Paul Mackerras 7aa15842c1 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Set RWMR on POWER8 so PURR/SPURR count correctly
Although Linux doesn't use PURR and SPURR ((Scaled) Processor
Utilization of Resources Register), other OSes depend on them.
On POWER8 they count at a rate depending on whether the VCPU is
idle or running, the activity of the VCPU, and the value in the
RWMR (Region-Weighting Mode Register).  Hardware expects the
hypervisor to update the RWMR when a core is dispatched to reflect
the number of online VCPUs in the vcore.

This adds code to maintain a count in the vcore struct indicating
how many VCPUs are online.  In kvmppc_run_core we use that count
to set the RWMR register on POWER8.  If the core is split because
of a static or dynamic micro-threading mode, we use the value for
8 threads.  The RWMR value is not relevant when the host is
executing because Linux does not use the PURR or SPURR register,
so we don't bother saving and restoring the host value.

For the sake of old userspace which does not set the KVM_REG_PPC_ONLINE
register, we set online to 1 if it was 0 at the time of a KVM_RUN
ioctl.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
