KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Keep volatile reg values in vcpu rather than shadow_vcpu
Currently PR-style KVM keeps the volatile guest register values
(R0 - R13, CR, LR, CTR, XER, PC) in a shadow_vcpu struct rather than
the main kvm_vcpu struct. For 64-bit, the shadow_vcpu exists in two
places, a kmalloc'd struct and in the PACA, and it gets copied back
and forth in kvmppc_core_vcpu_load/put(), because the real-mode code
can't rely on being able to access the kmalloc'd struct.
This changes the code to copy the volatile values into the shadow_vcpu
as one of the last things done before entering the guest. Similarly
the values are copied back out of the shadow_vcpu to the kvm_vcpu
immediately after exiting the guest. We arrange for interrupts to be
still disabled at this point so that we can't get preempted on 64-bit
and end up copying values from the wrong PACA.
This means that the accessor functions in kvm_book3s.h for these
registers are greatly simplified, and are same between PR and HV KVM.
In places where accesses to shadow_vcpu fields are now replaced by
accesses to the kvm_vcpu, we can also remove the svcpu_get/put pairs.
Finally, on 64-bit, we don't need the kmalloc'd struct at all any more.
With this, the time to read the PVR one million times in a loop went
from 567.7ms to 575.5ms (averages of 6 values), an increase of about
1.4% for this worse-case test for guest entries and exits. The
standard deviation of the measurements is about 11ms, so the
difference is only marginally significant statistically.
