Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Browse source 
Pull KVM changes from Avi Kivity:
 "Changes include additional instruction emulation, page-crossing MMIO,
  faster dirty logging, preventing the watchdog from killing a stopped
  guest, module autoload, a new MSI ABI, and some minor optimizations
  and fixes.  Outside x86 we have a small s390 and a very large ppc
  update.

  Regarding the new (for kvm) rebaseless workflow, some of the patches
  that were merged before we switch trees had to be rebased, while
  others are true pulls.  In either case the signoffs should be correct
  now."

Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_segment.S and arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h.

I suspect the kvm_para.h resolution ends up doing the "do I have cpuid"
check effectively twice (it was done differently in two different
commits), but better safe than sorry ;)

This signals to the host kernel that the specified guest is being paused by
userspace. The host will set a flag in the pvclock structure that is checked
from the soft lockup watchdog. The flag is part of the pvclock structure that
is shared between guest and host, specifically the second bit of the flags
field of the pvclock_vcpu_time_info structure. It will be set exclusively by
the host and read/cleared exclusively by the guest. The guest operation of
checking and clearing the flag must an atomic operation so
load-link/store-conditional, or equivalent must be used. There are two cases

parameters have to be passed:

device-tree properties for the guest operating system.
The structure contains some global informations, followed by an
array of supported segment page sizes:
struct kvm_ppc_smmu_info {
__u64 flags;
__u32 slb_size;
__u32 pad;
struct kvm_ppc_one_seg_page_size sps[KVM_PPC_PAGE_SIZES_MAX_SZ];
};
The supported flags are:
- KVM_PPC_PAGE_SIZES_REAL:
When that flag is set, guest page sizes must "fit" the backing
store page sizes. When not set, any page size in the list can
be used regardless of how they are backed by userspace.
- KVM_PPC_1T_SEGMENTS
The emulated MMU supports 1T segments in addition to the
standard 256M ones.
The "slb_size" field indicates how many SLB entries are supported
The "sps" array contains 8 entries indicating the supported base
page sizes for a segment in increasing order. Each entry is defined
as follow:
struct kvm_ppc_one_seg_page_size {
__u32 page_shift; /* Base page shift of segment (or 0) */
__u32 slb_enc; /* SLB encoding for BookS */
struct kvm_ppc_one_page_size enc[KVM_PPC_PAGE_SIZES_MAX_SZ];
};
An entry with a "page_shift" of 0 is unused. Because the array is
organized in increasing order, a lookup can stop when encoutering
such an entry.
The "slb_enc" field provides the encoding to use in the SLB for the
page size. The bits are in positions such as the value can directly
be OR'ed into the "vsid" argument of the slbmte instruction.
The "enc" array is a list which for each of those segment base page
size provides the list of supported actual page sizes (which can be
only larger or equal to the base page size), along with the
corresponding encoding in the hash PTE. Similarily, the array is
8 entries sorted by increasing sizes and an entry with a "0" shift
is an empty entry and a terminator:
struct kvm_ppc_one_page_size {
__u32 page_shift; /* Page shift (or 0) */
__u32 pte_enc; /* Encoding in the HPTE (>>12) */
};
The "pte_enc" field provides a value that can OR'ed into the hash
PTE's RPN field (ie, it needs to be shifted left by 12 to OR it
into the hash PTE second double word).
