Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] drivers/virt: vmgenid: add vm generation id driver

- Background

The VM Generation ID is a feature defined by Microsoft (paper:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260709) and supported by
multiple hypervisor vendors.

The feature can be used to drive the `sysgenid` mechanism required in
virtualized environments by software that works with local copies and
caches of world-unique data such as random values, uuids, monotonically
increasing counters, etc.

- Solution

The VM Generation ID is a hypervisor/hardware provided 128-bit unique
ID that changes each time the VM is restored from a snapshot. It can be
used to differentiate between VMs or different generations of the same
VM.
This VM Generation ID is exposed through an ACPI device by multiple
hypervisor vendors.

The `vmgenid` driver uses ACPI events to be notified by hardware
changes to the 128-bit Vm Gen Id HW UUID. The UUID is not exposed to
userspace, it is added by the driver as device randomness to improve
kernel entropy following VM snapshot events.

This driver also acts as a backend for the `sysgenid` kernel module
(`drivers/misc/sysgenid.c`, `Documentation/misc-devices/sysgenid.rst`)
to drive changes to the "System Generation Id" which is further exposed
to userspace as a system-wide monotonically increasing counter.

This patch builds on top of Or Idgar <oridgar@...il.com>'s proposal
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/1/498

+VMGENID
+=======
+
+The VM Generation ID is a feature defined by Microsoft (paper:
+http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260709) and supported by
+multiple hypervisor vendors.
+
+The feature is required in virtualized environments by applications
+that work with local copies/caches of world-unique data such as random
+values, UUIDs, monotonically increasing counters, etc.
+Such applications can be negatively affected by VM snapshotting when
+the VM is either cloned or returned to an earlier point in time.
+
+The VM Generation ID is a simple concept meant to alleviate the issue
+by providing a unique ID that changes each time the VM is restored
+from a snapshot. The hardware provided UUID value can be used to
+differentiate between VMs or different generations of the same VM.
+
+The VM Generation ID is exposed through an ACPI device by multiple
+hypervisor vendors. The driver for it lives at
+``drivers/virt/vmgenid.c``
+
+The ``vmgenid`` driver uses ACPI events to be notified by hardware
+changes to the 128-bit Vm Gen Id UUID. This UUID is not exposed to
+userspace, it is added by the driver as device randomness to improve
+kernel entropy following VM snapshot events.
+
+This driver also acts as a backend for the ``sysgenid`` kernel module
+(``drivers/misc/sysgenid.c``, ``Documentation/misc-devices/sysgenid.rst``)
+to drive changes to the "System Generation Id" which is further exposed
+to userspace as a monotonically increasing counter.
