kvmppc_inject_interrupt does not implement LPCR[AIL]!=0 modes, which
can result in the guest receiving interrupts as if LPCR[AIL]=0
contrary to the ISA.
In practice, Linux guests cope with this deviation, but it should be
fixed.

"This is a frustratingly large batch at rc5. Some of these were sent
earlier but were missed by me due to being distracted by other things,
and some took a while to track down due to needing manual bisection on
old hardware. But still we clearly need to improve our testing of KVM,
and of 32-bit, so that we catch these earlier.
Summary: seven fixes, all for bugs introduced this cycle.
- The commit to add KASAN support broke booting on 32-bit SMP
machines, due to a refactoring that moved some setup out of the
secondary CPU path.
- A fix for another 32-bit SMP bug introduced by the fast syscall
entry implementation for 32-bit BOOKE. And a build fix for the same
commit.
- Our change to allow the DAWR to be force enabled on Power9
introduced a bug in KVM, where we clobber r3 leading to a host
crash.
- The same commit also exposed a previously unreachable bug in the
nested KVM handling of DAWR, which could lead to an oops in a
nested host.
- One of the DMA reworks broke the b43legacy WiFi driver on some
people's powermacs, fix it by enabling a 30-bit ZONE_DMA on 32-bit.
- A fix for TLB flushing in KVM introduced a new bug, as it neglected
to also flush the ERAT, this could lead to memory corruption in the
guest.

When a guest vcpu moves from one physical thread to another it is
necessary for the host to perform a tlb flush on the previous core if
another vcpu from the same guest is going to run there. This is because the
guest may use the local form of the tlb invalidation instruction meaning
stale tlb entries would persist where it previously ran. This is handled
on guest entry in kvmppc_check_need_tlb_flush() which calls
flush_guest_tlb() to perform the tlb flush.
Previously the generic radix__local_flush_tlb_lpid_guest() function was
used, however the functionality was reimplemented in flush_guest_tlb()
to avoid the trace_tlbie() call as the flushing may be done in real
mode. The reimplementation in flush_guest_tlb() was missing an erat
invalidation after flushing the tlb.
This lead to observable memory corruption in the guest due to the
caching of stale translations. Fix this by adding the erat invalidation.

When running on POWER9 with kvm_hv.indep_threads_mode = N and the host
in SMT1 mode, KVM will run guest VCPUs on offline secondary threads.
If those guests are in radix mode, we fail to load the LPID and flush
the TLB if necessary, leading to the guest crashing with an
unsupported MMU fault. This arises from commit 9a4506e11b97 ("KVM:
PPC: Book3S HV: Make radix handle process scoped LPID flush in C,
with relocation on", 2018-05-17), which didn't consider the case
where indep_threads_mode = N.
For simplicity, this makes the real-mode guest entry path flush the
TLB in the same place for both radix and hash guests, as we did before
9a4506e11b97, though the code is now C code rather than assembly code.
We also have the radix TLB flush open-coded rather than calling
radix__local_flush_tlb_lpid_guest(), because the TLB flush can be
called in real mode, and in real mode we don't want to invoke the
tracepoint code.

This replaces assembler code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S that checks
the kvm->arch.need_tlb_flush cpumask and optionally does a TLB flush
with C code in book3s_hv_builtin.c. Note that unlike the radix
version, the hash version doesn't do an explicit ERAT invalidation
because we will invalidate and load up the SLB before entering the
guest, and that will invalidate the ERAT.

Currently, the KVM code assumes that if the host kernel is using the
XIVE interrupt controller (the new interrupt controller that first
appeared in POWER9 systems), then the in-kernel XICS emulation will
use the XIVE hardware to deliver interrupts to the guest. However,
this only works when the host is running in hypervisor mode and has
full access to all of the XIVE functionality. It doesn't work in any
nested virtualization scenario, either with PR KVM or nested-HV KVM,
because the XICS-on-XIVE code calls directly into the native-XIVE
routines, which are not initialized and cannot function correctly
because they use OPAL calls, and OPAL is not available in a guest.
This means that using the in-kernel XICS emulation in a nested
hypervisor that is using XIVE as its interrupt controller will cause a
(nested) host kernel crash. To fix this, we change most of the places
where the current code calls xive_enabled() to select between the
XICS-on-XIVE emulation and the plain XICS emulation to call a new
function, xics_on_xive(), which returns false in a guest.
However, there is a further twist. The plain XICS emulation has some
functions which are used in real mode and access the underlying XICS
controller (the interrupt controller of the host) directly. In the
case of a nested hypervisor, this means doing XICS hypercalls
directly. When the nested host is using XIVE as its interrupt
controller, these hypercalls will fail. Therefore this also adds
checks in the places where the XICS emulation wants to access the
underlying interrupt controller directly, and if that is XIVE, makes
the code use the virtual mode fallback paths, which call generic
kernel infrastructure rather than doing direct XICS access.

