With POWER9, each CPU thread has its own MMU context and can be
in the host or a guest independently of the other threads; there is
still however a restriction that all threads must use the same type
of address translation, either radix tree or hashed page table (HPT).
Since we only support HPT guests on a HPT host at this point, we
can treat the threads as being independent, and avoid all of the
work of coordinating the CPU threads. To make this simpler, we
introduce a new threads_per_vcore() function that returns 1 on
POWER9 and threads_per_subcore on POWER7/8, and use that instead
of threads_per_subcore or threads_per_core in various places.
This also changes the value of the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability on
POWER9 systems from 4 to 1, so that userspace will not try to
create VMs with multiple vcpus per vcore. (If userspace did create
a VM that thought it was in an SMT mode, the VM might try to use
the msgsndp instruction, which will not work as expected. In
future it may be possible to trap and emulate msgsndp in order to
allow VMs to think they are in an SMT mode, if only for the purpose
of allowing migration from POWER8 systems.)
With all this, we can now run guests on POWER9 as long as the host
is running with HPT translation. Since userspace currently has no
way to request radix tree translation for the guest, the guest has
no choice but to use HPT translation.
