The PAPR interface defines a hypercall to pass high-quality
hardware generated random numbers to guests. Recent kernels can
already provide this hypercall to the guest if the right hardware
random number generator is available. But in case the user wants
to use another source like EGD, or QEMU is running with an older
kernel, we should also have this call in QEMU, so that guests that
do not support virtio-rng yet can get good random numbers, too.
This patch now adds a new pseudo-device to QEMU that either
directly provides this hypercall to the guest or is able to
enable the in-kernel hypercall if available. The in-kernel
hypercall can be enabled with the use-kvm property, e.g.:
qemu-system-ppc64 -device spapr-rng,use-kvm=true
For handling the hypercall in QEMU instead, a "RngBackend" is
required since the hypercall should provide "good" random data
instead of pseudo-random (like from a "simple" library function
like rand() or g_random_int()). Since there are multiple RngBackends
available, the user must select an appropriate back-end via the
"rng" property of the device, e.g.:
qemu-system-ppc64 -object rng-random,filename=/dev/hwrng,id=gid0 \
-device spapr-rng,rng=gid0 ...
See http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Features-Done/VirtIORNG for
other example of specifying RngBackends.

qemu currently implements the hypercalls H_LOGICAL_CI_LOAD and
H_LOGICAL_CI_STORE as PAPR extensions. These are used by the SLOF firmware
for IO, because performing cache inhibited MMIO accesses with the MMU off
(real mode) is very awkward on POWER.
This approach breaks when SLOF needs to access IO devices implemented
within KVM instead of in qemu. The simplest example would be virtio-blk
using an iothread, because the iothread / dataplane mechanism relies on
an in-kernel implementation of the virtio queue notification MMIO.
To fix this, an in-kernel implementation of these hypercalls has been made,
(kernel commit 99342cf "kvmppc: Implement H_LOGICAL_CI_{LOAD,STORE} in KVM"
however, the hypercalls still need to be enabled from qemu. This performs
the necessary calls to do so.
It would be nice to provide some warning if we encounter a problematic
device with a kernel which doesn't support the new calls. Unfortunately,
I can't see a way to detect this case which won't either warn in far too
many cases that will probably work, or which is horribly invasive.

PPC970 does not support VRMA (virtual RMA) so real memory required
for SLOF to execute must be allocated by the KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA ioctl.
Later this memory is used as a part of the guest RAM area.
The RMA allocating code also registers a memory region for this piece
of RAM.
We are going to simplify memory regions layout: RMA memory region
will be a subregion in the RAM memory region, both starting from zero.
This way we will not have to take care of start address alignment for
the piece of RAM next to the RMA.
This moves memory region business closer to the RAM memory region

POWER KVM supports an KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE capability which allows allocating
TCE tables in the host kernel memory and handle H_PUT_TCE requests
targeted to specific LIOBN (logical bus number) right in the host without
switching to QEMU. At the moment this is used for emulated devices only
and the handler only puts TCE to the table. If the in-kernel H_PUT_TCE
handler finds a LIOBN and corresponding table, it will put a TCE to
the table and complete hypercall execution. The user space will not be
notified.
Upcoming VFIO support is going to use the same sPAPRTCETable device class
so KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE is going to be used as well. That means that TCE
tables for VFIO are going to be allocated in the host as well.
However VFIO operates with real IOMMU tables and simple copying of
a TCE to the real hardware TCE table will not work as guest physical
to host physical address translation is requited.
So until the host kernel gets VFIO support for H_PUT_TCE, we better not
to register VFIO's TCE in the host.
This adds a place holder for KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO capability. It is not
in upstream yet and being discussed so now it is always false which means
that in-kernel VFIO acceleration is not supported.
This adds a bool @vfio_accel flag to the sPAPRTCETable device telling
that sPAPRTCETable should not try allocating TCE table in the host kernel
for VFIO. The flag is false now as at the moment there is no VFIO.
This adds an vfio_accel parameter to spapr_tce_new_table(), the semantic
is the same. Since there is only emulated PCI and VIO now, the flag is set
to false. Upcoming VFIO support will set it to true.
This is a preparation patch so no change in behaviour is expected