cma_alloc() doesn't really support gfp flags other than __GFP_NOWARN, so
convert gfp_mask parameter to boolean no_warn parameter.
This will help to avoid giving false feeling that this function supports
standard gfp flags and callers can pass __GFP_ZERO to get zeroed buffer,
what has already been an issue: see commit dd65a941f6ba ("arm64:

Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate
pacas individually.
This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work
will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits
on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot
rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused.
This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross
CPU paca references, but those aren't too common.

This patch removes the restriction that a radix host can only run
radix guests, allowing us to run HPT (hashed page table) guests as
well. This is useful because it provides a way to run old guest
kernels that know about POWER8 but not POWER9.
Unfortunately, POWER9 currently has a restriction that all threads
in a given code must either all be in HPT mode, or all in radix mode.
This means that when entering a HPT guest, we have to obtain control
of all 4 threads in the core and get them to switch their LPIDR and
LPCR registers, even if they are not going to run a guest. On guest
exit we also have to get all threads to switch LPIDR and LPCR back
to host values.
To make this feasible, we require that KVM not be in the "independent
threads" mode, and that the CPU cores be in single-threaded mode from
the host kernel's perspective (only thread 0 online; threads 1, 2 and
3 offline). That allows us to use the same code as on POWER8 for
obtaining control of the secondary threads.
To manage the LPCR/LPIDR changes required, we extend the kvm_split_info
struct to contain the information needed by the secondary threads.
All threads perform a barrier synchronization (where all threads wait
for every other thread to reach the synchronization point) on guest
entry, both before and after loading LPCR and LPIDR. On guest exit,
they all once again perform a barrier synchronization both before
and after loading host values into LPCR and LPIDR.
Finally, it is also currently necessary to flush the entire TLB every
time we enter a HPT guest on a radix host. We do this on thread 0
with a loop of tlbiel instructions.

When running a guest on a POWER9 system with the in-kernel XICS
emulation disabled (for example by running QEMU with the parameter
"-machine pseries,kernel_irqchip=off"), the kernel does not pass
the XICS-related hypercalls such as H_CPPR up to userspace for
emulation there as it should.
The reason for this is that the real-mode handlers for these
hypercalls don't check whether a XICS device has been instantiated
before calling the xics-on-xive code. That code doesn't check
either, leading to potential NULL pointer dereferences because
vcpu->arch.xive_vcpu is NULL. Those dereferences won't cause an
exception in real mode but will lead to kernel memory corruption.
This fixes it by adding kvmppc_xics_enabled() checks before calling
the XICS functions.

At present, if an interrupt (i.e. an exception or trap) occurs in the
code where KVM is switching the MMU to or from guest context, we jump
to kvmppc_bad_host_intr, where we simply spin with interrupts disabled.
In this situation, it is hard to debug what happened because we get no
indication as to which interrupt occurred or where. Typically we get
a cascade of stall and soft lockup warnings from other CPUs.
In order to get more information for debugging, this adds code to
create a stack frame on the emergency stack and save register values
to it. We start half-way down the emergency stack in order to give
ourselves some chance of being able to do a stack trace on secondary
threads that are already on the emergency stack.
On POWER7 or POWER8, we then just spin, as before, because we don't
know what state the MMU context is in or what other threads are doing,
and we can't switch back to host context without coordinating with
other threads. On POWER9 we can do better; there we load up the host
MMU context and jump to C code, which prints an oops message to the
console and panics.

