Due to some merge conflict, this file ended being alone under
Documentation/virtual.
The file itself is almost at ReST format. Just minor
adjustments are needed:
- Adjust title markup;
- Adjust a list identation;
- add a literal block markup;
- Add some blank lines.

The architecture states that we need to reset local IRQs for all CPU
resets. Because the old reset interface did not support the normal CPU
reset we never did that on a normal reset.
Let's implement an interface for the missing normal and clear resets
and reset all local IRQs, registers and control structures as stated
in the architecture.
Userspace might already reset the registers via the vcpu run struct,
but as we need the interface for the interrupt clearing part anyway,
we implement the resets fully and don't rely on userspace to reset the
rest.

KVM: Add support for secure guests under the Protected Execution
Framework (PEF) Ultravisor on POWER.
This enables secure memory to be represented as device memory,
which provides a way for the host to keep track of which pages of a
secure guest have been moved into secure memory managed by the
ultravisor and are no longer accessible by the host, and manage
movement of pages between secure and normal memory.

Add support for reset of secure guest via a new ioctl KVM_PPC_SVM_OFF.
This ioctl will be issued by QEMU during reset and includes the
the following steps:
- Release all device pages of the secure guest.
- Ask UV to terminate the guest via UV_SVM_TERMINATE ucall
- Unpin the VPA pages so that they can be migrated back to secure
side when guest becomes secure again. This is required because
pinned pages can't be migrated.
- Reinit the partition scoped page tables
After these steps, guest is ready to issue UV_ESM call once again
to switch to secure mode.

Add a new attribute to both XIVE and XICS-on-XIVE KVM devices so that
userspace can tell how many interrupt servers it needs. If a VM needs
less than the current default of KVM_MAX_VCPUS (2048), we can allocate
less VPs in OPAL. Combined with a core stride (VSMT) that matches the
number of guest threads per core, this may substantially increases the
number of VMs that can run concurrently with an in-kernel XIVE device.
Since the legacy XIVE KVM device is exposed to userspace through the
XICS KVM API, a new attribute group is added to it for this purpose.
While here, fix the syntax of the existing KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES
in the XICS documentation.

Introduce a paravirtualization interface for KVM/arm64 based on the
"Arm Paravirtualized Time for Arm-Base Systems" specification DEN 0057A.
This only adds the details about "Stolen Time" as the details of "Live
Physical Time" have not been fully agreed.
User space can specify a reserved area of memory for the guest and
inform KVM to populate the memory with information on time that the host
kernel has stolen from the guest.
A hypercall interface is provided for the guest to interrogate the
hypervisor's support for this interface and the location of the shared
memory structures.

In some scenarios, such as buggy guest or incorrect configuration of the
VMM and firmware description data, userspace will detect a memory access
to a portion of the IPA, which is not mapped to any MMIO region.
For this purpose, the appropriate action is to inject an external abort
to the guest. The kernel already has functionality to inject an
external abort, but we need to wire up a signal from user space that
lets user space tell the kernel to do this.
It turns out, we already have the set event functionality which we can
perfectly reuse for this.

For a long time, if a guest accessed memory outside of a memslot using
any of the load/store instructions in the architecture which doesn't
supply decoding information in the ESR_EL2 (the ISV bit is not set), the
kernel would print the following message and terminate the VM as a
result of returning -ENOSYS to userspace:
load/store instruction decoding not implemented
The reason behind this message is that KVM assumes that all accesses
outside a memslot is an MMIO access which should be handled by
userspace, and we originally expected to eventually implement some sort
of decoding of load/store instructions where the ISV bit was not set.
However, it turns out that many of the instructions which don't provide
decoding information on abort are not safe to use for MMIO accesses, and
the remaining few that would potentially make sense to use on MMIO
accesses, such as those with register writeback, are not used in
practice. It also turns out that fetching an instruction from guest
memory can be a pretty horrible affair, involving stopping all CPUs on
SMP systems, handling multiple corner cases of address translation in
software, and more. It doesn't appear likely that we'll ever implement
this in the kernel.
What is much more common is that a user has misconfigured his/her guest
and is actually not accessing an MMIO region, but just hitting some
random hole in the IPA space. In this scenario, the error message above
is almost misleading and has led to a great deal of confusion over the
years.
It is, nevertheless, ABI to userspace, and we therefore need to
introduce a new capability that userspace explicitly enables to change
behavior.
This patch introduces KVM_CAP_ARM_NISV_TO_USER (NISV meaning Non-ISV)
which does exactly that, and introduces a new exit reason to report the
event to userspace. User space can then emulate an exception to the
guest, restart the guest, suspend the guest, or take any other
appropriate action as per the policy of the running system.

When calling the KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG ioctl, userspace might request
the next instruction to be single stepped via the
KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP control bit of the kvm_guest_debug structure.
This patch adds the KVM_CAP_PPC_GUEST_DEBUG_SSTEP capability in order
to inform userspace about the state of single stepping support.
We currently don't have support for guest single stepping implemented
in Book3S HV so the capability is only present for Book3S PR and
BookE.

This ioctl set specified MSRs one by one. If it fails to set an MSR,

KVM, etc..., it stops processing the MSR list and returns the number of

PPC KVM update for 5.4

with interrupts arriving after free_irq, causing host hangs and crashes.

While parts of the VGIC support a large number of vcpus (we
bravely allow up to 512), other parts are more limited.
One of these limits is visible in the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which
only allows 256 vcpus to be signalled when using the CPU or PPI
types. Unfortunately, we've cornered ourselves badly by allocating
all the bits in the irq field.
Since the irq_type subfield (8 bit wide) is currently only taking
the values 0, 1 and 2 (and we have been careful not to allow anything
else), let's reduce this field to only 4 bits, and allocate the
remaining 4 bits to a vcpu2_index, which acts as a multiplier:
vcpu_id = 256 * vcpu2_index + vcpu_index
With that, and a new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_IRQ_LINE_LAYOUT_2)
allowing this to be discovered, it becomes possible to inject
PPIs to up to 4096 vcpus. But please just don't.
Whilst we're there, add a clarification about the use of KVM_IRQ_LINE
on arm, which is not completely conditionned by KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP.
