[PATCH 3/3] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save and restore guest visible PSSCR bits on pseries

[Suraj Jitindar Singh]

The performance stop status and control register (PSSCR) is used to
control the power saving facilities of the processor. This register has
various fields, some of which can be modified only in hypervisor state,
and others which can be modified in both hypervisor and priviledged
non-hypervisor state. The bits which can be modified in priviledged
non-hypervisor state are referred to as guest visible.

Currently the L0 hypervisor saves and restores both it's own host value
as well as the guest value of the psscr when context switching between
the hypervisor and guest. However a nested hypervisor running it's own
nested guests (as indicated by kvmhv_on_pseries()) doesn't context
switch the psscr register. This means that if a nested (L2) guest
modified the psscr that the L1 guest hypervisor will run with this
value, and if the L1 guest hypervisor modified this value and then goes
to run the nested (L2) guest again that the L2 psscr value will be lost.

Fix this by having the (L1) nested hypervisor save and restore both its
host and the guest psscr value when entering and exiting a nested (L2)
guest. Note that only the guest visible parts of the psscr are context
switched since this is all the L1 nested hypervisor can access, this is
fine however as these are the only fields the L0 hypervisor provides
guest control of anyway and so all other fields are ignored.

This could also have been implemented by adding the psscr register to
the hv_regs passed to the L0 hypervisor as input to the H_ENTER_NESTED
hcall, however this would have meant updating the structure layout and
thus required modifications to both the L0 and L1 kernels. Whereas the
approach used doesn't require L0 kernel modifications while achieving
the same result.
