In the recent x2apic cleanup I got two things really wrong:
1) The safety check in __disable_x2apic which allows the function to
be called unconditionally is backwards. The check is there to
prevent access to the apic MSR in case that the machine has no
apic. Though right now it returns if the machine has an apic and
therefor the disabling of x2apic is never invoked.
2) x2apic_disable() sets x2apic_mode to 0 after registering the local
apic. That's wrong, because register_lapic_address() checks x2apic
mode and therefor takes the wrong code path.
This results in boot failures on machines with x2apic preenabled by
BIOS and can also lead to an fatal MSR access on machines without
apic.
The solutions are simple:
1) Correct the sanity check for apic availability
2) Clear x2apic_mode _before_ calling register_lapic_address()

In 64 bit kernels, the Fixed Point Exception Register (XER) is a 64
bit field (e.g. in kvm_regs and kvm_vcpu_arch) and in most places it is
accessed as such.
This patch corrects places where it is accessed as a 32 bit field by a
64 bit kernel. In some cases this is via a 32 bit load or store
instruction which, depending on endianness, will cause either the
lower or upper 32 bits to be missed. In another case it is cast as a
u32, causing the upper 32 bits to be cleared.
This patch corrects those places by extending the access methods to
64 bits.

This adds implementations for the H_CLEAR_REF (test and clear reference
bit) and H_CLEAR_MOD (test and clear changed bit) hypercalls.
When clearing the reference or change bit in the guest view of the HPTE,
we also have to clear it in the real HPTE so that we can detect future
references or changes. When we do so, we transfer the R or C bit value
to the rmap entry for the underlying host page so that kvm_age_hva_hv(),
kvm_test_age_hva_hv() and kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() know that the page
has been referenced and/or changed.
These hypercalls are not used by Linux guests. These implementations

This fixes a bug in the tracking of pages that get modified by the
guest. If the guest creates a large-page HPTE, writes to memory
somewhere within the large page, and then removes the HPTE, we only
record the modified state for the first normal page within the large
page, when in fact the guest might have modified some other normal
page within the large page.
To fix this we use some unused bits in the rmap entry to record the
order (log base 2) of the size of the page that was modified, when
removing an HPTE. Then in kvm_test_clear_dirty_npages() we use that
order to return the correct number of modified pages.
The same thing could in principle happen when removing a HPTE at the
host's request, i.e. when paging out a page, except that we never
page out large pages, and the guest can only create large-page HPTEs
if the guest RAM is backed by large pages. However, we also fix
this case for the sake of future-proofing.
The reference bit is also subject to the same loss of information. We
don't make the same fix here for the reference bit because there isn't
an interface for userspace to find out which pages the guest has
referenced, whereas there is one for userspace to find out which pages
the guest has modified. Because of this loss of information, the
kvm_age_hva_hv() and kvm_test_age_hva_hv() functions might incorrectly
say that a page has not been referenced when it has, but that doesn't
matter greatly because we never page or swap out large pages.

The reference (R) and change (C) bits in a HPT entry can be set by
hardware at any time up until the HPTE is invalidated and the TLB
invalidation sequence has completed. This means that when removing
a HPTE, we need to read the HPTE after the invalidation sequence has
completed in order to obtain reliable values of R and C. The code
in kvmppc_do_h_remove() used to do this. However, commit 6f22bd3265
("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make HTAB code LE host aware") removed the
read after invalidation as a side effect of other changes. This
restores the read of the HPTE after invalidation.
The user-visible effect of this bug would be that when migrating a
guest, there is a small probability that a page modified by the guest
and then unmapped by the guest might not get re-transmitted and thus
the destination might end up with a stale copy of the page.

This builds on the ability to run more than one vcore on a physical
core by using the micro-threading (split-core) modes of the POWER8
chip. Previously, only vcores from the same VM could be run together,
and (on POWER8) only if they had just one thread per core. With the
ability to split the core on guest entry and unsplit it on guest exit,
we can run up to 8 vcpu threads from up to 4 different VMs, and we can
run multiple vcores with 2 or 4 vcpus per vcore.
Dynamic micro-threading is only available if the static configuration
of the cores is whole-core mode (unsplit), and only on POWER8.
To manage this, we introduce a new kvm_split_mode struct which is
shared across all of the subcores in the core, with a pointer in the
paca on each thread. In addition we extend the core_info struct to
have information on each subcore. When deciding whether to add a
vcore to the set already on the core, we now have two possibilities:
(a) piggyback the vcore onto an existing subcore, or (b) start a new
subcore.
Currently, when any vcpu needs to exit the guest and switch to host
virtual mode, we interrupt all the threads in all subcores and switch
the core back to whole-core mode. It may be possible in future to
allow some of the subcores to keep executing in the guest while
subcore 0 switches to the host, but that is not implemented in this
patch.
This adds a module parameter called dynamic_mt_modes which controls
which micro-threading (split-core) modes the code will consider, as a
bitmap. In other words, if it is 0, no micro-threading mode is
considered; if it is 2, only 2-way micro-threading is considered; if
it is 4, only 4-way, and if it is 6, both 2-way and 4-way
micro-threading mode will be considered. The default is 6.
With this, we now have secondary threads which are the primary thread
for their subcore and therefore need to do the MMU switch. These
threads will need to be started even if they have no vcpu to run, so
we use the vcore pointer in the PACA rather than the vcpu pointer to
trigger them.
It is now possible for thread 0 to find that an exit has been
requested before it gets to switch the subcore state to the guest. In
that case we haven't added the guest's timebase offset to the
timebase, so we need to be careful not to subtract the offset in the
guest exit path. In fact we just skip the whole path that switches
back to host context, since we haven't switched to the guest context.

When running a virtual core of a guest that is configured with fewer
threads per core than the physical cores have, the extra physical
threads are currently unused. This makes it possible to use them to
run one or more other virtual cores from the same guest when certain
conditions are met. This applies on POWER7, and on POWER8 to guests
with one thread per virtual core. (It doesn't apply to POWER8 guests
with multiple threads per vcore because they require a 1-1 virtual to
physical thread mapping in order to be able to use msgsndp and the
TIR.)
The idea is that we maintain a list of preempted vcores for each
physical cpu (i.e. each core, since the host runs single-threaded).
Then, when a vcore is about to run, it checks to see if there are
any vcores on the list for its physical cpu that could be
piggybacked onto this vcore's execution. If so, those additional
vcores are put into state VCORE_PIGGYBACK and their runnable VCPU
threads are started as well as the original vcore, which is called
the master vcore.
After the vcores have exited the guest, the extra ones are put back
onto the preempted list if any of their VCPUs are still runnable and
not idle.
This means that vcpu->arch.ptid is no longer necessarily the same as
the physical thread that the vcpu runs on. In order to make it easier
for code that wants to send an IPI to know which CPU to target, we
now store that in a new field in struct vcpu_arch, called thread_cpu.
