Enable PV qspinlock for Hyper-V

v2->v3:
- use "Hyper-V: " as the message prefix
- remove unnecessary header files
- remove unnecessary check in 'hv_qlock_wait'
- fix compilation error on different platforms

v1->v2:
- compile hv_spinlock.c only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled
- merge v1 patch 2/3 to single patch
- remove part of the boilerplate in hv_spinlock.c
- declare hv_pvspin as __initdata
- remove spin_wait_info and hv_notify_long_spin_wait because SpinWaitInfo is a standalone feature.
- add comments for reading HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_IDLE
- replace pr_warn to pr_info
- use pr_fmt instead of the 'hv:' prefix
- register callback function for smp_ops.smp_prepare_boot_cpu to initialize hyper-v spinlock

This patch adds the necessary Hyper-V specific code to allow PV qspinlock work on Hyper-V.

In wait callback function, read HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_IDLE MSR to trigger the guest's transition to the idle power state which can be exited by an IPI even if IF flag is disabled.

In kick callback function, just send platform IPI to make waiting vcpu exit idle state.

In vcpu_is_preempted callback function, return false directly because Hyper-V does not provide such interface so far.

1.9.1

Hyper-V may expose a HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_IDLE MSR. We can read HYPERV_CPUID_FEATURES eax to check it. Read this MSR can trigger the guest's transition to the idle power state which can be exited by an IPI even if IF flag is disabled.

Follow PV spinlock mechanism to implement the callback functions to allow the CPU idling and kicking operations on Hyper-V.

Sorry for noticing this only now, but I have been fighting with Xen PV qspinlocks last weekend:

...

Interesting question. I zapped the last commit for now until this is clarified.

Thanks,

tglx

Thank you for the suggestion! That is a possible case. I will submit a new version in soon.

BRs,
Yi Sun
