This patch moves nip/ctr/lr/xer registers from scattered places in
kvm_vcpu_arch to pt_regs structure.
cr register is "unsigned long" in pt_regs and u32 in vcpu->arch.
It will need more consideration and may move in later patches.

This converts all remaining setup_timer() calls that use a nested field
to reach a struct timer_list. Coccinelle does not have an easy way to
match multiple fields, so a new script is needed to change the matches of
"&_E->_timer" into "&_E->_field1._timer" in all the rules.

A first step in vcpu->requests encapsulation. Additionally, we now
use READ_ONCE() when accessing vcpu->requests, which ensures we
always load vcpu->requests when it's accessed. This is important as
other threads can change it any time. Also, READ_ONCE() documents
that vcpu->requests is used with other threads, likely requiring
memory barriers, which it does.

Some wakeups should not be considered a sucessful poll. For example on
s390 I/O interrupts are usually floating, which means that _ALL_ CPUs
would be considered runnable - letting all vCPUs poll all the time for
transactional like workload, even if one vCPU would be enough.
This can result in huge CPU usage for large guests.
This patch lets architectures provide a way to qualify wakeups if they
should be considered a good/bad wakeups in regard to polls.
For s390 the implementation will fence of halt polling for anything but
known good, single vCPU events. The s390 implementation for floating
interrupts does a wakeup for one vCPU, but the interrupt will be delivered
by whatever CPU checks first for a pending interrupt. We prefer the
woken up CPU by marking the poll of this CPU as "good" poll.
This code will also mark several other wakeup reasons like IPI or
expired timers as "good". This will of course also mark some events as
not sucessful. As KVM on z runs always as a 2nd level hypervisor,
we prefer to not poll, unless we are really sure, though.
This patch successfully limits the CPU usage for cases like uperf 1byte
transactional ping pong workload or wakeup heavy workload like OLTP
while still providing a proper speedup.
This also introduced a new vcpu stat "halt_poll_no_tuning" that marks
wakeups that are considered not good for polling.

This new statistic can help diagnosing VCPUs that, for any reason,
trigger bad behavior of halt_poll_ns autotuning.
For example, say halt_poll_ns = 480000, and wakeups are spaced exactly
like 479us, 481us, 479us, 481us. Then KVM always fails polling and wastes
10+20+40+80+160+320+480 = 1110 microseconds out of every
479+481+479+481+479+481+479 = 3359 microseconds. The VCPU then
is consuming about 30% more CPU than it would use without
polling. This would show as an abnormally high number of
attempted polling compared to the successful polls.

This lets the function access the new memory slot without going through
kvm_memslots and id_to_memslot. It will simplify the code when more
than one address space will be supported.
Unfortunately, the "const"ness of the new argument must be casted
away in two places. Fixing KVM to accept const struct kvm_memory_slot
pointers would require modifications in pretty much all architectures,
and is left for later.

This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.
This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest. KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too. When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.
With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest. This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.
Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host. The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.
The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter. It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.
While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls. During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark. The wasted time is thus very low. Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.
The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer. Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns. For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

us to pass an enum of the type of instruction we want to read into it rather
than an unreadable boolean.
Unfortunately, not all callers ended up passing the enum. This wasn't really
an issue as "true" and "false" happen to match the two enum values we have,
but it's still hard to read.
Update all callers of kvmppc_get_last_inst() to follow the new calling
convention.

This patch emulates debug registers and debug exception
to support guest using debug resource. This enables running
gdb/kgdb etc in guest.
On BOOKE architecture we cannot share debug resources between QEMU and
guest because:
When QEMU is using debug resources then debug exception must
be always enabled. To achieve this we set MSR_DE and also set
MSRP_DEP so guest cannot change MSR_DE.
When emulating debug resource for guest we want guest
to control MSR_DE (enable/disable debug interrupt on need).
So above mentioned two configuration cannot be supported
at the same time. So the result is that we cannot share
debug resources between QEMU and Guest on BOOKE architecture.
In the current design QEMU gets priority over guest, this means that if
QEMU is using debug resources then guest cannot use them and if guest is
using debug resource then QEMU can overwrite them.

