Amit Machhiwal 96e266e3bc KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add Power11 capability support for Nested PAPR guests
The Power11 architected and raw mode support in Linux was merged in commit
c2ed087ed3 ("powerpc: Add Power11 architected and raw mode"), and the
corresponding support in QEMU is pending in [1], which is currently in
its V6.

Currently, booting a KVM guest inside a pseries LPAR (Logical Partition)
on a kernel without P11 support results the guest boot in a Power10
compatibility mode (i.e., with logical PVR of Power10). However, booting
a KVM guest on a kernel with P11 support causes the following boot crash.

On a Power11 LPAR, the Power Hypervisor (L0) returns a support for both
Power10 and Power11 capabilities through H_GUEST_GET_CAPABILITIES hcall.
However, KVM currently supports only Power10 capabilities, resulting in
only Power10 capabilities being set as "nested capabilities" via an
H_GUEST_SET_CAPABILITIES hcall.

In the guest entry path, gs_msg_ops_kvmhv_nestedv2_config_fill_info() is
called by kvmhv_nestedv2_flush_vcpu() to fill the GSB (Guest State
Buffer) elements. The arch_compat is set to the logical PVR of Power11,
followed by an H_GUEST_SET_STATE hcall. This hcall returns
H_INVALID_ELEMENT_VALUE as a return code when setting a Power11 logical
PVR, as only Power10 capabilities were communicated as supported between
PHYP and KVM, utimately resulting in the KVM guest boot crash.

Fix this by adding the Power11 capability support and the required
plumbing in place.

Note:
  * Booting a Power11 KVM nested PAPR guest requires [1] in QEMU.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
