KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle guest-caused machine checks on POWER7 without panicking
Currently, if a machine check interrupt happens while we are in the guest, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler, which tends to cause the host to panic. Some machine checks can be triggered by the guest; for example, if the guest creates two entries in the SLB that map the same effective address, and then accesses that effective address, the CPU will take a machine check interrupt. To handle this better, when a machine check happens inside the guest, we call a new function, kvmppc_realmode_machine_check(), while still in real mode before exiting the guest. On POWER7, it handles the cases that the guest can trigger, either by flushing and reloading the SLB, or by flushing the TLB, and then it delivers the machine check interrupt directly to the guest without going back to the host. On POWER7, the OPAL firmware patches the machine check interrupt vector so that it gets control first, and it leaves behind its analysis of the situation in a structure pointed to by the opal_mc_evt field of the paca. The kvmppc_realmode_machine_check() function looks at this, and if OPAL reports that there was no error, or that it has handled the error, we also go straight back to the guest with a machine check. We have to deliver a machine check to the guest since the machine check interrupt might have trashed valid values in SRR0/1. If the machine check is one we can't handle in real mode, and one that OPAL hasn't already handled, or on PPC970, we exit the guest and call the host's machine check handler. We do this by jumping to the machine_check_fwnmi label, rather than absolute address 0x200, because we don't want to re-execute OPAL's handler on POWER7. On PPC970, the two are equivalent because address 0x200 just contains a branch. Then, if the host machine check handler decides that the system can continue executing, kvmppc_handle_exit() delivers a machine check interrupt to the guest -- once again to let the guest know that SRR0/1 have been modified.