Add AltiVec support in KVM for Book3e. FPU support gracefully reuse host
infrastructure so follow the same approach for AltiVec.
Book3e specification defines shared interrupt numbers for SPE and AltiVec
units. Still SPE is present in e200/e500v2 cores while AltiVec is present in
e6500 core. So we can currently decide at compile-time which of the SPE or
AltiVec units to support exclusively by using CONFIG_SPE_POSSIBLE and
CONFIG_PPC_E500MC defines. As Alexander Graf suggested, keep SPE and AltiVec
exception handlers distinct to improve code readability.
Guests have the privilege to enable AltiVec, so we always need to support
AltiVec in KVM and implicitly in host to reflect interrupts and to save/restore
the unit context. KVM will be loaded on cores with AltiVec unit only if
CONFIG_ALTIVEC is defined. Use this define to guard KVM AltiVec logic.

Dbsr is not visible to userspace and we do not think any need to
expose this to userspace because:
Userspace cannot inject debug interrupt to guest (as this
does not know guest ability to handle debug interrupt), so
userspace will always clear DBSR.
Now if userspace has to always clear DBSR in KVM_EXIT_DEBUG
handling then clearing dbsr in kernel looks simple as this
avoid doing SET_SREGS/set_one_reg() to clear DBSR

Debug interrupt can be either "critical level" or "debug level".
There are separate set of save/restore registers used for different level.
Example: DSRR0/DSRR1 are used for "debug level" and CSRR0/CSRR1
are used for critical level debug interrupt.
Using CPU_FTR_DEBUG_LVL_EXC to decide which interrupt level to be used.

On book3e, KVM uses load external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction to read
guest last instruction on the exit path. lwepx exceptions (DTLB_MISS, DSI
and LRAT), generated by loading a guest address, needs to be handled by KVM.
These exceptions are generated in a substituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1) from host context (MSR[GS] = 0).
Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context (MSR[GS] = 1),
doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host performance degradation.
lwepx exceptions originate from host state (MSR[GS] = 0) which implies
additional checks in DO_KVM macro (beside the current MSR[GS] = 1) by looking
at the Exception Syndrome Register (ESR[EPID]) and the External PID Load Context
Register (EPLC[EGS]). Doing this on each Data TLB miss exception is obvious
too intrusive for the host.
Read guest last instruction from kvmppc_load_last_inst() by searching for the
physical address and kmap it. This address the TODO for TLB eviction and
execute-but-not-read entries, and allow us to get rid of lwepx until we are
able to handle failures.
A simple stress benchmark shows a 1% sys performance degradation compared with
previous approach (lwepx without failure handling):
time for i in `seq 1 10000`; do /bin/echo > /dev/null; done
real 0m 8.85s
user 0m 4.34s
sys 0m 4.48s
vs
real 0m 8.84s
user 0m 4.36s
sys 0m 4.44s
A solution to use lwepx and to handle its exceptions in KVM would be to temporary
highjack the interrupt vector from host. This imposes additional synchronizations
for cores like FSL e6500 that shares host IVOR registers between hardware threads.
This optimized solution can be later developed on top of this patch.

On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.
This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.
Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

(including its misplaced kvm_guest_exit() call).
As suggested by Tiejun Chen, move the interrupt disabling into

move the IRQ enabling on heavyweight exit into

Rather than calling hard_irq_disable() when we're back in C code

Now that we have the vcpu floating-point and vector state stored in
the same type of struct as the main kernel uses, we can load that
state directly from the vcpu struct instead of having extra copies
to/from the thread_struct. Similarly, when the guest state needs to
be saved, we can have it saved it directly to the vcpu struct by
setting the current->thread.fp_save_area and current->thread.vr_save_area
pointers. That also means that we don't need to back up and restore
userspace's FP/vector state. This all makes the code simpler and
faster.
Note that it's not necessary to save or modify current->thread.fpexc_mode,
since nothing in KVM uses or is affected by its value. Nor is it
necessary to touch used_vr or used_vsr.
