VMware hypercalls use I/O port, VMCALL or VMMCALL instructions. Add a call to
__tdx_hypercall() in order to support TDX guests.
No change in high bandwidth hypercalls, as only low bandwidth ones are supported

Introduce a vmware_hypercall family of functions. It is a common implementation
to be used by the VMware guest code and virtual device drivers in architecture
independent manner.
The API consists of vmware_hypercallX and vmware_hypercall_hb_{out,in}
set of functions analogous to KVM's hypercall API. Architecture-specific
implementation is hidden inside.
It will simplify future enhancements in VMware hypercalls such as SEV-ES and
TDX related changes without needs to modify a caller in device drivers code.
Current implementation extends an idea from
bac7b4e843 ("x86/vmware: Update platform detection code for VMCALL/VMMCALL hypercalls")
to have a slow, but safe path vmware_hypercall_slow() earlier during the boot
when alternatives are not yet applied. The code inherits VMWARE_CMD logic from
the commit mentioned above.
Move common macros from vmware.c to vmware.h.

Steal time is the amount of CPU time needed by a guest virtual machine
that is not provided by the host. Steal time occurs when the host
allocates this CPU time elsewhere, for example, to another guest.
Steal time can be enabled by adding the VM configuration option
stealclock.enable = "TRUE". It is supported by VMs that run hardware
version 13 or newer.
Introduce the VMware steal time infrastructure. The high level code
(such as enabling, disabling and hot-plug routines) was derived from KVM.

overhead for systems with constant frequency TSCs.
The vmware hypervisor guarantees a constant frequency TSC, so
native_sched_clock() is not required and slower than a dedicated function

Calculate the conversion factors at boot time from the tsc frequency and

Since the vmware hypervisor provides a constant frequency TSC to the guest,

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.
Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

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.

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 5e427ec2d0 ("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.

When running on VMware's platform, we have seen situations where
the AP's try to calibrate the lpj values and fail to get good calibration
runs becasue of timing issues. As a result delays don't work correctly
on all cpus.
The solutions is to set preset_lpj value based on the current tsc frequency
value. This is similar to what KVM does as well.

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.

This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.
There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.
We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.
The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

On an AMD-64 system the processor frequency that is printed during
system boot, may be different than the tsc frequency that was
returned by the hypervisor, due to the value returned from
calibrate_cpu.
For debugging timekeeping or other related issues it might be
better to get the tsc_khz value returned by the hypervisor.
The patch below now prints the tsc frequency that the VMware
hypervisor returned.

TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by
separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as
well. So make calibrate_tsc a proper x86_init_ops function and
override it by paravirt or by the early setup of the vmware
hypervisor.

Impact: Should permit VMware detection on older platforms where the
vendor is changed. Could theoretically cause a regression if some
weird serial number scheme contains the string "VMware" by pure
chance. Seems unlikely, especially with the mixed case.
In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific
DMI string, but the product serial key is always there and is VMware specific.
Add a interface to check the serial key, when checking for VMware in the DMI
information.
