Merge tag 'hyperv-next-signed-20251207' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hyperv/linux
Pull hyperv updates from Wei Liu:
- Enhancements to Linux as the root partition for Microsoft Hypervisor: - Support a new mode called L1VH, which allows Linux to drive the hypervisor running the Azure Host directly - Support for MSHV crash dump collection - Allow Linux's memory management subsystem to better manage guest memory regions - Fix issues that prevented a clean shutdown of the whole system on bare metal and nested configurations - ARM64 support for the MSHV driver - Various other bug fixes and cleanups
- Add support for Confidential VMBus for Linux guest on Hyper-V
- Secure AVIC support for Linux guests on Hyper-V
- Add the mshv_vtl driver to allow Linux to run as the secure kernel in a higher virtual trust level for Hyper-V

x86/hyperv: Add trampoline asm code to transition from hypervisor
Introduce a small asm stub to transition from the hypervisor to Linux after devirtualization. Devirtualization means disabling hypervisor on the fly, so after it is done, the code is running on physical processor instead of virtual, and hypervisor is gone. This can be done by a root vm only.
At a high level, during panic of either the hypervisor or the root, the NMI handler asks hypervisor to devirtualize. As part of that, the arguments include an entry point to return back to Linux. This asm stub implements that entry point.
The stub is entered in protected mode, uses temporary gdt and page table to enable long mode and get to kernel entry point which then restores full kernel context to resume execution to kexec.
