      x86/kvm: Support Hyper-V reenlightenment · 0092e434
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      When running nested KVM on Hyper-V guests its required to update
      masterclocks for all guests when L1 migrates to a host with different TSC
      frequency.
      
      Implement the procedure in the following way:
        - Pause all guests.
        - Tell the host (Hyper-V) to stop emulating TSC accesses.
        - Update the gtod copy, recompute clocks.
        - Unpause all guests.
      
      This is somewhat similar to cpufreq but there are two important differences:
       - TSC emulation can only be disabled globally (on all CPUs)
       - The new TSC frequency is not known until emulation is turned off so
         there is no way to 'prepare' for the event upfront.

      x86/kvm: Pass stable clocksource to guests when running nested on Hyper-V · b0c39dc6
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      Currently, KVM is able to work in 'masterclock' mode passing
      PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT to guests when the clocksource which is used on the
      host is TSC.
      
      When running nested on Hyper-V the guest normally uses a different one: TSC
      page which is resistant to TSC frequency changes on events like L1
      migration. Add support for it in KVM.
      
      The only non-trivial change is in vgettsc(): when updating the gtod copy
      both the clock readout and tsc value have to be updated now.

      x86/hyperv: Redirect reenlightment notifications on CPU offlining · e7c4e36c
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      It is very unlikely for CPUs to get offlined when running on Hyper-V as
      there is a protection in the vmbus module which prevents it when the guest
      has any VMBus devices assigned. This, however, may change in future if an
      option to reassign an already active channel will be added. It is also
      possible to run without any Hyper-V devices or to have a CPU with no
      assigned channels.
      
      Reassign reenlightenment notifications to some other active CPU when the
      CPU which is assigned to them goes offline.

      x86/hyperv: Reenlightenment notifications support · 93286261
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
      Hyper-V supports Live Migration notification. This is supposed to be used
      in conjunction with TSC emulation: when a VM is migrated to a host with
      different TSC frequency for some short period the host emulates the
      accesses to TSC and sends an interrupt to notify about the event. When the
      guest is done updating everything it can disable TSC emulation and
      everything will start working fast again.
      
      These notifications weren't required until now as Hyper-V guests are not
      supposed to use TSC as a clocksource: in Linux the TSC is even marked as
      unstable on boot. Guests normally use 'tsc page' clocksource and host
      updates its values on migrations automatically.
      
      Things change when with nested virtualization: even when the PV
      clocksources (kvm-clock or tsc page) are passed through to the nested
      guests the TSC frequency and frequency changes need to be know..
      
      Hyper-V Top Level Functional Specification (as of v5.0b) wrongly specifies
      EAX:BIT(12) of CPUID:0x40000009 as the feature identification bit. The
      right one to check is EAX:BIT(13) of CPUID:0x40000003. I was assured that
      the fix in on the way.

           prepare for the new CPUID flag which tells the kernel that a CPU is
           not affected.
      
         - A less rigorous variant of the module retpoline check which merily
           warns when a non-retpoline protected module is loaded and reflects
           that fact in the sysfs file.

           guest OSes which depend on those "features" can use them. Includes
           a blacklist of the broken microcodes. The actual exposure of the