Since commit b009031f74da ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Take out virtual
core piggybacking code", 2016-09-15), we only have at most one
vcore per subcore. Previously, the fact that there might be more
than one vcore per subcore meant that we had the notion of a
"master vcore", which was the vcore that controlled thread 0 of
the subcore. We also needed a list per subcore in the core_info
struct to record which vcores belonged to each subcore. Now that
there can only be one vcore in the subcore, we can replace the
list with a simple pointer and get rid of the notion of the
master vcore (and in fact treat every vcore as a master vcore).
We can also get rid of the subcore_vm[] field in the core_info
struct since it is never read.

POWER9 running a radix guest will take some hypervisor interrupts
without going to real mode (turning off the MMU). This means that
early hypercall handlers may now be called in virtual mode. Most of
the handlers work just fine in both modes, but there are some that
can crash the host if called in virtual mode, notably the TCE (IOMMU)
hypercalls H_PUT_TCE, H_STUFF_TCE and H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT. These
already have both a real-mode and a virtual-mode version, so we
arrange for the real-mode version to return H_TOO_HARD for radix
guests, which will result in the virtual-mode version being called.
The other hypercall which is sensitive to the MMU mode is H_RANDOM.
It doesn't have a virtual-mode version, so this adds code to enable
it to be called in either mode.
An alternative solution was considered which would refuse to call any
of the early hypercall handlers when doing a virtual-mode exit from a
radix guest. However, the XICS-on-XIVE code depends on the XICS
hypercalls being handled early even for virtual-mode exits, because
the handlers need to be called before the XIVE vCPU state has been
pulled off the hardware. Therefore that solution would have become
quite invasive and complicated, and was rejected in favour of the
simpler, though less elegant, solution presented here.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD
The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel
XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben
Herrenschmidt.
POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt
Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly
to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention.
With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but
performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the
XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.

The XIVE interrupt controller is the new interrupt controller
found in POWER9. It supports advanced virtualization capabilities
among other things.
Currently we use a set of firmware calls that simulate the old
"XICS" interrupt controller but this is fairly inefficient.
This adds the framework for using XIVE along with a native
backend which OPAL for configuration. Later, a backend allowing
the use in a KVM or PowerVM guest will also be provided.
This disables some fast path for interrupts in KVM when XIVE is
enabled as these rely on the firmware emulation code which is no
longer available when the XIVE is used natively by Linux.
A latter patch will make KVM also directly exploit the XIVE, thus
recovering the lost performance (and more).

The difference between kvm_alloc_hpt() and kvmppc_alloc_hpt() is not at
all obvious from the name. In practice kvmppc_alloc_hpt() allocates an HPT
by whatever means, and calls kvm_alloc_hpt() which will attempt to allocate
it with CMA only.
To make this less confusing, rename kvm_alloc_hpt() to kvm_alloc_hpt_cma().
Similarly, kvm_release_hpt() is renamed kvm_free_hpt_cma().

If we allow LPCR[AIL] to be set for radix guests, then interrupts from
the guest to the host can be delivered by the hardware with relocation
on, and thus the code path starting at kvmppc_interrupt_hv can be
executed in virtual mode (MMU on) for radix guests (previously it was
only ever executed in real mode).
Most of the code is indifferent to whether the MMU is on or off, but
the calls to OPAL that use the real-mode OPAL entry code need to
be switched to use the virtual-mode code instead. The affected
calls are the calls to the OPAL XICS emulation functions in
kvmppc_read_one_intr() and related functions. We test the MSR[IR]
bit to detect whether we are in real or virtual mode, and call the
opal_rm_* or opal_* function as appropriate.
The other place that depends on the MMU being off is the optimization
where the guest exit code jumps to the external interrupt vector or
hypervisor doorbell interrupt vector, or returns to its caller (which
is __kvmppc_vcore_entry). If the MMU is on and we are returning to
the caller, then we don't need to use an rfid instruction since the
MMU is already on; a simple blr suffices. If there is an external
or hypervisor doorbell interrupt to handle, we branch to the
relocation-on version of the interrupt vector.

