Subject: [PATCH 2/3] PPC: PMC: Set pmcregs_in_use in paca when running as LPAR
Date: Wed,  3 Jul 2019 11:20:21 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190703012022.15644-2-sjitindarsingh@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190703012022.15644-1-sjitindarsingh@gmail.com>

The ability to run nested guests under KVM means that a guest can also
act as a hypervisor for it's own nested guest. Currently
ppc_set_pmu_inuse() assumes that either FW_FEATURE_LPAR is set,
indicating a guest environment, and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in
the lppaca, or that it isn't set, indicating a hypervisor environment,
and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca.

The pmcregs_in_use flag in the lppaca is used to communicate this
information to a hypervisor and so must be set in a guest environment.
The pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca is used by KVM code to determine
whether the host state of the performance monitoring unit (PMU) must be
saved and restored when running a guest.

Thus when a guest also acts as a hypervisor it must set this bit in both
places since it needs to ensure both that the real hypervisor saves it's
pmu registers when it runs (requires pmcregs_in_use flag in lppaca), and
that it saves it's own pmu registers when running a nested guest
(requires pmcregs_in_use flag in paca).

Modify ppc_set_pmu_inuse() so that the pmcregs_in_use bit is set in both
the lppaca and the paca when a guest (LPAR) is running with the
capability of running it's own guests (CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE).
