In cases where legacy hardware and software support within the guest is not needed, Qemu should be able to boot directly into the uncompressed Linux kernel binary without the need to run firmware. There already exists an ABI to allow this for Xen PVH guests and the ABI is supported by Linux and FreeBSD: https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/pvh.html This patch series would enable Qemu to use that same entry point for booting KVM guests. Changes from v8: * Removed unused KVM_GUEST_PVH symbol. Changes from v7: (No functional changes from v7 other than rebasing to latest upstream) * Added Review-by tags as provided by Juergen Gross (1,2,3,6,7) * Rebasing to upstream 4.18 caused a minor conflict in patch 4 that had to be hand merged due to this patch: 1fe8388 xen: share start flags between PV and PVH I just had to make sure we were accounting for the xen_start_flags in the new code path. * Rebasing to upstream 4.20-rc4 caused a few minor conflicts in patches 2,3,5,7 that needed to be resolved by hand. The conflicts were due to upstream non-functional code cleanup changes in arch/x86/xen/Makefile and arch/x86/platform/pvh/enlighten.c due to these patches: 28c11b0 x86/xen: Move pv irq related functions under CONFIG_XEN_PV umbrella 357d291 x86/xen: Fix boot loader version reported for PVH guests 3cfa210 xen: don't include from and * Qemu and qboot RFC patches have been posted to show one example of how this functionality can be used. Some preliminary numbers are available in those cover letters showing the KVM guest boot time improvement.

Changes from v4: Note: I've withheld Juergen's earlier "Reviewed-by" tags from patches 1 and 7 since there were minor changes (mostly just addition of CONFIG_KVM_GUEST_PVH as requested) that came afterwards. * Changed subject prefix from RFC to PATCH * Added CONFIG_KVM_GUEST_PVH as suggested * Relocated the PVH common files to arch/x86/platform/pvh/{enlighten.c,head.S} * Realized I also needed to move the objtool override for those files * Updated a few code comments per reviewer feedback * Sent out a patch of the hvm_start_info struct changes against the Xen tree since that is the canonical copy of the header. Discussions on that thread have resulted in some (non-functional) updates to start_info.h (patch 6/7) and those changes are reflected here as well in order to keep the files in sync. The header file has since been ack'ed for the Xen tree by Jan Beulich. Changes from v3: * Implemented Juergen's suggestion for refactoring and moving the PVH code so that CONFIG_XEN is no longer required for booting KVM guests via the PVH entry point. Functionally, nothing has changed from V3 really, but the patches look completely different now because of all the code movement and refactoring. Some of these patches can be combined, but I've left them very small in some cases to make the refactoring and code movement easier to review. My approach for refactoring has been to create a PVH entry layer that still has understanding and knowledge about Xen vs non-Xen guest types so that it can make run time decisions to handle either case, as opposed to going all the way and re-writing it to be a completely hypervisor agnostic and architecturally pure layer that is separate from guest type details. The latter seemed a bit overkill in this situation. And I've handled the complexity of having to support Qemu/KVM boot of kernels compiled with or without CONFIG_XEN via a pair of xen specific __weak routines that can be overridden in kernels that support Xen guests. Importantly, the __weak routines are for xen specific code only (not generic "guest type" specific code) so there is no clashing between xen version of the strong routine and, say, a KVM version of the same routine. But I'm sure there are many ways to skin this cat, so I'm open to alternate suggestions if there is a compelling reason for not using __weak in this situation. Changes from v2: * All structures (including memory map table entries) are padded and aligned to an 8 byte boundary. * Removed the "packed" attributes and made changes to comments as suggested by Jan. Changes from v1: * Adopted Paolo's suggestion for defining a v2 PVH ABI that includes the e820 map instead of using the second module entry to pass the table. * Cleaned things up a bit to reduce the number of xen vs non-xen special cases.