POWER9 includes a new interrupt controller, called XIVE, which is
quite different from the XICS interrupt controller on POWER7 and
POWER8 machines. KVM-HV accesses the XICS directly in several places
in order to send and clear IPIs and handle interrupts from PCI
devices being passed through to the guest.
In order to make the transition to XIVE easier, OPAL firmware will
include an emulation of XICS on top of XIVE. Access to the emulated
XICS is via OPAL calls. The one complication is that the EOI
(end-of-interrupt) function can now return a value indicating that
another interrupt is pending; in this case, the XIVE will not signal
an interrupt in hardware to the CPU, and software is supposed to
acknowledge the new interrupt without waiting for another interrupt
to be delivered in hardware.
This adapts KVM-HV to use the OPAL calls on machines where there is
no XICS hardware. When there is no XICS, we look for a device-tree
node with "ibm,opal-intc" in its compatible property, which is how
OPAL indicates that it provides XICS emulation.
In order to handle the EOI return value, kvmppc_read_intr() has
become kvmppc_read_one_intr(), with a boolean variable passed by
reference which can be set by the EOI functions to indicate that
another interrupt is pending. The new kvmppc_read_intr() keeps
calling kvmppc_read_one_intr() until there are no more interrupts
to process. The return value from kvmppc_read_intr() is the
largest non-zero value of the returns from kvmppc_read_one_intr().

In existing real mode ICP code, when updating the virtual ICP
state, if there is a required action that cannot be completely
handled in real mode, as for instance, a VCPU needs to be woken
up, flags are set in the ICP to indicate the required action.
This is checked when returning from hypercalls to decide whether
the call needs switch back to the host where the action can be
performed in virtual mode. Note that if h_ipi_redirect is enabled,
real mode code will first try to message a free host CPU to
complete this job instead of returning the host to do it ourselves.
Currently, the real mode PCI passthrough interrupt handling code
checks if any of these flags are set and simply returns to the host.
This is not good enough as the trap value (0x500) is treated as an
external interrupt by the host code. It is only when the trap value
is a hypercall that the host code searches for and acts on unfinished
work by calling kvmppc_xics_rm_complete.
This patch introduces a special trap BOOK3S_INTERRUPT_HV_RM_HARD
which is returned by KVM if there is unfinished business to be
completed in host virtual mode after handling a PCI passthrough
interrupt. The host checks for this special interrupt condition
and calls into the kvmppc_xics_rm_complete, which is made an
exported function for this reason.

Currently, KVM switches back to the host to handle any external
interrupt (when the interrupt is received while running in the
guest). This patch updates real-mode KVM to check if an interrupt
is generated by a passthrough adapter that is owned by this guest.
If so, the real mode KVM will directly inject the corresponding
virtual interrupt to the guest VCPU's ICS and also EOI the interrupt
in hardware. In short, the interrupt is handled entirely in real
mode in the guest context without switching back to the host.
In some rare cases, the interrupt cannot be completely handled in
real mode, for instance, a VCPU that is sleeping needs to be woken
up. In this case, KVM simply switches back to the host with trap
reason set to 0x500. This works, but it is clearly not very efficient.
A following patch will distinguish this case and handle it
correctly in the host. Note that we can use the existing
check_too_hard() routine even though we are not in a hypercall to
determine if there is unfinished business that needs to be
completed in host virtual mode.
The patch assumes that the mapping between hardware interrupt IRQ
and virtual IRQ to be injected to the guest already exists for the
PCI passthrough interrupts that need to be handled in real mode.
If the mapping does not exist, KVM falls back to the default
existing behavior.
The KVM real mode code reads mappings from the mapped array in the
passthrough IRQ map without taking any lock. We carefully order the
loads and stores of the fields in the kvmppc_irq_map data structure
using memory barriers to avoid an inconsistent mapping being seen by
the reader. Thus, although it is possible to miss a map entry, it is
not possible to read a stale value.

Modify kvmppc_read_intr to make it a C function. Because it is called
from kvmppc_check_wake_reason, any of the assembler code that calls
either kvmppc_read_intr or kvmppc_check_wake_reason now has to assume
that the volatile registers might have been modified.
This also adds in the optimization of clearing saved_xirr in the case
where we completely handle and EOI an IPI. Without this, the next
device interrupt will require two trips through the host interrupt
handling code.
[paulus@ozlabs.org - made kvmppc_check_wake_reason create a stack frame
when it is calling kvmppc_read_intr, which means we can set r12 to

