Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/18] Microsoft Hypervisor root partition ioctl interface

This patch series provides a userspace interface for creating and running guest
virtual machines while running on the Microsoft Hypervisor [0].

Since managing guest machines can only be done when Linux is the root partition,
this series depends on the RFC already posted by Wei Liu:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hyperv/20201105165814.29233-1-wei.liu@kernel.org/T/#t

The first two patches provide some helpers for converting hypervisor status
codes to linux error codes, and easily printing hypervisor status codes to dmesg
for debugging.

Hyper-V related headers asm-generic/hyperv-tlfs.h and x86/asm/hyperv-tlfs.h are
split into uapi and non-uapi. The uapi versions contain structures used in both
the ioctl interface and the kernel.

The mshv API is introduced in virt/mshv/mshv_main.c. As each interface is
introduced, documentation is added in Documentation/virt/mshv/api.rst.
The API is file-desciptor based, like KVM. The entry point is /dev/mshv.

/dev/mshv ioctls:
MSHV_REQUEST_VERSION
MSHV_CREATE_PARTITION

Partition (vm) ioctls:
MSHV_MAP_GUEST_MEMORY, MSHV_UNMAP_GUEST_MEMORY
MSHV_INSTALL_INTERCEPT
MSHV_ASSERT_INTERRUPT
MSHV_GET_PARTITION_PROPERTY, MSHV_SET_PARTITION_PROPERTY
MSHV_CREATE_VP

Vp (vcpu) ioctls:
MSHV_GET_VP_REGISTERS, MSHV_SET_VP_REGISTERS
MSHV_RUN_VP
MSHV_GET_VP_STATE, MSHV_SET_VP_STATE
mmap() (register page)

[0] Hyper-V is more well-known, but it really refers to the whole stack
    including the hypervisor and other components that run in Windows kernel
    and userspace.

Nuno Das Neves (18):
  x86/hyperv: convert hyperv statuses to linux error codes
  asm-generic/hyperv: convert hyperv statuses to strings
  virt/mshv: minimal mshv module (/dev/mshv/)
  virt/mshv: request version ioctl
  virt/mshv: create partition ioctl
  virt/mshv: create, initialize, finalize, delete partition hypercalls
  virt/mshv: withdraw memory hypercall
  virt/mshv: map and unmap guest memory
  virt/mshv: create vcpu ioctl
  virt/mshv: get and set vcpu registers ioctls
  virt/mshv: set up synic pages for intercept messages
  virt/mshv: run vp ioctl and isr
  virt/mshv: install intercept ioctl
  virt/mshv: assert interrupt ioctl
  virt/mshv: get and set vp state ioctls
  virt/mshv: mmap vp register page
  virt/mshv: get and set partition property ioctls
  virt/mshv: Add enlightenment bits to create partition ioctl
