2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add support for ibm,int-on/off RTAS callsPaul Mackerras
This adds support for the ibm,int-on and ibm,int-off RTAS calls to the in-kernel XICS emulation and corrects the handling of the saved priority by the ibm,set-xive RTAS call. With this, ibm,int-off sets the specified interrupt's priority in its saved_priority field and sets the priority to 0xff (the least favoured value). ibm,int-on restores the saved_priority to the priority field, and ibm,set-xive sets both the priority and the saved_priority to the specified priority value.

2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for real mode ICP in XICS emulationBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds an implementation of the XICS hypercalls in real mode for HV KVM, which allows us to avoid exiting the guest MMU context on all threads for a variety of operations such as fetching a pending interrupt, EOI of messages, IPIs, etc. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Speed up wakeups of CPUs on HV KVMBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Currently, we wake up a CPU by sending a host IPI with smp_send_reschedule() to thread 0 of that core, which will take all threads out of the guest, and cause them to re-evaluate their interrupt status on the way back in. This adds a mechanism to differentiate real host IPIs from IPIs sent by KVM for guest threads to poke each other, in order to target the guest threads precisely when possible and avoid that global switch of the core to host state. We then use this new facility in the in-kernel XICS code.

2013-04-26KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add kernel emulation for the XICS interrupt controllerBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds in-kernel emulation of the XICS (eXternal Interrupt Controller Specification) interrupt controller specified by PAPR, for both HV and PR KVM guests. The XICS emulation supports up to 1048560 interrupt sources. Interrupt source numbers below 16 are reserved; 0 is used to mean no interrupt and 2 is used for IPIs. Internally these are represented in blocks of 1024, called ICS (interrupt controller source) entities, but that is not visible to userspace. Each vcpu gets one ICP (interrupt controller presentation) entity, used to store the per-vcpu state such as vcpu priority, pending interrupt state, IPI request, etc. This does not include any API or any way to connect vcpus to their ICP state; that will be added in later patches. This is based on an initial implementation by Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> reworked by Benjamin Herrenschmidt and Paul Mackerras.
