hv_hvcrash_ctxt_save() in arch/x86/hyperv/hv_crash.c currently saves
segment registers via a general-purpose register (%eax). Update the
code to save segment registers (cs, ss, ds, es, fs, gs) directly to
the crash context memory using movw. This avoids unnecessary use of
a general-purpose register, making the code simpler and more efficient.
The size of the corresponding object file improves as follows:
text data bss dec hex filename
4167 176 200 4543 11bf hv_crash-old.o
4151 176 200 4527 11af hv_crash-new.o
No functional change occurs to the saved context contents; this is
purely a code-quality improvement.

hv_crash_c_entry() is a C function that is entered without a stack,
and this is only allowed for functions that have the __naked attribute,
which informs the compiler that it must not emit the usual prologue and
epilogue or emit any other kind of instrumentation that relies on a
stack frame.
So split up the function, and set the __naked attribute on the initial
part that sets up the stack, GDT, IDT and other pieces that are needed
for ordinary C execution. Given that function calls are not permitted
either, use the existing long return coded in an asm() block to call the
second part of the function, which is an ordinary function that is
permitted to call other functions as usual.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

When running with a paravisor and SEV-SNP, the GHCB page is provided
by the paravisor instead of being allocated by Linux. The provided page
is normal memory, but is outside of the physical address space seen by
Linux. As such it cannot be accessed via the kernel's direct map, and
must be explicitly mapped to a kernel virtual address.
Current code uses ioremap_cache() and iounmap() to map and unmap the page.
These functions are for use on I/O address space that may not behave as
normal memory, so they generate or expect addresses with the __iomem
attribute. For normal memory, the preferred functions are memremap() and
memunmap(), which operate similarly but without __iomem.
At the time of the original work on CoCo VMs on Hyper-V, memremap() did not
support creating a decrypted mapping, so ioremap_cache() was used instead,
since I/O address space is always mapped decrypted. memremap() has since
been enhanced to allow decrypted mappings, so replace ioremap_cache() with
memremap() when mapping the GHCB page. Similarly, replace iounmap() with
memunmap(). As a side benefit, the replacement cleans up 'sparse' warnings
about __iomem mismatches.
The replacement is done to use the correct functions as long-term goodness
and to clean up the sparse warnings. No runtime bugs are fixed.

Introduce a new file to implement collection of hypervisor RAM into the
vmcore collected by linux. By default, the hypervisor RAM is locked, ie,
protected via hw page table. Hyper-V implements a disable hypercall which
essentially devirtualizes the system on the fly. This mechanism makes the
hypervisor RAM accessible to linux. Because the hypervisor RAM is already
mapped into linux address space (as reserved RAM), it is automatically
collected into the vmcore without extra work. More details of the
implementation are available in the file prologue.
