Zhenzhong Duan 3097834637 x86: Add "nopv" parameter to disable PV extensions
In virtualization environment, PV extensions (drivers, interrupts,
timers, etc) are enabled in the majority of use cases which is the
best option.

However, in some cases (kexec not fully working, benchmarking)
we want to disable PV extensions. We have "xen_nopv" for that purpose
but only for XEN. For a consistent admin experience a common command
line parameter "nopv" set across all PV guest implementations is a
better choice.

There are guest types which just won't work without PV extensions,
like Xen PV, Xen PVH and jailhouse. add a "ignore_nopv" member to
struct hypervisor_x86 set to true for those guest types and call
the detect functions only if nopv is false or ignore_nopv is true.

This variable is a period unit (number of clock cycles per jiffy),
not a frequency (which is number of cycles per second).

Give it a more appropriate name.

Yi Wang 89f579ce99 x86/headers: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warning
When building the kernel with W=1 we get a lot of -Wmissing-prototypes
warnings, which are trivial in nature and easy to fix - and which may
mask some real future bugs if the prototypes get out of sync with
the function definition.

This patch fixes most of -Wmissing-prototypes warnings which
are in the root directory of arch/x86/kernel, not including
the subdirectories.

These are the warnings fixed in this patch:

Arnd Bergmann e27c49291a x86: Convert x86_platform_ops to timespec64
The x86 platform operations are fairly isolated, so it's easy to change
them from using timespec to timespec64. It has been checked that all the
users and callers are safe, and there is only one critical function that is
broken beyond 2106:

  pvclock_read_wallclock() uses a 32-bit number of seconds since the epoch
  to communicate the boot time between host and guest in a virtual
  environment. This will work until 2106, but fixing this is outside the
  scope of this change, Add a comment at least.

Jan Kiszka cf878e169d x86/jailhouse: Wire up IOAPIC for legacy UART ports
The typical I/O interrupts in non-root cells are MSI-based. However, the
platform UARTs do not support MSI. In order to run a non-root cell that
shall use one of them, the standard IOAPIC must be registered and 1:1
routing for IRQ 3 and 4 set up.

If an IOAPIC is not available, the boot loader clears standard_ioapic in
the setup data, so registration is skipped. If the guest is not allowed to
to use one of those pins, Jailhouse will simply ignore the access.

Jan Kiszka 0d7c1e2218 x86/jailhouse: Avoid access of unsupported platform resources
Non-root cells do not have CMOS access, thus the warm reset cannot be
enabled. There is no RTC, thus also no wall clock. Furthermore, there
are no ISA IRQs and no PIC.

Also disable probing of i8042 devices that are typically blocked for
non-root cells. In theory, access could also be granted to a non-root
cell, provided the root cell is not using the devices. But there is no
concrete scenario in sight, and disabling probing over Jailhouse allows
to build generic kernels that keep CONFIG_SERIO enabled for use in
normal systems.

Register the APIC which Jailhouse always exposes at 0xfee00000 if in

Jailhouse requires the APIC to be operated in phys-flat mode. Ensure
that this mode is selected by Linux.

The available CPUs are taken from the setup data structure that the
loader filled and registered with the kernel.

Jan Kiszka 4a362601ba x86/jailhouse: Add infrastructure for running in non-root cell
The Jailhouse hypervisor is able to statically partition a multicore
system into multiple so-called cells. Linux is used as boot loader and
continues to run in the root cell after Jailhouse is enabled. Linux can
also run in non-root cells.

Jailhouse does not emulate usual x86 devices. It also provides no
complex ACPI but basic platform information that the boot loader
forwards via setup data. This adds the infrastructure to detect when
running in a non-root cell so that the platform can be configured as
required in succeeding steps.

Support is limited to x86-64 so far, primarily because no boot loader
stub exists for i386 and, thus, we wouldn't be able to test the 32-bit
path.
