This patch allows for a mode on POWER9 hosts where we control all the threads of a core, much as we do on POWER8. The mode is controlled by a module parameter on the kvm_hv module, called "indep_threads_mode". The normal mode on POWER9 is the "independent threads" mode, with indep_threads_mode=Y, where the host is in SMT4 mode (or in fact any desired SMT mode) and each thread independently enters and exits from KVM guests without reference to what other threads in the core are doing. If indep_threads_mode is set to N at the point when a VM is started, KVM will expect every core that the guest runs on to be in single threaded mode (that is, threads 1, 2 and 3 offline), and will set the flag that prevents secondary threads from coming online. We can still use all four threads; the code that implements dynamic micro-threading on POWER8 will become active in over-commit situations and will allow up to three other VCPUs to be run on the secondary threads of the core whenever a VCPU is run. The reason for wanting this mode is that this will allow us to run HPT guests on a radix host on a POWER9 machine that does not support "mixed mode", that is, having some threads in a core be in HPT mode while other threads are in radix mode. It will also make it possible to implement a "strict threads" mode in future, if desired.
