powerpc: Copy down exception vectors after feature fixups

2011-11-16T03:47:54+00:00

kdump fails because we try to execute an HV only instruction. Feature
fixups are being applied after we copy the exception vectors down to 0
so they miss out on any updates.

We have always had this issue but it only became critical in v3.0
when we added CFAR support (breaks POWER5) and v3.1 when we added
POWERNV (breaks everyone).

powerpc: add export.h to files making use of EXPORT_SYMBOL

2011-10-31T23:30:37+00:00

With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence
of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed.
Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the
device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now.

Fix an unresolved symbol with CONFIG_KVM_GUEST plus CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on

KVM: PPC: Enable napping only for Book3s_64

2010-10-24T08:52:19+00:00

Before I incorrectly enabled napping also for BookE, which would result in
needless dcache flushes. Since we only need to force enable napping on
Book3s_64 because it doesn't go into MSR_POW otherwise, we can just #ifdef
that code to this particular platform.

KVM: PPC: Force enable nap on KVM

2010-10-24T08:52:15+00:00

There are some heuristics in the PPC power management code that try to find
out if the particular hardware we're running on supports proper power management
or just hangs the machine when going into nap mode.

Since we know that KVM is safe with nap, let's force enable it in the PV code
once we're certain that we are on a KVM VM.

KVM: PPC: Make PV mtmsrd L=1 work with r30 and r31

2010-10-24T08:52:14+00:00

We had an arbitrary limitation in mtmsrd L=1 that kept us from using r30 and
r31 as input registers. Let's get rid of that and get more potential speedups!

KVM: PPC: Make PV mtmsr work with r30 and r31

2010-10-24T08:52:13+00:00

So far we've been restricting ourselves to r0-r29 as registers an mtmsr
instruction could use. This was bad, as there are some code paths in
Linux actually using r30.

So let's instead handle all registers gracefully and get rid of that
stupid limitation

KVM: PPC: Add mtsrin PV code

2010-10-24T08:52:12+00:00

This is the guest side of the mtsr acceleration. Using this a guest can now
call mtsrin with almost no overhead as long as it ensures that it only uses
it with (MSR_IR|MSR_DR) == 0. Linux does that, so we're good.

KVM: PPC: Add feature bitmap for magic page

2010-10-24T08:52:09+00:00

We will soon add SR PV support to the shared page, so we need some
infrastructure that allows the guest to query for features KVM exports.

This patch adds a second return value to the magic mapping that
indicated to the guest which features are available.

KVM: PPC: Fix CONFIG_KVM_GUEST && !CONFIG_KVM case

2010-10-24T08:51:44+00:00

When CONFIG_KVM_GUEST is selected, but CONFIG_KVM is not, we were missing
some defines in asm-offsets.c and included too many headers at other places.

This patch makes above configuration work.
