KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add hack for split real mode
Today we handle split real mode by mapping both instruction and data faults into a special virtual address space that only exists during the split mode phase. This is good enough to catch 32bit Linux guests that use split real mode for copy_from/to_user. In this case we're always prefixed with 0xc0000000 for our instruction pointer and can map the user space process freely below there. However, that approach fails when we're running KVM inside of KVM. Here the 1st level last_inst reader may well be in the same virtual page as a 2nd level interrupt handler. It also fails when running Mac OS X guests. Here we have a 4G/4G split, so a kernel copy_from/to_user implementation can easily overlap with user space addresses. The architecturally correct way to fix this would be to implement an instruction interpreter in KVM that kicks in whenever we go into split real mode. This interpreter however would not receive a great amount of testing and be a lot of bloat for a reasonably isolated corner case. So I went back to the drawing board and tried to come up with a way to make split real mode work with a single flat address space. And then I realized that we could get away with the same trick that makes it work for Linux: Whenever we see an instruction address during split real mode that may collide, we just move it higher up the virtual address space to a place that hopefully does not collide (keep your fingers crossed!). That approach does work surprisingly well. I am able to successfully run Mac OS X guests with KVM and QEMU (no split real mode hacks like MOL) when I apply a tiny timing probe hack to QEMU. I'd say this is a win over even more broken split real mode :). Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
