<title>clocksource/hyperv: Implement read_snapshot() for TSC page clocksource</title>

<content type='text'>
Implement the read_snapshot() callback for the Hyper-V TSC page clock-
source. This returns the derived 10MHz reference time (for timekeeping)
while also providing the raw TSC value that was used to compute it.

When the TSC page is valid, hv_read_tsc_page_tsc() atomically captures both
values from a single RDTSC inside the sequence-counter protected read. When
the TSC page is invalid (sequence == 0), the hw_csid and hw_cycles are set
to zero indicating no value is available.

This enables ktime_get_snapshot_id() to provide the raw TSC to consumers
like KVM's master clock when running nested guests under Hyper-V.

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.

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.

Switch to using hvhdk.h everywhere in the kernel. This header
includes all the new Hyper-V headers in include/hyperv, which form a
superset of the definitions found in hyperv-tlfs.h.

This makes it easier to add new Hyper-V interfaces without being
restricted to those in the TLFS doc (reflected in hyperv-tlfs.h).

To be more consistent with the original Hyper-V code, the names of
some definitions are changed slightly. Update those where needed.

Update comments in mshyperv.h files to point to include/hyperv for
adding new definitions.

<title>x86/hyperv: Fix hv tsc page based sched_clock for hibernation</title>

<id>bcc80dec91ee745b3d66f3e48f0ec2efdea97149</id>
<content type='text'>
read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() assumes that the Hyper-V clock counter is
bigger than the variable hv_sched_clock_offset, which is cached during
early boot, but depending on the timing this assumption may be false
when a hibernated VM starts again (the clock counter starts from 0
again) and is resuming back (Note: hv_init_tsc_clocksource() is not
called during hibernation/resume); consequently,
read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() may return a negative integer (which is
interpreted as a huge positive integer since the return type is u64)
and new kernel messages are prefixed with huge timestamps before
read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() grows big enough (which typically takes
several seconds).

Fix the issue by saving the Hyper-V clock counter just before the
suspend, and using it to correct the hv_sched_clock_offset in
resume. This makes hv tsc page based sched_clock continuous and ensures
that post resume, it starts from where it left off during suspend.
Override x86_platform.save_sched_clock_state and
x86_platform.restore_sched_clock_state routines to correct this as soon
as possible.

Note: if Invariant TSC is available, the issue doesn't happen because
1) we don't register read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() for sched clock:
See commit e5313f1c5404 ("clocksource/drivers/hyper-v: Rework
clocksource and sched clock setup");
2) the common x86 code adjusts TSC similarly: see
__restore_processor_state() -&gt;  tsc_verify_tsc_adjust(true) and
x86_platform.restore_sched_clock_state().

<content type='text'>
In a TDX VM without paravisor, currently the default timer is the Hyper-V
timer, which depends on the slow VM Reference Counter MSR: the Hyper-V TSC
page is not enabled in such a VM because the VM uses Invariant TSC as a
better clocksource and it's challenging to mark the Hyper-V TSC page shared
in very early boot.

Lower the rating of the Hyper-V timer so the local APIC timer becomes the
the default timer in such a VM, and print a warning in case Invariant TSC
is unavailable in such a VM. This change should cause no perceivable
performance difference.

<title>hyperv-tlfs: Change prefix of generic HV_REGISTER_* MSRs to HV_MSR_*</title>

<id>0e3f7d120086c8b9d6e1ae0dd4917fc529daa1ca</id>
<content type='text'>
The HV_REGISTER_ are used as arguments to hv_set/get_register(), which
delegate to arch-specific mechanisms for getting/setting synthetic
Hyper-V MSRs.

On arm64, HV_REGISTER_ defines are synthetic VP registers accessed via
the get/set vp registers hypercalls. The naming matches the TLFS
document, although these register names are not specific to arm64.

However, on x86 the prefix HV_REGISTER_ indicates Hyper-V MSRs accessed
via rdmsrl()/wrmsrl(). This is not consistent with the TLFS doc, where
HV_REGISTER_ is *only* used for used for VP register names used by
the get/set register hypercalls.

To fix this inconsistency and prevent future confusion, change the
arch-generic aliases used by callers of hv_set/get_register() to have
the prefix HV_MSR_ instead of HV_REGISTER_.

Use the prefix HV_X64_MSR_ for the x86-only Hyper-V MSRs. On x86, the
generic HV_MSR_'s point to the corresponding HV_X64_MSR_.

Move the arm64 HV_REGISTER_* defines to the asm-generic hyperv-tlfs.h,
since these are not specific to arm64. On arm64, the generic HV_MSR_'s
point to the corresponding HV_REGISTER_.

While at it, rename hv_get/set_registers() and related functions to
hv_get/set_msr(), hv_get/set_nested_msr(), etc. These are only used for
Hyper-V MSRs and this naming makes that clear.

The HV_REGISTER_ are used as arguments to hv_set/get_register(), which
delegate to arch-specific mechanisms for getting/setting synthetic
Hyper-V MSRs.

On arm64, HV_REGISTER_ defines are synthetic VP registers accessed via
the get/set vp registers hypercalls. The naming matches the TLFS
document, although these register names are not specific to arm64.
