KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix TB corruption in guest exit path on HMI interrupt
When a guest is assigned to a core it converts the host Timebase (TB) into guest TB by adding guest timebase offset before entering into guest. During guest exit it restores the guest TB to host TB. This means under certain conditions (Guest migration) host TB and guest TB can differ. When we get an HMI for TB related issues the opal HMI handler would try fixing errors and restore the correct host TB value. With no guest running, we don't have any issues. But with guest running on the core we run into TB corruption issues. If we get an HMI while in the guest, the current HMI handler invokes opal hmi handler before forcing guest to exit. The guest exit path subtracts the guest TB offset from the current TB value which may have already been restored with host value by opal hmi handler. This leads to incorrect host and guest TB values. With split-core, things become more complex. With split-core, TB also gets split and each subcore gets its own TB register. When a hmi handler fixes a TB error and restores the TB value, it affects all the TB values of sibling subcores on the same core. On TB errors all the thread in the core gets HMI. With existing code, the individual threads call opal hmi handle independently which can easily throw TB out of sync if we have guest running on subcores. Hence we will need to co-ordinate with all the threads before making opal hmi handler call followed by TB resync. This patch introduces a sibling subcore state structure (shared by all threads in the core) in paca which holds information about whether sibling subcores are in Guest mode or host mode. An array in_guest[] of size MAX_SUBCORE_PER_CORE=4 is used to maintain the state of each subcore. The subcore id is used as index into in_guest[] array. Only primary thread entering/exiting the guest is responsible to set/unset its designated array element. On TB error, we get HMI interrupt on every thread on the core. Upon HMI, this patch will now force guest to vacate the core/subcore. Primary thread from each subcore will then turn off its respective bit from the above bitmap during the guest exit path just after the guest->host partition switch is complete. All other threads that have just exited the guest OR were already in host will wait until all other subcores clears their respective bit. Once all the subcores turn off their respective bit, all threads will will make call to opal hmi handler. It is not necessary that opal hmi handler would resync the TB value for every HMI interrupts. It would do so only for the HMI caused due to TB errors. For rest, it would not touch TB value. Hence to make things simpler, primary thread would call TB resync explicitly once for each core immediately after opal hmi handler instead of subtracting guest offset from TB. TB resync call will restore the TB with host value. Thus we can be sure about the TB state. One of the primary threads exiting the guest will take up the responsibility of calling TB resync. It will use one of the top bits (bit 63) from subcore state flags bitmap to make the decision. The first primary thread (among the subcores) that is able to set the bit will have to call the TB resync. Rest all other threads will wait until TB resync is complete. Once TB resync is complete all threads will then proceed. Signed-off-by:Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:
