KVM: PPC: Handle some PAPR hcalls in the kernel
This adds the infrastructure for handling PAPR hcalls in the kernel, either early in the guest exit path while we are still in real mode, or later once the MMU has been turned back on and we are in the full kernel context. The advantage of handling hcalls in real mode if possible is that we avoid two partition switches -- and this will become more important when we support SMT4 guests, since a partition switch means we have to pull all of the threads in the core out of the guest. The disadvantage is that we can only access the kernel linear mapping, not anything vmalloced or ioremapped, since the MMU is off. This also adds code to handle the following hcalls in real mode: H_ENTER Add an HPTE to the hashed page table H_REMOVE Remove an HPTE from the hashed page table H_READ Read HPTEs from the hashed page table H_PROTECT Change the protection bits in an HPTE H_BULK_REMOVE Remove up to 4 HPTEs from the hashed page table H_SET_DABR Set the data address breakpoint register Plus code to handle the following hcalls in the kernel: H_CEDE Idle the vcpu until an interrupt or H_PROD hcall arrives H_PROD Wake up a ceded vcpu H_REGISTER_VPA Register a virtual processor area (VPA) The code that runs in real mode has to be in the base kernel, not in the module, if KVM is compiled as a module. The real-mode code can only access the kernel linear mapping, not vmalloc or ioremap space. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
