Currently, rebooting a pseries nested qemu-kvm guest (L2) results in
below error as L1 qemu sends PVR value 'arch_compat' == 0 via
ppc_set_compat ioctl. This triggers a condition failure in
kvmppc_set_arch_compat() resulting in an EINVAL.
qemu-system-ppc64: Unable to set CPU compatibility mode in KVM: Invalid
argument
Also, a value of 0 for arch_compat generally refers the default
compatibility of the host. But, arch_compat, being a Guest Wide Element
in nested API v2, cannot be set to 0 in GSB as PowerVM (L0) expects a
non-zero value. A value of 0 triggers a kernel trap during a reboot and
consequently causes it to fail:

This patch updates kvmppc_set_arch_compat() to use the host PVR value if
'compat_pvr' == 0 indicating that qemu doesn't want to enforce any
specific PVR compat mode.
The relevant part of the code might need a rework if PowerVM implements
a support for `arch_compat == 0` in nestedv2 API.

In the nestedv2 case, the L1 may register the L2's VPA with the L0. This
allows the L0 to manage the L2's dispatch count, as well as enable
possible performance optimisations by seeing if certain resources are
not being used by the L2 (such as the PMCs).
Use the H_GUEST_SET_STATE call to inform the L0 of the L2's VPA
address. This can not be done in the H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN input buffer.

A series of hcalls have been added to the PAPR which allow a regular
guest partition to create and manage guest partitions of its own. KVM
already had an interface that allowed this on powernv platforms. This
existing interface will now be called "nestedv1". The newly added PAPR
interface will be called "nestedv2". PHYP will support the nestedv2
interface. At this time the host side of the nestedv2 interface has not
been implemented on powernv but there is no technical reason why it
could not be added.
The nestedv1 interface is still supported.
Add support to KVM to utilize these hcalls to enable running nested
guests as a pseries guest on PHYP.
Overview of the new hcall usage:
- L1 and L0 negotiate capabilities with
H_GUEST_{G,S}ET_CAPABILITIES()
- L1 requests the L0 create a L2 with
H_GUEST_CREATE() and receives a handle to use in future hcalls
- L1 requests the L0 create a L2 vCPU with
H_GUEST_CREATE_VCPU()
- L1 sets up the L2 using H_GUEST_SET and the
H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN input buffer
- L1 requests the L0 runs the L2 vCPU using H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN()
- L2 returns to L1 with an exit reason and L1 reads the
H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN output buffer populated by the L0
- L1 handles the exit using H_GET_STATE if necessary
- L1 reruns L2 vCPU with H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN
- L1 frees the L2 in the L0 with H_GUEST_DELETE()
Support for the new API is determined by trying
H_GUEST_GET_CAPABILITIES. On a successful return, use the nestedv2
interface.
Use the vcpu register state setters for tracking modified guest state
elements and copy the thread wide values into the H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN input
buffer immediately before running a L2. The guest wide
elements can not be added to the input buffer so send them with a
separate H_GUEST_SET call if necessary.
Make the vcpu register getter load the corresponding value from the real
host with H_GUEST_GET. To avoid unnecessarily calling H_GUEST_GET, track
which values have already been loaded between H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN calls. If
an element is present in the H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN output buffer it also does
not need to be loaded again.
