powerpc/pseries: Query hypervisor for count cache flush settings

2019-05-16T17:44:49+00:00

commit ba72dc171954b782a79d25e0f4b3ed91090c3b1e upstream. Use the existing hypercall to determine the appropriate settings for the count cache flush, and then call the generic powerpc code to set it up based on the security feature flags.

powerpc/pseries: Add new H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS flags

2019-05-16T17:44:45+00:00

commit c4bc36628d7f8b664657d8bd6ad1c44c177880b7 upstream. Add some additional values which have been defined for the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hypercall. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/pseries: include linux/types.h in asm/hvcall.h

2018-02-16T19:09:39+00:00

commit 1b689a95ce7427075f9ac9fb4aea1af530742b7f upstream. Commit 6e032b350cd1 ("powerpc/powernv: Check device-tree for RFI flush settings") uses u64 in asm/hvcall.h without including linux/types.h This breaks hvcall.h users that do not include the header themselves.

powerpc/pseries: Add H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS flags & wrapper

2018-02-16T19:09:34+00:00

commit 191eccb1580939fb0d47deb405b82a85b0379070 upstream. A new hypervisor call has been defined to communicate various characteristics of the CPU to guests. Add definitions for the hcall number, flags and a wrapper function.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add H_SET_MODE hcall handling

2014-07-28T13:22:19+00:00

This adds support for the H_SET_MODE hcall. This hcall is a multiplexer that has several functions, some of which are called rarely, and some which are potentially called very frequently. Here we add support for the functions that set the debug registers CIABR (Completed Instruction Address Breakpoint Register) and DAWR/DAWRX (Data Address Watchpoint Register and eXtension), since they could be updated by the guest as often as every context switch. This also adds a kvmppc_power8_compatible() function to test to see if a guest is compatible with POWER8 or not. The CIABR and DAWR/X only exist on POWER8.

pseries: Add H_SET_MODE to change exception endianness

2013-11-20T22:19:16+00:00

On little endian builds call H_SET_MODE so exceptions have the correct endianness. We need to reset the endian during kexec so do that in the MMU hashtable clear callback. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/kvm/book3s: Add support for H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X in XICS emulation

2013-05-31T22:29:27+00:00

This adds the remaining two hypercalls defined by PAPR for manipulating the XICS interrupt controller, H_IPOLL and H_XIRR_X. H_IPOLL returns information about the priority and pending interrupts for a virtual cpu, without changing any state. H_XIRR_X is like H_XIRR in that it reads and acknowledges the highest-priority pending interrupt, but it also returns the timestamp (timebase register value) from when the interrupt was first received by the hypervisor. Currently we just return the current time, since we don't do any software queueing of virtual interrupts inside the XICS emulation code. These hcalls are not currently used by Linux guests, but may be in future. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras Acked-by: Scott Wood Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add infrastructure to implement kernel-side RTAS calls

2013-04-26T18:27:29+00:00

For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS calls in the kernel itself. This adds an infrastructure to allow in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name. A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to associate token values with those service names. Then, when the guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being passed up to userspace as at present.

powerpc: Disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active

2013-01-10T06:00:42+00:00

For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address. This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors. Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed. It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real option.
