Currently, the emulated pSeries machine requires the use of the
-kernel parameter in order to explicitly load a guest kernel. This
means booting from the virtual disk, cdrom or network is not possible.
This patch addresses this limitation by inserting a within-partition
firmware image (derived from the "SLOF" free Open Firmware project).
If -kernel is not specified, qemu will now load the SLOF image, which
has access to the qemu boot device list through the device tree, and
can boot from any of the usual virtual devices.
In order to support the new firmware, an extension to the emulated
machine/hypervisor is necessary. Unlike Linux, which expects
multi-CPU entry to be handled kexec() style, the SLOF firmware expects
only one CPU to be active at entry, and to use a hypervisor RTAS
method to enable the other CPUs one by one.
This patch also implements this 'start-cpu' method, so that SLOF can
start the secondary CPUs and marshal them into the kexec() holding
pattern ready for entry into the guest OS. Linux should, and in the
future might directly use the start-cpu method to enable initially
disabled CPUs, but for now it does require kexec() entry.

Shared-processor partitions are those where a CPU is time-sliced between
partitions, rather than being permanently dedicated to a single
partition. qemu emulated partitions, since they are just scheduled with
the qemu user process, behave mostly like shared processor partitions.
In order to better support shared processor partitions (splpar), PAPR
defines the "VPA" (Virtual Processor Area), a shared memory communication
channel between the hypervisor and partitions. There are also two
additional shared memory communication areas for specialized purposes
associated with the VPA.
A VPA is not essential for operating an splpar, though it can be necessary
for obtaining accurate performance measurements in the presence of
runtime partition switching.
Most importantly, however, the VPA is a prerequisite for PAPR's H_CEDE,
hypercall, which allows a partition OS to give up it's shared processor
timeslices to other partitions when idle.
This patch implements the VPA and H_CEDE hypercalls in qemu. We don't
implement any of the more advanced statistics which can be communicated
through the VPA. However, this is enough to make normal pSeries kernels
do an effective power-save idle on an emulated pSeries, significantly
reducing the host load of a qemu emulated pSeries running an idle guest OS.

Usually, PAPR virtual IO devices use a virtual IOMMU mechanism, TCEs,
to mediate all DMA transfers. While this is necessary for some sorts of
operation, it can be complex to program and slow for others.
This patch implements a mechanism for bypassing TCE translation, treating
"IO" addresses as plain (guest) physical memory addresses. This has two
main uses:
* Simple, but 64-bit aware programs like firmwares can use the VIO devices
without the complexity of TCE setup.
* The guest OS can optionally use the TCE bypass to improve performance in
suitable situations.
The mechanism used is a per-device flag which disables TCE translation.
The flag is toggled with some (hypervisor-implemented) RTAS methods.

PAPR defines an interrupt control architecture which is logically divided
into ICS (Interrupt Control Presentation, each unit is responsible for
presenting interrupts to a particular "interrupt server", i.e. CPU) and
ICS (Interrupt Control Source, each unit responsible for one or more
hardware interrupts as numbered globally across the system). All PAPR
virtual IO devices expect to deliver interrupts via this mechanism. In
Linux, this interrupt controller system is handled by the "xics" driver.
On pSeries systems, access to the interrupt controller is virtualized via
hypercalls and RTAS methods. However, the virtualized interface is very
similar to the underlying interrupt controller hardware, and similar PICs
exist un-virtualized in some other systems.
This patch implements both the ICP and ICS sides of the PAPR interrupt
controller. For now, only the hypercall virtualized interface is provided,
however it would be relatively straightforward to graft an emulated
register interface onto the underlying interrupt logic if we want to add
a machine with a hardware ICS/ICP system in the future.
There are some limitations in this implementation: it is assumed for now
that only one instance of the ICS exists, although a full xics system can
have several, each responsible for a different group of hardware irqs.
ICP/ICS can handle both level-sensitve (LSI) and message signalled (MSI)
interrupt inputs. For now, this implementation supports only MSI
interrupts, since that is used by PAPR virtual IO devices.

