KVM: PPC: booke: category E.HV (GS-mode) support
Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06
provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for
guest state. The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping
into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace.
Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from
guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly
to book3s.
Current issues include:
- Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler.
- The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction
in a page that lacks read permission. Existing e500/4xx support has
the same problem.
