One example: Some hosts need an interrupt per byte to know if they
should send ACK or NACK. If that interrupt is delayed, they stretch the

This patchset adds support for the new hcall H_RPT_INVALIDATE

if support for the same exists.
Changes in v6:

- Split the patch that adds hcall support in to three parts so that

H_RPT_INVALIDATE does two types of TLB invalidations:
1. Process-scoped invalidations for guests when LPCR[GTSE]=0.
This is currently not used in KVM as GTSE is not usually

2. Partition-scoped invalidations that an L1 hypervisor does on
behalf of an L2 guest. This is curr

As per ISA 3.1, prefixed instruction should not cross 64-byte

There are two ways probed instruction is changed in mapped pages.
First, when Uprobe is activated, it searches for all the relevant

This patchset intends to reduce time needed for processing memory

The first one, makes sure guests with pagesize over 4k don't need to
go through HPT resize-downs after memory hotplug.
The second and third patches make hotplug / hotunplug perform a single
HPT res
Because hypervisors may need to create HPTs without knowing the guest
page size, the smallest used page-size (4k) may be chosen, resulting in
a HPT that is possibly bigger than needed.
On a guest with bigger page-sizes, the amount of entries for HTP may be
too high, causing the guest to ask for a
Every time a memory hotplug happens, and the memory limit crosses a 2^n
value, it may be necessary to perform HPT resizing-up, which can take
some time (over 100ms in my tests).
It usually is not an issue, but it can take some time if a lot of memory
is added to a guest with little starting memory
During memory hotunplug, after each LMB is removed, the HPT may be
resized-down if it would map a max of 4 times the current amount of memory.
(2 shifts, due to introduced histeresis)
It usually is not an issue, but it can take a lot of time if HPT
resizing-down fails. This happens because resize
