The instruction authority mask register (IAMR) can be used to restrict
permissions for instruction fetch accesses on a per key basis for each
of 32 different key values. Access permissions are derived based on the
specific key value stored in the relevant page table entry.
The IAMR was introduced in, and is present in processors since, POWER8
(ISA v2.07). Thus introduce a function to check access permissions based
on the pte key value and the contents of the IAMR when handling a page
fault to ensure sufficient access permissions for an instruction fetch.
A hash pte contains a key value in bits 2:3|52:54 of the second double word
of the pte, this key value gives an index into the IAMR which contains 32
2-bit access masks. If the least significant bit of the 2-bit access mask
corresponding to the given key value is set (IAMR[key] & 0x1 == 0x1) then
the instruction fetch is not permitted and an ISI is generated accordingly.
While we're here, add defines for the srr1 bits to be set for the ISI for
clarity.
e.g.
pte:
dw0 [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]
dw1 [XX01XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX010XXXXXXXXX]
^^ ^^^
key = 01010 (0x0a)
IAMR: [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX01XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]
^^
Access mask = 0b01
Test access mask: 0b01 & 0x1 == 0x1
Least significant bit of the access mask is set, thus the instruction fetch
is not permitted. We should generate an instruction storage interrupt (ISI)
with bit 42 of SRR1 set to indicate access precluded by virtual page class
key protection.

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:

Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
