This merge's Nick's big P9 KVM series, original cover letter follows:
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: entry/exit optimisations
This reduces radix guest full entry/exit latency on POWER9 and POWER10
by 2x.
Nested HV guests should see smaller improvements in their L1 entry/exit,
but this is also combined with most L0 speedups also applying to nested
entry. nginx localhost throughput test in a SMP nested guest is improved
about 10% (in a direct guest it doesn't change much because it uses XIVE
for IPIs) when L0 and L1 are patched.
It does this in several main ways:
- Rearrange code to optimise SPR accesses. Mainly, avoid scoreboard
stalls.
- Test SPR values to avoid mtSPRs where possible. mtSPRs are expensive.
- Reduce mftb. mftb is expensive.
- Demand fault certain facilities to avoid saving and/or restoring them
(at the cost of fault when they are used, but this is mitigated over
a number of entries, like the facilities when context switching
processes). PM, TM, and EBB so far.
- Defer some sequences that are made just in case a guest is interrupted
in the middle of a critical section to the case where the guest is
scheduled on a different CPU, rather than every time (at the cost of
an extra IPI in this case). Namely the tlbsync sequence for radix with
GTSE, which is very expensive.
- Reduce locking, barriers, atomics related to the vcpus-per-vcore > 1
handling that the P9 path does not require.
On POWER9 and newer, rather than the complex HMI synchronisation and
subcore state, have each thread un-apply the guest TB offset before
calling into the early HMI handler.
This allows the subcore state to be avoided, including subcore enter
/ exit guest, which includes an expensive divide that shows up
slightly in profiles.

cpu_in_guest is set to determine if a CPU needs to be IPI'ed to exit
the guest and notice the need_tlb_flush bit.
This can be implemented as a global per-CPU pointer to the currently
running guest instead of per-guest cpumasks, saving 2 atomics per
entry/exit. P7/8 doesn't require cpu_in_guest, nor does a nested HV
(only the L0 does), so move it to the P9 HV path.

kvm_hstate.in_guest provides the equivalent of MSR[RI]=0 protection,
and it covers the existing MSR[RI]=0 section in late entry and early
exit, so clearing and setting MSR[RI] in those cases does not
actually do anything useful.
Remove the RI manipulation and replace it with comments. Make the
in_guest memory accesses a bit closer to a proper critical section
pattern. This speeds up guest entry/exit performance.
This also removes the MSR[RI] warnings which aren't very interesting
and would cause crashes if they hit due to causing an interrupt in
non-recoverable code.

mftb() is expensive and one can be avoided on nested guest dispatch.
If the time checking code distinguishes between the L0 timer and the
nested HV timer, then both can be tested in the same place with the
same mftb() value.
This also nicely illustrates the relationship between the L0 and nested
HV timers.

Use the existing TLB flushing logic to IPI the previous CPU and run the
necessary barriers before running a guest vCPU on a new physical CPU,
to do the necessary radix GTSE barriers for handling the case of an
interrupted guest tlbie sequence.
This requires the vCPU TLB flush sequence that is currently just done
on one thread, to be expanded to ensure the other threads execute a
ptesync, because causing them to exit the guest will no longer cause a
ptesync by itself.
This results in more IPIs than the TLB flush logic requires, but it's
a significant win for common case scheduling when the vCPU remains on
the same physical CPU.
This saves about 520 cycles (nearly 10%) on a guest entry+exit micro
benchmark on a POWER9.

Linux implements SPR save/restore including storage space for registers
in the task struct for process context switching. Make use of this
similarly to the way we make use of the context switching fp/vec save
restore.
This improves code reuse, allows some stack space to be saved, and helps
with avoiding VRSAVE updates if they are not required.

Use HFSCR facility disabling to implement demand faulting for TM, with
a hysteresis counter similar to the load_fp etc counters in context
switching that implement the equivalent demand faulting for userspace
facilities.
This speeds up guest entry/exit by avoiding the register save/restore
when a guest is not frequently using them. When a guest does use them
often, there will be some additional demand fault overhead, but these
are not commonly used facilities.

This moves PMU switch to guest as late as possible in entry, and switch
back to host as early as possible at exit. This helps the host get the
most perf coverage of KVM entry/exit code as possible.
This is slightly suboptimal for SPR scheduling point of view when the
PMU is enabled, but when perf is disabled there is no real difference.

Moving the mtmsrd after the host SPRs are saved and before the guest
SPRs start to be loaded can prevent an SPR scoreboard stall (because
the mtmsrd is L=1 type which does not cause context synchronisation.
This is also now more convenient to combined with the mtmsrd L=0
instruction to enable facilities just below, but that is not done yet.

The pmcregs_in_use field in the guest VPA can not be trusted to reflect
what the guest is doing with PMU SPRs, so the PMU must always be managed
(stopped) when exiting the guest, and SPR values set when entering the
guest to ensure it can't cause a covert channel or otherwise cause other
guests or the host to misbehave.
So prevent guest access to the PMU with HFSCR[PM] if pmcregs_in_use is
clear, and avoid the PMU SPR access on every partition switch. Guests
that set pmcregs_in_use incorrectly or when first setting it and using
the PMU will take a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt that will
bring in the PMU SPRs.

Rather than guest/host save/retsore functions, implement context switch
functions that take care of details like the VPA update for nested.
The reason to split these kind of helpers into explicit save/load
functions is mainly to schedule SPR access nicely, but PMU is a special
case where the load requires mtSPR (to stop counters) and other
difficulties, so there's less possibility to schedule those nicely. The
SPR accesses also have side-effects if the PMU is running, and in later
changes we keep the host PMU running as long as possible so this code
can be better profiled, which also complicates scheduling.

KVM PMU management code looks for particular frozen/disabled bits in
the PMU registers so it knows whether it must clear them when coming
out of a guest or not. Setting this up helps KVM make these optimisations
without getting confused. Longer term the better approach might be to
move guest/host PMU switching to the perf subsystem.

Provide a config option that controls the workaround added by commit
63279eeb7f ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Always save guest pmu for guest
capable of nesting"). The option defaults to y for now, but is expected
to go away within a few releases.
Nested capable guests running with the earlier commit 1782663897
("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV Nested: Reflect guest PMU in-use to L0 when guest
SPRs are live") will now indicate the PMU in-use status of their guests,
which means the parent does not need to unconditionally save the PMU for
nested capable guests.
After this latest round of performance optimisations, this option costs
about 540 cycles or 10% entry/exit performance on a POWER9 nested-capable
guest.
