From Nick's cover letter:
Linux powerpc new system call instruction and ABI
System Call Vectored (scv) ABI
==============================
The scv instruction is introduced with POWER9 / ISA3, it comes with an
rfscv counter-part. The benefit of these instructions is
performance (trading slower SRR0/1 with faster LR/CTR registers, and
entering the kernel with MSR[EE] and MSR[RI] left enabled, which can
reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to
cover the Linux system call space).
Assignment and advertisement
----------------------------
The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise
them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more.
Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction
will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and
deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a
HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it.
This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with
PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system
calls (equivalent to 'sc').
Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be
delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility
unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled).
Calling convention
------------------
The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call
ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]:
- LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the
scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should
be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI.
- cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow
the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr
registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid
information leaks).
- Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to
move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to
indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is
closer to a function call.
Notes
-----
- r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch
as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for
deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by
preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from
the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow
the ABI.

Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs.
For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical to
'sc' system calls, with the exception that LR is not preserved, nor
are volatile CR registers, and error is not indicated with CR0[SO],
but by returning a negative errno.
rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not
be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to
preserve LR.
getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 26% (428 to 318
cycles), largely due to reducing mtmsr and mtspr.

Currently we assume that we have only one watchpoint supported by hw.
Get rid of that assumption and use dynamic loop instead. This should
make supporting more watchpoints very easy.
With more than one watchpoint, exception handler needs to know which
DAWR caused the exception, and hw currently does not provide it. So
we need sw logic for the same. To figure out which DAWR caused the
exception, check all different combinations of user specified range,
DAWR address range, actual access range and DAWRX constrains. For ex,
if user specified range and actual access range overlaps but DAWRX is
configured for readonly watchpoint and the instruction is store, this
DAWR must not have caused exception.

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.
However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.
Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.

This adds code to the load and store emulation code to byte-swap
the data appropriately when the process being emulated is set to
the opposite endianness to that of the kernel.
This also enables the emulation for the multiple-register loads
and stores (lmw, stmw, lswi, stswi, lswx, stswx) to work for
little-endian. In little-endian mode, the partial word at the
end of a transfer for lsw*/stsw* (when the byte count is not a
multiple of 4) is loaded/stored at the least-significant end of
the register. Additionally, this fixes a bug in the previous
code in that it could call read_mem/write_mem with a byte count
that was not 1, 2, 4 or 8.
Note that this only works correctly on processors with "true"
little-endian mode, such as IBM POWER processors from POWER6 on, not
the so-called "PowerPC" little-endian mode that uses address swizzling
as implemented on the old 32-bit 603, 604, 740/750, 74xx CPUs.

At present, the analyse_instr/emulate_step code checks for the
relevant MSR_FP/VEC/VSX bit being set when a FP/VMX/VSX load
or store is decoded, but doesn't recheck the bit before reading or
writing the relevant FP/VMX/VSX register in emulate_step().
Since we don't have preemption disabled, it is possible that we get
preempted between checking the MSR bit and doing the register access.
If that happened, then the registers would have been saved to the
thread_struct for the current process. Accesses to the CPU registers
would then potentially read stale values, or write values that would
never be seen by the user process.
Another way that the registers can become non-live is if a page
fault occurs when accessing user memory, and the page fault code
calls a copy routine that wants to use the VMX or VSX registers.
To fix this, the code for all the FP/VMX/VSX loads gets restructured
so that it forms an image in a local variable of the desired register
contents, then disables preemption, checks the MSR bit and either
sets the CPU register or writes the value to the thread struct.
Similarly, the code for stores checks the MSR bit, copies either the
CPU register or the thread struct to a local variable, then reenables
preemption and then copies the register image to memory.
If the instruction being emulated is in the kernel, then we must not
use the register values in the thread_struct. In this case, if the
relevant MSR enable bit is not set, then emulate_step refuses to
emulate the instruction.

When a 64-bit processor is executing in 32-bit mode, the update forms
of load and store instructions are required by the architecture to
write the full 64-bit effective address into the RA register, though
only the bottom 32 bits are used to address memory. Currently,
the instruction emulation code writes the truncated address to the
RA register. This fixes it by keeping the full 64-bit EA in the
instruction_op structure, truncating the address in emulate_step()
where it is used to address memory, rather than in the address
computations in analyse_instr().

This extends the instruction emulation infrastructure in sstep.c to
handle all the load and store instructions defined in the Power ISA
v3.0, except for the atomic memory operations, ldmx (which was never
implemented), lfdp/stfdp, and the vector element load/stores.
The instructions added are:
Integer loads and stores: lbarx, lharx, lqarx, stbcx., sthcx., stqcx.,
lq, stq.
VSX loads and stores: lxsiwzx, lxsiwax, stxsiwx, lxvx, lxvl, lxvll,
lxvdsx, lxvwsx, stxvx, stxvl, stxvll, lxsspx, lxsdx, stxsspx, stxsdx,
lxvw4x, lxsibzx, lxvh8x, lxsihzx, lxvb16x, stxvw4x, stxsibx, stxvh8x,
stxsihx, stxvb16x, lxsd, lxssp, lxv, stxsd, stxssp, stxv.
These instructions are handled both in the analyse_instr phase and in
the emulate_step phase.
The code for lxvd2ux and stxvd2ux has been taken out, as those
instructions were never implemented in any processor and have been
taken out of the architecture, and their opcodes have been reused for
other instructions in POWER9 (lxvb16x and stxvb16x).
The emulation for the VSX loads and stores uses helper functions
which don't access registers or memory directly, which can hopefully
be reused by KVM later.

The analyse_instr function currently doesn't just work out what an
instruction does, it also executes those instructions whose effect
is only to update CPU registers that are stored in struct pt_regs.
This is undesirable because optprobes uses analyse_instr to work out
if an instruction could be successfully emulated in future.
This changes analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs; instead it
stores information in the instruction_op structure to indicate what
registers (GPRs, CR, XER, LR) would be set and what value they would
be set to. A companion function called emulate_update_regs() can
then use that information to update a pt_regs struct appropriately.
As a minor cleanup, this replaces inline asm using the cntlzw and
cntlzd instructions with calls to __builtin_clz() and __builtin_clzl().

This splits out the instruction analysis part of emulate_step() into
a separate analyse_instr() function, which decodes the instruction,
but doesn't execute any load or store instructions. It does execute
integer instructions and branches which can be executed purely by
updating register values in the pt_regs struct. For other instructions,
it returns the instruction type and other details in a new
instruction_op struct. emulate_step() then uses that information
to execute loads, stores, cache operations, mfmsr, mtmsr[d], and
(on 64-bit) sc instructions.
The reason for doing this is so that the KVM code can use it instead
of having its own separate instruction emulation code. Possibly the
alignment interrupt handler could also use this.
