This relaxes the restriction on using PR KVM on POWER9.  The existing
code does work inside a guest partition running in HPT mode, because
hypercalls such as H_ENTER use the old HPTE format, not the new
format used by POWER9, and so no change to PR KVM's HPT manipulation
code is required.  PR KVM will still refuse to run if the kernel is
using radix translation or if it is running bare-metal.

Paul,

I have built a 4.16.0 kernel + this patch and booted the L1 guest
with "disable_radix=on". I could then successfully boot a L2 guest,
using the same kernel for simplicity. Both guests using identical
fedora28 images. So it seems to be working at first sight.


But, if I boot the L2 guest with the default fedora28 kernel, ie
4.16.9-300.fc28.ppc64le, the L2 guest hangs.

I suggest you find the address of log_buf from System.map, read that
via the qemu command line (log_buf is a pointer), then dump the memory
it points to, so you can see the panic message.

Another thing to try would be to do the same test on a POWER8.

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I could reproduced the problem if I boot the L2 guest with an upstream
kernel (commit d7b66b4ab034). I've tried to dump the log_buf but things
didn't go well:

$ grep 'd log_buf' System.map 
c000000001304f08 d log_buf_len
c000000001304f10 d log_buf

(qemu) x 0xc000000001304f08
c000000001304f08: Cannot access memory

Since 4.16.0 works, I could bisect down to:

commit dbfcf3cb9c681aa0c5d0bb46068f98d5b1823dd3
Author: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
Date:   Thu Feb 16 16:03:39 2017 +1100

    powerpc/64: Call H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL when running as a HPT guest on POWER9

The hcall is handled by QEMU, which then calls the KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU
ioctl, which fails since PR KVM doesn't implement it, and H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL
fails with H_PARAMETER. The panic hence come from...

static int pseries_lpar_register_process_table(unsigned long base,
			unsigned long page_size, unsigned long table_size)
{
	.
	.
	.
	for (;;) {
		rc = plpar_hcall_norets(H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL, flags, base,
					page_size, table_size);
		if (!H_IS_LONG_BUSY(rc))
			break;
		mdelay(get_longbusy_msecs(rc));
	}
	if (rc != H_SUCCESS) {
		pr_err("Failed to register process table (rc=%ld)\n", rc);
		BUG();
		^^^
		here.

The changelog of commit dbfcf3cb9c68 reads:

" If the hypervisor is able to support both radix and HPT guests, it would
  be entitled to defer allocation of the HPT until the H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL
  call"

But in our case, the hypervisor is QEMU/PR KVM in a L1 guest booted with radix
disabled. It is hence not "entitled to defer allocation of the HPT", and QEMU
allocates one during initial machine reset.

If I patch QEMU to make H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL a nop when KVM_CAP_PPC_MMU_RADIX
returns 0, then the L2 kernel boots like a charm.

So I'm wondering if the guest should even call H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL in this
case, since there's nothing to do ? 

Also, peeking into PAPR, I see that H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL is mandatory only "If
the platform supports the In-Memory Table Translation Option", which isn't
the case here. This is supposed to be advertised through the "hcall-imtt"
function set in the OF property "ibm,hypertas-functions" in the /rtas node.

I guess a correct behavior would be for QEMU to advertise "hcall-imtt"
when it supports both radix and hash, and the kernel should only call
H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL if it is available.

Of course, neither QEMU, nor the kernel seem to care about "hcall-imtt" today...
so I guess the easier way is to fix H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL in QEMU.

No surprise, it continues to work on a POWER8, since:

               /*
                * On POWER9, we need to do a H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL hcall
                * to inform the hypervisor that we wish to use the HPT.
                */
               if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ARCH_300))
                       register_process_table(0, 0, 0);

I would use "xp 0x1304f08".

Hmmm.  Maybe the kernel should check the ibm,architecture-vec-5
property in /chosen and only register the process table if it
indicates the hypervisor can support either hash or radix.

Dumb me, virtual addresses don't work this early... :-\

And the panic message confirms that we're hitting the BUG()
in pseries_lpar_register_process_table().

Indeed the kernel could do that, but it is a bit unfortunate anyway for
H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL(0, 0, 0, 0) to fail with H_PARAMETER, depending on
the hypervisor being PR KVM or HV KVM... As an alternative, I've sent
a patch for QEMU to avoid calling KVM_PPC_CONFIGURE_V3_MMU when the HPT
is owned by QEMU in userspace.
