Commit 61f01dd9 ("x86_64, asm: Work around AMD SYSRET SS descriptor attribute issue") makes AMD processors set SS to __KERNEL_DS in __switch_to() to deal with cases when SS is NULL. This breaks Xen PV guests who do not want to load SS with__KERNEL_DS. Since the problem that the commit is trying to address would have to be fixed in the hypervisor (if it in fact exists under Xen) there is no reason to set X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS flag for PV VPCUs here. This can be easily achieved by adding x86_hyper_xen_hvm.set_cpu_features op which will clear this flag. (And since this structure is no longer HVM-specific we should do some renaming).

We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement each others features. This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() return a priority instead of true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be implemented on top. Suggested by H. Peter Anvin and Paolo Bonzini. Acked-by: NK. Y.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

This patch updates x2apic initializaition code to allow x2apic on VMware platform even without interrupt remapping support. The hypervisor_x2apic_available hook was added in x2apic initialization code and used by KVM and XEN, before this. I have also cleaned up that code to export this hook through the hypervisor_x86 structure. Compile tested for KVM and XEN configs, this patch doesn't have any functional effect on those two platforms. On VMware platform, verified that x2apic is used in physical mode on products that support this.

While debugging I noticed that unlike all the other hypervisor code in the kernel, kvm does not have an entry for x86_hyper which is used in detect_hypervisor_platform() which results in a nice printk in the syslog. This is only really a stub function but it does make kvm more consistent with the other hypervisors.

Clean up the hypervisor layer and the hypervisor drivers, using an ops structure instead of an enumeration with if statements. The identity of the hypervisor, if needed, can be tested by testing the pointer value in x86_hyper. The MS-HyperV private state is moved into a normal global variable (it's per-system state, not per-CPU state). Being a normal bss variable, it will be left at all zero on non-HyperV platforms, and so can generally be tested for HyperV-specific features without additional qualification. Signed-off-by: NH.

Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. Use the synthetic TSC_RELIABLE bit to workaround virtualization anomalies. Virtual TSCs can be kept nearly in sync, but because the virtual TSC offset is set by software, it's not perfect. So, the TSC synchronization test can fail. Even then the TSC can be used as a clocksource since the VMware platform exports a reliable TSC to the guest for timekeeping purposes. Use this bit to check if we need to skip the TSC sync checks. Along with this also set the CONSTANT_TSC bit when on VMware, since we still want to use TSC as clocksource on VM running over hardware which has unsynchronized TSC's (opteron's), since the hypervisor will take care of providing consistent TSC to the guest.

Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request behind a hypervisor.c file v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
