KVM: PPC: Book3s PR: Allow access to unprivileged MMCR2 register

2016-10-16T15:36:14+00:00

commit fa73c3b25bd8d0d393dc6109a1dba3c2aef0451e upstream. The MMCR2 register is available twice, one time with number 785 (privileged access), and one time with number 769 (unprivileged, but it can be disabled completely). In former times, the Linux kernel was using the unprivileged register 769 only, but since commit 8dd75ccb571f3c92c ("powerpc: Use privileged SPR number for MMCR2"), it uses the privileged register 785 instead. The KVM-PR code then of course also switched to use the SPR 785, but this is causing older guest kernels to crash, since these kernels still access 769 instead. So to support older kernels with KVM-PR again, we have to support register 769 in KVM-PR, too.

powerpc: Use privileged SPR number for MMCR2

2016-06-24T17:18:20+00:00

commit 8dd75ccb571f3c92c48014b3dabd3d51a115ab41 upstream. We are already using the privileged versions of MMCR0, MMCR1 and MMCRA in the kernel, so for MMCR2, we should better use the privileged versions, too, to be consistent.

powerpc: Fix definition of SIAR and SDAR registers

2016-06-24T17:18:19+00:00

commit d23fac2b27d94aeb7b65536a50d32bfdc21fe01e upstream. The SIAR and SDAR registers are available twice, one time as SPRs 780 / 781 (unprivileged, but read-only), and one time as the SPRs 796 / 797 (privileged, but read and write). The Linux kernel code currently uses the unprivileged SPRs - while this is OK for reading, writing to that register of course does not work. Since the KVM code tries to write to this register, too (see the mtspr in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S), the contents of this register sometimes get lost for the guests, e.g. during migration of a VM. To fix this issue, simply switch to the privileged SPR numbers instead. Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth Acked-by: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/tm: Block signal return setting invalid MSR state

2015-11-23T09:06:31+00:00

Currently we allow both the MSR T and S bits to be set by userspace on a signal return. Unfortunately this is a reserved configuration and will cause a TM Bad Thing exception if attempted (via rfid). This patch checks for this case in both the 32 and 64 bit signals code. If both T and S are set, we mark the context as invalid. Found using a syscall fuzzer.

powerpc: Revert "Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8"

2015-10-21T09:50:30+00:00

This reverts commit 9678cdaae939 ("Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8") because the original commit had multiple, partly self-cancelling bugs, that could cause occasional memory corruption. In fact the logmpp instruction was incorrectly using register r0 as the source of the buffer address and operation code, and depending on what was in r0, it would either do nothing or corrupt the 64k page pointed to by r0. The logmpp instruction encoding and the operation code definitions could be corrected, but then there is the problem that there is no clearly defined way to know when the hardware has finished writing to the buffer. The original commit attempted to work around this by aborting the write-out before starting the prefetch, but this is ineffective in the case where the virtual core is now executing on a different physical core from the one where the write-out was initiated. These problems plus advice from the hardware designers not to use the function (since the measured performance improvement from using the feature was actually mostly negative), mean that reverting the code is the best option.

powerpc: Add an inline function to update POWER8 HID0

2015-08-14T05:58:28+00:00

Section 3.7 of Version 1.2 of the Power8 Processor User's Manual prescribes that updates to HID0 be preceded by a SYNC instruction and followed by an ISYNC instruction (Page 91). Create an inline function name update_power8_hid0() which follows this recipe and invoke it from the static split core path. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

powerpc/powernv: Fixes for hypervisor doorbell handling

2015-03-20T03:51:53+00:00

Since we can now use hypervisor doorbells for host IPIs, this makes sure we clear the host IPI flag when taking a doorbell interrupt, and clears any pending doorbell IPI in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (as we already do for IPIs sent via the XICS interrupt controller). Otherwise if there did happen to be a leftover pending doorbell interrupt for an offline CPU thread for any reason, it would prevent that thread from going into a power-saving mode; it would instead keep waking up because of the interrupt.

powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus

2014-12-14T23:46:41+00:00

Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3 is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to sleep. But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and restored upon wake up. Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to save and restore rest of the necessary registers. With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories- per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this, extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can distingush first thread in core and subcore. Signed-off-by: Shreyas B.

powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode

2014-12-14T23:46:32+00:00

Currently, when going idle, we set the flag indicating that we are in nap mode (paca->kvm_hstate.hwthread_state) and then execute the nap (or sleep or rvwinkle) instruction, all with the MMU on. This is bad for two reasons: (a) the architecture specifies that those instructions must be executed with the MMU off, and in fact with only the SF, HV, ME and possibly RI bits set, and (b) this introduces a race, because as soon as we set the flag, another thread can switch the MMU to a guest context. If the race is lost, this thread will typically start looping on relocation-on ISIs at 0xc...4400. This fixes it by setting the MSR as required by the architecture before setting the flag or executing the nap/sleep/rvwinkle instruction.
