KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Run HPT guests on POWER9 radix hosts
This patch removes the restriction that a radix host can only run radix guests, allowing us to run HPT (hashed page table) guests as well. This is useful because it provides a way to run old guest kernels that know about POWER8 but not POWER9. Unfortunately, POWER9 currently has a restriction that all threads in a given code must either all be in HPT mode, or all in radix mode. This means that when entering a HPT guest, we have to obtain control of all 4 threads in the core and get them to switch their LPIDR and LPCR registers, even if they are not going to run a guest. On guest exit we also have to get all threads to switch LPIDR and LPCR back to host values. To make this feasible, we require that KVM not be in the "independent threads" mode, and that the CPU cores be in single-threaded mode from the host kernel's perspective (only thread 0 online; threads 1, 2 and 3 offline). That allows us to use the same code as on POWER8 for obtaining control of the secondary threads. To manage the LPCR/LPIDR changes required, we extend the kvm_split_info struct to contain the information needed by the secondary threads. All threads perform a barrier synchronization (where all threads wait for every other thread to reach the synchronization point) on guest entry, both before and after loading LPCR and LPIDR. On guest exit, they all once again perform a barrier synchronization both before and after loading host values into LPCR and LPIDR. Finally, it is also currently necessary to flush the entire TLB every time we enter a HPT guest on a radix host. We do this on thread 0 with a loop of tlbiel instructions.
