Load external pid (lwepx) instruction faults (when called from

additional code in DO_KVM macro to identify the source of the

The hook requires to check the Exception Syndrome Register
ESR[EPID] and External PID Load Context Register EPLC[EGS] for
some exceptions (DTLB_MISS, DSI and LRAT). Doing this on Data TLB
miss exception is obvious intrusive for the host.

Get rid of lwepx and acquire last instuction in kvmppc_get_last_inst()
by searching for the physical address and kmap it. This fixes an
infinite loop caused by lwepx's data TLB miss handled in the host
and the TODO for TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.

It'd be interesting to see what the performance impact of doing this on
non-HV would be -- it would eliminate divergent code, eliminate the
MSR_DS hack, and make exec-only mappings work.

We hit the instruction emulation path a lot more often on non-HV, so even a slight performance impact that might not be a major bummer for HV would become critical for PR.

But I agree - it'd be interesting to see numbers.

We can probably get away without that isync, despite what the manual
says.  We've been doing it in other contexts on e500 since forever, and
tlbsx has presync serialization which means it already waits for all
previous instructions to complete before beginning execution.

What happens when another thread rewrites the TLB entry in parallel? Does tlbsx succeed? Does it fail? Do we see failure indicated somehow? Are the contents of the MAS registers consistent at this point or inconsistent?

There has to be a good way to detect such a race and deal with it, no?

This message needs to be ratelimited, and use pr_err() (or maybe even
pr_debug()).

I'd go for pr_debug(). If anything we'd want a trace point indicating whether instruction fetching worked.