Normally CPUState::cpu_index is used to pick the right CPU for various
operations. However default consecutive numbering does not always work
for POWERPC.
These indexes are reflected in /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER7@XX
and used to call KVM VCPU's ioctls. In order to achieve this,
kvmppc_fixup_cpu() was introduced. Roughly speaking, it multiplies
cpu_index by the number of threads per core.
This approach has disadvantages such as:
1. NUMA configuration stays broken after the fixup;
2. CPU-targeted commands from the QEMU Monitor do not work properly as
CPU indexes have been fixed and there is no clear way for the user to
know what the new CPU indexes are.
This introduces a @cpu_dt_id field in the CPUPPCState struct which
is initialized from @cpu_index by default and can be fixed later
to meet the device tree requirements.
This adds an API to handle @cpu_dt_id.
This removes kvmppc_fixup_cpu() as it is not more needed, @cpu_dt_id
is calculated in ppc_cpu_realize().
This will be used later in machine code.

More recent Power server chips (i.e. based on the 64 bit hash MMU)
support more than just the traditional 4k and 16M page sizes. This
can get quite complicated, because which page sizes are supported,
which combinations are supported within an MMU segment and how these
page sizes are encoded both in the SLB entry and the hash PTE can vary
depending on the CPU model (they are not specified by the
architecture). In addition the firmware or hypervisor may not permit
use of certain page sizes, for various reasons. Whether various page
sizes are supported on KVM, for example, depends on whether the PR or
HV variant of KVM is in use, and on the page size of the memory
backing the guest's RAM.
This patch adds information to the CPUState and cpu defs to describe
the supported page sizes and encodings. Since TCG does not yet
support any extended page sizes, we just set this to NULL in the
static CPU definitions, expanding this to the default 4k and 16M page
sizes when we initialize the cpu state. When using KVM, however, we
instead determine available page sizes using the new
KVM_PPC_GET_SMMU_INFO call. For old kernels without that call, we use
some defaults, with some guesswork which should do the right thing for
existing HV and PR implementations. The fallback might not be correct
for future versions, but that's ok, because they'll have

In future, we can extend this in future to override parts of the cpu spec

Altivec that it might be trivial to support, but VSX and DFP would

The pseries machine of qemu implements the TCE mechanism used as a
virtual IOMMU for the PAPR defined virtual IO devices. Because the
PAPR spec only defines a small DMA address space, the guest VIO
drivers need to update TCE mappings very frequently - the virtual
network device is particularly bad. This means many slow exits to
qemu to emulate the H_PUT_TCE hypercall.
Sufficiently recent kernels allow this to be mitigated by implementing
H_PUT_TCE in the host kernel. To make use of this, however, qemu
needs to initialize the necessary TCE tables, and map them into itself
so that the VIO device implementations can retrieve the mappings when
they access guest memory (which is treated as a virtual DMA
operation).
This patch adds the necessary calls to use the KVM TCE acceleration.

KVM on PowerPC used to have completely broken interrupt logic. Usually,
interrupts work by having a PIC that pulls a line up/down, so the CPU knows
that an interrupt is active. This line stays active until some action is
done to the PIC to release the line.
On KVM for PPC, we just checked if there was an interrupt pending and pulled
a line in the kernel module. We never released it though, hoping that kernel
space would just declare an interrupt as released when injected - which is
wrong.
To fix this, we need to completely redesign the interrupt injection logic.
Whenever an interrupt line gets triggered, we need to notify kernel space
that the line is up. Whenever it gets released, we do the same. This way
we can assure that the interrupt state is always known to kernel space.
This fixes random stalls in KVM guests on PowerPC that were waiting for
an interrupt while everyone else thought they received it already.

so there usually is a "timebase-frequency" property in the cpu leaf of the

With qemu, Linux's fallback timebase speed and qemu's internal timebase speed
match up. With KVM, that is no longer true. The guest is running at the same
timebase speed as the host.
This leads to massive timing problems. On my test machine, a "sleep 2" takes
