<content type='text'>
This commit defines the API for userspace and prepare the common
functionalities to support per VM/VCPU binary stats data readings.

The KVM stats now is only accessible by debugfs, which has some
shortcomings this change series are supposed to fix:
1. The current debugfs stats solution in KVM could be disabled
   when kernel Lockdown mode is enabled, which is a potential
   rick for production.
2. The current debugfs stats solution in KVM is organized as "one
   stats per file", it is good for debugging, but not efficient
   for production.
3. The stats read/clear in current debugfs solution in KVM are
   protected by the global kvm_lock.

Besides that, there are some other benefits with this change:
1. All KVM VM/VCPU stats can be read out in a bulk by one copy
   to userspace.
2. A schema is used to describe KVM statistics. From userspace's
   perspective, the KVM statistics are self-describing.
3. With the fd-based solution, a separate telemetry would be able
   to read KVM stats in a less privileged environment.
4. After the initial setup by reading in stats descriptors, a
   telemetry only needs to read the stats data itself, no more
   parsing or setup is needed.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Implement the rest of the P9 path in C</title>

<id>urn:sha1:89d35b23910158a9add33a206e973f4227906d3c</id>
<content type='text'>
Almost all logic is moved to C, by introducing a new in_guest mode for
the P9 path that branches very early in the KVM interrupt handler to P9
exit code.

The main P9 entry and exit assembly is now only about 160 lines of low
level stack setup and register save/restore, plus a bad-interrupt
handler.

There are two motivations for this, the first is just make the code more
maintainable being in C. The second is to reduce the amount of code
running in a special KVM mode, "realmode". In quotes because with radix
it is no longer necessarily real-mode in the MMU, but it still has to be
treated specially because it may be in real-mode, and has various
important registers like PID, DEC, TB, etc set to guest. This is hostile
to the rest of Linux and can't use arbitrary kernel functionality or be
instrumented well.

This initial patch is a reasonably faithful conversion of the asm code,
but it does lack any loop to return quickly back into the guest without
switching out of realmode in the case of unimportant or easily handled
interrupts. As explained in previous changes, handling HV interrupts
very quickly in this low level realmode is not so important for P9
performance, and are important to avoid for security, observability,
debugability reasons.

Rather than bifurcate the call depending on whether or not HV is
possible, and have the HV entry test for PR, just make a single
common point which does the demultiplexing. This makes it simpler
to add another type of exit handler.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Support for running secure guests</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ca9f4942670c37407bb109090eaf776ce2ccc54c</id>
<content type='text'>
A pseries guest can be run as secure guest on Ultravisor-enabled
POWER platforms. On such platforms, this driver will be used to manage
the movement of guest pages between the normal memory managed by
hypervisor (HV) and secure memory managed by Ultravisor (UV).

HV is informed about the guest's transition to secure mode via hcalls:

H_SVM_INIT_START: Initiate securing a VM
H_SVM_INIT_DONE: Conclude securing a VM

As part of H_SVM_INIT_START, register all existing memslots with
the UV. H_SVM_INIT_DONE call by UV informs HV that transition of
the guest to secure mode is complete.

These two states (transition to secure mode STARTED and transition
to secure mode COMPLETED) are recorded in kvm-&gt;arch.secure_guest.
Setting these states will cause the assembly code that enters the
guest to call the UV_RETURN ucall instead of trying to enter the
guest directly.

Migration of pages betwen normal and secure memory of secure
guest is implemented in H_SVM_PAGE_IN and H_SVM_PAGE_OUT hcalls.

H_SVM_PAGE_IN: Move the content of a normal page to secure page
H_SVM_PAGE_OUT: Move the content of a secure page to normal page

Private ZONE_DEVICE memory equal to the amount of secure memory
available in the platform for running secure guests is created.
Whenever a page belonging to the guest becomes secure, a page from
this private device memory is used to represent and track that secure
page on the HV side. The movement of pages between normal and secure
memory is done via migrate_vma_pages() using UV_PAGE_IN and
UV_PAGE_OUT ucalls.

In order to prevent the device private pages (that correspond to pages
of secure guest) from participating in KSM merging, H_SVM_PAGE_IN
calls ksm_madvise() under read version of mmap_sem. However
ksm_madvise() needs to be under write lock.  Hence we call
kvmppc_svm_page_in with mmap_sem held for writing, and it then
downgrades to a read lock after calling ksm_madvise.

 mmap_sem when calling ksm_madvise"]

This is the basic framework for the new KVM device supporting the XIVE
native exploitation mode. The user interface exposes a new KVM device
to be created by QEMU, only available when running on a L0 hypervisor.
Support for nested guests is not available yet.

The XIVE device reuses the device structure of the XICS-on-XIVE device
as they have a lot in common. That could possibly change in the future
if the need arise.

The header search path -I. in kernel Makefiles is very suspicious;
it allows the compiler to search for headers in the top of $(srctree),
where obviously no header file exists.

Commit 46f43c6ee022 ("KVM: powerpc: convert marker probes to event
trace") first added these options, but they are completely useless.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of
     fairly complicated asm with much fewer lines of C.

   - Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for
     each process and preload them on context switch. Leading to a 27%
     speedup for our context switch benchmark on Power9.

   - Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print
     more debug information when they occur, and try to continue running
     by flushing the SLB and reloading, rather than treating them as
     fatal.

   - Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).

   - Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on
     64-bit Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system
     memory, otherwise the percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.

   - Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task
     canary.

   - Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.

   - Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are
     presented to us as a single SMT8 core.

   - A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE
     flags.

   - Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface,
     allowing guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).

   - Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we
     need to use a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().

  And many other smaller enhancements and cleanups.

Back when I added -Werror in commit ba55bd74360e ("powerpc: Add
configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc") I did it by adding it to most
of the arch Makefiles.

At the time we excluded math-emu, because apparently it didn't build
cleanly. But that seems to have been fixed somewhere in the interim.

So move the -Werror addition to the top-level of the arch, this saves
us from repeating it in every Makefile and means we won't forget to
add it to any new sub-dirs.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Framework and hcall stubs for nested virtualization</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8e3f5fc1045dc49fd175b978c5457f5f51e7a2ce</id>
<content type='text'>
This starts the process of adding the code to support nested HV-style
virtualization.  It defines a new H_SET_PARTITION_TABLE hypercall which
a nested hypervisor can use to set the base address and size of a
partition table in its memory (analogous to the PTCR register).
On the host (level 0 hypervisor) side, the H_SET_PARTITION_TABLE
hypercall from the guest is handled by code that saves the virtual
PTCR value for the guest.

This also adds code for creating and destroying nested guests and for
reading the partition table entry for a nested guest from L1 memory.
Each nested guest has its own shadow LPID value, different in general
from the LPID value used by the nested hypervisor to refer to it.  The
shadow LPID value is allocated at nested guest creation time.

Nested hypervisor functionality is only available for a radix guest,
which therefore means a radix host on a POWER9 (or later) processor.

It is a simple patch just for moving kvmppc_save_tm/kvmppc_restore_tm()
functionalities to tm.S. There is no logic change. The reconstruct of
those APIs will be done in later patches to improve readability.

It is for preparation of reusing those APIs on both HV/PR PPC KVM.

Some slight change during move the functions includes:
- surrounds some HV KVM specific code with CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE
for compilation.
- use _GLOBAL() to define kvmppc_save_tm/kvmppc_restore_tm()
