Pull more x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Remove a bunch of asm implementing condition flags testing in KVM's
   emulator in favor of int3_emulate_jcc() which is written in C

 - Replace KVM fastops with C-based stubs which avoids problems with the
   fastop infra related to latter not adhering to the C ABI due to their
   special calling convention and, more importantly, bypassing compiler
   control-flow integrity checking because they're written in asm

 - Remove wrongly used static branches and other ugliness accumulated
   over time in hyperv's hypercall implementation with a proper static
   function call to the correct hypervisor call variant

 - Add some fixes and modifications to allow running FRED-enabled
   kernels in KVM even on non-FRED hardware

 - Add kCFI improvements like validating indirect calls and prepare for
   enabling kCFI with GCC. Add cmdline params documentation and other
   code cleanups

 - Use the single-byte 0xd6 insn as the official #UD single-byte
   undefined opcode instruction as agreed upon by both x86 vendors

 - Other smaller cleanups and touchups all over the place

clocksource: hyper-v: Skip unnecessary checks for the root partition

2025-09-08T22:10:46+00:00

The HV_ACCESS_TSC_INVARIANT bit is always zero when Linux runs as the
root partition. The root partition will see directly what the hardware
provides.

The old logic in ms_hyperv_init_platform caused the native TSC clock
source to be incorrectly marked as unstable on x86. Fix it.

Skip the unnecessary checks in code for the root partition. Add one
extra comment in code to clarify the behavior.

x86/hyperv: Clean up hv_do_hypercall()

2025-08-18T12:23:07+00:00

What used to be a simple few instructions has turned into a giant mess
(for x86_64). Not only does it use static_branch wrong, it mixes it
with dynamic branches for no apparent reason.

Notably it uses static_branch through an out-of-line function call,
which completely defeats the purpose, since instead of a simple
JMP/NOP site, you get a CALL+RET+TEST+Jcc sequence in return, which is
absolutely idiotic.

Add to that a dynamic test of hyperv_paravisor_present, something
which is set once and never changed.

Replace all this idiocy with a single direct function call to the
right hypercall variant.

x86/msr: Add explicit includes of

To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from

x86: hyperv: Add mshv_handler() irq handler and setup function

2025-03-20T21:23:04+00:00

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.

2025-03-20T21:23:03+00:00

Extend the "ms_hyperv_info" structure to include a new field,
"ext_features", for capturing extended Hyper-V features.
Update the "ms_hyperv_init_platform" function to retrieve these features
using the cpuid instruction and include them in the informational output.

hyperv: Change hv_root_partition into a function

2025-02-22T02:21:45+00:00

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.
