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.

In order to enable TCE operations support in KVM, we have to inform
the KVM about VFIO groups being attached to specific LIOBNs;
the necessary bits are implemented already by IOMMU MR and VFIO.
This defines get_attr() for the SPAPR TCE IOMMU MR which makes VFIO
call the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE ioctl and establish
LIOBN-to-IOMMU link.
This changes spapr_tce_set_need_vfio() to avoid TCE table reallocation

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.
Once reworked like this, there are no more callers for kvmppc_get_vmx() and
kvmppc_get_dfp() so remove them.

When running with KVM PR, if a new HPT is allocated we need to inform
KVM about the HPT address and size. This is currently done by hacking
the value of SDR1 and pushing it to KVM in several places.
Also, migration breaks the guest since it is very unlikely the HPT has
the same address in source and destination, but we push the incoming
value of SDR1 to KVM anyway.
This patch introduces a new virtual hypervisor hook so that the spapr
code can provide the correct value of SDR1 to be pushed to KVM each
time kvmppc_put_books_sregs() is called.
It allows to get rid of all the hacking in the spapr/kvmppc code and
it fixes migration of nested KVM PR.

The use of KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD is open-coded in kvmppc_read_hptes()
and kvmppc_write_hpte().
This patch modifies kvmppc_get_htab_fd() so that it can be used
everywhere we need to access the in-kernel htab:
- add an index argument
=> only kvmppc_read_hptes() passes an actual index, all other users
pass 0
- add an errp argument to propagate error messages to the caller.
=> spapr migration code prints the error
=> hpte helpers pass &error_abort to keep the current behavior
of hw_error()
While here, this also fixes a bug in kvmppc_write_hpte() so that it
opens the htab fd for writing instead of reading as it currently does.
This never broke anything because we currently never call this code,
as explained in the changelog of commit c1385933804bb:
"This support updating htab managed by the hypervisor. Currently
we don't have any user for this feature. This actually bring the

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.

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.

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 a 'pseries' guest is running with KVM-HV, the guest's hashed page
table (HPT) is stored within the host kernel, so it is not directly
accessible to qemu. Most of the time, qemu doesn't need to access it:
we're using the hardware MMU, and KVM itself implements the guest
hypercalls for manipulating the HPT.
However, qemu does need access to the in-KVM HPT to implement
get_phys_page_debug() for the benefit of the gdbstub, and maybe for
other debug operations.
To allow this, 7c43bca "target-ppc: Fix page table lookup with kvm
enabled" added kvmppc_hash64_read_pteg() to target/ppc/kvm.c to read
in a batch of HPTEs from the KVM table. Unfortunately, there are a
couple of problems with this:
First, the name of the function implies it always reads a whole PTEG
from the HPT, but in fact in some cases it's used to grab individual
HPTEs (which ends up pulling 8 HPTEs, not aligned to a PTEG from the
kernel).
Second, and more importantly, the code to read the HPTEs from KVM is
simply wrong, in general. The data from the fd that KVM provides is
designed mostly for compact migration rather than this sort of one-off
access, and so needs some decoding for this purpose. The current code
will work in some cases, but if there are invalid HPTEs then it will
not get sane results.
This patch rewrite the HPTE reading function to have a simpler
interface (just read n HPTEs into a caller provided buffer), and to
correctly decode the stream from the kernel.
For consistency we also clean up the similar function for altering
HPTEs within KVM (introduced in c138593 "target-ppc: Update
ppc_hash64_store_hpte to support updating in-kernel htab").

On POWER, the valid page sizes that the guest can use are bound
to the CPU and not to the memory region. QEMU already has some
fancy logic to find out the right maximum memory size to tell
it to the guest during boot (see getrampagesize() in the file
target/ppc/kvm.c for more information).
However, once we're booted and the guest is using huge pages
already, it is currently still possible to hot-plug memory regions
that does not support huge pages - which of course does not work
on POWER, since the guest thinks that it is possible to use huge
pages everywhere. The KVM_RUN ioctl will then abort with -EFAULT,
QEMU spills out a not very helpful error message together with
a register dump and the user is annoyed that the VM unexpectedly
died.
To avoid this situation, we should check the page size of hot-plugged
DIMMs to see whether it is possible to use it in the current VM.
If it does not fit, we can print out a better error message and
refuse to add it, so that the VM does not die unexpectely and the
user has a second chance to plug a DIMM with a matching memory
backend instead.
