Subject: [PATCH 1/3] spapr: Disable ibm, pa-features HTM bit
Date: Tue,  5 Jul 2016 15:19:22 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <17cc8e9fb2ab41356e207c6a14d5987754fa4da8.1467695915.git.sam.bobroff@au1.ibm.com> (raw)

In-Reply-To: <cover.1467695915.git.sam.bobroff@au1.ibm.com>

There are a few issues with our handling of the ibm,pa-features
HTM bit:

- We don't support transactional memory in PR KVM, so don't tell
  the OS that we do.

- In full emulation we have a minimal implementation of HTM that always
  fails, so for performance reasons lets not tell the OS that we
  support it either.

- In HV KVM mode, we should mirror the host HTM enabled state by
  checking a KVM capability or looking at the AT_HWCAP2 bit.

For now unconditionally disable it by removing HTM from the
pa-features bits.  It will be re-enabled in a subsequent patch
specifically for HV KVM.
