<title>x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h</title>

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

<title>x86/hyperv: Avoid reporting bogus NMI status for Gen2 instances</title>

<content type='text'>
Generation2 instances don't support reporting the NMI status on port 0x61,
read from there returns 'ff' and we end up reporting nonsensical PCI
error (as there is no PCI bus in these instances) on all NMIs:

    NMI: PCI system error (SERR) for reason ff on CPU 0.
    Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

Fix the issue by overriding x86_platform.get_nmi_reason. Use 'booted on
EFI' flag to detect Gen2 instances.

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.

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.

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.
