[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 0/3] ppc: handle broadcast tlb flush

[Nikunj A Dadhania]

PowerPC failed to handle broadcast TLB flush operations. Executing 
instructions that are defined architecturally as synchronizing global TLB 
should have a global effect.

* tlbie on BookS
* tlbivax on BookE
* H_CALLs (H_REMOVE, H_BULK_REMOVE and H_PROTECT) in case of pseries, 
  since they contain a tlbie on a real hypervisor.

The implementation provides a single point that can be used in MTTCG for 
doing async-flushes.

The patchset introduces bit-flags in CPUPPCState::tlb_need_flush:

  TLB_NEED_LOCAL_FLUSH (0x1) - Flush local tlb
  TLB_NEED_GLOBAL_FLUSH (0x2) - Flush tlb on other cpus.

Note: Tested patches on commit ebc231d(Merge remote-tracking branch 
'remotes/awilliam/tags/vfio-fixes-20160915.0' into staging), as ppc64 
system emulation is broken after that.

Changelog
v5:
* Added check_tlb_flush_[local, global] helpers
* Changed the variable type to bool

v4: 
* Updated commit message for patch 1/3

v3:
* Updated commit messages and cover letter(benh)