This patch defines the data structures to support the setting up
of host side operations while running in real mode in the guest,
and also the functions to allocate and free it.
The operations are for now limited to virtual XICS operations.
Currently, we have only defined one operation in the data
structure:
- Wake up a VCPU sleeping in the host when it
receives a virtual interrupt
The operations are assigned at the core level because PowerKVM
requires that the host run in SMT off mode. For each core,
we will need to manage its state atomically - where the state
is defined by:
1. Is the core running in the host?
2. Is there a Real Mode (RM) operation pending on the host?
Currently, core state is only managed at the whole-core level
even when the system is in split-core mode. This just limits
the number of free or "available" cores in the host to perform
any host-side operations.
The kvmppc_host_rm_core.rm_data allows any data to be passed by
KVM in real mode to the host core along with the operation to
be performed.
The kvmppc_host_rm_ops structure is allocated the very first time
a guest VM is started. Initial core state is also set - all online
cores are in the host. This structure is never deleted, not even
when there are no active guests. However, it needs to be freed
when the module is unloaded because the kvmppc_host_rm_ops_hv
can contain function pointers to kvm-hv.ko functions for the
different supported host operations.

This builds on the ability to run more than one vcore on a physical
core by using the micro-threading (split-core) modes of the POWER8
chip. Previously, only vcores from the same VM could be run together,
and (on POWER8) only if they had just one thread per core. With the
ability to split the core on guest entry and unsplit it on guest exit,
we can run up to 8 vcpu threads from up to 4 different VMs, and we can
run multiple vcores with 2 or 4 vcpus per vcore.
Dynamic micro-threading is only available if the static configuration
of the cores is whole-core mode (unsplit), and only on POWER8.
To manage this, we introduce a new kvm_split_mode struct which is
shared across all of the subcores in the core, with a pointer in the
paca on each thread. In addition we extend the core_info struct to
have information on each subcore. When deciding whether to add a
vcore to the set already on the core, we now have two possibilities:
(a) piggyback the vcore onto an existing subcore, or (b) start a new
subcore.
Currently, when any vcpu needs to exit the guest and switch to host
virtual mode, we interrupt all the threads in all subcores and switch
the core back to whole-core mode. It may be possible in future to
allow some of the subcores to keep executing in the guest while
subcore 0 switches to the host, but that is not implemented in this
patch.
This adds a module parameter called dynamic_mt_modes which controls
which micro-threading (split-core) modes the code will consider, as a
bitmap. In other words, if it is 0, no micro-threading mode is
considered; if it is 2, only 2-way micro-threading is considered; if
it is 4, only 4-way, and if it is 6, both 2-way and 4-way
micro-threading mode will be considered. The default is 6.
With this, we now have secondary threads which are the primary thread
for their subcore and therefore need to do the MMU switch. These
threads will need to be started even if they have no vcpu to run, so
we use the vcore pointer in the PACA rather than the vcpu pointer to
trigger them.
It is now possible for thread 0 to find that an exit has been
requested before it gets to switch the subcore state to the guest. In
that case we haven't added the guest's timebase offset to the
timebase, so we need to be careful not to subtract the offset in the
guest exit path. In fact we just skip the whole path that switches
back to host context, since we haven't switched to the guest context.

When running a virtual core of a guest that is configured with fewer
threads per core than the physical cores have, the extra physical
threads are currently unused. This makes it possible to use them to
run one or more other virtual cores from the same guest when certain
conditions are met. This applies on POWER7, and on POWER8 to guests
with one thread per virtual core. (It doesn't apply to POWER8 guests
with multiple threads per vcore because they require a 1-1 virtual to
physical thread mapping in order to be able to use msgsndp and the
TIR.)
The idea is that we maintain a list of preempted vcores for each
physical cpu (i.e. each core, since the host runs single-threaded).
Then, when a vcore is about to run, it checks to see if there are
any vcores on the list for its physical cpu that could be
piggybacked onto this vcore's execution. If so, those additional
vcores are put into state VCORE_PIGGYBACK and their runnable VCPU
threads are started as well as the original vcore, which is called
the master vcore.
After the vcores have exited the guest, the extra ones are put back
onto the preempted list if any of their VCPUs are still runnable and
not idle.
This means that vcpu->arch.ptid is no longer necessarily the same as
the physical thread that the vcpu runs on. In order to make it easier
for code that wants to send an IPI to know which CPU to target, we
now store that in a new field in struct vcpu_arch, called thread_cpu.

