Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] VMware hypercalls enhancements

VMware hypercalls invocations were all spread out across the kernel
implementing same ABI as in-place asm-inline. With encrypted memory
and confidential computing it became harder to maintain every changes
in these hypercall implementations.

Intention of this patchset is to introduce arch independent VMware
hypercall API layer other subsystems such as device drivers can call
to, while hiding architecture specific implementation behind.

Second patch introduces the vmware_hypercall low and high bandwidth
families of functions, with little enhancements there.
Sixth patch adds tdx hypercall support

arm64 implementation of vmware_hypercalls is in drivers/gpu/drm/
vmwgfx/vmwgfx_msg_arm64.h and going to be moved to arch/arm64 with
a separate patchset with the introduction of VMware Linux guest
support for arm64.

No functional changes in drivers/input/mouse/vmmouse.c and
drivers/ptp/ptp_vmw.c

v2->v3 changes: (no functional changes in patches 1-5)
- Improved commit message in patches 1, 2 and 5 as was suggested by
  Borislav Petkov.
- To address Dave Hansen's concern, patch 6 was reorganized to avoid
  exporting bare __tdx_hypercall and to make exported vmware_tdx_hypercall
  VMWare guest specific.

v1->v2 changes (no functional changes):
- Improved commit message in patches 2 and 5.
- Added Reviewed-by for all patches.
- Added Ack from Dmitry Torokhov in patch 4. No fixes regarding reported
  by Simon Horman gcc error in this patch.

Alexey Makhalov (6):
  x86/vmware: Move common macros to vmware.h
  x86/vmware: Introduce vmware_hypercall API
  ptp/vmware: Use vmware_hypercall API
  input/vmmouse: Use vmware_hypercall API
  drm/vmwgfx: Use vmware_hypercall API
  x86/vmware: Add TDX hypercall support
