Second round of KVM/ARM Changes for v4.12.
Changes include:
- A fix related to the 32-bit idmap stub
- A fix to the bitmask used to deode the operands of an AArch32 CP
instruction
- We have moved the files shared between arch/arm/kvm and
arch/arm64/kvm to virt/kvm/arm
- We add support for saving/restoring the virtual ITS state to
userspace
Clarify what is meant by the save/restore ABI only supporting virtual
physical interrupts.
Relax the requirement of the order that the collection entries are
written in and be clear that there is no particular ordering enforced.
Some cosmetic changes in the capitalization of ID names to align with
the GICv3 manual and remove the empty line in the bottom of the patch.

Guests that are heavy on futexes end up IPI'ing each other a lot. That
can lead to significant slowdowns and latency increase for those guests
when running within KVM.
If only a single guest is needed on a host, we have a lot of spare host
CPU time we can throw at the problem. Modern CPUs implement a feature
called "MWAIT" which allows guests to wake up sleeping remote CPUs without
an IPI - thus without an exit - at the expense of never going out of guest
context.
The decision whether this is something sensible to use should be up to the
VM admin, so to user space. We can however allow MWAIT execution on systems
that support it properly hardware wise.
This patch adds a CAP to user space and a KVM cpuid leaf to indicate
availability of native MWAIT execution. With that enabled, the worst a
guest can do is waste as many cycles as a "jmp ." would do, so it's not
a privilege problem.
We consciously do *not* expose the feature in our CPUID bitmap, as most
people will want to benefit from sleeping vCPUs to allow for over commit.

This allows the host kernel to handle H_PUT_TCE, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT
and H_STUFF_TCE requests targeted an IOMMU TCE table used for VFIO
without passing them to user space which saves time on switching
to user space and back.
This adds H_PUT_TCE/H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT/H_STUFF_TCE handlers to KVM.
KVM tries to handle a TCE request in the real mode, if failed
it passes the request to the virtual mode to complete the operation.
If it a virtual mode handler fails, the request is passed to
the user space; this is not expected to happen though.
To avoid dealing with page use counters (which is tricky in real mode),
this only accelerates SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 clients which are required
to pre-register the userspace memory. The very first TCE request will
be handled in the VFIO SPAPR TCE driver anyway as the userspace view
of the TCE table (iommu_table::it_userspace) is not allocated till
the very first mapping happens and we cannot call vmalloc in real mode.
If we fail to update a hardware IOMMU table unexpected reason, we just
clear it and move on as there is nothing really we can do about it -
for example, if we hot plug a VFIO device to a guest, existing TCE tables
will be mirrored automatically to the hardware and there is no interface
to report to the guest about possible failures.
This adds new attribute - KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE - to
the VFIO KVM device. It takes a VFIO group fd and SPAPR TCE table fd
and associates a physical IOMMU table with the SPAPR TCE table (which
is a guest view of the hardware IOMMU table). The iommu_table object
is cached and referenced so we do not have to look up for it in real mode.
This does not implement the UNSET counterpart as there is no use for it -
once the acceleration is enabled, the existing userspace won't
disable it unless a VFIO container is destroyed; this adds necessary
cleanup to the KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_DEL handler.
This advertises the new KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability to the user
space.
This adds real mode version of WARN_ON_ONCE() as the generic version
causes problems with rcu_sched. Since we testing what vmalloc_to_phys()
returns in the code, this also adds a check for already existing
vmalloc_to_phys() call in kvmppc_rm_h_put_tce_indirect().
This finally makes use of vfio_external_user_iommu_id() which was
introduced quite some time ago and was considered for removal.
Tests show that this patch increases transmission speed from 220MB/s
to 750..1020MB/s on 10Gb network (Chelsea CXGB3 10Gb ethernet card).

KVM: s390: features for 4.12
1. guarded storage support for guests
This contains an s390 base Linux feature branch that is necessary
to implement the KVM part
2. Provide an interface to implement adapter interruption suppression
which is necessary for proper zPCI support
3. Use more defines instead of numbers
4. Provide logging for lazy enablement of runtime instrumentation
We have 2 modes for dealing with interrupts in the ARM world. We can
either handle them all using hardware acceleration through the vgic or
we can emulate a gic in user space and only drive CPU IRQ pins from
there.
Unfortunately, when driving IRQs from user space, we never tell user
space about events from devices emulated inside the kernel, which may
result in interrupt line state changes, so we lose out on for example
timer and PMU events if we run with user space gic emulation.
Define an ABI to publish such device output levels to userspace.

