* KVM: powerpc: Map guest userspace with TID=0 mappingsHollis Blanchard2008-10-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace. The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time performance improvement: about 30%.

* KVM: ppc: Write only modified shadow entries into the TLB on exitHollis Blanchard2008-10-151-17/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | Track which TLB entries need to be written, instead of overwriting everything below the high water mark. Typically only a single guest TLB entry will be modified in a single exit. Guest boot time performance improvement: about 15%.

* KVM: ppc: Stop saving host TLB stateHollis Blanchard2008-10-151-14/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We're saving the host TLB state to memory on every exit, but never using it. Originally I had thought that we'd want to restore host TLB for heavyweight exits, but that could actually hurt when context switching to an unrelated host process (i.e. not qemu). Since this decreases the performance penalty of all exits, this patch improves guest boot time by about 15%.

* KVM: ppc: PowerPC 440 KVM implementationHollis Blanchard2008-04-271-0/+436
This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace support other SoC/board combinations should work.) See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.