This patch adds several small utility hypercalls and RTAS methods to
the pSeries platform emulation. Specifically:
* 'display-character' rtas call
This just prints a character to the console, it's occasionally used
for early debug of the OS. The support includes a hack to make this
RTAS call respond on the normal token value present on real hardware,
since some early debugging tools just assume this value without
checking the device tree.
* 'get-time-of-day' rtas call
This one just takes the host real time, converts to the PAPR described
format and returns it to the guest.
* 'power-off' rtas call
This one shuts down the emulated system.
* H_DABR hypercall
On pSeries, the DABR debug register is usually a hypervisor resource
and virtualized through this hypercall. If the hypercall is not
present, Linux will under some circumstances attempt to manipulate the
DABR directly which will fail on this emulated machine.
This stub implementation is enough to stop that behaviour, although it
doesn't actually implement the requested DABR operations as yet.

On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-Time
Abstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implements
a number of low-level, infrequently used operations. On logical partitions
under a hypervisor, many of the RTAS functions require hypervisor
privilege. For simplicity, therefore, hypervisor systems typically
implement the in-partition RTAS as just a tiny wrapper around a hypercall
which actually implements the various RTAS functions.
This patch implements such a hypercall based RTAS for our emulated pSeries
machine. A tiny in-partition "firmware" calls a new hypercall, which
looks up available RTAS services in a table.

On pSeries logical partitions, excepting the old POWER4-style full system
partitions, the guest does not have direct access to the hardware page
table. Instead, the pagetable exists in hypervisor memory, and the guest
must manipulate it with hypercalls.
However, our current pSeries emulation more closely resembles the old
style where the guest must set up and handle the pagetables itself. This
patch converts it to act like a modern partition.
This involves two things: first, the hash translation path is modified to
permit the has table to be stored externally to the emulated machine's
RAM. The pSeries machine init code configures the CPUs to use this mode.
Secondly, we emulate the PAPR hypercalls for manipulating the external
hashed page table.

This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine

H_PUT_TERM_CHAR - so that a (write-only) console is available.
Multiple CPUs are permitted, with SMP entry handled kexec() style.
The machine so far more resembles an old POWER4 style "full system
partition" rather than a modern LPAR, in that the guest manages the
page tables directly, rather than via hypercalls.
The machine requires qemu to be configured with --enable-fdt. The

Currently, get_segment() has a variable called hash. However it doesn't
(quite) get the hash value for the ppc hashed page table. Instead it
gets the hash shifted - effectively the offset of the hash bucket within
the hash page table.
As well, as being different to the normal use of plain "hash" in the
architecture documentation, this usage necessitates some awkward 32/64
dependent masks and shifts which clutter up the path in get_segment().
This patch alters the code to use raw hash values through get_segment()
including storing raw hashes instead of pte group offsets in the ctx
structure. This cleans up the path noticeably.
This does necessitate 32/64 dependent shifts when the hash values are
taken out of the ctx structure and used, but those paths already have
32/64 bit variants so this is less awkward than it was in get_segment().

On ppc machines with hash table MMUs, the special purpose register SDR1
contains both the base address of the encoded size (hashed) page tables.
At present, we interpret the SDR1 value within the address translation
path. But because the encodings of the size for 32-bit and 64-bit are
different this makes for a confusing branch on the MMU type with a bunch
of curly shifts and masks in the middle of the translate path.
This patch cleans things up by moving the interpretation on SDR1 into the
helper function handling the write to the register. This leaves a simple
pre-sanitized base address and mask for the hash table in the CPUState
structure which is easier to work with in the translation path.
This makes the translation path more readable. It addresses the FIXME
comment currently in the mtsdr1 helper, by validating the SDR1 value during
interpretation. Finally it opens the way for emulating a pSeries-style
partition where the hash table used for translation is not mapped into
the guests's RAM.

qemu already includes support for the popcntb instruction introduced

However, the logic is slightly incorrect: it will generate results
truncated to 32-bits when the CPU is in 32-bit mode. This is not
normal for powerpc - generally arithmetic instructions on a 64-bit
powerpc cpu will generate full 64 bit results, it's just that only the
low 32 bits will be significant for condition codes.

PowerPC and POWER chips since the POWER4 and 970 have a special
hypervisor mode, and a corresponding form of the system call
instruction which traps to the hypervisor.
qemu currently has stub implementations of hypervisor mode. That
is, the outline is there to allow qemu to run a PowerPC hypervisor
under emulation. There are a number of details missing so this
won't actually work at present, but the idea is there.
What there is no provision at all, is for qemu to instead emulate
the hypervisor itself. That is to have hypercalls trap into qemu
and their result be emulated from qemu, rather than running
hypervisor code within the emulated system.
Hypervisor hardware aware KVM implementations are in the works and
it would be useful for debugging and development to also allow
full emulation of the same para-virtualized guests as such a KVM.
