Drivers: hv: vmbus: add special kexec handler
When general-purpose kexec (not kdump) is being performed in Hyper-V guest the newly booted kernel fails with an MCE error coming from the host. It is the same error which was fixed in the "Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement the protocol for tearing down vmbus state" commit - monitor pages remain special and when they're being written to (as the new kernel doesn't know these pages are special) bad things happen. We need to perform some minimalistic cleanup before booting a new kernel on kexec. To do so we need to register a special machine_ops.shutdown handler to be executed before the native_machine_shutdown(). Registering a shutdown notification handler via the register_reboot_notifier() call is not sufficient as it happens to early for our purposes. machine_ops is not being exported to modules (and I don't think we want to export it) so let's do this in mshyperv.c The minimalistic cleanup consists of cleaning up clockevents, synic MSRs, guest os id MSR, and hypercall MSR. Kdump doesn't require all this stuff as it lives in a separate memory space. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
