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.

On pSeries logical partitions, excepting the old POWER4-style full system
partitions, the guest does not have direct access to the hardware page
table. Instead, the pagetable exists in hypervisor memory, and the guest
must manipulate it with hypercalls.
However, our current pSeries emulation more closely resembles the old
style where the guest must set up and handle the pagetables itself. This
patch converts it to act like a modern partition.
This involves two things: first, the hash translation path is modified to
permit the has table to be stored externally to the emulated machine's
RAM. The pSeries machine init code configures the CPUs to use this mode.
Secondly, we emulate the PAPR hypercalls for manipulating the external
hashed page table.

Traditionally, the "segments" used for the two-stage translation used on
powerpc MMUs were 256MB in size. This was the only option on all hash
page table based 32-bit powerpc cpus, and on the earlier 64-bit hash page
table based cpus. However, newer 64-bit cpus also permit 1TB segments

Currently the path handling hash page table translation in get_segment()
has a mix of common and 32 or 64 bit specific code. However the
division is not done terribly well which results in a lot of messy code
flipping between common and divided paths.
This patch improves the organization, consolidating several divided paths
into one. This in turn allows simplification of some code in
get_segment(), removing a number of ugly interim variables.
This new factorization will also make it easier to add support for the 1T
segments added in newer CPUs.

Currently, get_segment() has a variable called hash. However it doesn't
(quite) get the hash value for the ppc hashed page table. Instead it
gets the hash shifted - effectively the offset of the hash bucket within
the hash page table.
As well, as being different to the normal use of plain "hash" in the
architecture documentation, this usage necessitates some awkward 32/64
dependent masks and shifts which clutter up the path in get_segment().
This patch alters the code to use raw hash values through get_segment()
including storing raw hashes instead of pte group offsets in the ctx
structure. This cleans up the path noticeably.
This does necessitate 32/64 dependent shifts when the hash values are
taken out of the ctx structure and used, but those paths already have
32/64 bit variants so this is less awkward than it was in get_segment().

On ppc machines with hash table MMUs, the special purpose register SDR1
contains both the base address of the encoded size (hashed) page tables.
At present, we interpret the SDR1 value within the address translation
path. But because the encodings of the size for 32-bit and 64-bit are
different this makes for a confusing branch on the MMU type with a bunch
of curly shifts and masks in the middle of the translate path.
This patch cleans things up by moving the interpretation on SDR1 into the
helper function handling the write to the register. This leaves a simple
pre-sanitized base address and mask for the hash table in the CPUState
structure which is easier to work with in the translation path.
This makes the translation path more readable. It addresses the FIXME
comment currently in the mtsdr1 helper, by validating the SDR1 value during
interpretation. Finally it opens the way for emulating a pSeries-style
partition where the hash table used for translation is not mapped into
the guests's RAM.

qemu already includes support for the popcntb instruction introduced
in POWER5 (although it doesn't actually allow you to choose POWER5).
However, the logic is slightly incorrect: it will generate results
truncated to 32-bits when the CPU is in 32-bit mode. This is not
normal for powerpc - generally arithmetic instructions on a 64-bit
powerpc cpu will generate full 64 bit results, it's just that only the
low 32 bits will be significant for condition codes.
This patch corrects this nit, which actually simplifies the code slightly.
In addition, this patch implements the popcntw and popcntd
instructions added in POWER7, in preparation for allowing POWER7 as an
emulated CPU.

For a 64-bit PowerPC target, qemu correctly implements translation
through the segment lookaside buffer. Likewise it supports the
slbmte instruction which is used to load entries into the SLB.
However, it does not emulate the slbmfee and slbmfev instructions
which read SLB entries back into registers. Because these are
only occasionally used in guests (mostly for debugging) we get
away with it.
However, given the recent SLB cleanups, it becomes quite easy to
implement these, and thereby allow, amongst other things, a guest
Linux to use xmon's command to dump the SLB.

PowerPC and POWER chips since the POWER4 and 970 have a special
hypervisor mode, and a corresponding form of the system call
instruction which traps to the hypervisor.
qemu currently has stub implementations of hypervisor mode. That
is, the outline is there to allow qemu to run a PowerPC hypervisor
under emulation. There are a number of details missing so this
won't actually work at present, but the idea is there.
What there is no provision at all, is for qemu to instead emulate
the hypervisor itself. That is to have hypercalls trap into qemu
and their result be emulated from qemu, rather than running
hypervisor code within the emulated system.
Hypervisor hardware aware KVM implementations are in the works and
it would be useful for debugging and development to also allow
full emulation of the same para-virtualized guests as such a KVM.
Therefore, this patch adds a hook which will allow a machine to
set up emulation of hypervisor calls.

Currently the SLB information when emulating a PowerPC 970 is
storeed in a structure with the unhelpfully named fields 'tmp'
and 'tmp64'. While the layout in these fields does match the
description of the SLB in the architecture document, it is not
convenient either for looking up the SLB, or for emulating the
slbmte instruction.
This patch, therefore, reorganizes the SLB entry structure to be
divided in the the "ESID related" and "VSID related" fields as
they are divided in instructions accessing the SLB.
In addition to making the code smaller and more readable, this will
make it easier to implement for the 1TB segments used in more
recent PowerPC chips.

On PPC we have a 64-bit time base. Usually (PPC32) this is accessed using
two separate 32 bit SPR accesses to SPR_TBU and SPR_TBL.
On PPC64 the SPR_TBL register acts as 64 bit though, so we get the full
64 bits as return value. If we only take the lower ones, fine. But Linux
wants to see all 64 bits or it breaks.

Most 64 bit architectures I'm aware of support running 32 bit code
of the same architecture as well.
So x86_64 can run i386 code easily and ppc64 can run ppc code.
Unfortunately, the current checks are pretty strict. So you can only
load e.g. an x86_64 elf binary on qemu-system-x86_64, but no i386 one.
This can get really annoying. I first encountered this issue with
my multiboot patch, where qemu-system-x86_64 was unable to load an
i386 elf binary because the elf loader rejected it.
The same thing happened again on PPC64 now. The firmware we're loading
is a PPC32 elf binary, as it's shared with PPC32. But the platform is
PPC64.
Right now there is a hack for this in the ppc cpu.h definition, that
simply sets the type to PPC32 in system emulation mode. While that
works fine for the firmware, it's no good if you also want to load a
PPC64 kernel with -kernel.
So in order to solve this mess, I figured the easiest way is to make
the elf loader aware of platforms that are backwards compatible. For
now I was only sure that x86_64 does i386 and ppc64 does ppc32, but
maybe there are other combinations too.
This patch is a prerequisite for having a working -kernel option on
PPC64.

Real 970 CPUs have the SLB not memory backed, but inside the CPU.
This breaks bridge mode for 970 for now, but at least keeps us from
