Fix off-by-one error in sizing pSeries hcall table
The pSeries machine uses two tables to look up guest hcalls for emulation.One of these is exactly one entry too small to hold all the hcalls it needsto, leading to memory corruption.
This patch fixes the bug, and while we're at it, make both tables 'static'...
Implement PAPR VPA functions for pSeries shared processor partitions
Shared-processor partitions are those where a CPU is time-sliced betweenpartitions, rather than being permanently dedicated to a singlepartition. qemu emulated partitions, since they are just scheduled with...
Implement hcall based RTAS for pSeries machines
On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-TimeAbstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implementsa number of low-level, infrequently used operations. On logical partitions...
Implement assorted pSeries hcalls and RTAS methods
This patch adds several small utility hypercalls and RTAS methods tothe pSeries platform emulation. Specifically:
This just prints a character to the console, it's occasionally used...
Start implementing pSeries logical partition machine
This patch adds a "pseries" machine to qemu. This aims to emulate alogical partition on an IBM pSeries machine, compliant to the"PowerPC Architecture Platform Requirements" (PAPR) document.
This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine...
Virtual hash page table handling on pSeries machine
On pSeries logical partitions, excepting the old POWER4-style full systempartitions, the guest does not have direct access to the hardware pagetable. Instead, the pagetable exists in hypervisor memory, and the guest...
