE disabled, but soft enabled state. That way when we get back out of
guest state, we are immediately ready to process interrupts.

This simplifies the code drastically and reduces the time that we appear
as preempt disabled.

Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06
provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for

Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from
guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly
to book3s.

Current issues include:
 - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler.
 - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction
   in a page that lacks read permission.  Existing e500/4xx support has
   the same problem.

The decrementer stops at zero, rather than going negative.

Decrementers (and FITs, once implemented) are delivered as
level-triggered interrupts -- dequeued when the TSR bit is cleared, not
on delivery.

Scott Wood b59049720d KVM: PPC: Paravirtualize SPRG4-7, ESR, PIR, MASn
This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest
in PR-mode KVM without trapping.

SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace.  On booke, KVM will sync
these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from
guest userspace will work.  The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently
use either the real registers or the shared area between exits.  This
also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3.

On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported
(they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic
chips).  They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any
non-booke emulation.  I also do not see any syncing with real registers
(in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3.  This patch should not
make that situation any worse.
