<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.

Fixes: 621191d709b1 ("Drivers: hv: Introduce mshv_root module to expose /dev/mshv to VMMs")

To run in the VTL mode, Hyper-V drivers have to know what
VTL the system boots in, and the arm64/hyperv code does not
have the means to compute that.

Refactor the code to hoist the function that detects VTL,
make it arch-neutral to be able to employ it to get the VTL

Add mshv_handler() to process messages related to managing guest
partitions such as intercepts, doorbells, and scheduling messages.

In a (non-nested) root partition, the same interrupt vector is shared
between the vmbus and mshv_root drivers.

Introduce a stub for mshv_handler() and call it in
sysvec_hyperv_callback alongside vmbus_handler().

Even though both handlers will be called for every Hyper-V interrupt,
the messages for each driver are delivered to different offsets
within the SYNIC message page, so they won't step on each other.

Introduce hv_status_printk() macros as a convenience to log hypercall
errors, formatting them with the status code (HV_STATUS_*) as a raw hex
value and also as a string, which saves some time while debugging.

Create a table of HV_STATUS_ codes with strings and mapped errnos, and
use it for hv_result_to_string() and hv_result_to_errno().

Use the new hv_status_printk()s in hv_proc.c, hyperv-iommu.c, and
irqdomain.c hypercalls to aid debugging in the root partition.

<title>hyperv: Add CONFIG_MSHV_ROOT to gate root partition support</title>

<id>461fbbd036b11d755b50e2ef7c165859a0f908d5</id>
<content type='text'>
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).

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).

Introduce hv_curr_partition_type to store the partition type
as an enum.

Right now this is limited to guest or root partition, but there will
be other kinds in future and the enum is easily extensible.

Set up hv_curr_partition_type early in Hyper-V initialization with
hv_identify_partition_type(). hv_root_partition() just queries this
value, and shouldn't be called before that.

Making this check into a function sets the stage for adding a config
option to gate the compilation of root partition code. In particular,
hv_root_partition() can be stubbed out always be false if root
partition support isn't desired.
