availability of nested kvm-hv to the level 1 (L1) guest.
Assuming a hypervisor with support enabled an L1 guest can be allowed to

Actually, KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO is a VM class ioctl, and thus, we

Now that we're checking our MMU configuration is supported by KVM,
rather than adjusting it to KVM, it doesn't really make sense to
have a fallback for kvm_get_smmu_info(). If KVM is too old or buggy
to provide the details, we should rather treat this as an error.
This patch thus adds error reporting to kvm_get_smmu_info() and get

provide MMU details. This may break some very old setups, but the

Currently during KVM initialization on POWER, kvm_fixup_page_sizes()
rewrites a bunch of information in the cpu state to reflect the
capabilities of the host MMU and KVM. This overwrites the information
that's already there reflecting how the TCG implementation of the MMU will
operate.
This means that we can get guest-visibly different behaviour between KVM
and TCG (and between different KVM implementations). That's bad. It also
prevents migration between KVM and TCG.
The pseries machine type now has filtering of the pagesizes it allows the
guest to use which means it can present a consistent model of the MMU
across all accelerators.
So, we can now replace kvm_fixup_page_sizes() with kvm_check_mmu() which
merely verifies that the expected cpu model can be faithfully handled by
KVM, rather than updating the cpu model to match KVM.
We call kvm_check_mmu() from the spapr cpu reset code. This is a hack:
conceptually it makes more sense where fixup_page_sizes() was - in the KVM
cpu init path. However, doing that would require moving the platform's
pagesize filtering much earlier, which would require a lot of work making
further adjustments. There wouldn't be a lot of concrete point to doing
that, since the only KVM implementation which has the awkward MMU
restrictions is KVM HV, which can only work with an spapr guest anyway.

The way we used to handle KVM allowable guest pagesizes for PAPR guests
required some convoluted checking of memory attached to the guest.
The allowable pagesizes advertised to the guest cpus depended on the memory
which was attached at boot, but then we needed to ensure that any memory
later hotplugged didn't change which pagesizes were allowed.
Now that we have an explicit machine option to control the allowable
maximum pagesize we can simplify this. We just check all memory backends
against that declared pagesize. We check base and cold-plugged memory at
reset time, and hotplugged memory at pre_plug() time.

CPUPPCState currently contains a number of fields containing the state of

shared memory areas used to communicate some information with the
hypervisor.
As a PAPR concept this is really machine specific information, although it
is per-cpu, so it doesn't really belong in the core CPU state structure.
There's also other information that's per-cpu, but platform/machine
specific. So create a (void *)machine_data in PowerPCCPU which can be
used by the machine to locate per-cpu data. Intialization, lifetime and

cpu_ppc_set_papr() does several things:
1) it sets up the virtual hypervisor interface
2) it prevents the cpu from ever entering hypervisor mode
3) it tells KVM that we're emulating a cpu in PAPR mode
and 4) it configures the LPCR and AMOR (hypervisor privileged registers)
so that TCG will behave correctly for PAPR guests, without
attempting to emulate the cpu in hypervisor mode
(1) & (2) make sense for any virtual hypervisor (if another one ever
exists).
(3) belongs more properly in the machine type specific to a PAPR guest, so
move it to spapr_cpu_init(). While we're at it, remove an ugly test on
kvm_enabled() by making kvmppc_set_papr() a safe no-op on non-KVM.
(4) also belongs more properly in the machine type specific code. (4) is
done by mangling the default values of the SPRs, so that they will be set
correctly at reset time. Manipulating usually-static parameters of the cpu
model like this is kind of ugly, especially since the values used really
have more to do with the platform than the cpu.
The spapr code already has places for PAPR specific initializations of
register state in spapr_cpu_reset(), so move this handling there.

Current POWER cpus allow for a VRMA, a special mapping which describes a
guest's view of memory when in real mode (MMU off, from the guest's point
of view). Older cpus didn't have that which meant that to support a guest
a special host-contiguous region of memory was needed to give the guest its
Real Mode Area (RMA).
KVM used to provide special calls to allocate a contiguous RMA for those
cases. This was useful in the early days of KVM on Power to allow it to be
tested on PowerPC 970 chips as used in Macintosh G5 machines. Now, those
machines are so old as to be almost irrelevant.
The normal qemu deprecation process would require this to be marked
deprecated then removed in 2 releases. However, this can only be used
with corresponding support in the host kernel - which was dropped
years ago (in c17b98cf "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Remove code for PPC970
processors" of 2014-12-03 to be precise). Therefore it should be ok
to drop this immediately.
Just to be clear this only affects *KVM HV* guests with PowerPC 970,
and those already require an ancient host kernel. TCG and KVM PR
guests with PowerPC 970 should still work.

When constructing the "host" cpu class we modify whether the VMX and VSX
vector extensions and DFP (Decimal Floating Point) are available
based on whether KVM can support those instructions. This can depend on
policy in the host kernel as well as on the actual host cpu capabilities.
However, the way we probe for this is not very nice: we explicitly check
the host's device tree. That works in practice, but it's not really
correct, since the device tree is a property of the host kernel's platform
which we don't really know about. We get away with it because the only
modern POWER platforms happen to encode VMX, VSX and DFP availability in
the device tree in the same way.
Arguably we should have an explicit KVM capability for this, but we haven't
needed one so far. Barring specific KVM policies which don't yet exist,
each of these instruction classes will be available in the guest if and
only if they're available in the qemu userspace process. We can determine
that from the ELF AUX vector we're supplied with.

