The Hyper-V host provides guest VMs with a range of MMIO addresses
that guest VMBus drivers can use. The VMBus driver in Linux manages
that MMIO space, and allocates portions to drivers upon request. As
part of managing that MMIO space in a Generation 2 VM, the VMBus
driver must reserve the portion of the MMIO space that Hyper-V has
designated for the synthetic frame buffer, and not allocate this
space to VMBus drivers other than graphics framebuffer drivers. The
synthetic frame buffer MMIO area is described by the screen_info data
structure that is passed to the Linux kernel at boot time, so the
VMBus driver must access screen_info for Generation 2 VMs. (In
Generation 1 VMs, the framebuffer MMIO space is communicated to
the guest via a PCI pseudo-device, and access to screen_info is
not needed.)
In commit a07b50d80ab6 ("hyperv: avoid dependency on screen_info")
the VMBus driver's access to screen_info is restricted to when
CONFIG_SYSFB is enabled. CONFIG_SYSFB is typically enabled in kernels
built for Hyper-V by virtue of having at least one of CONFIG_FB_EFI,
CONFIG_FB_VESA, or CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB enabled, so the restriction
doesn't usually affect anything. But it's valid to have none of these
enabled, in which case CONFIG_SYSFB is not enabled, and the VMBus driver
is unable to properly reserve the framebuffer MMIO space for graphics
framebuffer drivers. The framebuffer MMIO space may be assigned to
some other VMBus driver, with undefined results. As an example, if
a VM is using a PCI pass-thru NVMe controller to host the OS disk,
the PCI NVMe controller is probed before any graphics devices, and the
NVMe controller is assigned a portion of the framebuffer MMIO space.
Hyper-V reports an error to Linux during the probe, and the OS disk
fails to get setup. Then Linux fails to boot in the VM.
Fix this by having CONFIG_HYPERV always select SYSFB. Then the
VMBus driver in a Gen 2 VM can always reserve the MMIO space for the
graphics framebuffer driver, and prevent the undefined behavior. But
don't select SYSFB when building for HYPERV_VTL_MODE as VTLs other
than VTL 0 don't have a framebuffer and aren't subject to the issue.
Adding SYSFB in such cases is harmless, but would increase the image
size for no purpose.

Kconfig dependencies for arm64 guests on Hyper-V require that be
ACPI enabled, and limit VTL mode to x86/x64. To enable VTL mode
on arm64 as well, update the dependencies. Since VTL mode requires
DeviceTree instead of ACPI, don’t require arm64 guests on Hyper-V
to have ACPI unconditionally.

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.

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).

Currently, the secondary CPUs in Hyper-V VTL context lack support for
parallel startup. Therefore, relying on the single initial_stack fetched
from the current task structure suffices for all vCPUs.
However, common initial_stack risks stack corruption when parallel startup
is enabled. In order to facilitate parallel startup, use the initial_stack
from the per CPU idle thread instead of the current task.

With changes to how Hyper-V guest VMs flip memory between private
(encrypted) and shared (decrypted), creating a second kernel virtual
mapping for shared memory is no longer necessary. Everything needed
for the transition to shared is handled by set_memory_decrypted().
As such, remove the code to create and manage the second
mapping for the pre-allocated send and recv buffers. This mapping
is the last user of hv_map_memory()/hv_unmap_memory(), so delete
these functions as well. Finally, hv_map_memory() is the last
user of vmap_pfn() in Hyper-V guest code, so remove the Kconfig
selection of VMAP_PFN.

At present the Devicetree parsing only provides the mmio region info

There is no particular reason to not enable TSC page clocksource on
32-bit. mul_u64_u64_shr() is available and despite the increased
computational complexity (compared to 64bit) TSC page is still a huge win
compared to MSR-based clocksource.
In-kernel reads:
MSR based clocksource: 3361 cycles
TSC page clocksource: 49 cycles
Reads from userspace (utilizing vDSO in case of TSC page):
MSR based clocksource: 5664 cycles
TSC page clocksource: 131 cycles
Enabling TSC page on 32bits allows to get rid of CONFIG_HYPERV_TSCPAGE as
it is now not any different from CONFIG_HYPERV_TIMER.

Hyper-V clock/timer code and data structures are currently mixed
in with other code in the ISA independent drivers/hv directory as
well as the ISA dependent Hyper-V code under arch/x86.
Consolidate this code and data structures into a Hyper-V clocksource driver
to better follow the Linux model. In doing so, separate out the ISA
dependent portions so the new clocksource driver works for x86 and for the
in-process Hyper-V on ARM64 code.
To start, move the existing clockevents code to create the new clocksource
driver. Update the VMbus driver to call initialization and cleanup routines
since the Hyper-V synthetic timers are not independently enumerated in
ACPI.
No behavior is changed and no new functionality is added.

Hyper-V host can suggest us to use hypercall for doing remote TLB flush,
this is supposed to work faster than IPIs.
Implementation details: to do HvFlushVirtualAddress{Space,List} hypercalls
we need to put the input somewhere in memory and we don't really want to
have memory allocation on each call so we pre-allocate per cpu memory areas
on boot.
pv_ops patching is happening very early so we need to separate
hyperv_setup_mmu_ops() and hyper_alloc_mmu().
It is possible and easy to implement local TLB flushing too and there is
even a hint for that. However, I don't see a room for optimization on the
host side as both hypercall and native tlb flush will result in vmexit. The
hint is also not set on modern Hyper-V versions.

Add the basic balloon driver. Windows hosts dynamically manage the guest
memory allocation via a combination memory hot add and ballooning. Memory
hot add is used to grow the guest memory upto the maximum memory that can be
allocatted to the guest. Ballooning is used to both shrink as well as expand
up to the max memory. Supporting hot add needs additional support from the
host. We will support hot add when this support is available. For now,
by setting the VM startup memory to the VM max memory, we can use
ballooning alone to dynamically manage memory allocation amongst
competing guests on a given host.