KVM: MIPS: VZ support, Octeon III, and TLBR
Add basic support for the MIPS Virtualization Module (generally known as
MIPS VZ) in KVM. We primarily support the ImgTec P5600, P6600, I6400,
and Cavium Octeon III cores so far. Support is included for the
following VZ / guest hardware features:
- MIPS32 and MIPS64, r5 (VZ requires r5 or later) and r6
- TLBs with GuestID (IMG cores) or Root ASID Dealias (Octeon III)
- Shared physical root/guest TLB (IMG cores)
- FPU / MSA
- Cop0 timer (up to 1GHz for now due to soft timer limit)
- Segmentation control (EVA)
- Hardware page table walker (HTW) both for root and guest TLB
Also included is a proper implementation of the TLBR instruction for the
trap & emulate MIPS KVM implementation.
Preliminary MIPS architecture changes are applied directly with Ralf's
ack.

For adapters subject to AIS, handle the airq injection suppression

- before injection, if NO-Interruptions Mode, just return 0 and
suppress, otherwise, allow the injection.
- after injection, if SINGLE-Interruption Mode, change it to
NO-Interruptions Mode to suppress the following interrupts.
Besides, add tracepoint for suppressed airq and AIS mode transitions.

Provide an interface for userspace to modify AIS

and SINGLE-Interruption mode.
We introduce the 'simm' and 'nimm' fields in kvm_s390_float_interrupt
to store interruption modes for each ISC. Each bit in 'simm' and
'nimm' targets to one ISC, and collaboratively indicate three modes:
ALL-Interruptions, SINGLE-Interruption and NO-Interruptions. This
interface can initiate most transitions between the states; transition
from SINGLE-Interruption to NO-Interruptions via adapter interrupt
injection will be introduced in a following patch. The meaningful
combinations are as follows:
interruption mode | simm bit | nimm bit
------------------|----------|----------
ALL | 0 | 0
SINGLE | 1 | 0
NO | 1 | 1
Besides, add tracepoint to track AIS mode transitions.

KVM/ARM Fixes for v4.11-rc6
Fixes include:
- Fix a problem with GICv3 userspace save/restore
- Clarify GICv2 userspace save/restore ABI
- Be more careful in clearing GIC LRs
- Add missing synchronization primitive to our MMU handling code
As an oversight, for GICv2, we accidentally export the GICC_PMR register
in the format of the GICH_VMCR.VMPriMask field in the lower 5 bits of a
word, meaning that userspace must always use the lower 5 bits to
communicate with the KVM device and must shift the value left by 3
places to obtain the actual priority mask level.
Since GICv3 supports the full 8 bits of priority masking in the ICH_VMCR,
we have to fix the value we export when emulating a GICv2 on top of a
hardware GICv3 and exporting the emulated GICv2 state to userspace.
Take the chance to clarify this aspect of the ABI.

Add new KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE capabilities, and in order
to allow MIPS KVM to support VZ without confusing old users (which
expect the trap & emulate implementation), define and start checking
KVM_CREATE_VM type codes.
The codes available are:
- KVM_VM_MIPS_TE = 0
This is the current value expected from the user, and will create a
VM using trap & emulate in user mode, confined to the user mode
address space. This may in future become unavailable if the kernel is
only configured to support VZ, in which case the EINVAL error will be
returned and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE won't be available even though
KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ is.
- KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ = 1
This can be provided when the KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability is available
to create a VM using VZ, with a fully virtualized guest virtual
address space. If VZ support is unavailable in the kernel, the EINVAL
error will be returned (although old kernels without the
KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability may well succeed and create a trap &
emulate VM).
This is designed to allow the desired implementation (T&E vs VZ) to be
potentially chosen at runtime rather than being fixed in the kernel
configuration.

