Drivers: hv: Make CONFIG_HYPERV bool

2025-10-01T00:00:45+00:00

With CONFIG_HYPERV and CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS separated, change CONFIG_HYPERV to bool from tristate. CONFIG_HYPERV now becomes the core Hyper-V hypervisor support, such as hypercalls, clocks/timers, Confidential Computing setup, PCI passthru, etc. that doesn't involve VMBus or VMBus devices.

Drivers: hv: Add CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS option

2025-10-01T00:00:42+00:00

At present VMBus driver is hinged off of CONFIG_HYPERV which entails lot of builtin code and encompasses too much. It's not always clear what depends on builtin hv code and what depends on VMBus. Setting CONFIG_HYPERV as a module and fudging the Makefile to switch to builtin adds even more confusion. VMBus is an independent module and should have its own config option. Also, there are scenarios like baremetal dom0/root where support is built in with CONFIG_HYPERV but without VMBus. Lastly, there are more features coming down that use CONFIG_HYPERV and add more dependencies on it. So, create a fine grained HYPERV_VMBUS option and update Kconfigs for dependency on VMBus.

Drivers: hv: Introduce mshv_root module to expose /dev/mshv to VMMs

2025-03-21T18:24:22+00:00

Provide a set of IOCTLs for creating and managing child partitions when running as root partition on Hyper-V. The new driver is enabled via CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT. A brief overview of the interface: MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION is the entry point, returning a file descriptor representing a child partition. IOCTLs on this fd can be used to map memory, create VPs, etc. Creating a VP returns another file descriptor representing that VP which in turn has another set of corresponding IOCTLs for running the VP, getting/setting state, etc. MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL is a generic "passthrough" hypercall IOCTL which can be used for a number of partition or VP hypercalls. This is for hypercalls that do not affect any state in the kernel driver, such as getting and setting VP registers and partition properties, translating addresses, etc. It is "passthrough" because the binary input and output for the hypercall is only interpreted by the VMM - the kernel driver does nothing but insert the VP and partition id where necessary (which are always in the same place), and execute the hypercall.

hyperv: Add CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT to gate root partition support

2025-03-20T21:22:58+00:00

CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT allows kernels built to run as a normal Hyper-V guest to exclude the root partition code, which is expected to grow significantly over time. This option is a tristate so future driver code can be built as a (m)odule, allowing faster development iteration cycles. If CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT is disabled, don't compile hv_proc.c, and stub hv_root_partition() to return false unconditionally. This allows the compiler to optimize away root partition code blocks since they will be disabled at compile time. In the case of booting as root partition *without* CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT enabled, print a critical error (the kernel will likely crash).

Drivers: hv: Move Hyper-V extended capability check to arch neutral code

2021-06-05T10:22:34+00:00

The extended capability query code is currently under arch/x86, but it is architecture neutral, and is used by arch neutral code in the Hyper-V balloon driver. Hence the balloon driver fails to build on other architectures. Fix by moving the ext cap code out from arch/x86. Because it is also called from built-in architecture specific code, it can't be in a module, so the Makefile treats as built-in even when CONFIG_HYPERV is "m". Also drivers/Makefile is tweaked because this is the first occurrence of a Hyper-V file that is built-in even when CONFIG_HYPERV is "m". While here, update the hypercall status check to use the new helper function instead of open coding. No functional change.
