[ Upstream commit ba9eb9b86d232854e983203dc2fb1ba18e316681 ]

The current check is incorrect; it only checks if the beginning or end
of a region is within an existing region. This doesn't account for
userspace specifying a region that begins before and ends after an
existing region.

Change the logic to a range intersection check against gfns and uaddrs
for each region.

Remove mshv_partition_region_by_uaddr() as it is no longer used.

<title>mshv: Fix deposit memory in MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4cc1aa469cd6b714adc958547a4866247bfd60a9 ]

When the MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL ioctl is executing a hypercall, and gets
HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY, it deposits memory and then returns
-EAGAIN to userspace. The expectation is that the VMM will retry.

However, some VMM code in the wild doesn't do this and simply fails.
Rather than force the VMM to retry, change the ioctl to deposit
memory on demand and immediately retry the hypercall as is done with
all the other hypercall helper functions.

In addition to making the ioctl easier to use, removing the need for
multiple syscalls improves performance.

There is a complication: unlike the other hypercall helper functions,
in MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL the input is opaque to the kernel. This is
problematic for rep hypercalls, because the next part of the input
list can't be copied on each loop after depositing pages (this was
the original reason for returning -EAGAIN in this case).

Introduce hv_do_rep_hypercall_ex(), which adds a 'rep_start'
parameter. This solves the issue, allowing the deposit loop in
MSHV_ROOT_HVCALL to restart a rep hypercall after depositing pages
partway through.

<content type='text'>
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.

The sysfs attributes out_read_index and out_write_index in
vmbus_drv.c currently use %d to print outbound.current_read_index
and outbound.current_write_index.

These fields are u32 values, so printing them with %d (signed) is
not logically correct. Update the format specifier to %u to
correctly match their type.

No functional change, only fixes the sysfs output format.

The target_cpu_store() function parses the target CPU from the sysfs
buffer using sscanf(). The format string currently uses "%uu", which
is redundant. The compiler ignores the extra "u", so there is no
incorrect parsing at runtime.

Update the format string to use "%u" for clarity and consistency.

Move away from the legacy MSI domain setup, switch to use
msi_create_parent_irq_domain().

While doing the conversion, I noticed that hv_irq_compose_msi_msg() is
doing more than it is supposed to (composing message content). The
interrupt allocation bits should be moved into hv_msi_domain_alloc().
However, I have no hardware to test this change, therefore I leave a TODO
note.

Check for NEED_RESCHED_LAZY, not just NEED_RESCHED, prior to transferring
control to a guest.  Failure to check for lazy resched can unnecessarily
delay rescheduling until the next tick when using a lazy preemption model.

Note, ideally both the checking and processing of TIF bits would be handled
in common code, to avoid having to keep three separate paths synchronized,
but defer such cleanups to the future to keep the fix as standalone as
possible.
