[PATCH v7 0/9] i386: KVM: expand Hyper-V features early


From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Subject: [PATCH v7 0/9] i386: KVM: expand Hyper-V features early
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2021 13:48:26 +0200

Changes since v6 [Eduardo]:
- First 14 patches of v6 made it upstream!
- New patches addressing feedback on the already merged patches added:
  i386: make hyperv_expand_features() return bool
  i386: hardcode supported eVMCS version to '1'
  i386: clarify 'hv-passthrough' behavior
  i386: avoid hardcoding '12' as 'hyperv_vendor_id' length
- Some comments expanded.
- HV_HYPERCALL_AVAILABLE setting moved to hyperv_fill_cpuids()

Note: Windows guest on QEMU are currently completely broken, see Claudio's
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20210529091313.16708-1-cfontana@suse.de/

The last two functional patches are inspired by 'Fine-grained access check
to Hyper-V hypercalls and MSRs' work for KVM:

Original description:

Upper layer tools like libvirt want to figure out which Hyper-V features are
supported by the underlying stack (QEMU/KVM) but currently they are unable to
do so. We have a nice 'hv_passthrough' CPU flag supported by QEMU but it has
no effect on e.g. QMP's 

query-cpu-model-expansion type=full 
model={"name":"host","props":{"hv-passthrough":true}}

command as we parse Hyper-V features after creating KVM vCPUs and not at
feature expansion time. To support the use-case we first need to make 
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl a system-wide ioctl as the existing
vCPU version can't be used that early. This is what KVM part does. With
that done, we can make early Hyper-V feature expansion (this series).

Vitaly Kuznetsov (9):
  i386: avoid hardcoding '12' as 'hyperv_vendor_id' length
  i386: clarify 'hv-passthrough' behavior
  i386: hardcode supported eVMCS version to '1'
  i386: make hyperv_expand_features() return bool
  i386: expand Hyper-V features during CPU feature expansion time
  i386: kill off hv_cpuid_check_and_set()
  i386: HV_HYPERCALL_AVAILABLE privilege bit is always needed
  i386: Hyper-V SynIC requires POST_MESSAGES/SIGNAL_EVENTS priviliges
  qtest/hyperv: Introduce a simple hyper-v test
