When new work is created that requires attention from the hypervisor
(e.g., to inject an interrupt into the guest), fast_vcpu_kick is used to
pull the target vcpu out of the guest if it may have been running.
Therefore the work creation side looks like this:
vcpu->arch.doorbell_request = 1;
kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv(vcpu) {
smp_mb();
cpu = vcpu->cpu;
if (cpu != -1)
send_ipi(cpu);
}
And the guest entry side *should* look like this:
vcpu->cpu = smp_processor_id();
smp_mb();
if (vcpu->arch.doorbell_request) {
// do something (abort entry or inject doorbell etc)
}
But currently the store and load are flipped, so it is possible for the
entry to see no doorbell pending, and the doorbell creation misses the
store to set cpu, resulting lost work (or at least delayed until the
next guest exit).
Fix this by reordering the entry operations and adding a smp_mb
between them. The P8 path appears to have a similar race which is
commented but not addressed yet.

At the moment KVM on PPC creates 4 types of entries under the kvm debugfs:
1) "%pid-%fd" per a KVM instance (for all platforms);
2) "vm%pid" (for PPC Book3s HV KVM);
3) "vm%u_vcpu%u_timing" (for PPC Book3e KVM);
4) "kvm-xive-%p" (for XIVE PPC Book3s KVM, the same for XICS);
The problem with this is that multiple VMs per process is not allowed for
2) and 3) which makes it possible for userspace to trigger errors when
creating duplicated debugfs entries.
This merges all these into 1).
This defines kvm_arch_create_kvm_debugfs() similar to
kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs().
This defines 2 hooks in kvmppc_ops that allow specific KVM implementations
add necessary entries, this adds the _e500 suffix to
kvmppc_create_vcpu_debugfs_e500() to make it clear what platform it is for.
This makes use of already existing kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs() on PPC.
This removes no more used debugfs_dir pointers from PPC kvm_arch structs.
This stops removing vcpu entries as once created vcpus stay around
for the entire life of a VM and removed when the KVM instance is closed,
see commit d56f5136b010 ("KVM: let kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs clean up vCPU
debugfs directories").

The L0 is storing HFSCR requested by the L1 for the L2 in struct
kvm_nested_guest when the L1 requests a vCPU enter L2. kvm_nested_guest
is not a per-vCPU structure. Hilarity ensues.
Fix it by moving the nested hfscr into the vCPU structure together with
the other per-vCPU nested fields.

Use kvm_arch_vcpu_get_wait() to get a vCPU's rcuwait object instead of
using vcpu->wait directly in kvmhv_run_single_vcpu(). Functionally, this
is a nop as vcpu->arch.waitp is guaranteed to point at vcpu->wait. But
that is not obvious at first glance, and a future change coming in via
the KVM tree, commit 510958e99721 ("KVM: Force PPC to define its own
rcuwait object"), will hide vcpu->wait from architectures that define
__KVM_HAVE_ARCH_WQP to prevent generic KVM from attepting to wake a vCPU
with the wrong rcuwait object.

The current memslot code uses a (reverse gfn-ordered) memslot array for
keeping track of them.
Because the memslot array that is currently in use cannot be modified
every memslot management operation (create, delete, move, change flags)
has to make a copy of the whole array so it has a scratch copy to work on.
Strictly speaking, however, it is only necessary to make copy of the
memslot that is being modified, copying all the memslots currently present
is just a limitation of the array-based memslot implementation.
Two memslot sets, however, are still needed so the VM continues to run
on the currently active set while the requested operation is being
performed on the second, currently inactive one.
In order to have two memslot sets, but only one copy of actual memslots
it is necessary to split out the memslot data from the memslot sets.
The memslots themselves should be also kept independent of each other
so they can be individually added or deleted.
These two memslot sets should normally point to the same set of
memslots. They can, however, be desynchronized when performing a
memslot management operation by replacing the memslot to be modified
by its copy. After the operation is complete, both memslot sets once
again point to the same, common set of memslot data.
This commit implements the aforementioned idea.
For tracking of gfns an ordinary rbtree is used since memslots cannot
overlap in the guest address space and so this data structure is
sufficient for ensuring that lookups are done quickly.
The "last used slot" mini-caches (both per-slot set one and per-vCPU one),
that keep track of the last found-by-gfn memslot, are still present in the
new code.

For PPC HV, get the number of pages directly from the new memslot instead
of computing the same from the userspace memory region, and explicitly
check for !DELETE instead of inferring the same when toggling mmio_update.
The motivation for these changes is to avoid referencing the @mem param
so that it can be dropped in a future commit.

