H A D | exception-64s.h | 31a40e2b Wed Nov 11 23:44:42 CST 2015 Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org> powerpc/64: Include KVM guest test in all interrupt vectors
Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program interrupts.
However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context, which generally ends badly.
Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing the host.
This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR, so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead.
