Implement support for hash guests under hash host. This has to save and
restore the host SLB, and ensure that the MMU is off while switching
into the guest SLB.
POWER9 and later CPUs now always go via the P9 path. The "fast" guest
mode is now renamed to the P9 mode, which is consistent with its
functionality and the rest of the naming.

Implement hash guest support. Guest entry/exit has to restore and
save/clear the SLB, plus several other bits to accommodate hash guests
in the P9 path. Radix host, hash guest support is removed from the P7/8
path.
The HPT hcalls and faults are not handled in real mode, which is a
performance regression. A worst-case fork/exit microbenchmark takes 3x
longer after this patch. kbuild benchmark performance is in the noise,
but the slowdown is likely to be noticed somewhere.
For now, accept this penalty for the benefit of simplifying the P7/8
paths and unifying P9 hash with the new code, because hash is a less
important configuration than radix on processors that support it. Hash
will benefit from future optimisations to this path, including possibly
a faster path to handle such hcalls and interrupts without doing a full
exit.

Dependent-threads mode is the normal KVM mode for pre-POWER9 SMT
processors, where all threads in a core (or subcore) would run the same
partition at the same time, or they would run the host.
This design was mandated by MMU state that is shared between threads in
a processor, so the synchronisation point is in hypervisor real-mode
that has essentially no shared state, so it's safe for multiple threads
to gather and switch to the correct mode.
It is implemented by having the host unplug all secondary threads and
always run in SMT1 mode, and host QEMU threads essentially represent
virtual cores that wake these secondary threads out of unplug when the
ioctl is called to run the guest. This happens via a side-path that is
mostly invisible to the rest of the Linux host and the secondary threads
still appear to be unplugged.
POWER9 / ISA v3.0 has a more flexible MMU design that is independent
per-thread and allows a much simpler KVM implementation. Before the new
"P9 fast path" was added that began to take advantage of this, POWER9
support was implemented in the existing path which has support to run
in the dependent threads mode. So it was not much work to add support to
run POWER9 in this dependent threads mode.
The mode is not required by the POWER9 MMU (although "mixed-mode" hash /
radix MMU limitations of early processors were worked around using this
mode). But it is one way to run SMT guests without running different
guests or guest and host on different threads of the same core, so it
could avoid or reduce some SMT attack surfaces without turning off SMT
entirely.
This security feature has some real, if indeterminate, value. However
the old path is lagging in features (nested HV), and with this series
the new P9 path adds remaining missing features (radix prefetch bug
and hash support, in later patches), so POWER9 dependent threads mode
support would be the only remaining reason to keep that code in and keep
supporting POWER9/POWER10 in the old path. So here we make the call to
drop this feature.
Remove dependent threads mode support for POWER9 and above processors.
Systems can still achieve this security by disabling SMT entirely, but
that would generally come at a larger performance cost for guests.

Almost all logic is moved to C, by introducing a new in_guest mode for
the P9 path that branches very early in the KVM interrupt handler to P9
exit code.
The main P9 entry and exit assembly is now only about 160 lines of low
level stack setup and register save/restore, plus a bad-interrupt
handler.
There are two motivations for this, the first is just make the code more
maintainable being in C. The second is to reduce the amount of code
running in a special KVM mode, "realmode". In quotes because with radix
it is no longer necessarily real-mode in the MMU, but it still has to be
treated specially because it may be in real-mode, and has various
important registers like PID, DEC, TB, etc set to guest. This is hostile
to the rest of Linux and can't use arbitrary kernel functionality or be
instrumented well.
This initial patch is a reasonably faithful conversion of the asm code,
but it does lack any loop to return quickly back into the guest without
switching out of realmode in the case of unimportant or easily handled
interrupts. As explained in previous changes, handling HV interrupts
very quickly in this low level realmode is not so important for P9
performance, and are important to avoid for security, observability,
debugability reasons.

This sets up the same calling convention from interrupt entry to
KVM interrupt handler for system calls as exists for other interrupt
types.
This is a better API, it uses a save area rather than SPR, and it has
more registers free to use. Using a single common API helps maintain
it, and it becomes easier to use in C in a later patch.

The bad_host_intr check will never be true with PR KVM, move

Like the earlier patch for hcalls, KVM interrupt entry requires a
different calling convention than the Linux interrupt handlers
set up. Move the code that converts from one to the other into KVM.

System calls / hcalls have a different calling convention than
other interrupts, so there is code in the KVMTEST to massage these
into the same form as other interrupt handlers.
Move this work into the KVM hcall handler. This means teaching KVM
a little more about the low level interrupt handler setup, PACA save
areas, etc., although that's not obviously worse than the current
approach of coming up with an entirely different interrupt register
/ save convention.

Add a separate hcall entry point. This can be used to deal with the
different calling convention.

Move the GUEST_MODE_SKIP logic into KVM code. This is quite a KVM
internal detail that has no real need to be in common handlers.

Rather than bifurcate the call depending on whether or not HV is
possible, and have the HV entry test for PR, just make a single
common point which does the demultiplexing. This makes it simpler
to add another type of exit handler.
