Subject: [PATCH v1 0/6] Hyper-V: Implement hypervisor core collection

This patch series implements hypervisor core collection when running
under linux as root (aka dom0). By default initial hypervisor ram is
already mapped into linux as reserved. Further any ram deposited comes
from linux memory heap. The hypervisor locks all that ram to protect
it from dom0 or any other domains. At a high level, the methodology
involes devirtualizing the system on the fly upon either linux crash
or the hypervisor crash, then collecting ram as usual. This means
hypervisor ram is automatically collected into the vmcore.

Hypervisor pages are then accessible via crash command (using raw mem
dump) or windbg which has the ability to read hypervisor pdb symbol
file.

V1:
 o Describe changes in imperative mood. Remove "This commit"
 o Remove pr_emerg: causing unnecessary review noise
 o Add missing kexec_crash_loaded()
 o Remove leftover unnecessary memcpy in hv_crash_setup_trampdata
 o Address objtool warnings via annotations

Mukesh Rathor (6):
  x86/hyperv: Rename guest crash shutdown function
  hyperv: Add two new hypercall numbers to guest ABI public header
  hyperv: Add definitions for hypervisor crash dump support
  x86/hyperv: Add trampoline asm code to transition from hypervisor
  x86/hyperv: Implement hypervisor ram collection into vmcore
  x86/hyperv: Enable build of hypervisor crashdump collection files
