Recent changes in the Hyper-V driver:

  b4370df2b1f5 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: add special crash handler")

broke the build when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE is not set:

  arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `hv_machine_crash_shutdown':
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c:112: undefined reference to `native_machine_crash_shutdown'

Decorate all kexec related code with #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE.

The Hyper-V top-level functional specification states, that
"algorithms should be resilient to sudden jumps forward or
backward in the TSC value", this means that we should consider
TSC as unstable. In some cases tsc tests are able to detect the
instability, it was detected in 543 out of 646 boots in my
testing:

 Measured 6277 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
 tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed

This is, however, just a heuristic. On Hyper-V platform there
are two good clocksources: MSR-based hyperv_clocksource and
recently introduced TSC page.

Full kernel hang is observed when kdump kernel starts after a crash. This
hang happens in vmbus_negotiate_version() function on
wait_for_completion() as Hyper-V host (Win2012R2 in my testing) never
responds to CHANNELMSG_INITIATE_CONTACT as it thinks the connection is
already established. We need to perform some mandatory minimalistic
cleanup before we start new kernel.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: add special kexec handler</title>

<content type='text'>
When general-purpose kexec (not kdump) is being performed in Hyper-V guest
the newly booted kernel fails with an MCE error coming from the host. It
is the same error which was fixed in the "Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement
the protocol for tearing down vmbus state" commit - monitor pages remain
special and when they're being written to (as the new kernel doesn't know
these pages are special) bad things happen. We need to perform some
minimalistic cleanup before booting a new kernel on kexec. To do so we
need to register a special machine_ops.shutdown handler to be executed
before the native_machine_shutdown(). Registering a shutdown notification
handler via the register_reboot_notifier() call is not sufficient as it
happens to early for our purposes. machine_ops is not being exported to
modules (and I don't think we want to export it) so let's do this in
mshyperv.c

The minimalistic cleanup consists of cleaning up clockevents, synic MSRs,
guest os id MSR, and hypercall MSR.

Kdump doesn't require all this stuff as it lives in a separate memory
space.

<title>x86, irq, pic: Probe for legacy PIC and set legacy_pic appropriately</title>
<updated>2014-04-14T18:49:55+00:00</updated>

<id>e179f6914152eca9b338e7d8445684062f560c55</id>
<content type='text'>
The legacy PIC may or may not be available and we need a mechanism to
detect the existence of the legacy PIC that is applicable for all
hardware (both physical as well as virtual) currently supported by
Linux.

On Hyper-V, when our legacy firmware presented to the guests, emulates
the legacy PIC while when our EFI based firmware is presented we do
not emulate the PIC. To support Hyper-V EFI firmware, we had to set
the legacy_pic to the null_legacy_pic since we had to bypass PIC based
calibration in the early boot code. While, on the EFI firmware, we
know we don't emulate the legacy PIC, we need a generic mechanism to
detect the presence of the legacy PIC that is not based on boot time
state - this became apparent when we tried to get kexec to work on
Hyper-V EFI firmware.

This patch implements the proposal put forth by H. Peter Anvin
&lt;hpa@linux.intel.com&gt;: Write a known value to the PIC data port and
read it back. If the value read is the value written, we do have the
PIC, if not there is no PIC and we can safely set the legacy_pic to
null_legacy_pic. Since the read from an unconnected I/O port returns
0xff, we will use ~(1 &lt;&lt; PIC_CASCADE_IR) (0xfb: mask all lines except
the cascade line) to probe for the existence of the PIC.

In version V1 of the patch, I had cleaned up the code based on comments from Peter.
In version V2 of the patch, I have addressed additional comments from Peter.
In version V3 of the patch, I have addressed Jan's comments (JBeulich@suse.com).
In version V4 of the patch, I have addressed additional comments from Peter.

On Hyper-V, when our legacy firmware presented to the guests, emulates
the legacy PIC while when our EFI based firmware is presented we do
not emulate the PIC. To support Hyper-V EFI firmware, we had to set
the legacy_pic to the null_legacy_pic since we had to bypass PIC based
calibration in the early boot code. While, on the EFI firmware, we
know we don't emulate the legacy PIC, we need a generic mechanism to
detect the presence of the legacy PIC that is not based on boot time
state - this became apparent when we tried to get kexec to work on
Hyper-V EFI firmware.

This patch implements the proposal put forth by H. Peter Anvin
&lt;hpa@linux.intel.com&gt;: Write a known value to the PIC data port and
read it back. If the value read is the value written, we do have the
PIC, if not there is no PIC and we can safely set the legacy_pic to
null_legacy_pic. Since the read from an unconnected I/O port returns
0xff, we will use ~(1 &lt;&lt; PIC_CASCADE_IR) (0xfb: mask all lines except
the cascade line) to probe for the existence of the PIC.

In version V1 of the patch, I had cleaned up the code based on comments from Peter.
In version V2 of the patch, I have addressed additional comments from Peter.
In version V3 of the patch, I have addressed Jan's comments (JBeulich@suse.com).
In version V4 of the patch, I have addressed additional comments from Peter.

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq department proudly presents:

   - Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse.  Clear winner
     of the trainwreck engineering contest was:
         #include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h"

   - Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu
     online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask.

   - Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics.

   - Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit
     wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq()
     which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler.  Both are
     needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci
     code.

   - New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs.
     The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources
     from request/free_irq.

   - A few new ARM interrupt chips.  No revolutionary new hardware, just
     differently wreckaged variations of the scheme.

   - Small improvments, cleanups and updates all over the place"

I was hoping that that trainwreck engineering contest was a April Fools'
joke.  But no.
