[PATCH v1 2/3] x86/xen/time: setup vcpu 0 time info page

From: Joao Martins
Date: Wed Jan 25 2017 - 12:31:26 EST


In order to support pvclock vdso on xen we need to setup the time
info page for vcpu 0 and register the page with Xen using the
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_time_memory_area hypercall. This hypercall
will also forcefully update the pvti which will set some of the
necessary flags for vdso. Afterwards we check if it supports the
PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT flag which is mandatory for having
vdso/vsyscall support. And if so, it will set the cpu 0 pvti that
will be later on used when mapping the vdso image.

The xen headers are also updated to include the new hypercall for
registering the secondary vcpu_time_info struct.

Changes since RFC:
(Comments from Boris and David)
* Remove Kconfig option
* Use get_zeroed_page/free/page
* Remove the hypercall availability check
* Unregister pvti with arg.addr.v = NULL if stable bit isn't supported.
(New)
* Set secondary copy on restore such that it works on migration.
* Drop global xen_clock variable and stash it locally on
xen_setup_vsyscall_time_info.
* WARN_ON(ret) if we fail to unregister the pvti.
