MIPS: KVM: Rewrite count/compare timer emulation
Previously the emulation of the CPU timer was just enough to get a Linux guest running but some shortcuts were taken: - The guest timer interrupt was hard coded to always happen every 10 ms rather than being timed to when CP0_Count would match CP0_Compare. - The guest's CP0_Count register was based on the host's CP0_Count register. This isn't very portable and fails on cores without a CP_Count register implemented such as Ingenic XBurst. It also meant that the guest's CP0_Cause.DC bit to disable the CP0_Count register took no effect. - The guest's CP0_Count register was emulated by just dividing the host's CP0_Count register by 4. This resulted in continuity problems when used as a clock source, since when the host CP0_Count overflows from 0x7fffffff to 0x80000000, the guest CP0_Count transitions discontinuously from 0x1fffffff to 0xe0000000. Therefore rewrite & fix emulation of the guest timer based on the monotonic kernel time (i.e. ktime_get()). Internally a 32-bit count_bias value is added to the frequency scaled nanosecond monotonic time to get the guest's CP0_Count. The frequency of the timer is initialised to 100MHz and cannot yet be changed, but a later patch will allow the frequency to be configured via the KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG ioctl interface. The timer can now be stopped via the CP0_Cause.DC bit (by the guest or via the KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface), at which point the current CP0_Count is stored and can be read directly. When it is restarted the bias is recalculated such that the CP0_Count value is continuous. Due to the nature of hrtimer interrupts any read of the guest's CP0_Count register while it is running triggers a check for whether the hrtimer has expired, so that the guest/userland cannot observe the CP0_Count passing CP0_Compare without queuing a timer interrupt. This is also taken advantage of when stopping the timer to ensure that a pending timer interrupt is queued. This replaces the implementation of: - Guest read of CP0_Count - Guest write of CP0_Count - Guest write of CP0_Compare - Guest write of CP0_Cause - Guest read of HWR 2 (CC) with RDHWR - Host read of CP0_Count via KVM_GET_ONE_REG ioctl interface - Host write of CP0_Count via KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface - Host write of CP0_Compare via KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface - Host write of CP0_Cause via KVM_SET_ONE_REG ioctl interface Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Gleb Natapov <gleb@kernel.org> Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: Sanjay Lal <sanjayl@kymasys.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