The purpose of the KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK API is to let userspace "kick"
a VCPU out of KVM_RUN through a POSIX signal. A signal is attached
to a dummy signal handler; by blocking the signal outside KVM_RUN and
unblocking it inside, this possible race is closed:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
check flag
set flag
raise signal
(signal handler does nothing)
KVM_RUN
However, one issue with KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK is that it has to take
tsk->sighand->siglock on every KVM_RUN. This lock is often on a
remote NUMA node, because it is on the node of a thread's creator.
Taking this lock can be very expensive if there are many userspace
exits (as is the case for SMP Windows VMs without Hyper-V reference
time counter).
As an alternative, we can put the flag directly in kvm_run so that
KVM can see it:
VCPU thread service thread
--------------------------------------------------------------
raise signal
signal handler
set run->immediate_exit
KVM_RUN
check run->immediate_exit

KVM: MIPS: GVA/GPA page tables, dirty logging, SYNC_MMU etc
Numerous MIPS KVM fixes, improvements, and features for 4.11, many of
which continue to pave the way for VZ support, the most interesting of
which are:
- Add GVA->HPA page tables for T&E, to cache GVA mappings.
- Generate fast-path TLB refill exception handler which loads host TLB
entries from GVA page table, avoiding repeated guest memory
translation and guest TLB lookups.
- Use uaccess macros when T&E needs to access guest memory, which with
GVA page tables and the Linux TLB refill handler improves robustness
against TLB faults and fixes EVA hosts.
- Use BadInstr/BadInstrP registers when available to obtain instruction
encodings after a synchronous trap.
- Add GPA->HPA page tables to replace the inflexible linear array,
allowing for multiple sparsely arranged memory regions.
- Properly implement dirty page logging.
- Add KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU support so that changes in GPA mappings become
effective in guests even if they are already running, allowing for
copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, and guest memory
ballooning.
- Add KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM support, so writes to specified memory
regions are treated as MMIO.
- Implement proper CP0_EBase support in T&E.
- Expose a few more missing CP0 registers to userland.
- Add KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS and KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS support, and allow up to 8
VCPUs to be created in a VM.
- Various cleanups and dropping of dead and duplicated code.
The big feature this time is support for POWER9 using the radix-tree
MMU for host and guest. This required some changes to arch/powerpc
code, so I talked with Michael Ellerman and he created a topic branch
with this patchset, which I merged into kvm-ppc-next and which Michael
will pull into his tree. Michael also put in some patches from Nick
Piggin which fix bugs in the interrupt vector code in relocatable
kernels when coming from a KVM guest.
Other notable changes include:
* Add the ability to change the size of the hashed page table,
from David Gibson.
* XICS (interrupt controller) emulation fixes and improvements,
from Li Zhong.
* Bug fixes from myself and Thomas Huth.
These patches define some new KVM capabilities and ioctls, but there
should be no conflicts with anything else currently upstream, as far
as I am aware.

always exposes the 64-bit version of these registers (i.e. with the RI

Fix the emulation of exceptions and interrupts to use the value stored

than the standard 2) are fixed, so that it is always in the guest KSeg0

Also add CP0_EBASE to the KVM one_reg interface so it can be accessed by
userland, also allowing the CPU number field to be written (which isn't

The KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() is used to set the size of hashed page
table (HPT) that userspace expects a guest VM to have, and is also used to
clear that HPT when necessary (e.g. guest reboot).
At present, once the ioctl() is called for the first time, the HPT size can
never be changed thereafter - it will be cleared but always sized as from
the first call.
With upcoming HPT resize implementation, we're going to need to allow
userspace to resize the HPT at reset (to change it back to the default size
if the guest changed it).
So, we need to allow this ioctl() to change the HPT size.
This patch also updates Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt to reflect
the new behaviour. In fact the documentation was already slightly
incorrect since 572abd5 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't fall back to
smaller HPT size in allocation ioctl"

definitions for two new VM ioctl()s to implement this extension, and
documentation of the same.
Note that, HPT resizing is already possible with KVM PR without kernel
modification, since the HPT is managed within userspace (qemu). The
capability defined here will only be set where an in-kernel implementation
of resizing is necessary, i.e. for KVM HV. To determine if the userspace
resize implementation can be used, it's necessary to check
KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB. Unfortunately older kernels incorrectly set
KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB even with KVM PR. If userspace it want to support
resizing with KVM PR on such kernels, it will need a workaround.

This adds two capabilities and two ioctls to allow userspace to
find out about and configure the POWER9 MMU in a guest. The two
capabilities tell userspace whether KVM can support a guest using
the radix MMU, or using the hashed page table (HPT) MMU with a
process table and segment tables. (Note that the MMUs in the
POWER9 processor cores do not use the process and segment tables
when in HPT mode, but the nest MMU does).
The KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU ioctl allows userspace to specify
whether a guest will use the radix MMU or the HPT MMU, and to
specify the size and location (in guest space) of the process
table.
The KVM_PPC_GET_RMMU_INFO ioctl gives userspace information about
the radix MMU. It returns a list of supported radix tree geometries
(base page size and number of bits indexed at each level of the
