[PATCH 0/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Support POWER9's large decrementer mode

[Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>]

One of the new features of POWER9 is that the decrementer (the
facility that provides an interrupt after a programmable length of
time) has been increased in size from 32 bits to 56 bits, allowing
time intervals of up to about 814 days, compared to 4 seconds
previously.  This patch series adds support for the large decrementer
mode to HV KVM.  There is already code in the host kernel to enable
large decrementer mode for the host, which means that some of the KVM
entry/exit code is currently incorrect; the first patch fixes that.
The second patch allows userspace to enable large decrementer mode for
the guest, by setting the appropriate bit in the guest LPCR value.

Paul.
