<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Accumulate timing information for real-mode code</title>

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code.  Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:

* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
  just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
  guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
  host.  This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
  return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
  while other threads in the same vcore are active.

These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings".  This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.

The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%.  Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

kvm_no_guest() calls power7_wakeup_loss() to put the thread into the
deepest supported idle state. power7_wakeup_loss() is defined in
arch/powerpc/kernel/idle_power7.S, which is compiled only when
PPC_P7_NAP=y.

And PPC_P7_NAP is selected when PPC_POWERNV=y.

Hence in cases where PPC_POWERNV=n and KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV=y we see the
following error:

  arch/powerpc/kvm/built-in.o: In function `kvm_no_guest':
  arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o:(.text+0x42c): undefined reference to `power7_wakeup_loss'

Fix this by adding PPC_POWERNV as a dependency for KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV.

<title>rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU</title>

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.

If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.

The in-kernel XICS emulation is faster than doing it all in QEMU
and it has got a lot of testing, so enable it by default.

<title>KVM: PPC: Enable IRQFD support for the XICS interrupt controller</title>

<id>urn:sha1:25a2150bee00b4d996487552948b9b3ba21d0257</id>
<content type='text'>
This makes it possible to use IRQFDs on platforms that use the XICS
interrupt controller.  To do this we implement kvm_irq_map_gsi() and
kvm_irq_map_chip_pin() in book3s_xics.c, so as to provide a 1-1 mapping
between global interrupt numbers and XICS interrupt source numbers.
For now, all interrupts are mapped as "IRQCHIP" interrupts, and no
MSI support is provided.

This means that kvm_set_irq can now get called with level == 0 or 1
as well as the powerpc-specific values KVM_INTERRUPT_SET,
KVM_INTERRUPT_UNSET and KVM_INTERRUPT_SET_LEVEL.  We change
ics_deliver_irq() to accept all those values, and remove its
report_status argument, as it is always false, given that we don't
support KVM_IRQ_LINE_STATUS.

This also adds support for interrupt ack notifiers to the XICS code
so that the IRQFD resampler functionality can be supported.

<title>KVM: Give IRQFD its own separate enabling Kconfig option</title>

<id>urn:sha1:297e21053a52f060944e9f0de4c64fad9bcd72fc</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the IRQFD code is conditional on CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING.
So that we can have the IRQFD code compiled in without having the
IRQ routing code, this creates a new CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQFD, makes
the IRQFD code conditional on it instead of CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING,
and makes all the platforms that currently select HAVE_KVM_IRQ_ROUTING
also select HAVE_KVM_IRQFD.

<content type='text'>
The 440 target hasn't been properly functioning for a few releases and
before I was the only one who fixes a very serious bug that indicates to
me that nobody used it before either.

Furthermore KVM on 440 is slow to the extent of unusable.

We don't have to carry along completely unused code. Remove 440 and give
us one less thing to worry about.

With the previous patches applied, we can now successfully use PR KVM on
little endian hosts which means we can now allow users to select it.

However, HV KVM still needs some work, so let's keep the kconfig conflict
on that one.