Pass the "old" slot to kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() and force arch
code to handle propagating arch specific data from "new" to "old" when
necessary. This is a baby step towards dynamically allocating "new" from
the get go, and is a (very) minor performance boost on x86 due to not
unnecessarily copying arch data.
For PPC HV, copy the rmap in the !CREATE and !DELETE paths, i.e. for MOVE
and FLAGS_ONLY. This is functionally a nop as the previous behavior
would overwrite the pointer for CREATE, and eventually discard/ignore it
for DELETE.
For x86, copy the arch data only for FLAGS_ONLY changes. Unlike PPC HV,
x86 needs to reallocate arch data in the MOVE case as the size of x86's
allocations depend on the alignment of the memslot's gfn.
Opportunistically tweak kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region()'s param order to
match the "commit" prototype.

This silences the warning by checking the limit before calling vzalloc()

cpu_in_guest is set to determine if a CPU needs to be IPI'ed to exit
the guest and notice the need_tlb_flush bit.
This can be implemented as a global per-CPU pointer to the currently
running guest instead of per-guest cpumasks, saving 2 atomics per
entry/exit. P7/8 doesn't require cpu_in_guest, nor does a nested HV
(only the L0 does), so move it to the P9 HV path.

Use the existing TLB flushing logic to IPI the previous CPU and run the
necessary barriers before running a guest vCPU on a new physical CPU,
to do the necessary radix GTSE barriers for handling the case of an
interrupted guest tlbie sequence.
This requires the vCPU TLB flush sequence that is currently just done
on one thread, to be expanded to ensure the other threads execute a
ptesync, because causing them to exit the guest will no longer cause a
ptesync by itself.
This results in more IPIs than the TLB flush logic requires, but it's
a significant win for common case scheduling when the vCPU remains on
the same physical CPU.
This saves about 520 cycles (nearly 10%) on a guest entry+exit micro
benchmark on a POWER9.

(stopped) when exiting the guest, and SPR values set when entering the
guest to ensure it can't cause a covert channel or otherwise cause other
guests or the host to misbehave.
So prevent guest access to the PMU with HFSCR[PM] if pmcregs_in_use is
clear, and avoid the PMU SPR access on every partition switch. Guests
that set pmcregs_in_use incorrectly or when first setting it and using
the PMU will take a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt that will
bring in the PMU SPRs.

Rather than guest/host save/retsore functions, implement context switch
functions that take care of details like the VPA update for nested.
The reason to split these kind of helpers into explicit save/load
functions is mainly to schedule SPR access nicely, but PMU is a special
case where the load requires mtSPR (to stop counters) and other
difficulties, so there's less possibility to schedule those nicely. The
SPR accesses also have side-effects if the PMU is running, and in later
changes we keep the host PMU running as long as possible so this code
can be better profiled, which also complicates scheduling.

KVM PMU management code looks for particular frozen/disabled bits in
the PMU registers so it knows whether it must clear them when coming
out of a guest or not. Setting this up helps KVM make these optimisations
without getting confused. Longer term the better approach might be to
move guest/host PMU switching to the perf subsystem.

Provide a config option that controls the workaround added by commit
63279eeb7f93 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Always save guest pmu for guest
capable of nesting"). The option defaults to y for now, but is expected
to go away within a few releases.
Nested capable guests running with the earlier commit 178266389794
("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV Nested: Reflect guest PMU in-use to L0 when guest
SPRs are live") will now indicate the PMU in-use status of their guests,
which means the parent does not need to unconditionally save the PMU for
nested capable guests.
After this latest round of performance optimisations, this option costs
about 540 cycles or 10% entry/exit performance on a POWER9 nested-capable
guest.

HV interrupts may be taken with the MMU enabled when radix guests are
running. Enable LPCR[HAIL] on ISA v3.1 processors for radix guests.
Make this depend on the host LPCR[HAIL] being enabled. Currently that is
always enabled, but having this test means any issue that might require
LPCR[HAIL] to be disabled in the host will not have to be duplicated in
KVM.
This optimisation takes 1380 cycles off a NULL hcall entry+exit micro
benchmark on a POWER10.

Rather than have KVM look up the host timer and fiddle with the
irq-work internal details, have the powerpc/time.c code provide a
function for KVM to re-arm the Linux timer code when exiting a
guest.
This is implementation has an improvement over existing code of
marking a decrementer interrupt as soft-pending if a timer has
expired, rather than setting DEC to a -ve value, which tended to
cause host timers to take two interrupts (first hdec to exit the
guest, then the immediate dec).
