Merge tag 'kvm_mips_4.12_1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/kvm-mips
From: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com>
KVM: MIPS: VZ support, Octeon III, and TLBR
Add basic support for the MIPS Virtualization Module (generally known as
MIPS VZ) in KVM. We primarily support the ImgTec P5600, P6600, I6400,
and Cavium Octeon III cores so far. Support is included for the
following VZ / guest hardware features:
- MIPS32 and MIPS64, r5 (VZ requires r5 or later) and r6
- TLBs with GuestID (IMG cores) or Root ASID Dealias (Octeon III)
- Shared physical root/guest TLB (IMG cores)
- FPU / MSA
- Cop0 timer (up to 1GHz for now due to soft timer limit)
- Segmentation control (EVA)
- Hardware page table walker (HTW) both for root and guest TLB
Also included is a proper implementation of the TLBR instruction for the
trap & emulate MIPS KVM implementation.
Preliminary MIPS architecture changes are applied directly with Ralf's
ack.
