Alexander Graf 1c53acccee PPC: move TLBs to their own arrays
Until now, we've created a union over multiple different TLB types and
allocated that union. While it's a waste of memory (and cache) to allocate
TLB information for a TLB type with much information when you only need
little, it also inflicts another issue.

With the new KVM API, we can now share the TLB between KVM and qemu, but
for that to work we need to have both be in the same layout. We can't just
stretch it over to fit some internal different TLB representation.

Hence this patch moves all TLB types to their own array, allowing us to only
address and allocate exactly the boundaries required for the specific TLB
type at hand.

Alexander Graf d1e256fe47 PPC: E500: Use MAS registers instead of internal TLB representation
The natural format for e500 cores to do TLB manipulation with are the MAS
registers. Instead of converting them into some internal representation
and back again when the guest reads them, we can just keep the data
identical to the way the guest passed it to us.

The main advantage of this approach is that we're getting closer to being
able to share MMU data with KVM using shared memory, so that we don't need
to copy lots of MMU data back and forth all the time. For this to work
however, another patch is required that gets rid of the TLB union, as that
destroys our memory layout that needs to be identical with the kernel one.

David Gibson decb471488 Fix a bug in mtsr/mtsrin emulation on ppc64
Early ppc64 CPUs include a hack to partially simulate the ppc32 segment
registers, by translating writes to them into writes to the SLB.  This is
not used by any current Linux kernel, but it is used by the openbios used
in the qemu mac99 model.

Commit 81762d6dd0, cleaning up the SLB
handling introduced a bug in this code, breaking the openbios currently in
qemu.  Specifically, there was an off by one error bitshuffling the
register format used by mtsr into the format needed for the SLB load,
causing the flag bits to end up in the wrong place.  This caused the
storage keys to be wrong under openbios, meaning that the translation code
incorrectly thought a legitimate access was a permission violation.

This patch fixes the bug, at the same time it fixes some build bug in the
MMU debugging code (only exposed when DEBUG_MMU is enabled).

Alexander Graf a5858d7af0 PPC: Add another 64 bits to instruction feature mask
To enable quick runtime detection of instruction groups to the currently
selected CPU emulation, we have a feature mask of what exactly the respective
instruction supports.

This feature mask is 64 bits long and we just successfully exceeded those 64
bits. To add more features, we need to think of something.

The easiest solution that came to my mind was to simply add another 64 bits
that we can also match on. Since the comparison is only done on start of the
qemu process to generate an internal opcode calling table, we should be fine
on any performance penalties here.

Classic/server ppc has had SREGS for a while now (though I think not

Also, don't write random stack state into the non-PVR sregs fields --
have kvm fill it in first.

be tested here.  However, we will want a way for platform code to request

David Gibson 3601ff1173 Use existing helper function to implement popcntd instruction
The recent patches adding partial support for POWER7 cpu emulation included
implementing the popcntd instruction.  The support for this was open coded,
but host-utils.h already included a function implementing an equivalent
population count function, which uses a gcc builtin (which can use special
host instructions) if available.

This patch makes the popcntd implementation use the existing, potentially
faster, implementation.

David Gibson ed120055c7 Implement PAPR VPA functions for pSeries shared processor partitions
Shared-processor partitions are those where a CPU is time-sliced between
partitions, rather than being permanently dedicated to a single
partition.  qemu emulated partitions, since they are just scheduled with
the qemu user process, behave mostly like shared processor partitions.

In order to better support shared processor partitions (splpar), PAPR
defines the "VPA" (Virtual Processor Area), a shared memory communication
channel between the hypervisor and partitions.  There are also two
additional shared memory communication areas for specialized purposes
associated with the VPA.

A VPA is not essential for operating an splpar, though it can be necessary
for obtaining accurate performance measurements in the presence of
runtime partition switching.

Most importantly, however, the VPA is a prerequisite for PAPR's H_CEDE,
hypercall, which allows a partition OS to give up it's shared processor
timeslices to other partitions when idle.

This patch implements the VPA and H_CEDE hypercalls in qemu.  We don't
implement any of the more advanced statistics which can be communicated
through the VPA.  However, this is enough to make normal pSeries kernels
do an effective power-save idle on an emulated pSeries, significantly
reducing the host load of a qemu emulated pSeries running an idle guest OS.

Ben Herrenschmidt b45d63b62f Implement PAPR CRQ hypercalls
This patch implements the infrastructure and hypercalls necessary for the
PAPR specified CRQ (Command Request Queue) mechanism.  This general
request queueing system is used by many of the PAPR virtual IO devices,
including the virtual scsi adapter.
