KVM: PPC: Introduce FPR/VR accessor functions

Introduce accessor functions for floating point and vector registers
like the ones that exist for GPRs. Use these to replace the existing FPR
and VR accessor macros.

This will be important later for Nested APIv2 support which requires
additional functionality for accessing and modifying VCPU state.

KVM: PPC: Use ccr field in pt_regs struct embedded in vcpu struct

When the 'regs' field was added to struct kvm_vcpu_arch, the code
was changed to use several of the fields inside regs (e.g., gpr, lr,
etc.) but not the ccr field, because the ccr field in struct pt_regs
is 64 bits on 64-bit platforms, but the cr field in kvm_vcpu_arch is
only 32 bits. This changes the code to use the regs.ccr field
instead of cr, and changes the assembly code on 64-bit platforms to
use 64-bit loads and stores instead of 32-bit ones.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: correct width in XER handling

In 64 bit kernels, the Fixed Point Exception Register (XER) is a 64
bit field (e.g. in kvm_regs and kvm_vcpu_arch) and in most places it is
accessed as such.

This patch corrects places where it is accessed as a 32 bit field by a
64 bit kernel. In some cases this is via a 32 bit load or store
instruction which, depending on endianness, will cause either the
lower or upper 32 bits to be missed. In another case it is cast as a
u32, causing the upper 32 bits to be cleared.

This patch corrects those places by extending the access methods to
64 bits.

KVM: PPC: e500mc: Add support for single threaded vcpus on e6500 core

ePAPR represents hardware threads as cpu node properties in device tree.
So with existing QEMU, hardware threads are simply exposed as vcpus with
one hardware thread.

The e6500 core shares TLBs between hardware threads. Without tlb write
conditional instruction, the Linux kernel uses per core mechanisms to
protect against duplicate TLB entries.

The guest is unable to detect real siblings threads, so it can't use the
TLB protection mechanism. An alternative solution is to use the hypervisor
to allocate different lpids to guest's vcpus that runs simultaneous on real
siblings threads. On systems with two threads per core this patch halves
the size of the lpid pool that the allocator sees and use two lpids per VM.
Use even numbers to speedup vcpu lpid computation with consecutive lpids
per VM: vm1 will use lpids 2 and 3, vm2 lpids 4 and 5, and so on.

KVM: PPC: Allow kvmppc_get_last_inst() to fail

On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.

This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.

Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

KVM: PPC: Make shared struct aka magic page guest endian

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.

When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
native endian load/store operations.

Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.

For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.

For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
functions that evaluate this variable.

KVM: PPC: Book3S: MMIO emulation support for little endian guests

MMIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest
and then emulates. If the guest is running in Little Endian order,
or more generally in a different endian order of the host, the
instruction needs to be byte-swapped before being emulated.

This patch adds a helper routine which tests the endian order of
the host and the guest in order to decide whether a byteswap is
needed or not. It is then used to byteswap the last instruction
of the guest in the endian order of the host before MMIO emulation
is performed.

Finally, kvmppc_handle_load() of kvmppc_handle_store() are modified
to reverse the endianness of the MMIO if required.

KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode

This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means
that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means
that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent
performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.

This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing
Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR
hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
to include/linux/kvm.h.

Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
(i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
do one or the other.

This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
restriction.

With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
to those exception handlers.

We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
interrupts, so we have to handle those.

In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.

The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
(partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run
in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.

This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We
require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that
we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.

This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

KVM: PPC: Improve indirect svcpu accessors

We already have some inline fuctions we use to access vcpu or svcpu structs,
depending on whether we're on booke or book3s. Since we just put a few more
registers into the svcpu, we also need to make sure the respective callbacks
are available and get used.

So this patch moves direct use of the now in the svcpu struct fields to
inline function calls. While at it, it also moves the definition of those
inline function calls to respective header files for booke and book3s,
greatly improving readability.
