David Gibson 1bfb37d1e0 target-ppc: Rework storage of VPA registration state
With PAPR guests, hypercalls allow registration of the Virtual Processor
Area (VPA), SLB shadow and dispatch trace log (DTL), each of which allow
for certain communication between the guest and hypervisor.  Currently, we
store the addresses of the three areas and the size of the dtl in
CPUPPCState.

The SLB shadow and DTL are variable sized, with the size being retrieved
from within the registered memory area at the hypercall time.  This size
can later be overwritten with other information, however, so we need to
save the size as of registration time.  We already do this for the DTL,
but not for the SLB shadow, so this patch fixes that.

In addition, we change the storage of the VPA information to use fixed
size integer types which will make life easier for syncing this data with
KVM, which we will need in future.

Avi Kivity a8170e5e97 Rename target_phys_addr_t to hwaddr
target_phys_addr_t is unwieldly, violates the C standard (_t suffixes are
reserved) and its purpose doesn't match the name (most target_phys_addr_t
addresses are not target specific).  Replace it with a finger-friendly,
standards conformant hwaddr.

Outstanding patchsets can be fixed up with the command

  git rebase -i --exec 'find -name "*.[ch]"

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 4656e1f012 ppc64: Rudimentary Support for extra page sizes on server CPUs
More recent Power server chips (i.e. based on the 64 bit hash MMU)
support more than just the traditional 4k and 16M page sizes.  This
can get quite complicated, because which page sizes are supported,
which combinations are supported within an MMU segment and how these
page sizes are encoded both in the SLB entry and the hash PTE can vary
depending on the CPU model (they are not specified by the
architecture).  In addition the firmware or hypervisor may not permit
use of certain page sizes, for various reasons.  Whether various page
sizes are supported on KVM, for example, depends on whether the PR or
HV variant of KVM is in use, and on the page size of the memory
backing the guest's RAM.

This patch adds information to the CPUState and cpu defs to describe
the supported page sizes and encodings.  Since TCG does not yet
support any extended page sizes, we just set this to NULL in the
static CPU definitions, expanding this to the default 4k and 16M page
sizes when we initialize the cpu state.  When using KVM, however, we
instead determine available page sizes using the new
KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO call.  For old kernels without that call, we use
some defaults, with some guesswork which should do the right thing for
existing HV and PR implementations.  The fallback might not be correct
for future versions, but that's ok, because they'll have
KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO.

David Gibson 02d4eae4b0 ppc: Alter CPU state to mask out TCG unimplemented instructions as appropriate
The CPU state contains two bitmaps, initialized from the CPU spec
which describes which instructions are implemented on the CPU.  A
couple of bits are defined which cover instructions (VSX and DFP)
which are not currently implemented in TCG.  So far, these are only
used to handle the case of -cpu host because a KVM guest can use
the instructions when the host CPU supports them.

However, it's a mild layering violation to simply not include those
bits in the CPU descriptions for those CPUs that do support them,
just because we can't handle them in TCG.  This patch corrects the
situation, so that the instruction bits _are_ shown correctly in the
cpu spec table, but are masked out from the cpu state in the non-KVM
case.

David Gibson a7342588c0 pseries: Correct vmx/dfp handling in both KVM and TCG cases
Currently, when KVM is enabled, the pseries machine checks if the host
CPU supports VMX, VSX and/or DFP instructions and advertises
accordingly in the guest device tree.  It does this regardless of what
CPU is selected on the command line.  On the other hand, when in TCG
mode, it never advertises any of these facilities, even basic VMX
(Altivec) which is supported in TCG.

Now that we have a -cpu host option for ppc, it is fairly
straightforward to fix both problems.  This patch changes the -cpu
host code to override the basic cpu spec derived from the PVR with
information queried from the host avout VMX, VSX and DFP capability.
The pseries code then uses the instruction availability advertised in
the cpu state to set the guest device tree correctly for both the KVM
and TCG cases.

David Gibson a1e985833c ppc: First cut implementation of -cpu host
For convenience with kvm, x86 allows the user to specify -cpu host on the
qemu command line, which means make the guest cpu the same as the host
cpu.  This patch implements the same option for ppc targets.

For now, this just read the host PVR (Processor Version Register) and
selects one of our existing CPU specs based on it.  This means that the
option will not work if the host cpu is not supported by TCG, even if that
wouldn't matter for use under kvm.

In future, we can extend this in future to override parts of the cpu spec
based on information obtained from the host (via /proc/cpuinfo, the host
device tree, or explicit KVM calls).  That will let us handle cases where
the real kvm-virtualized CPU doesn't behave exactly like the TCG-emulated
CPU.  With appropriate annotation of the CPU specs we'll also then be able
to use host cpus under kvm even when there isn't a matching full TCG model.

Alexander Graf 1c53acccee PPC: move TLBs to their own arrays
Until now, we've created a union over multiple different TLB types and
allocated that union. While it's a waste of memory (and cache) to allocate
TLB information for a TLB type with much information when you only need
little, it also inflicts another issue.

With the new KVM API, we can now share the TLB between KVM and qemu, but
for that to work we need to have both be in the same layout. We can't just
stretch it over to fit some internal different TLB representation.

Hence this patch moves all TLB types to their own array, allowing us to only
address and allocate exactly the boundaries required for the specific TLB
type at hand.

Alexander Graf d1e256fe47 PPC: E500: Use MAS registers instead of internal TLB representation
The natural format for e500 cores to do TLB manipulation with are the MAS
registers. Instead of converting them into some internal representation
and back again when the guest reads them, we can just keep the data
identical to the way the guest passed it to us.

The main advantage of this approach is that we're getting closer to being
able to share MMU data with KVM using shared memory, so that we don't need
to copy lots of MMU data back and forth all the time. For this to work
however, another patch is required that gets rid of the TLB union, as that
destroys our memory layout that needs to be identical with the kernel one.

David Gibson ed120055c7 Implement PAPR VPA functions for pSeries shared processor partitions
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.

David Gibson f43e35255c Virtual hash page table handling on pSeries machine
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.
