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.

We have several targets in the PPC tree now that basically require libfdt
to function properly, namely the pseries and the e500 targets. This dependency
will rather increase than decrease in the future, so I want to make sure
that people building shiny new 1.0 actually have libfdt installed to get
rid of a few ifdefs in the code.
Warning: This patch will likely make configure fail for people who don't
select their own --target-list, but don't have libfdt development packages
installed. However, we really need this new dependency to move on.

In __cpu_ppc_store_decr(), we set up a regular timer used to trigger
decrementer interrupts. This is necessary to implement the decrementer
properly under TCG, but is unnecessary under KVM (true for both Book3S-PR
and Book3S-HV KVM variants), because the kernel handles generating and
delivering decrementer exceptions.
Under kvm, in fact, the timer causes expensive and unnecessary exits from
kvm to qemu. This patch, therefore, disables setting the timer when kvm
is in use.

The sole reason we have the ppcemb target is to support MMUs that have

Now that we've implemented -cpu host for ppc, this patch updates the
pseries machine to use the host cpu as the guest cpu by default when
running under KVM. This is important because under KVM Book3S-HV the guest
cpu _cannot_ be of a different type to the host cpu (at the moment
KVM Book3S-HV will silently virtualize the host cpu instead of whatever was
requested, but in future it is likely to simply refuse to run the VM if
a cpu model other than the host's is requested).

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.

The ppc target contains a ppc_find_by_pvr() function, which looks up a
CPU spec based on a PVR (that is, based on the value in the target cpu's
Processor Version Register). PVR values contain information on both the
cpu model (upper 16 bits, usually) and on the precise revision (low 16
bits, usually).
ppc_find_by_pvr, as well as making exact PVR matches, attempts to find
"close" PVR matches, when we don't have a CPU spec for the exact revision
specified. This sounds like a good idea, execpt that the current logic
is completely nonsensical.
It seems to assume CPU families are subdivided bit by bit in the PVR in a
way they just aren't. Specifically, it requires a match on all bits of the
specified pvr up to the last non-zero bit. This has the bizarre effect
that when the low bits are simply a sequential revision number (a common
though not universal pattern), then odd specified revisions must be matched
exactly, whereas even specified revisions will also match the next odd
revision, likewise for powers of 4, 8 and so forth.
To correctly do inexact matching we'd need to re-organize the table of CPU
specs to include a mask showing what PVR range the spec is compatible with
(similar to the cputable code in the Linux kernel).
For now, just remove the bogosity by only permitting exact PVR matches.
That at least makes the matching simple and consistent. If we need inexact
matching we can add the necessary per-subfamily masks later.

Sufficiently recent PAPR specifications define properties "ibm,vmx"
and "ibm,dfp" on the CPU node which advertise whether the VMX vector
extensions (or the later VSX version) and/or the Decimal Floating
Point operations from IBM's recent POWER CPUs are available.
Currently we do not put these in the guest device tree and the guest
kernel will consequently assume they are not available. This is good,
because they are not supported under TCG. VMX is similar enough to
Altivec that it might be trivial to support, but VSX and DFP would
both require significant work to support in TCG.
However, when running under kvm on a host which supports these
instructions, there's no reason not to let the guest use them. This
patch, therefore, checks for the relevant support on the host CPU
and, if present, advertises them to the guest as well.

The pseries machine of qemu implements the TCE mechanism used as a
virtual IOMMU for the PAPR defined virtual IO devices. Because the
PAPR spec only defines a small DMA address space, the guest VIO
drivers need to update TCE mappings very frequently - the virtual
network device is particularly bad. This means many slow exits to
qemu to emulate the H_PUT_TCE hypercall.
Sufficiently recent kernels allow this to be mitigated by implementing
H_PUT_TCE in the host kernel. To make use of this, however, qemu
needs to initialize the necessary TCE tables, and map them into itself
so that the VIO device implementations can retrieve the mappings when
they access guest memory (which is treated as a virtual DMA
operation).
This patch adds the necessary calls to use the KVM TCE acceleration.
If the kernel does not support acceleration, or there is some other
error creating the accelerated TCE table, then it will still fall back
to full userspace TCE implementation.

At present, using the hypervisor aware Book3S-HV KVM will only work
with qemu on POWER7 CPUs. PPC970 CPUs also have hypervisor
capability, but they lack the VRMA feature which makes assigning guest
memory easier.
In order to allow KVM Book3S-HV on PPC970, we need to specially
allocate the first chunk of guest memory (the "Real Mode Area" or
RMA), so that it is physically contiguous.
Sufficiently recent host kernels allow such contiguous RMAs to be
allocated, with a kvm capability advertising whether the feature is
available and/or necessary on this hardware. This patch enables qemu
to use this support, thus allowing kvm acceleration of pseries qemu
machines on PPC970 hardware.

agraf: fix to use memory api
Alex Graf has already made qemu support KVM for the pseries machine
when using the Book3S-PR KVM variant (which runs the guest in
usermode, emulating supervisor operations). This code allows gets us
very close to also working with KVM Book3S-HV (using the hypervisor
capabilities of recent POWER CPUs).
This patch moves us another step towards Book3S-HV support by
correctly handling SMT (multithreaded) POWER CPUs. There are two
parts to this:
* Querying KVM to check SMT capability, and if present, adjusting the
cpu numbers that qemu assigns to cause KVM to assign guest threads
to cores in the right way (this isn't automatic, because the POWER
HV support has a limitation that different threads on a single core
cannot be in different guests at the same time).
* Correctly informing the guest OS of the SMT thread to core mappings
via the device tree.
