PARAVIRT_XXL is exclusively utilized by XEN_PV, which is only compatible
with 64-bit machines.
Clearly designate PARAVIRT_XXL as 64-bit only and remove ifdefs to
support CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS < 5.

For historic reasons there are some TSC-related functions in the
<asm/msr.h> header, even though there's an <asm/tsc.h> header.
To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from <asm/msr.h>
to <asm/tsc.h> and to eventually eliminate the inclusion of
<asm/msr.h> in <asm/tsc.h>, add an explicit <asm/msr.h> dependency
to the source files that reference definitions from <asm/msr.h>.

CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is mainly defined/used by XEN PV guests. For
other VM guest types, features supported under CONFIG_PARAVIRT
are self sufficient. CONFIG_PARAVIRT mainly provides support for
TLB flush operations and time related operations.
For TDX guest as well, paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARVIRT meets
most of its requirement except the need of HLT and SAFE_HLT
paravirt calls, which is currently defined under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL.
Since enabling CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is too bloated for TDX guest
like platforms, move HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
Moving HLT and SAFE_HLT paravirt calls are not fatal and should not
break any functionality for current users of CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

Currently x86 uses CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE when using
paravirt, and not when running on bare metal.
There is no real good reason to do things differently for
each setup. Make them all the same.
Currently get_user_pages_fast synchronizes against page table
freeing in two different ways:
- on bare metal, by blocking IRQs, which block TLB flush IPIs
- on paravirt, with MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
This is done because some paravirt TLB flush implementations
handle the TLB flush in the hypervisor, and will do the flush
even when the target CPU has interrupts disabled.
Always handle page table freeing with MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.
Using RCU synchronization between page table freeing and get_user_pages_fast()
allows bare metal to also do TLB flushing while interrupts are disabled.
Various places in the mm do still block IRQs or disable preemption
as an implicit way to block RCU frees.
That makes it safe to use INVLPGB on AMD CPUs.

With the introduction of kCFI the addition of ENDBR to
SYM_FUNC_START* no longer suffices to make the function indirectly
callable. This now requires the use of SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START.
As such, remove the implicit ENDBR from SYM_FUNC_START* and add some
explicit annotations to fix things up again.

Move pagetable_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table(), so that ptlock and page
table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether RCU is used).
This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock is freed
immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

Convert __tlb_remove_table() to use struct ptdesc, which will help to move
pagetable_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table().
And page tables shouldn't have swap cache, so use pagetable_free() instead
of free_page_and_swap_cache() to free page table pages.

Now, if CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected, the page table pages
will be freed by semi RCU, that is:
- batch table freeing: asynchronous free by RCU
- single table freeing: IPI + synchronous free
In this way, the page table can be lockless traversed by disabling IRQ in
paths such as fast GUP. But this is not enough to free the empty PTE page
table pages in paths other that munmap and exit_mmap path, because IPI
cannot be synchronized with rcu_read_lock() in pte_offset_map{_lock}().
In preparation for supporting empty PTE page table pages reclaimation, let
single table also be freed by RCU like batch table freeing. Then we can
also use pte_offset_map() etc to prevent PTE page from being freed.
Like pte_free_defer(), we can also safely use ptdesc->pt_rcu_head to free
the page table pages:
- The pt_rcu_head is unioned with pt_list and pmd_huge_pte.
- For pt_list, it is used to manage the PGD page in x86. Fortunately
tlb_remove_table() will not be used for free PGD pages, so it is safe
to use pt_rcu_head.
- For pmd_huge_pte, it is used for THPs, so it is safe.
After applying this patch, if CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM is enabled, the function
call of free_pte() is as follows:
free_pte
pte_free_tlb
__pte_free_tlb
___pte_free_tlb
paravirt_tlb_remove_table
tlb_remove_table [!CONFIG_PARAVIRT, Xen PV, Hyper-V, KVM]

tlb_table_invalidate
tlb_remove_table_one
__tlb_remove_table_one [frees via RCU]
[fastpath:]

The kernel can change spinlock behavior when running as a guest. But this
guest-friendly behavior causes performance problems on bare metal.
The kernel uses a static key to switch between the two modes.
In theory, the static key is enabled by default (run in guest mode) and
should be disabled for bare metal (and in some guests that want native
behavior or paravirt spinlock).
A performance drop is reported when running encode/decode workload and
BenchSEE cache sub-workload.
Bisect points to commit ce0a1b608bfc ("x86/paravirt: Silence unused
native_pv_lock_init() function warning"). When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS is
disabled the virt_spin_lock_key is incorrectly set to true on bare
metal. The qspinlock degenerates to test-and-set spinlock, which decreases
the performance on bare metal.
Set the default value of virt_spin_lock_key to false. If booting in a VM,
enable this key. Later during the VM initialization, if other
high-efficient spinlock is preferred (e.g. paravirt-spinlock), or the user
wants the native qspinlock (via nopvspin boot commandline), the
virt_spin_lock_key is disabled accordingly.
This results in the following decision matrix:
X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR Y Y Y N
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS Y Y N Y/N
PV spinlock Y N N Y/N
virt_spin_lock_key N Y/N Y N

The native_pv_lock_init() function is only used in SMP configurations
and declared in asm/qspinlock.h which is not used in UP kernels, but
the function is still defined for both, which causes a warning:
arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c:76:13: error: no previous prototype for 'native_pv_lock_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
Move the declaration to asm/paravirt.h so it is visible even
with CONFIG_SMP but short-circuit the definition to turn it
into an empty function.

