KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Treat TM-related invalid form instructions on P9 like the valid ones

On P9 DD2.2 due to a CPU defect some TM instructions need to be emulated by
KVM. This is handled at first by the hardware raising a softpatch interrupt
when certain TM instructions that need KVM assistance are executed in the
guest. Althought some TM instructions per Power ISA are invalid forms they
can raise a softpatch interrupt too. For instance, 'tresume.' instruction
as defined in the ISA must have bit 31 set (1), but an instruction that
matches 'tresume.' PO and XO opcode fields but has bit 31 not set (0), like
0x7cfe9ddc, also raises a softpatch interrupt. Similarly for 'treclaim.'
and 'trechkpt.' instructions with bit 31 = 0, i.e. 0x7c00075c and
0x7c0007dc, respectively. Hence, if a code like the following is executed
in the guest it will raise a softpatch interrupt just like a 'tresume.'
when the TM facility is enabled ('tabort. 0' in the example is used only
to enable the TM facility):

int main() { asm("tabort. 0; .long 0x7cfe9ddc;"); }

Currently in such a case KVM throws a complete trace like:

and then treats the executed instruction as a 'nop'.

However the POWER9 User's Manual, in section "4.6.10 Book II Invalid
Forms", informs that for TM instructions bit 31 is in fact ignored, thus
for the TM-related invalid forms ignoring bit 31 and handling them like the
valid forms is an acceptable way to handle them. POWER8 behaves the same
way too.

This commit changes the handling of the cases here described by treating
the TM-related invalid forms that can generate a softpatch interrupt
just like their valid forms (w/ bit 31 = 1) instead of as a 'nop' and by
gently reporting any other unrecognized case to the host and treating it as
illegal instruction instead of throwing a trace and treating it as a 'nop'.

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: Move nip/ctr/lr/xer registers to pt_regs in kvm_vcpu_arch

This patch moves nip/ctr/lr/xer registers from scattered places in
kvm_vcpu_arch to pt_regs structure.

cr register is "unsigned long" in pt_regs and u32 in vcpu->arch.
It will need more consideration and may move in later patches.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around transactional memory bugs in POWER9

POWER9 has hardware bugs relating to transactional memory and thread
reconfiguration (changes to hardware SMT mode). Specifically, the core
does not have enough storage to store a complete checkpoint of all the
architected state for all four threads. The DD2.2 version of POWER9
includes hardware modifications designed to allow hypervisor software
to implement workarounds for these problems. This patch implements
those workarounds in KVM code so that KVM guests see a full, working
transactional memory implementation.

The problems center around the use of TM suspended state, where the
CPU has a checkpointed state but execution is not transactional. The
workaround is to implement a "fake suspend" state, which looks to the
guest like suspended state but the CPU does not store a checkpoint.
In this state, any instruction that would cause a transition to
transactional state (rfid, rfebb, mtmsrd, tresume) or would use the
checkpointed state (treclaim) causes a "soft patch" interrupt (vector
0x1500) to the hypervisor so that it can be emulated. The trechkpt
instruction also causes a soft patch interrupt.

On POWER9 DD2.2, we avoid returning to the guest in any state which
would require a checkpoint to be present. The trechkpt in the guest
entry path which would normally create that checkpoint is replaced by
either a transition to fake suspend state, if the guest is in suspend
state, or a rollback to the pre-transactional state if the guest is in
transactional state. Fake suspend state is indicated by a flag in the
PACA plus a new bit in the PSSCR. The new PSSCR bit is write-only and
reads back as 0.

On exit from the guest, if the guest is in fake suspend state, we still
do the treclaim instruction as we would in real suspend state, in order
to get into non-transactional state, but we do not save the resulting
register state since there was no checkpoint.

Emulation of the instructions that cause a softpatch interrupt is
handled in two paths. If the guest is in real suspend mode, we call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() to handle the cases where the guest is
transitioning to transactional state. This is called before we do the
treclaim in the guest exit path; because we haven't done treclaim, we
can get back to the guest with the transaction still active. If the
instruction is a case that kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() doesn't
handle, or if the guest is in fake suspend state, then we proceed to
do the complete guest exit path and subsequently call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation() in host context with the MMU on. This handles
all the cases including the cases that generate program interrupts
(illegal instruction or TM Bad Thing) and facility unavailable
interrupts.

The emulation is reasonably straightforward and is mostly concerned
with checking for exception conditions and updating the state of
registers such as MSR and CR0. The treclaim emulation takes care to
ensure that the TEXASR register gets updated as if it were the guest
treclaim instruction that had done failure recording, not the treclaim
done in hypervisor state in the guest exit path.

With this, the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM capability returns true (1) even if
transactional memory is not available to host userspace.
