[PATCH v4 1/8] KVM: PPC: Ultravisor: Introduce the MSR_S bit

From: Claudio Carvalho <hidden>
Date: 2019-06-28 20:13:57
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <redacted>

The ultravisor processor mode is introduced in POWER platforms that
supports the Protected Execution Facility (PEF). Ultravisor is higher
privileged than hypervisor mode.

In PEF enabled platforms, the MSR_S bit is used to indicate if the
thread is in secure state. With the MSR_S bit, the privilege state of
the thread is now determined by MSR_S, MSR_HV and MSR_PR, as follows:

S   HV  PR
-----------------------
0   x   1   problem
1   0   1   problem
x   x   0   privileged
x   1   0   hypervisor
1   1   0   ultravisor
1   1   1   reserved

The hypervisor doesn't (and can't) run with the MSR_S bit set, but a
secure guest and the ultravisor firmware do.