All functions referenced via __PV_IS_CALLEE_SAVE() need to be assembler
functions, as those functions calls are hidden from the compiler.
In case the kernel is compiled with "-fzero-call-used-regs" the compiler
will clobber caller-saved registers at the end of C functions, which
will result in unexpectedly zeroed registers at the call site of the
related paravirt functions.
Replace the C functions with DEFINE_PARAVIRT_ASM() constructs using
the same instructions as the related paravirt calls in the
PVOP_ALT_[V]CALLEE*() macros. And since they're not C functions visible
to the compiler anymore, latter won't do the callee-clobbered zeroing
invoked by -fzero-call-used-regs and thus won't corrupt registers.

The two paravirt callbacks .mmu.activate_mm() and .mmu.dup_mmap() are
sharing the same implementations in all cases: for Xen PV guests they
are pinning the PGD of the new mm_struct, and for all other cases they
are a NOP.
In the end, both callbacks are meant to register an address space with
the underlying hypervisor, so there needs to be only a single callback
for that purpose.
So merge them to a common callback .mmu.enter_mmap() (in contrast to the
corresponding already existing .mmu.exit_mmap()).
As the first parameter of the old callbacks isn't used, drop it from the
replacement one.

objtool found a few cases where this code called out into instrumented

- Explicitly uninlining xen_safe_halt() and pv_native_wbinvd() [they were
already uninlined by the compiler on use as function pointers] and
annotating them as 'noinstr'.

There are some paravirt assembler functions which are sharing a common
pattern. Introduce a macro DEFINE_PARAVIRT_ASM() for creating them.
Note that this macro is including explicit alignment of the generated
functions, leading to __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted(),
_paravirt_nop() and paravirt_ret0() to be aligned at 4 byte boundaries
now.
The explicit _paravirt_nop() prototype in paravirt.c isn't needed, as
it is included in paravirt_types.h already.

Add guest api and guest kernel support for SEV live migration.
Introduces a new hypercall to notify the host of changes to the page
encryption status. If the page is encrypted then it must be migrated
through the SEV firmware or a helper VM sharing the key. If page is
not encrypted then it can be migrated normally by userspace. This new
hypercall is invoked using paravirt_ops.
Conflicts: sev_active() replaced by cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT).

Invoke a hypercall when a memory region is changed from encrypted ->
decrypted and vice versa. Hypervisor needs to know the page encryption
status during the guest migration.

before interrupts are being enabled.

To improve TLB shootdown performance, flush the remote and local TLBs
concurrently. Introduce flush_tlb_multi() that does so. Introduce
paravirtual versions of flush_tlb_multi() for KVM, Xen and hyper-v (Xen
and hyper-v are only compile-tested).
While the updated smp infrastructure is capable of running a function on
a single local core, it is not optimized for this case. The multiple
function calls and the indirect branch introduce some overhead, and
might make local TLB flushes slower than they were before the recent
changes.
Before calling the SMP infrastructure, check if only a local TLB flush
is needed to restore the lost performance in this common case. This
requires to check mm_cpumask() one more time, but unless this mask is
updated very frequently, this should impact performance negatively.

POPF is a rather expensive operation, so don't use it for restoring

USERGS_SYSRET64 is used to return from a syscall via SYSRET, but
a Xen PV guest will nevertheless use the IRET hypercall, as there
is no sysret PV hypercall defined.
So instead of testing all the prerequisites for doing a sysret and
then mangling the stack for Xen PV again for doing an iret just use
the iret exit from the beginning.
This can easily be done via an ALTERNATIVE like it is done for the
sysenter compat case already.
It should be noted that this drops the optimization in Xen for not
restoring a few registers when returning to user mode, but it seems
as if the saved instructions in the kernel more than compensate for
this drop (a kernel build in a Xen PV guest was slightly faster with
this patch applied).
While at it remove the stale sysret32 remnants.

SWAPGS is used only for interrupts coming from user mode or for
returning to user mode. So there is no reason to use the PARAVIRT
framework, as it can easily be replaced by an ALTERNATIVE depending
on X86_FEATURE_XENPV.
There are several instances using the PV-aware SWAPGS macro in paths
which are never executed in a Xen PV guest. Replace those with the
plain swapgs instruction. For SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK the same applies.
