* powerpc, KVM: Split HVMODE_206 cpu feature bit into separate HV and ↵Paul Mackerras2011-07-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | architecture bits This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01 and set that for PPC970 and derivatives. Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1 bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that hypervisor mode is not useful. Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206) The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the provided mask are set. Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

* powerpc: Set up LPCR for running guest partitionsPaul Mackerras2011-07-121-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | In hypervisor mode, the LPCR controls several aspects of guest partitions, including virtual partition memory mode, and also controls whether the hypervisor decrementer interrupts are enabled. This sets up LPCR at boot time so that guest partitions will use a virtual real memory area (VRMA) composed of 16MB large pages, and hypervisor decrementer interrupts are disabled.

* powerpc: Initialize LPCR:DPFD on power7 to a sane defaultBenjamin Herrenschmidt2011-04-201-0/+7
| | | | | | | | This sets the default data stream prefetch size for operating systems that don't set their own value in DSCR. We use 4 which is "medium". Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Base support for exceptions using HSRR0/1Benjamin Herrenschmidt2011-04-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Pass the register type to the prolog, also provides alternate "HV" version of hardware interrupt (0x500) and adjust LPES accordingly We tag those interrupts by setting bit 0x2 in the trap number Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Define CPU feature for Architected 2.06 HV modeBenjamin Herrenschmidt2011-04-201-0/+65
This bit indicates that we are operating in hypervisor mode on a CPU compliant to architecture 2.06 or later (currently server only). We set it on POWER7 and have a boot-time CPU setup function that clears it if MSR:HV isn't set (booting under a hypervisor). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