This uses msgsnd where possible for signalling other threads within
the same core on POWER8 systems, rather than IPIs through the XICS
interrupt controller. This includes waking secondary threads to run
the guest, the interrupts generated by the virtual XICS, and the
interrupts to bring the other threads out of the guest when exiting.
Aggregated statistics from debugfs across vcpus for a guest with 32
vcpus, 8 threads/vcore, running on a POWER8, show this before the
change:
rm_entry: 3387.6ns (228 - 86600, 1008969 samples)
rm_exit: 4561.5ns (12 - 3477452, 1009402 samples)
rm_intr: 1660.0ns (12 - 553050, 3600051 samples)
and this after the change:
rm_entry: 3060.1ns (212 - 65138, 953873 samples)
rm_exit: 4244.1ns (12 - 9693408, 954331 samples)
rm_intr: 1342.3ns (12 - 1104718, 3405326 samples)
for a test of booting Fedora 20 big-endian to the login prompt.
The time taken for a H_PROD hcall (which is handled in the host
kernel) went down from about 35 microseconds to about 16 microseconds
with this change.
The noinline added to kvmppc_run_core turned out to be necessary for
good performance, at least with gcc 4.9.2 as packaged with Fedora 21
and a little-endian POWER8 host.

Currently, the entry_exit_count field in the kvmppc_vcore struct
contains two 8-bit counts, one of the threads that have started entering
the guest, and one of the threads that have started exiting the guest.
This changes it to an entry_exit_map field which contains two bitmaps
of 8 bits each. The advantage of doing this is that it gives us a
bitmap of which threads need to be signalled when exiting the guest.
That means that we no longer need to use the trick of setting the
HDEC to 0 to pull the other threads out of the guest, which led in
some cases to a spurious HDEC interrupt on the next guest entry.

Some PowerNV systems include a hardware random-number generator.
This HWRNG is present on POWER7+ and POWER8 chips and is capable of
generating one 64-bit random number every microsecond. The random
numbers are produced by sampling a set of 64 unstable high-frequency
oscillators and are almost completely entropic.
PAPR defines an H_RANDOM hypercall which guests can use to obtain one
64-bit random sample from the HWRNG. This adds a real-mode
implementation of the H_RANDOM hypercall. This hypercall was
implemented in real mode because the latency of reading the HWRNG is
generally small compared to the latency of a guest exit and entry for
all the threads in the same virtual core.
Userspace can detect the presence of the HWRNG and the H_RANDOM
implementation by querying the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG capability. The
H_RANDOM hypercall implementation will only be invoked when the guest
does an H_RANDOM hypercall if userspace first enables the in-kernel
H_RANDOM implementation using the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.

Currently the H_CONFER hcall is implemented in kernel virtual mode,
meaning that whenever a guest thread does an H_CONFER, all the threads
in that virtual core have to exit the guest. This is bad for
performance because it interrupts the other threads even if they
are doing useful work.
The H_CONFER hcall is called by a guest VCPU when it is spinning on a
spinlock and it detects that the spinlock is held by a guest VCPU that
is currently not running on a physical CPU. The idea is to give this
VCPU's time slice to the holder VCPU so that it can make progress
towards releasing the lock.
To avoid having the other threads exit the guest unnecessarily,
we add a real-mode implementation of H_CONFER that checks whether
the other threads are doing anything. If all the other threads
are idle (i.e. in H_CEDE) or trying to confer (i.e. in H_CONFER),
it returns H_TOO_HARD which causes a guest exit and allows the
H_CONFER to be handled in virtual mode.
Otherwise it spins for a short time (up to 10 microseconds) to give
other threads the chance to observe that this thread is trying to
confer. The spin loop also terminates when any thread exits the guest
or when all other threads are idle or trying to confer. If the
timeout is reached, the H_CONFER returns H_SUCCESS. In this case the
guest VCPU will recheck the spinlock word and most likely call
H_CONFER again.
This also improves the implementation of the H_CONFER virtual mode
handler. If the VCPU is part of a virtual core (vcore) which is
runnable, there will be a 'runner' VCPU which has taken responsibility
for running the vcore. In this case we yield to the runner VCPU
rather than the target VCPU.
We also introduce a check on the target VCPU's yield count: if it
differs from the yield count passed to H_CONFER, the target VCPU
has run since H_CONFER was called and may have already released
the lock. This check is required by PAPR.