POWERPC_CPU_TYPE_SUFFIX and POWERPC_CPU_TYPE_NAME(model)
macroses like we do in x86.
Later POWERPC_CPU_TYPE_NAME() will be used to define default
cpu type per machine type and as bonus it will be consistent
and easy grep-able pattern across all other targets that I'm
plannig to treat the same way.

KVM now allows writing to KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT which has previously been
read only. Doing so causes KVM to act, for that VM, as if the host's
SMT mode was the given value. This is particularly important on Power
9 systems because their default value is 1, but they are able to
support values up to 8.
This patch introduces a way to control this capability via a new
machine property called VSMT ("Virtual SMT"). If the value is not set
on the command line a default is chosen that is, when possible,
compatible with legacy systems.
Note that the intialization of KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT has changed slightly
because it has changed (in KVM) from a global capability to a
VM-specific one. This won't cause a problem on older KVMs because VM
capabilities fall back to global ones.

The concept of a VCPU ID that differs from the CPU's index
(cpu->cpu_index) exists only within SPAPR machines so, move the
functions ppc_get_vcpu_id() and ppc_get_cpu_by_vcpu_id() into spapr.c
and rename them appropriately.

This field actually records the VCPU ID used by KVM and, although the

Commit d5fc133eed ("ppc: Rework CPU compatibility testing
across migration") changed the way cpu_post_load behaves with
the PVR setting, causing an unexpected bug in KVM-HV migrations
between hosts that are compatible (POWER8 and POWER8E, for example).
Even with pvr_match() returning true, the guest freezes right after
cpu_post_load. The reason is that the guest kernel can't handle a
different PVR value other that the running host in KVM_SET_SREGS.
In [1] it was discussed the possibility of a new KVM capability
that would indicate that the guest kernel can handle a different
PVR in KVM_SET_SREGS. Even if such feature is implemented, there is
still the problem with older kernels that will not have this capability
and will fail to migrate.
This patch implements a workaround for that scenario. If running
with KVM, check if the guest kernel does not have the capability
(named here as 'cap_ppc_pvr_compat'). If it doesn't, calls
kvmppc_is_pr() to see if the guest is running in KVM-HV. If all this
happens, set env->spr[SPR_PVR] to the same value as the current
host PVR. This ensures that we allow migrations with 'close enough'
PVRs to still work in KVM-HV but also makes the code ready for
this new KVM capability when it is done.
A new function called 'kvmppc_pvr_workaround_required' was created
to encapsulate the conditions said above and to avoid calling too
many kvm.c internals inside cpu_post_load.

[dwg: Fix for the case of using TCG on a PPC host]
Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
So far, qemu implements the PAPR Hash Page Table (HPT) resizing extension
with TCG. The same implementation will work with KVM PR, but we don't
currently allow that. For KVM HV we can only implement resizing with the
assistance of the host kernel, which needs a new capability and ioctl()s.
This patch adds support for testing the new KVM capability and implementing
the resize in terms of KVM facilities when necessary. If we're running on
a kernel which doesn't have the new capability flag at all, we fall back to
testing for PR vs. HV KVM using the same hack that we already use in a
number of places for older kernels.

This introduces stub implementations of the H_RESIZE_HPT_PREPARE and
H_RESIZE_HPT_COMMIT hypercalls which we hope to add in a PAPR
extension to allow run time resizing of a guest's hash page table. It
also adds a new machine property for controlling whether this new
facility is available.
For now we only allow resizing with TCG, allowing it with KVM will require
kernel changes as well.
Finally, it adds a new string to the hypertas property in the device
tree, advertising to the guest the availability of the HPT resizing
hypercalls. This is a tentative suggested value, and would need to be
standardized by PAPR before being merged.

When running KVM on POWER, we allow the user to pass "-cpu POWERx" instead
of "-cpu host". This is achieved by patching the ppc_cpu_aliases[] array
so that "POWERx" points to the CPU class with the same PVR as the host CPU.
This causes CPUs to be instantiated from this CPU class instead of the
TYPE_HOST_POWERPC_CPU class which is used with "-cpu host". These CPUs thus
miss all the KVM specific tuning from kvmppc_host_cpu_class_init().
This currently causes QEMU with "-cpu POWER9" to fail when running KVM on a
POWER9 DD1 host:
qemu-system-ppc64: Register sync failed... If you're using kvm-hv.ko, only
"-cpu host" is possible
kvm_init_vcpu failed: Invalid argument
Let's have the "POWERx" alias to point to TYPE_HOST_POWERPC_CPU directly,
so that "-cpu POWERx" instantiates CPUs from the same class as "-cpu host".

When running with KVM, we update the "family" CPU alias to point
to the right host CPU type, so that it for example possible to
use "-cpu POWER8" on a POWER8NVL host. However, the function for
printing the list of available CPU models is called earlier than
the KVM setup code, so the output of "-cpu help" is wrong in that
case. Since it would be somewhat ugly anyway to have different
help texts depending on whether "-enable-kvm" has been specified
or not, we should better always print the same text, so fix this
issue by printing "alias for preferred XXX CPU" instead.
